Visual Hunt 2012 ~ Malignant Wings

Visual Hunt - Visual Asia: Year of the Dragon
Sponsored by Nihon Ongaku Publishing, Kanzen ni Jrock & Actuate Eden


The Visual Hunt is an Asian culture and fashion hunt, anything 'Visual' whether it be fashion, accessories, builds, skins, etc. Items inspired by the art of Visual or Oshare kei, Lolita and Kadona fashion, Korean B-boy style or even Bollywood! (And everything in between!) Anything popular culture, traditional, or a new exciting mix of both!


We are hoping to bring a new crowd to the stores we invite and spread the love of Asian popular and Visual culture to more of SL.


The hunt will take place in March, from the 1st to the 31st.


This hunt is NOT a freebie hunt. Each item will cost 10L$ and it will be well worth the time and lindens!

We hope you enjoy the Visual Hunt!

Decadence

Decadence was my first outfit not inspired by a real life visual kei outfit or song.  As many people know I have been playing a lot of this game called Jade Dynasty.  In it is this amazing class called the Modo.  They are evil warlock/rogue type of crisscrossed class and their armor is amazing.  I quickly saw visual kei potential in their armor designs and started working.  This outfit is not an exact replica of Modo armor but is heavily influenced by it.  I had a lot of fun creating this one, even if the feather skirt did not want to work with me for a long time.  Since it was so popular over the Halloween Hunt I have decided to bring it back and in 5 colors.  Thank you everyone for loving this creation as much as I do!

Mephisto Horns

These horns were inspired because I have seen so many of my favorite creators making horns, wings, tails, ears and other fantasy type creations.  I noticed some bands such as Born and others sometimes wore horns to go with their attire.  The demon feel really suits the visual kei world and so I decided hey, let's make some visual kei horns!  At first I didnt know what to make but after messing around for a few hours and adding on bits and ends here and there I slowly created these.  In the end I decided to add glowing tintable runes because I have seen the success of such things on horns in other stores and thought I could implament that in my own way somehow.  And whala the Mephisto horns were born.  I really hope everyone enjoys.

 

Each of the 6 color sets comes with three metal options: silver and black, gold and black and black and red.  The runes that run around the horns are tintable and glow.

Visual Makeup for Trap Skins

Ever since the tattoo layer came out I had an idea to make makeup with it...which it seems the world also had this idea as well.  Great minds think alike I guess.  Once I finally found the time to start working on these I came across a lot of challenges. The concept is simple but actually doing it is another thing.  I was trying to match my idol, Selos' art style so I could better make my makeups blend with his skins and it was hard to do.  He is a much more skilled artist then I but I believe I learned a lot from him and how to do makeup from these.  There were so many I wanted to do but I think 18 is more then enough.  I was worried to make too many and then overload people.  I want to give special thanks to Selos, the owner of [][]Trap[][] for putting up with me and teaching me how to be a better artist.

入れ墨の層が行われたとき、私は考えていた。私はそれと化粧を作りたいと思っていました。誰もがこのアイデアを思いつきました。偉大な心は同じように考える。私は課題の多くに出会いました。コンセプトはシンプルです。それをやって別のものです。私は主人公のアートスタイルと一致するようにしようとしていた。IIは、私のメイクは彼のスキンを使用してブレンド作りたいと思っていました。それにして大変だった。彼は私がしてはるかに熟練したアーティストです。私は彼から多くのことを学びました。私はやってみたかった多くあった。私は18で十分だと思います。私はあまりにも多くのように心配していた。私はSelosに特別な感謝をしたい。彼は[][] Trap[][]の所有者である.私と入れて、より良いアーティストになると私に教えてくれてありがとう。

These tattoo layers are ment to match up with [][]Trap[][] Basic, Roco or Vampy skins.  They may work with other skins but it is not a given.

これらの入れ墨層は[][] Trap[][] Basic、RocoまたはVampyスキンとで行くことになっています。彼らは他のスキンで動作する可能性があります。

All versions come with a no lipstick option.

すべてのバージョンは、口紅のオプションが付属しています。

Valete ~ Yu~Ki ~ Malice Mizer

Another outfit from Au Revoir.  When I was watching the PV I thought this outfit design would be perfect for Halloween which was right around the corner at the time.  After having sold it with a skin for the holiday however I wanted to share the love for a long period of time and made it in several colors for all occasions.  I am glad I could find a way to make the sculpted feathers work.  This outfit would have been so glitchy with flexi prims.  It came out nice I think in any event.

「Au Revoir」から別の服。私はビデオを見ていた。私はこの服をハロウィーンに良いと思いました。休日のために販売した後、私はより多くを作りたかったのです。フィットネスエクササイズ今では多くの色を設定します。

Dirty Faith ~ Nega

Dirty Faith was a product of my imagination one day when I was listening to a song of the same name by the band Nega.  For some reason this design popped into my head with the singer, Jin wearing this outfit in some sort of video.  It was rather vivid in my mind.  This was my first time doing an entire outfit from my mind so it was a little difficult but was fun.  The chains were a little hard but I think they came out well.  I hope everyone likeS my first real project.

