I'm still the captain of this ship

Surprisingly, pirates aren't always the most trustworthy crew. Should you find yourself mutineered and marooned, best have a fallback option.

If you can't manage to lash sea turtles together with human hair from your back, Mien's raft pose prop should prove invaluable.

Peqe's coat will keep you warm as the sun drops below the horizon, and every captain must have her hat (this one's from May's Soul). Fight off invaders or harpoon fish with EZ Weaponry's cutlass, while you stomp aboard the deck with boots from Hopscotch.

The hair (super-long, and with a headscarf) comes from Olive, and the pants and gold coloured belt are part of the Bonny outfit from Bite & Claw. Necklaces and top (tinted) are from The.Plastik.

Badass

I love this new pose set from Rack Poses - She's a BadAss Bitch!, coming soon to the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Some of the poses are quite dynamic, like the above jumping pose, and I do appreciate a 'dynamic' pose!  Others are more like traditional stands, check out another two after the jump. Each poses also includes bow, arrow, and/or quiver props. There are six common single poses, and the seventh is a rare double pose.

Also from the upcoming May round of FGC are skin from Bite & Claw, tattoo from Demonic,  boots from Yasum (available in male and female versions), and the Bellona armour from Emo-Tions, which includes arm, hand and chest-pieces.

The dress (or tunic, if you prefer) I'm wearing is one of the new Courtesan Reloaded mesh dresses from The.Plastik.  It's an update of the original clothing-layer and comes in a variety of colourful, space-age and subtle textures. I'm wearing leather in the pictures, check out the full range of on The.Plastik's blog entry or in the mainstore on Growl.

Lastly, the hair is from Tableau Vivant, and you'll find it in the current Pirate edition of  The Fantasy Collective.

The mage

Some more previews from the upcoming Fantasy Gacha Carnival (opening on 1 May).  Love this asymmetric cloak from {aii} - it goes perfectly with this brand new braid hairstyle from Truth also!

The gown is from Circe, and the gacha prizes also include separate mesh sleeves for this gown (or any other sleeveless dresses lurking in your inventory).

The skin is from Bite & Claw. Noeme comes in a range of different tones, with and without scales,  but I've stayed human here with the natural tone. I'm wearing a war paint tattoo from <Kun> on top.

The necklace is the ultra rare Celtic flask from Velvet Whip, while the bracelet is the rare armwrap from Frogstar.  The beaded belt comes from Tiar and is the ultra rare texture change version of the price (the gacha also contains beaded circlets).

New pants from The.Plastik and more from The Fantasy Collective

These mesh pants are new from The.Plastik - they're the Belle jeans. While some of them are traditional five-pocket denim, many aren't. I've borrowed the vendor pic from The.Plastik's blog, and you can see the jeans-y ones have the typical stitching. (For the record, those seem to be Black, Grape, Gunmetal, Vintage and Vivid Blue.)

The ones I'm wearing here are leather - they don't have the jeans styling, but they do have a kind of embossed texture to add interest. For a roleplay look, other colours I'd suggest checking out Blackness, Brocade, Mahogany and Tweedy.

Next time, I am going to try these pants with boots, but for these pictures I'm wearing SYSY's Mary Janes for Slink feet, from The Fantasy Collective. The poses (including sword props) are at the same event (Captivity Co's 'Light Warrior' set) as is the necklace (Distorted Dream's gold Perfumer necklace).

The skin is another from Bite & Claw's gacha at TFC - this time it's Weep, the very cool Ultra-Rare (what I like about this gacha is that the commons are also very desirable, such as the Red skin used in this post).

More from TFC and FGC!

The Fantasy Collective has been open for a couple of days now, hopefully you've had a chance to look in.

The good news - this won't be the last round of TFC after all! Another full round will start on February 20th.

The fabulous coat is from Junbug - I just love the belt, nipped-in waist and swagger to the hips.
The red-lipped skin is another Fleur gacha prize (common! yay!) from Bite & Claw.  Remember, this items are exclusive to the event, so if you don't snap them up now, you'll have to wait at least another 3 months before you can do so.

Some more items from Fantasy Gacha Carnival as well - the Fashun Crowns and Staff from Enfant Terrible and the Elbensoul jewelry from Emo-tions. Both creators are making some amazing jewelry and accessories so if you can't bear the wait till 1 February, why not check out the mainstores instead!

