Girl Power! for Skateboarder K4

 Girl power! for Skateboarder K4

Let your little tomboys express themselves with the Girl Power! texture expansion set for the Kids 4 skateboarders outfit, available at Daz.  Durable and easily washed fabrics are perfect for those rough and tumble moments, while the little touches proclaim to the world that this is more than just an active kid!

This expansion set was made possible with the assistance of the Power Girl group - 5 little girls who are best friends.  Their families call them the Power Girls because when they are all together, they have more energy than the sun.  Each outfit was designed with the personalities of the girls in mind - powerful, yet in some cases, subtle.

Rajiah is the "girliest" in the group, yet she is always up for a good game of tackle the boys!  Whatever you do, however - don't mess up her hair!  The pink camo shows off her feminine warrior qualities; the same qualities that make her an excellent natural leader.

Nadi is as shy and quiet as the butterflies her outfit portrays.  Hers is a very subtle power, and lies more in effecting changes outside the range of the others.  Even something as quiet as a butterfly flapping its wings can cause great changes across the world...

Arona is an artist... or will be when she grows up.  Right now, she simply decorates everything in sight.  Follow a trail of glitter and glue and she's usually at the end of it.  She loves all the colors and even at such a tender age, has already grasped that art can be a powerful tool, and color an emotion-enhancer.

Daisy, like Nadi, tends to be shy, but she'll talk to anyone about plants and gardening.  She's happiest digging in the dirt and chasing her friends with the worms she finds there.  She's really excited, because this year, her mommy said she could have her own area in the yard to grow things in.  Of course, that required a new outfit....

The 5th member of the Girl Power! team is a faerie.  Namaste got in a fight with a little boy faerie and tore one of his wings.  Her punishment was for her wings to be transformed into tiny nubs on her back, and she must live her life this way.  There is hope, however, as they will return to their full glory if she can ever master the path of peaceful power.  Once she does, she must never stray, or she will lose her wings forever.  She has already learned that peace and love will open doors - even those to the human realms - that are locked to others.

--------------
In this pack, you will receive textures for the Shirt, Shorts, Socks, and Shoes that come in the Skateboarder outfit set from Daz.  There are 5 variations: Butterfly Power, Color Power, Flower Power, Peaceful Power, and Power Princess.  Each set has been given individual attention, and has its own bump/spec/disp maps; in several cases, the maps were hand-drawn to give the best possible detail.

Peaceful Power

 The 5th member of the Girl Power! team is... a faerie?

She lost her wings, though.  You see, she got in a fight with a little boy faerie and tore one of his wings.  Her punishment is for her to live life without her wings, as they were transformed into tiny little nubs on her back.  She has to learn the path of peace and master it before they will automatically transform back into their full glory... however, if she ever strays, they will once more vanish.

Butterfly Power! for Girl Power! (Skateboarder K4)

 

Another texture set I'm working on for the Skateboarder outfit for the Kids 4.  Why should the guy get the really cool comfy clothes and the gals be stuck in dresses?  With the texture sets in Girl Power! you'll be able to expand your options, and your little gal will thank you for the feminine touches.

The Burning Store...

CCox's Bookstore, textures adapted/modified/downright changed by me.  I'm rather proud of myself, and can't wait to see how I manage the flames... =D

Anyways, this is in response to the store my SO Manages... it burned the other day.  Not as bad as this image would have you think, but bad enough that although the store was closing its doors in about 6 weeks, they ended up closing for good early. 

Anyways... as a prop, this is actually a nice one to work with.  The textures were simple and easily understood as to what piece went where.  There was also very little actual redundancy in material zones, which is a major annoyance for me.  It did, however, crash and completely swallow my work whole at one point - when I was almost finished.  I took a little break, and 2 hours later, had managed to recreate my work.

Enjoy =D

Flame Wings

Well, yesterday was interesting... I decided I wanted to try my hand at texturing The Wings by Rhiannon - available in the Renderosity Marketplace.  Well worth the $$ as they're pretty versatile and UV mapped decently.  I had to separate out the maps, as UVMapper likes to pile the maps on top of each other, and it makes it more difficult to determine lines.  Thankfully, that IS something I managed to learn in the short UVMapper class I took at LVS.

Then into Photoshop... and while I had originally intended to begin with something Kissmassy... well, things rarely go as I intend them to.  Thankfully... my artwork IS something that I can adapt to change fairly quickly.

So, they ended up being Flame Wings instead LOL.  Complete with Transmap, and they even "glow in the dark" - i.e., remove ALL lighting from the scene and they will STILL show up - just a bit dimmer.  There is, of course, a way to brighten them for those unlit scenes... and a way to dim them for brighter-lit scenes.

This was also my first foray into using the Ambient Occlusion feature in Poser.  I STILL can't find a good definition for this lighting style, but it DOES mimic what happens RL with little effort.

I did do an oopsie, but it turned out lovely... I used a skin that had the AO effect already attached to it (don't ask... don't know HOW you can make a texture do things lighting is supposed to do... but then again, i can make things glow...)  Then, I turned AO on all 5 lights.  The background is also metallic/reflective, but a dark dark DARK grey, as I wanted most of it to vanish in the... well... background LOL.  Picked my size... and 25 hours later, had a beautiful image.

My lighting still didn't turn out QUITE like I wanted, so I ended up doing postwork in Photoshop to lighten up her skin some and give her yellowish highlights (even though I had most of the lights "leaning" to the yellow-red tones, she still ended up looking purple-blue... not cool for such great lookin wings, huh?).  Only SLIGHT work done on the wings, just to enhance what was already present.

I believe I may make this set a freebie, as I am not 100% satisfied with how they turned out - flame-wise anyway.  First as an exclusive to my online family at the Faerie Hollow, and then a couple weeks later, to the general public.

But, I have ideas.... for more wings.  =D  Maybe, if I can be creative enough, I can even break into Rosity's and RDNA's marketplaces.  Danged annoying if you ask me, stupid exclusive merchant clubs is the feeling new merchants get when they get rejected.  At least RDNA was nice enough to explain why Kyleena wasn't accepted.... Promos, mainly.  Seems... my promos lack LIFE, DEPTH, CHARACTER... yeesh.  Looking at most of the ones by others, the only life is in the lighting - most of the characters look terribly bored.

Anyways.. here's Alice 4.0 wearing Whimsy Curls hair (both by Aery Soul), and TheWings from Rhiannon with my texture, as well as Classic Fantasy by Aery Soul.
