Second Life, First Life and the furry persuasion.
Posted 14 years agoJust a quick update for the few of you out there who might be interested. I’m not much around in Second Life anymore. I had a lot of fun in the closed beta for meshes (“real” 3D object use for Second Life) and I was firmly planning on a new and vastly improved series of avatars. I happily learned new skills to be prepared for this: I’m striving for professional level 3D modeling and a lot of other things to reach a new level in my hobby of creating furry 3D characters. With Linden Labs dragging their feet with the release of the mesh feature, I realized how much fun high-end 3D modeling is. Nowadays I spend most of my furry hobby time in Maya, learning and learning and learning.
I might return to Second Life some day, if it survives long enough to release the mesh feature to everybody. In the meantime, I’ll continue to explore how far I can get with high quality 3D. I hope to be able to post some previews of my work soon, first a redesign of my own character, then maybe other ones, too.
It might be a while though: first life takes me around the planet again currently - stressful but fun times. But I'm alive and working harder than ever in what little spare time I have on that whole furry thing which is so silly, and so much fun.

Tigers Released!
Posted 15 years agoMy striped kittehs are now available at the AnthroXtacy Mall and some other places! I decided to "stealth release" them, since currently my busy RL schedule doesn't allow me to attend release parties and such.
For those of you who play Second Life: I hope you'll enjoy them if you should pick one up!
Cheers,

Finally: Lions Release! (2nd of Dec. 2009)
Posted 16 years agoThese oversized kittehs have chewed away much too much of my time this year, but now they're finally as good as I tried them to make.
Release of the lions will be on Wednesday, the 2nd of December (yes, 2009) at the AnthroXtacy Club at 4pm SLT!
Be there for cheaper prices (L$ 1200 instead of the regular L$1500) or win one of the lions we will give away!
See you there, hopefully...

What would you like to see in the lions?
Posted 16 years agoAfter an initially frustrating period work on the lions is humming along nicely. I hope to post a first preview soon.
One thing's for sure already: both genders will get blinking eyes with different eye phases (open, tired, closed, etc.).
Now is the chance to make your voice heard: what else did you miss in the wolves that you'd like to see in the lions? Please post your wishes in a comment to this journal entry.

Back to work
Posted 17 years agoI'm slowly getting back into the building groove. It has been great to slack off for a while, but now my Wacom fingers get itchy again.
I've decided to start working on a lion couple next. It'll be a while until I can show anything, because my job workload is increasing too, but I'll do my best.
Thanks to all of you who purchased my wolves, it's a great feeling to see so many of you enjoying my work!

The Wolves Come Out to Play
Posted 17 years agoToday many months of work come to a close for me: the wolf avatars will finally be released after I've spent the last week hunting down every bug and glitch that I could find.
There'll be three release parties in a row:
- 3pm at The Yiff Factory
- 5pm at AnthroXtacy
- 7pm at Rocket City Fur Meet
(all times PDT)
The wolves will be on offer for L$1200 instead of the regular L$1500 there. At each party, I'll be giving away 3 wolves for contest winners.
So drop by to catch a wolf, or just flail mindlessly to the music and have some plain and simple fun ^.^
See you there, hopefully!

Release Date For The Wolves
Posted 17 years agoTini and I agreed on a release date for the wolf avatars. It'll be Saturday, the 25th of October at ANTHROXTACY, yay! I'm pretty exited, to tell the truth.

Wolf Avatars nearing completion
Posted 17 years agoSo. This journal thingy. Why don't I use it for status updates about my work? Here goes:
Graphically, the wolf and the wolfess are nearly finished. There's a lot of peripheral work to do though, like a HUD and it's according scripts. After all of that works I will do loads and loads of color variations.
As for the availability of my avatars in-world, I'm happy to announce that I'll work with
tinintri of ANTHROXTACY. You'll find my vendors there and at other places in SL where ANTHROXTACY has a presence.
The current release date we're aiming for is somewhere in the first week of October (yes, 2008). I'll post a more definite launch date here as soon as possible.
