Unleash Your Beast - The Savage Beast Line!

The holidays have come and gone... and I feel a bit like they ran me over ;) Just before Christmas, I did get the old Neko/Anthro items updated to A4... and actually merged them into a new line: The Savage Beast! This new line has a full assortment of attachments, including Upper & Lower Body Furs so you can Unleash Your Best... without having to cover any of it up!

The Line includes Plain & Jewelled (Style 1) versions of: Ears, Upper & Lower Body Fur, Forearms, Straight & Bushy Tails, Full & Calf-Down Legs & paws! Additionally, I whipped up some Mane-Like Hair (Long & Short for Male and Female), a set of Prim Whiskers, and 4 sets of Tattooes to let you toss some Stripes or Spots over your favorite skin! Everything is available in both Male & Female versions! As a side note, you may want to check out Alia's new Hybrid Skins over at Fallen Gods... as the Furred Hybrids skins go GREAT with the new Savage Beast line!

Right now, this line is only available in-world, though now that I'm recovering from the Holidays, I hope to have it all listed on XStreet soon!

Classic Horns ... Meet A4/Sinteract!

After getting the Warhawk's Tail and Angrumaz Oracle Horns ready, I finally found the inspiration and energy to get into the old inventory and update some oldies but goodies!

Both the Dark Brood Series Demon Horns and the Abyssal Series Demon horns got a full A4/Sinteract! Workover. As popular as some of these have become over the last 2 years, I hope that you all will enjoy the new versions all over again... because the new textures and options bring so many new options to the table that these really are brand new all over again!

These are now loaded into the Demon Horn Vendors and the Multi-Vendors at my stores. They are also available with all of my other items on XStreetSL. If you need to exchange your old Alchemy v2, v2.5, or v3.0 sets for the new A4 sets, drop into either the Main Store or the Mature Satellite and look for the 'Exchange For Free' sign. You can click that sign to get the instructions for submitting your item for update, as well as a list of updated products. There are a few caveats to consider when exchanging your v3.0 Horns though - I've dropped the (somewhat weak) animated texture flames and primative particle effects from the horns in those serieses that had them. I ~may~ possibly add back some nicer particle effects in a future update to those horns.

Wicked Hair & Some New Horns!

Well I finally got that hairstyle I've been wearing for the last 6 months bagged and ready for the store! At the last minute, I decided to tweak it and add a second hair color zone to allow for that two-toned (or skunked) look. I'm pleased with the end result, and hope you will be too. It definitely won't be the last hairstyle I set up for the store!

Oh... it's Sinteract! Loaded, by the way, for your naughty pleasure! I'm sure that some of you will come up with far more interesting emotes than I loaded into this one... but I think you'll agree it's a good start!

Naturally, this is available at my stores (both in the Multi-Vendors and in some new Wicked Hair vendors at the Main Store)... and it is also available on XStreetSL... at least for now ;)

While working on getting that hair ready, I was inspired to create a set of Demon Horns that had some tentacles worked into the array of wickedly twisting ivory and metal! The Angrumax Oracle Horns were born... and they have immediately become one of my new favorites. These will ~definitely~ not be the last set of horns I create with tentacles in the mix!

Get these from the Multi-Vendors or the new Demon Horns Vendors at my stores, or on XStreetSL!

Alchemy 3 Hooves get the A4 Treatment!

All of the old Alchemy 3 furred demon hooves are now available as A4 Items! This includes the Calf-Down, Straight-Leg, and Goat-Leg hooves for both Male & Female avatars. (Note this doesn't include the old Black only non-scripted hooves)

The Male hooves are all the same physical builds, but the Female hooves all got a little tweaking! In particular, the Goat Legs got a little work to make them mesh better and fit a wider range of avatar heights. Combined with some sectioning, these should be easier to fit than ever before. The Calf-Down and Straight hooves for the ladies both got a little trimmer... and, I think, more feminine. Those two sets also come with two sets of foot/hoof attachments now, one of which is the same as the smaller hoof that has always come with the Goat-Legs (and also came on the Black only Calf-Down hooves way back when), and the other is a more flared hoof like the Alchemy 3 hooves came with. I think you ladies will enjoy the changes!

Trials and Tribulations!

Greetings once more! Nearly two months have slipped by with far too much quiet here, but that's about to change! Sinjun and I have both been more than a little under the weather during much of October and November, but we've rounded the bend and I'm back at work! Espect to see new items and a host A4 Updates to the old inventory immediately!

As I begin winding back up, I had an opportunity to do an interview in the premiere edition of First Blood, an new ePub Magazine in SL that services The Hunger community. After some hit & miss with timetables, we finally managed to get together and get it done! It was a unique experience, and one I hope will broaden our community here at Sinful Needs!

Diabolic Crusader & Dragaerian Templar

I definitely enjoyed getting both of these sets ready to go, since they are both something I enjoy earing myself. The Crusader is a set that I started working on last year, but it went on hold when the TP issues went South. Happily, that is no longer an issue!

