Schadenfreude Winter Fluffy Foraging Birds

Meet some birds Under the Mistletoe at Collabor88!  Winter is the roundest birb season, with the puffing out feather fluff to stay warm.  Round robins (European, not American- European robins are rounder), chickadees, and mountain bluebirds all snack on berries in the winter to distribute their seeds (and also to, you know, starve less).  Three poses of birds with berries and three poses of birds with branches, with holly or mistletoe- plus 3 mirrors of each.  The pack includes a texture change HUD to choose your type of bird, and both holly and mistletoe- each bird and each plant are also sold separately.  1 LI each at bird size- they are all pretty tiny birds, but even quite a bit larger they stay 1 LI each.

At Collabor88, December 8 until January 6!

For SaNaRae, baby chicks to round out the family with the Chickens! for The Arcade.  The rare Folk chicky baby matches the 25 pull reward for The Arcade- that can only be gotten there this month, so your time is almost out to get her parents!

They can be worn on either hand to carry them around, they can perch all over you, and you can wear them on Avatar Center for them to toddle on around next to you as companions.  They can be rezzed to stand and look around (you can also turn animations off), and to run around a little in a set area.

Find them at this round of SaNaRae!

This year is the year of the Rooster, so to celebrate, I made chickens for the first round this year of The Arcade.  The common chickens, hens and roosters, can be attached to Avatar Center to follow you around, or Right Forearm to carry around.  They can be rezzed on the ground to stand and look around, to sit and look around, or be given a perimeter range to wander around in. The roosters can be told to crow when you desire.  The rare roosters don't wander around- you can wear them and carry them around, your arm high to keep their tail feathers from dragging on the ground too much, or they can stand on their perch and hang out (the perch is a separate object- you can hide or remove it for them to perch on anything else!)

Only at this round of The Arcade, you can get a pair of folk chickens! for 25 plays.  After this month, these chickens will never be seen again.

For The Arcade in March!

Autumn Seasons Story

It's another anniversary round of The Seasons Story!  I made meowls, because everyone is fond of owls (except for Simon Cowel).  They are scripted for you to hold them in your right arm (or perch on it!), or to be worn anywhere else you please with no animation, or to be rezzed (1 Land Impact per owl at the size they start, and they can go a bit larger too before they become more!)  Muerto is a companion owl in a colour scheme to go with the Muerto from ~silentsparrow~'s Spooky Cutie gacha set, and of course Carny, Alle, and Rosa go with various other releases from both of us!

X hair by Clawtooth

Arcade has rolled around again, and this time there are chubby little flightless birds to accompany you- animated kiwi that can stand around, sit, or wander.  You can wear them- on Center, they become follow pets, toddling on the ground next to you.  On Left or Right Hand, you can hold them out, cupping them as they sit and wiggle, or stand on your palm.  They also enjoy perching on Shoulders.  (You can, of course, also attach them to any other point, however they will only remember the positioning for those 5 points when they have been moved from point to point.)

You can also rez them- they will stand around or sit on command, and can also be told to wander around in a set radius.  If you want them to stay perfectly still with no wiggling, they can also be told to do that.  They are mostly very obedient.  Mostly.

Some kiwi have accessories- hats or crowns or wings or mustaches or windup keys- those kiwi are 2 Land Impact.  Naked kiwi (*gasp!*) are 1 Land Impact, you can also trade many (but not quite all!) of the accessories with other kiwi- just make sure you put things in exactly the same place on the new kiwi, and in the same scale!  They will give notecards that tell you more info when you choose that in the dialog.

To be found at The Arcade this month, with so many other amazing goodies as well!

Christmas Ornaments and Gingerbread Men

New ornaments for the wintery season, glass mushrooms to hang on your tree:

And some candles to clip on your tree- they do light up with little flames, but prim trees won't catch fire and burn your house down!

And this year, I finally got around to redoing the glass ornaments including the birds in mesh.  All ornaments are now 1 LI each (unless you scale them too large, and then, well, meshmath is funky like that).

Also, gingerbread men!  There are 3 styles, traditional with mesh icing buttons and cuffs, stitched FrankenGinger men, and a DIY set with and without eyes that lets you make your own icings for it (requires image editing skills- you have to be able to upload transparent textures for an icing overlay).  You can hold them in your mouth, you can hold and eat them, and you can rez a plate that distributes one to hold and eat to anyone.

All to be found in the elephant!

