Bring us back to Life!

TUNES

All of this time, I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don’t let me die here
(There must be something more) bring me to life

[- Amy Lee, Evanescence -]
Ideas and inspiration for pictures… I get this asked a lot and often I have no idea what to answer. Many times I just unpack boxes of what I have bought and see what would maybe go together – that usually is a long process of try and error. When I am done styling, I try to find or build a scenery that in my opinion goes with that look.
The second way I come to an idea is a little more easy. I go out and take a look at some events and maybe I find something that kicks me and I do get a instant idea of what I would like to do with it.
The third possibility is I saw a picture in real life, or I heard a song where the lyrics did inspire me and I try to make my own version or my own vision of it.
Or… it is somehow a combination of some or all of those *giggles*
Most of the time I just go with the flow, let it happen and if I like the result it gets posted – yes, I do trash ready pictures if I do not like them and start over, even if I did work hours or days on them 😉
I do not know if it really is blogging like I used to do it in the past. In my personal view blogging is showcasing and maybe even review the items to give the reader a picture of what they get when they buy it. That was what I was taught when I started blogging. Over the time, that changed for me as I wanted more and more my own twist and visions in the pictures I do. Not only a blunt showcase of the item in the perfect day light, but my emotions, my feelings and.. maybe even myself somehow.
I was struggling for a while if I do still want to call myself “blogger” or if I should call myself just “digital artist”
Seeing how blogging changed in general and seeing how much more freedom bloggers do get, I decided to combine both and just have fun with it – as long as my sponsors do allow me 🙂
Today it was a combination of ideas.
First I saw the amazing Horns from Nefekalum at The Warehouse Sale and did know I do want to do something with them. They are so extraordinary in shape, textures and colors – just a must have! While was walking through the event I did see the new Hair from no.match – which I was allowed to be on the advertisement (thank you no.match and sis) – and with the shaved sides, they perfectly went with the horns!
I do not get that lucky all the time to find a whole style at one event usually but this time, it seemed to be fortune, as I found the outfit from Rokins and the cool makeup from [Reverie] at the same event, too!!!
After I put everything together, certainly with nails from FORMANAILS – my most favorite nail designer ♥ – I loved what I saw, but had no idea of what I could do with it *chuckles*
If I do not have the blink of an idea what to do, I usually jump first into my animals folder and see if I find something that calls to be rezzed out. This time it were the smelly raven friends from {vespertine} I got a while ago (sometimes things need to sit unused in my inventory until they are ready to go *giggles*). Seeing those the cool “Messenger Crow” animesh made – by [Apika] – came to my mind again. Why not doing something like “Bring the ravens back to live” like the “Messenger Crow”?
Where else than at a dark cemetery with a Gothic looking fence around midnight, dark magic could be done better?
Said – Done!
And here it is 😉

Happy New Year!

TUNES

Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can’t sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep

No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry

[- Sisters of Mercy -]

Happy New Year everybody! – Hopefully it will be better then the past ones, I really had enough crap going on and it is time to get better 😉

Maybe I have the strength to sit down and write down the most of what happened at least in the past 4 month – I guess that already could fill a damn book 😉

I’m a lost cause…

TUNES

Somebody save me, me from myself
I’ve spent so long living in Hell
They say my lifestyle is bad for my health
It’s the only thing that seems to help

All of this drinkin’ and smokin’ is hopeless
But feel like it’s all that I need
Somethin’ inside of me’s broken
I hold on to anything that sets me free

I’m a lost cause
Baby, don’t waste your time on me
I’m so damaged beyond repair
Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams

Meva-licious ;)

I had the great honor to be part in the “Meva Magazine Fall 2023” along with the Meva staff members, customers and bloggers. Mea is a friend for YEARS and so it was clear, I had to do a style with her amazing designs – that wasn’t a hard task at all. Her store is full of incredible creations and ideas of all kind of genres. She not just designs clothing, but as well shoes and accessories for both genders. This was the result after I finally made a decision what I would like to combine with so many cool options 😉

Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 2

TUNES

I know you get too caught up in a moment
You can’t call it love if you show it
We just fuck things up, yeah, I noticed
Yeah, I noticed, hear me? Yeah, I noticed
Step out of the moment
That’s been trappin’ you in all this negativity of hatred and insanity
Don’t dwell on the past, it’s time to make a change
Look around, believe in what you see, I have returned to Hell

[- Halsey  SUGA -]

As promised, here part 2 of my “Halloween Nightmares” series!

I am having way too much fun with that new LeLUTKA “Lilith” head I guess *giggles*. Today I went over to [Glam Affair] again (yesterday I just picked up the 2 new masks for the “Lilith” head) and picked up the amazing “Lilith” skin they made for the new head. They have 5 amazing, different tones for the horns in the pack together with 3 different shades as well.

For the face I found that amazing faceart from [the Skinnery] at FLF-oWeen and wasn’t yet sure how I want to style that up, but with the “Lilith” head I immediately had an idea. With all the gold in the face tattoo, I wanted to have a overall black/golden look and the cool gacha from ANTINATURAL[+] came to my mind. Even if it is quite old and the store doesn’t anymore exist, it made a perfect match for my look together with that incredible animated wings from CURELESS[+].

I have a feeling that this wasn’t my last post for this series yet – I already have another idea. Let’s see if I can make it before Halloween is finally there. On the other hand… why I should stop with the Halloween day? The nights are still long, dark and spooky, even after Halloween *giggles*