The Dragaerian Templar set is intended to help flesh out one of the Elder Races that Sinjun & I will be introducing in the upcoming Role Play Lore for Atlan Tu Sura. Think of them as a cross between Dragons & Demons ;)

You can find both sets in-world at my Main Stores & Shoppes, or on XStreetSL (Crusader & Templar (Wings) or Tempar (No Wings)).

Tons of New A4/Sinteract! Items!

It's been 10 days since the last blog entry... and BOY have I been busy! I've gotten some updates done as well as gotten several new items into the store. Let's cover the Updates first:

Following the Dark Temptress & Seducer, I dove in and got the old Fallen Angel and Nihilim Demon Wings updated to A4/Sinteract! The Fallen Angel Wings are now known as the Archai Seraph Wings, and they got a mild aesthetic makeover as well. Where the feathers used to be made of up hollowed, cut spheres, they are now fill spheres, which do a better job of making the wings look full - they aren't so see through from those backside angles anymore. I think you will all be very pleased with them both. I know that I couldn't believe how great either of these classic, all standard prim builds looked with the new textures and new effects! Both of these sets have now joined the Chiroptera Wings in the new Wings Vendors at the Main Stores and a few select locations. You can also find both on XStreetSL if you prefer: Seraph Wings or Nihilm Wings.

Following the wings, I got another set of Horns out there: The Angruma Queen Demon Horns. If it isn't patently obvious, these were originally create for my Beloved Sinjun. They seem to be going over well, and I'm looking forward to doing some more in this vein when I have a chance. I love the interconnected jewelry and the flexi 'chains' hanging down. They are also the second set of Sinful Needs horns to offer 2 different Ivory surfaces (and two different metal surfaces, like the Nihilim Magister Horns did), to give you even more options for customization. You can find these on the grid in any A4 Multi-Vendor, or on XStreetSL.

After the horns, I pushed out 4 A4 Demon Tails, one of which was an update to the old favorite, my Animated Demon Tail (which is now known as the Angrumax Bare Demon Tail ~ XStreetSL Link)! The other three are:

Angrumax Archon Tails: This twin tail is based on the tail I have been wearing with my 'God of Destruction' looking Black Silks. It has some Spines at the base of the tail, which are chained together and harnessed to a spiked 'Collar' at the fork of the tails. I dig it... I believe you will too! (XStreetSL Link)

Angrumax Queen Tail: With jewerly to match the Angrumax Queen Demon Horns up above, it's not hard to figure out this one was whipped up for Sinjun as well. (XStreetSL Link)

Angrumax Bare Tentacle Tail: One tail not enough for you? How about a cluster of EIGHT? *grins* You just have to check it out... I think it's very cool! (XStreetSL Link)

Not done yet? No! Apparently I went insane and jsut couldn't help myself. After the tails, I wanted to get into my hooves... but before I got to work on the regular hooves, I decided it was finally time to add some special Addons to the Dark Temptress and Seducers lines. I actually set up the first of these over a year ago for Razka Blackflag.

It was one of the last times I have time to even consider custom work. So you can blame him for them. I had always intended to get them ready for the store, but once the TP issues started getting bad, I didn't want to start adding more prims to those sets and make things worse. Now that A4 has lifted that burden, it was DEFINITELY time to get them out for everyone. So I whipped up some Hooves to go along with the Paws, and then got a set of both ready for the Temptress as well. I love them, and I hope you will too! These are currently only available on the grid, like all of the subsets of the Temptress/Seducer.

And we're still not quite done! After all that, I felt compelled to take care of the set that has probably been plagued by the TP bug the worst: The Kajira Jewelry Full Set! This is actually one of my favorite items, and is a gorgeous option to silks, which you see perhaps overly much in SL. I was VERY pleased to see how well it behaved post A4 Update. Region Changes are a total non issue now! There was only one thing about the set I didn't like after seeing what all has come out of SL in the period since its initial release: the slave sandals on bare, standard avatar feet. Bleh. Boring! So I set to work with my Sculpt Studio and created some scultped prim bare feet to add as a nice option! The set now comes with the classic style slave sandals, and the new prim feet version. Then... as I was bagging the set for the HippoVend server... it occured to me that there was no collar. Well, no Kajira would be caught without a collar! That's heresy! So I broke out the old Sinful Needs House Slave collar (from the old Dungeon Days back in the Pleasure Palace), and converted it to A4... and then added it to an optional set of the Torso Jewels! Now you have a total of 18 Attachments in that set... with your choice of either set of sandals and either set of torso jewells. Finally, I took the shape I used to create the set, tweaked it a little, and added it as well! I think you'll find that this set is one of the finest, most complete sets of jewelry in all of SL!

It is available in the Multi-vendors, special Kajira Jewelry vendors (where individual pieces and subsets will be available as time permits), and on XStreetSL.
