The Sound'r Blog

More costumes… more golden oldies.

The next scene of Impressions, which was again shot on the Sound’r sim, was all about the windlight, and my favourite outfit at the time – Disturbia, by Winter Moon (who is currently, I’m very sad to say, having an end of business sale. Snap it all up, because her stuff is fantastic!) It went perfectly with a hunt gift skin Tuli had set out called Maya, with black bleeding eyes, and Naoki hair by Kin. The guns were by Breach and the boots – shocking, I know – were Ving Boots by Shiny Things. Further proof, were any needed, that I seldom took those boots off once I’d bought them.

The rose garden we found in the courtyard of a temple that’s sadly no longer there – a shame, as it was a very pretty build. It featured Roewan Silks in crimson by Analise, with Tiana hair by ETD and Belleza‘s Jesse skin.

The pirate scene was shot at Dead Man’s Chest among the ships – a brilliant place to play if you entertain swashbuckling fantasies. The whole outfit was a Halloween special last year by TCKZ, called Bootleg Annie, and is no longer available. I’m wearing it with one of Dutch Touch‘s gorgeous new skins.

Chou Chou is one of my favourite sims for its simple elegance – much like the dress I picked, Darken Bliss by Phoenix Rising, matched with ETD’s Tiana hair again and Laqroki‘s Lacie Glow Skin. Barefoot, of course, while walking through the shallows.

And finally Artilleri, my favourite retro sim and favourite retro clothing. Almost everything shown, apart from the Catalyst Thigh High Boots from The Abyss, came from Artilleri: the Lily skin in Kiss, Sabrina hair in black, Corinne poof dress and Leopard Pants to finish off the look – another of my all-time favourites.

One more set impending…

This video was one of the first Sound’r made, a couple of months ago – we worked with Shelly, Dazz, Aems and Luth to give a proper demonstration of how their fabulous new collaboration ought to be enjoyed.

Well, how we all thought it should be, anyway. The shoot just so happened to coincide with a set of new armour at Monolith, called the Helljumper (available soon in both male and female versions – click the SubscribOMatic if you’d like to be told when it’s released), so we told a little sci-fi tale.

The end result might be dark, moody and meaningful, but filming it certainly wasn’t. We discovered that Shelly cannot run to save her pixel life, and I can’t shoot for toffee when in mouselook (or at any other time, for that matter).

Perhaps those of you with a little more hand/eye coordination might be able to do it more justice – the Crusader outfit, with belt and leg accessory, can be found at Moonshine, and comes in both a male and female version, as space cowboy is a profession of gender equality.

The hair is by Philotic Energy and is called Sloane, and is again unisex, and the poses are part of a set created to complement the look by Reel Poses – if you’re not a fan of gun-toting, there are alternative versions with finger pointing instead.

Why am I bringing this up now? Because we’ve just finished filming a new episode! So many people asked us what happened after the ship blew up that we decided it was only right to finish the story, which prompted us to make a whole series to answer the question… here’s a sneaky screenshot Shelly took on set – watch this space!