Sparrows

(the three above sparrows are currently only in the uberpack- there are other blue, green, and greyscale sparrows available separately though)

This is a project that I procrastinated on way way too long, little 2 prim (3 prim for animated, though that's only to store the extra frames so there are no loading issues) sparrows- sparrow in the antiquated meaning of small bird, not sparrow-sparrows, necessarily. Though there are a couple of those, too.

The result is 29 colours of sparrow (at least count, and dammit, I'm going to stop counting....though the uberpack does have an updater if I don't), with an array of options: animated sparrows that look around and are silent or chirp, static sparrows that are silent or sing, 3 different foot types for grabbing or standing on different surfaces, and a transfer set of poses to share some sparrow love.  The uberpack has all of the above, though the pose pack comes in copy with texture change sparrows so you can choose which one you would like to pose with.

(awesome squidy pants from The Sea Hole, and adorable necklace from Yummy, both for Collabor88)

20 of the sparrows are available separately (because 20 is overkill, and 29 is really really overkill!) They can be rezzed around your land, but also quite enjoy riding around on your shoulder or head.

And in case you want a place to put your sparrows, empty birdcages. They're another an old project I'm finally pushing out the door, you might recognize the cages from jewelry and a group gift.  Texture change to all my metals, standing and hanging options (and the perch inside is removable, in case you don't want to fill them with birds).

(Thank you hya for letting me abuse your wallpapers <3.  One of the sparrows is bloo, and named Silent Sparrow for hya, because I'm a great huge dork.  Silent Sparrows can also sing, of course.)

And the bonus stump in the uberpack has 2 poses for two sparrows, to choose between.

Sparrows are, of course, at the elephant.

Ornaments!

I have this thing for glass ornaments. I have boxes and boxes of them packed away, and lots and lots of birds (one year I decorated a 7 foot tall Christmas tree primarily with glass birds! I might have a slight obsession...). However, I also have an adorable cat who climbs Christmas trees, so I haven't seen any of them for years.

A few years ago, missing my pretty ornaments rather terribly, I made a bunch of ornaments. I added more this year, and did a bit of tweaking on the old ones (most notably sculpting the clips for the birds, as I finally wrapped my head around a rather clever way to get the shape I needed- so they are 3 fewer prims now). I might even be getting close to as many birds as I have packed up now!

The ornaments are all sculpt and traditional prims (flexi birdy tails)- the tailed bird clip ornaments are 3 prims each, all the rest of the ornaments are 2 prims each, including S swirl hook (I haven't used any of THOSE that I have packed away in years either. The unbreakable ornaments are all wired onto the tree with pipe cleaners, so the cats have to take them apart to get them off. Which they do).

There are 3 different ways to get them.

You can spring for the entire pack, texture change scripted with dialog and HUD, to mix and match metals and glass and feathers however you desire:

You can get transfer singles in the 3 gachas (nowhere near all the possibilities are in there, and each gacha already almost has 100 options in it...):

And you can get colour packs with a selection of ornaments by colour:

The colour packs and the uberpack also come with a mesh broken ornament. The uberpack also comes with a mesh box for storing your ornaments after the seasons.

It's all available out in the elephant! And there's more Christmasy stuff hidden away in the basement.

Put a bird on it!

I've been in a bird mood lately. I shall blame hyasynth for my extended birdiness. These are not even the birds I was working on, but I was annoyed with all the steps I had to go through to get those finished, and creating a silly amount of jewelry mostly from scratch was a welcome distraction. I never said I was smart, or that I didn't hate myself.


(new Fashionably Dead Hair Fair hair; ~silentsparrow~ shirt and socks; Lassitude&Ennui shoes; Schadenfreude skin and eyes; Imperial Elegance, {TERHO}, and Happy Mood poses)

The whole lot of it ended up being kinda...a lot, as I sort of got out of control. So they are divided up into 4 mini sets, as well as there being one big set.



HUD texture change, lots of colour options. Yes, "lots" is a technical term.

Out in the elephant!

Albero Gatcha Festival

There's another gacha festival going on at Albero. I ended up joining a day (or so...) late for this session, but I joined! With plastic flamingoes (I'm gonna make you all start spelling the plural with an e if it kills me. Primarily because I like to say "flaming goes").



There is the traditional pink flamingo (in 2 shades), but they come in 16 colours (because I'm a colour whore), and there are secret hidden rares that are even less traditional. There are 3 styles, head up, head down, and a pair together- each only one prim (though there are secret rares that have an extra prim or two for decoration). A ridiculous copy uberpack of all of them, texture change to not destroy your inventory, is available in Baba Yaga's hut.

