Belated Happy Halloween! – Or welcome to the dark season of the year *winks*

by

Slowly I start to believe Vivien more and more when she said 2022 is cursed and we just should skip the rest of it… After catching Covid the 3rd time I started to get better again when my the kids of my school gifted me some kind of weird flu – another week down. Now last weekend It felt like it would be over and agreed to have lunch with my mom. I said I will prepare everything and we will come down to eat, so she doesn’t have to get up all the stairs (we live in one house but 2 different apartments). So we prepared everything and already were on our way down. I still felt a little wonky so the second half of the stairs, my partner decided to take the potatoes and the meat off my hands which I was carrying in a pot. When he had everything, I thought I could get down a little faster and … DANG… I fell down the second half of the stairs. Right knee, left shoulder and left wrist did hurt like hell and parts of the hand already were dark red, a few days later dark blue. My  knee was the worst as I could not walk anymore kinda instantly – Another half week on the couch and not really able to sit or move.. bye bye Halloween *sighs*

So today is the first day I was able to get up again and limp on my own through the apartment to my computer and sit down to work a little bit.

So you will have to stick with some more creepy, spooky pictures for a while I guess, as I prepared quite a few for Halloween *giggles* – But then, most of you are anyway used to my dark side and the fact that the dark season for me doesn’t end with Halloween anyway :p

So belated Happy Halloween!

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // September 2021 // Araneus Saga Chaper 1

by

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // September 28th – October 23th

Araneus Saga – Chapter 1

Three days before her Coronation, Wicca stands in the Great Chamber with a heavy heart. She stares at the shattered remains of the case that once contained the Araneus, the three symbols of leadership which she must accept in a formal ceremony before she can reign as Queen. Without the Araneus, Wicca’s Kingdom may be lost forever.

The Royal Guard informed Wicca that three rebels each took one piece of the Araneus and fled the Kingdom in three different directions. However, the rebels were not clever at hiding their tracks and the guards discovered the location of all three pieces. Wicca ordered three pairs of guards, all dressed as commoners, to follow the path of the thieves and recover the Araneus.

Hours later, one of the thieves lie dead at Wicca’s feet. He took his own life rather than risk capture and torture at the hand of the Royal Guard. The necklace – the Heart of People – granting her the right to rule the kingdom, was en route to a neighboring Kingdom with an eye on Wicca’s throne. Had the thief been successful, her peaceful kingdom would be at the mercy of a tyrannical Warlord.

The return of the necklace was not enough. Until the remaining two pieces of the Araneus were returned, no one was safe.

To be continued …

Black Widow

TUNES

“Leaving lepidoptera… Please, don’t touch the display,
Little boy, aha cute! Moving to the next aisle we have
Arachnida, the spiders, our… Finest collection.
This friendly little devil is the heptothilidi,
Unfortunately harmless. Next to him, the nasty licosa
Raptoria, his tiny fangs cause creeping ulcerations of
The skin (laugh). And here, my prize, the Black
Widow. Isn’t she lovely?… And so deadly. Her kiss is
Fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake.
You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say
That it attacks the central nervous system causing
Intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in
Breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions
And, finally… Death. You know what I think I love the
Most about her is her inborn need to dominate,
Possess. In fact, immediately after the consummation
Of her marriage to the smaller and weaker male of the
Species she kills and eats him…(laugh) oh, she is
Delicious… And I hope he was! Such power and dignity
… Unhampered by sentiment. If I may put forward a
Slice of personal philosophy, I feel that man has ruled
This world as a stumbling dimented child-king long
Enough! And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black
Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!”
[- Vincent Price, Intro to the Alice Cooper Song BlackWidow -]

“The cavern cracked and groaned. Dirt, rocks, and glow worms rained on their heads. With a wave of panic, Andy swung around and dashed into the next cavern. “Run!” The ceiling collapsed. Behind him, Medusa laughed, her snakes still hissing.”
[A.P. Mobley, The Helm of Darkness]

Finally my favorite season arrived… October is here!!!

Now I can be freaky, scary and dark without being asked if I am ok or being called weird and a freak – not that I do really care during the year, but these days I can feel “normal” *giggles*

So the first one today – kinda my annual brake-free – features some new releases from Salt & Pepper and Nefekalum Tattoos and some of my long time favorites like CURELESS[+], UTOPIA@Design, Avanti and one of our latest releases, as it did fit in so nicely.

First I wanted to do a scary Medusa typical picture and the Salt release her “Guardian” for the Salem event. I t looked so cool, that I could not wait for another post and so I gave myself the challenge to find an idea, how I could use both. The result was the vision of a gatekeeper for an old, mystic cave with lots of cobwebs and spiders.