The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow

The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow, and sadly, this mini-round is the last round ever. The items are exclusive, and won't be available outside the event for 3 months.

I've got a bunch of stuff in this post to show you (and more to follow). First off, the skin is from Bite & Claw, and is the rare 'Bare' option from the Fleur gacha. The skins include matching mesh feet and a shape, and you can buy various appliers at the B&C mainstore if required.

The outfit is from On a Lark, and each pack (natural or jewel tones) comes with a hud giving you three fabric colour options, and four metal texture options. I find it fits really well - I didn't bother wearing the included alpha at all.

As for accessories, Keystone have come up with the beautiful 'Bondmaiden's Headpiece', which comes in gold, silver, or a combination of the two metals. (I've worn Silver and Gold x Silver in these pics.) The necklace is the Tory piece from Distorted Dreams, available in gold or silver. Note - you can click the stone in the centre to choose from nine different textures for it.

We Love Role-Play reminder

Another event reminder - We Love Role-Play round 7 is in its final days (fret not, the new round opens on 4 December, and as it's the holiday season there might be some nice surprises...).

Chimeric Fashions (who are new to event as far as I know) have three beautiful masks as their offering. I took the ornate Gatto mask to the obvious location - Vexexia!

The dress is by The Library, bracers and tiara are from GSpot (now rebranding to Enfant Terrible). The necklace, meanwhile, is also a tiara - but copied, reattached and edited to be a necklace. I think it works quite well! It's from Epoque.

The Undying Lands

Round 7 of We Love Role-Play has just opened!

Pictured here is the lovely Magi necklace from Ellabella, in the 'Spiritual' colourway. It's also available in black and green/purple. I think I'm going to go back for that one.

The skin is Elora from Bite & Claw. It includes the elf ears show here, bare feet, and three different tattoos (pictured in this post).

The antlers are another offering from Half-Deer at Enchantment, alongside the poisoned hair comb.

The gown is from The White Armory. Not a Ghost of a Chance is a limited edition, and only available till the end of November. It's a mixture of white and palest greys, and swathed in masses of ethereal ribbons.

We Love Role-Play: Soedara and Bite & Claw

It's almost that time of the month again - time for a new round of We <3 Role-Play! As usual, the event will open on the 4th of November, and you can choose from dozens of items from your favourite fantasy and roleplay creators, all at 25-50% off.

Bite & Claw's Elora skin comes in four tones. This is Lunar, and its the most 'human', the other tones are more fantastical. I especially love the three facial tattoos with the skin - featured in photos after the jump.  They're hugely expressive too - the black tattoo is really quite scary, while one of the red ones looks almost sad. You can seem them in photos after the jump. Also in the box are matching feet and elf ears!

Soedara's outfit is new release Strength of Atikamekw in black is the We<3RP and it will be available for 30% off it's usual price of 450L and it's amazing value for money. The included face-chain alone normally sells for 150L. It's a really special piece too, definitely not something that was done as an afterthought.

We Love Role-Play... with Soedara's new silks and Bite & Claw's Arcane skin!

Celestial Bidadari Nymph in Black humble - at round six of We <3 RP

I'm off to the airport tomorrow morning, so yes... this post is a little bit rushed, but I wanted to give you a quick heads up on some cool stuff coming your way!

Tomorrow sees the opening of the sixth round of We <3 Role-Play , and Soedara have put out a colour (black!) of their latest silks at a 40% discount.

Don't miss this opportunity, as it's one of Soedara's pricier silks, the full price is L$799. However, the outfit can be worn in so many different ways, and there are so many different pieces included (well over 50!). I don't have time to show all the options, luckily Ms Pronovost has included a 'cheat sheet' which I've posted at the end.

The skin I'm wearing is from Bite & Claw - it's called the Arcane skin and features tattoos of glyphs and esoteric symbols. These are on the skin, not on layers. Each pack includes 8 skins - dark or light brown, and four levels of cleavage. Also included are a shape, brows, bare feet (not worn) and Lola's appliers.

The poses are from Musa, who have put out a set of eyeshadows, fantasy poses, and gown poses for this round.
