New Monthly Skin Collaboration

Voshie Paine — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:11:46 +0000

A new monthly skin collaboration event is starting next month, where skins will be 85L each. While I’m not a part of it in any way, it seems like an interesting event to get samples of skins from new to you creators, and possibly if your favorites join…then a special skin from your favorite skin creator.

For more information check out their blog, it looks like they are still accepting applications for designers as well.

WTF is wrong with people

Voshie Paine — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:46:49 +0000

Second life is rife with drama and accusations. I have discovered that the skin industry is no exception. Yes, stolen work is serious business, but in no way shape or form should YOU take matters into your hands and start harassing someone who has been accused of theft. For one thing, you are most likely NOT a skin expert, and it’s all conjecture at this point; second, I’ve found out that some brands will accuse others of theft just to break their competition and third, there are SO many templates out there now that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to tell anymore unless they use the template straight outta the box.

IF! you ever run across a skin that reminds you of another creator’s, the ONLY proper recourse of action is to inform the creator and drop an LM on them. NOTHING ELSE. Let the person you informed handle it. They can tell if parts of their work have been used and if they deem it so, they will file the DMCA. We are NOT a court of law, and so let the right people handle it. Only creators are able to file DMCAs, not the general consumer.

To the creators who think it’s a great practice to spread the word that someone is botting you without having filed a DMCA because you know it wouldn’t hold up. WTF do you think you are? Because you make skins and earn a few Ls from it that you are suddenly God? And that you can go around harassing people and organizing lynch mobs? Every time you do something like this, this reflects back on your business, and as more and more see your actions, they will be turned off and stop shopping at your store. If you truly think someone has copybotted your skin, file a DMCA and let LL handle it from there. If the accused counter files, then it’s on YOU to take it to real life court and let the law decide. Not to take it to plurk, groups, flickr etc and start a war against the accused. In the states we have a saying, innocent until proven guilty….often that is not how it really is, in the states or just in life in general.

To those people who get involved in the drama. Make sure you know who you are supporting and that you trust them completely, and actually use your brain and not just take someone’s word for it. Sadly it’s coming to light that false accusations are being thrown around in order to squash competition….so I just say to you to be careful and ask yourself if it’s really necessary for you to get involved.

About myself. No I’m not perfect, yes I’ve made and will continue to make mistakes. I’m a firm believer in the truth and that it should be available to everyone, but I also believe that every story has 3 sides. Does this mean I follow this always? No. As I said I make mistakes, but I can tell you that I do my best. I’m just sick of the amount of CRAP that goes on. Yes there’s real issues but then there’s the manufactured bullshit that I’m tired of. Please, all I ask, myself and others: THINK before leaping into anything. Make sure it’s something that you will be proud of doing, 6 months-5 years from now.

Harassment of any kind is wrong. I don’t care if the people being harassed deserve it or not, it’s wrong, nobody has made us judge and jury. It’s like when Jesus said, “He who is without sin, cast the first stone,” and everyone had to walk away because NO one is without faults.

I get the question often why don’t I have certain creators in the group. No, it doesn’t mean I think they’ve botted or done something wrong. It is an invitation to join the group, if they don’t want to, it is their right to decline said invite. People market their businesses differently and this group might not be the direction they take. Also, just because someone WANTS to join the group doesn’t mean they get in. I have my reasons, and they are personal. More than likely, I will never share them. I know this is gonna come out as sounding like a dictator, but I DON’T have to answer to anybody for the reason why I do things in MY group. However. I will promise one thing, I love this group. I ALWAYS try to have its best interest at heart, and not do anything rash. This group is one of the best and friendliest I have found, and for that I’m proud. And it’s not because of me. It’s because of YOU, the group members that make it so.

If you’ve made it this far in my ramblings…

Chain and Vine: Lael

Liliana Barrs — Mon, 23 May 2011 17:16:54 +0000

Hello again!

You may remember my last post here for Chain and Vine, and today I’m coming back to you with a lovely new skin by Lyric Demina: Lael.

It is a special edition skin for summer, what means it doesn’t come with the normal skintones Chain and Vine skins usually do. To make things more clear, let me quote Lyric herself: “The darkest tone of this skin is the darkest I think a person can be while still claiming to be blonde”. Therefor, it still comes in 7 tones, but they’re more tan than dark at the end (tone 1 = lightest, tone 7 = darkest). The one I’m showing you today is tone 5, an adorable tan tone. With one makeup it has been available as a groupgift recently.

In your box of skins you’ll get some extras: a shape, brow shaper and lashes. The skin itself comes in busty and natural version (you can see busty in the first, natural in the second pic). And then again with dark, light and red brows. Wearing tone 5 I’m always using the dark brow option. Beyond that the makeups feature muted and vivid eyeshadows for you to chose a colorful or more natural look and all of that is painted on the skins directly, so no need to wear a lot of tattoo layers.

crabapple muted | dahlia vivid | jasmine vivid

primrose muted | raintree muted | stargazer vivid

Last but not least I want to show you tone 2 with red brows, because those are a new feature in Chain and Vine skins and haven’t been available before Lael.

raintree vivid

I recommend you to take a closer look at this fantastic skin!