Recently I love to play with lights and projectors, as well as with new Photoshop tricks a lot. The result is, that I tend to use a plain dark background, to be able to add in some layers and basically try create the background in Photoshop. With additional lights and my new drawing pad it is a lot of fun to play with different brushes and as well even draw parts of it – even if iI really need more practice with that damn pad and pencil. Sometimes It feels even more easy to draw with the computer mouse, even if that sounds ridiculous for those who have more experiences with it.

I always loved strong contrasts. With many of my past pictures I wanted more depth as Second Life had to offer and now finally I found a way how I can do that with some tricks I found in Youtube tutorials. It took a while until they did what I wanted, but for me it was worth the time and I really found new inspiration and motivation with learning new techniques. It felt like unlocking new doors to have more possibilities to achieve what I was looking for a long time. I am still practicing and with every new picture I come closer to what I desire.

I lately was talking to a sweet lady, which I recently feel like a good friend. She does the wonderful sweet and smooth art, which I tried a lot of times but never could do – maybe it just isn’t in me or I did not yet find it… it always feels awkward when I try to do this kind of pictures and moods. She helped me with my tribute for Autumn Rose a lot, as that required exactly that way of art (HERE).

In the past it felt like I would have to have the ability to feature all kind of styles, but the more I turn into my personal favorite direction, the more I feel secure and my pictures do have way more impact  – at least it does feel like that!

I am not saying I will not still try other things, but I took the pressure of myself that I HAVE TO do so. For now I will do enjoy the dark season as much as I can and hope that I can get all my ideas done in time, before the cozy Christmas times will start… or maybe the dark times turn into dark scary “Krismus”? *eyes “The Nightmare before Christmas” DVD over there in the shelf*

Halloween @ Wicca’s Wardrobe

by

Avicula 2

Halloween… maybe my favourite time of the year 😉

The nights become darker and colder. The fog takes over in most of the evenings and bathes the ground in dense fog so that you get the imagination to walk over grey fogs. Very mysterious 🙂

Halloween in the US is way more popular than in Germany, but even over here we have some wild and crazy parties 😉

That gives us the freedom to go wild in SL too and design some crazy outfits for all those Halloween lovers and those who enjoy the season as much as I do 😉

Today I would like to showcase the “Avicularia” outfit, one of our original mesh designs for this years spooky season.

Avicula 5

The dress has high open front, and a long flowing back skirt. The gloves, all the spider attachments and the huge spider web in the back are part of the outfit. The gloves fit the regular avatar and as well we included Slink hands applier for all those who love their mesh Slink hands. To be honest I can’t live without them anymore.

The amazing “Myostola” headpiece is another new release at Wicca’s Wardrobe. The headpiece covers nearly the whole head and with the 2 horns it really makes a strong statement. The headpiece is available in 2 different versions. Once with and once without the spider web and the little spider between the horns. For each of the 3 colors you always will get 2 different pieces per box. with a vice versa color combination like black/grey and grey/black for example.

To complete the look we created the “Grammostola” necklace. The collar is inspired by a spiderweb as well and has one little spider sitting at the front left.

Avicula 4

To add some more to the look we tried to create some matching makeup too. I have to admit, it looked way more easy than it was and I do not see my future in that*giggles.

Anyways, for this outfit I tried to make a spiderweb for the right eye, an eyeliner and lipstick matching to the basic color of the dress.

Sometimes I get asked why some outfits would have such weird names…  so it was for the Avicularia, Myostola and Grammostola. Basically all those names are certain spiders of the bird spider family 😉 With the latin names it kinda sounded so scary and spooky, that I just loved it 😉

And now, I wanna go and find a cool place to hang out with my spooky scary look or maybe jump on one of my best friends, not to mention she suffers quite an arachnophobia*giggles evil*

Scary sexy news by Faster Pussycat

by

Tonight is the night, every Halloween addicted waited for the whole year 😉 Tonight all the creatures will go out for some party or event and show off their wonderful scary and creepy outfits. I chose one of Honey Bender’s latest creations called “Vampira Glamour Gown”.

The outfit is made very delicate and aerial. The deep, rich red matches wonderful the theme of the gown and the lace gives a very sexy touch as well. The huge neck collar adds a very victorian touch. The fabric of the prims gives a wonderful vampiristic look as it looks kinda as you were still the gown of the night you were transformed into a vampire and show it off every night if you leave your coffin ;). If you still search for your Halloween costume for tonight, definitely jump over to the Faster Pussycat Mainstore… you will find what you need 🙂 The perfect finish for me was one of the Bliss Couture “Terror hats” with the big red spider.