Ravens, ears, eyes, hair

Some new things!

One of my cascading releases, as certain things I made to be worn with certain other things (...and just for the ads), because I'm crazy like that.

3 new hairstyles, Branwen, Lethe, and Thomas. The uberpacks, as always, changes with a HUD so you can choose sections to dye as well. Branwen's the one that started this new session of obsessiveness, thanks to hya for suggesting the name that got me on this kick (♥), even if it was evil!

(in the foreground: Curio Elf skin, Scribble ears, ~silentsparrow~ Lysander outfit and oak.acorn.squirrel tattoos, Schadenfreude Tethys raven
in the background: ~silentsparrow~ Gloomy outfit, Scribble Ever After wings, Schadenfreude Langwidere Porcelain Smudged skin
retired Miriel eyes on both)

Lethe's been sitting in my inventory, nameless, for a while. It uses my first hair sculpts, and might actually be the first hair I made with sculpted bits, another one of my infinite A-lines (because that's what I try to get my hair to do, but hairdressers, do they listen? Noooo, they just give me bobs. Most successful I've managed so far was hacking my own hair off one night). I release hairs in chunks because when I get one ready I use the excuse to look through the old ones I haven't let out yet, hence, Lethe finally got textured properly and ready to go.

(in the foreground: ~silentsparrow~ Ritual outfit and goblet, Balderdash Jazz Funeral jeweled bracelet, random things that came up when I searched for "pearl" that I forget what are for the other bracelet and necklace, skin I'm working on, Schadenfreude glitter manicure
in the background: ~silentsparrow~ Chapiteau seanorses corset and Nymphai skirt, Schadenfreude Mer-elf ears and manicure
Beloved Designs eyes on both)

Thomas is Thom's longer and floppier twin brother, who's been intended since before Thom was released, but I hadn't quite gotten myself to finish it.

(Scribble ears and Schadenfreude Electro-spook necklace on her, Electro-spook tank/tee on both, matching Orpheus and Langwidere skins
retired Miriel eyes on both)

These hairstyles are now available only on the Marketplace. 

The raven who made an appearance in the Dusk Vest ad, and his companion who I needed for Branwen:


(Tish hair, Nosfercoat, Geoflake eyes, in progress skin)
Both white and black ravens come in two versions- a shoulder sitting version with curved claws to hold onto your shoulder better (and can of course also be rezzed to perch on braches!), and one with flat feet for standing on flatter surfaces, along with some fluffy bits around his legs.

Finned Mer-elf ears, which I decided I needed for Lethe (which, when I dug it out to retexture it, decided looked like it would be quite suitable for a mermaid). They have a few textures to start (1 pure white shaded texture, and the 8 tones of Langwidere/Orpheus, so it's got a somewhat decent range of natural tones to start tone matching better with tinting from at the moment- and of course most people who are not me wear hair that covers the ears a bit so an exact match isn't usually as required, just close), and of course can be tinted to match your skin better- and I'll be adding more skintones. There is an updater included, so when more tones are added, wear the updater and get the new HUD delivered straight to you!

(~silentsparrow~ Nymphai corset, assorted Balderdash necklaces, layered, Langwidere skins and Geoflake eyes- Mer on large, Sparrow on small)

Ears and ravens are available at the elephant, of course!

And a new special set of geoflake eyes, pale ice blue, with sparrows. These are only available in the attic at silent sparrow- when you teleport into the shop, head upstairs and through one of the doors to the area of fun stuff, including a few other exclusives from hya's friends!

(the ad shows a zoomed in as far as I could manage with SL being wonky with my camera, on just the body part layer eye- no post processing aside from cutting it out, what you see is what you get. And the prim eyes will be yet crisper.)

More Christmasy

A small glass bird to perch upon your shoulder (or head, or wherever one chooses!), touch to colour change, transfer for giving a cute little bit of cheer to a friend.


Glittery tinsel trees, for decorating: they come in a variety of colours, and in a rotating and hue shifting version, with assorted settings you can monkey with.



And a gacha machine, finally! I've been meaning to have a gacha for a while. I've got some of the stuff for it but haven't finished all I was thinking about doing in the first go (I'll probably end up adding more later anyway, but still, I need to start out with something!) This is not the gacha I've been thinking about, this is geared just towards Christmasy, a gacha full of ornaments. The machine itself is a little tree on a post.



The bird is at the gifthaus, the purple Turnip Homes house at the base of the elephant. The trees are at the tree farm on Horst. And there's a gacha both places!