Dirty Faithは私の想像の産物だった。私はネガの歌を聞いていた。この設計では、私の頭に浮かんだ。私は儿は、ビデオでこの服を着て想像できる。それが私の心に鮮烈でした。ことが困難だったが、楽しかったです。私は、最終製品が好きです。私はみんながすぎることを願っています。

New Halloween Outfits

From October 15th-30th there will be two Halloween outfits availible.  The first is based off of Yu~Ki of Malice Mizer in the PV Au Revior.  For a limited time the outfit will also include a skin, free of charge.  The second is an original design inspired by Nega's song Dirty Fatih.  This is a limited bloody version of the outfit. They are located in the Halloween forest.  Remember, to get there click the trick or treat table

10月15日 - 30日：二ハロウィーンの衣装。第一は、PV Au Reviorのマリスミゼルのゆう〜神起です。肌が含まれています。 2番目のオリジナルデザインです。それはNegaの歌、Dirty Fatih触発されています。これは、血のバージョンです。彼らは、ハロウィーンのフォレスト内に存在する。注意：森に行ってテーブルをクリックします。

Au Revoir ~ Mana ~ Malice Mizer

People have been asking for more dresses since I only have the one.  Again I turned to Mana for a refrence for a dress.  Mana has been done many times in Second Life but I never saw the dress for Au Revoir.  Personally I think it is one of his prettiest.  This build was a little tricky but once I realised I could cheat and use a flower for the skirt it came along pretty smoothly.  The hardest and most tedious part was putting all the roses on the dress.  I thought I would be doing that till I die.  Recoloring them all was difficult too.  Making sure each flower was the right color.  I have no idea what I was thinking when I made this outfit, but I say that a lot don't I?  Modding the hair was also horrible.  I can't make hair very well so I modded one from Sadistic Hacker and I like it, it just took forever.  I worked really hard on this one so I really hope people enjoy it as much as I think they will.

人々は服を選択します。私はソースとしてManaを使用します。 SLで多くのManaドレス。私は「Au Revoir」のドレスを見たことがない。それはとても美しいです。このドレスは少しトリッキーだった。私はスカートの花を使用します。最も難しい部分は、すべてのバラでした。だから多くの。ぬりえは困難もあった。確認はそれぞれ正しい色をした作り。髪はまた大変でした。私は悪い髪を作るにしています。私はSadistic Hackerを編集します。いいですね。/気に入りました。それだけで長い時間がかかりました。私は本当にハードにこれに働いた。

KinetiK Magazine Ad

Yet again time for ads.  This time it is for KinetiK Magazine.  They specilize in alternative fasion designs and styles.  I have even modeled for them, which is cool.  This ad like the list two is using a picture done for me by Kei Kojishi.  This is the one he did of the Ruki Cockroach cosplay.  As before I just threw on the logo, location and credits.

Efflorecence ~ Eye Patches

Yes the item made for the visual hunt is on sale by itself in 7 colors (but not the special visual hunt two tone color).  I decided to make versions to sell because it was so much work to make all the chain, putting together each individual link.  Next time I am using chain sculpts!  I had seen a picture of GPKISM from the Kanzen website and thought their eyepatch design was so amazing I had to make one similar for SL.  I already had roses from making Yami no Kuni no Alice so no worries there.  I just needed to add feathers and the chains.  Finding an apropriate feather design was a bit of a tedious task but I did it and the chains of course were the most tedious thing in the world.  I have quite a bit of repect for jewelry designers that make the links in chained items.  Dispite the chains being a pain I think they came out really nice and I am very proud of this new item from [Actuate Eden].  Below I have also included the picture of GPKISM.

Visual Hunt ~ Efflorecence Special Edition

So it is finally time for the hunt I have been quardenating with Kanzen ni Jrock to help spread the love of the visual culture!  I have created a special color of an item I have been working on inspired by GPKISM.  It is a rose and chains eyepatch!

The Hunt is from July1st-July31st!

Le Vie and EyeBitten Ads

It is that time again to make ads.  This time I am also making some for EyeBitten, an alternative male fasion magazine I was asked to model for.  Unlike the ther ads I did not actualymake the pictues.  I posed from a photographer I admire greatly, Kei Kojishi and he did amazing things with the snashots he took.  Simply stunning work.  I asked him if I could use them for ads and he said as long as he got credit for his work so I said of course and threw text on his pictures and here they are.

Face Gem Decorations

So I decided after seeing no decent face gems in SL that didn't eat your face that I would make some.  They are often seen in visual and oshare kei to decorate the eye area or forhead but I only mad eye ones.  Mini prim hell again especially since each gem is two prims but I am happy they are sculpt so have the right shape.  I made them in several styles for veriety and idot me made like 8 colors.  That was such a pain when I was setting them up in the stores.  I have a whole new level of respect for hair makers or anyone who makes many color selections of anything lol  They seem to be popular.  I sold quite a few the first day and things never sell for me on the first day so I am pretty excited about that.  Maybe I will make head gems soon too.

SLでない運後の顔の宝石は、私はいくつかを作ることにしました。彼らはしばしば、目とおでこの周りに装飾された、ケイvisualで見られている。私は目のものを作りました。ミニプリム地獄再び。私はいくつかのスタイルでそれらを作った。私はカラー8を作りました。それはそれを購入するように設定されている場合、それは迷惑だった。私は多くの色を作る人々に対する尊敬の全く新しいレベルを持っています。彼らは人気があるようです。私はかなりの数の最初の日を売却した。私は、いつか頭の宝石を行います。

Colors / 色：

Visual Face Masks

So this was my first set of original items and I am pretty proud.  When I first started my stores ::Bushido:: and [Actuate Eden] I never thought I would be able to make anything of my own design and would be making cosplay forever.  I learned a lot about original design this time and I am pretty confident I will be making more in the future.  Everyone always said I should be a fasion designer anyway lol  I made a lot of styles because I wanted people to have as many options as possible.  I knew before I said I wasn't going to make anything for a long time and at the time it felt very true but as I laid there there, more and more I was drawn to designing for comfort and thus these were born.  It was a challenge trying to come up with multiple designs people would like but I think I did alright.  I really hope people like them and use them in their outfits.

これは、元の項目の私の最初のセットでした。私は誇りに思っています。私が最初に私の店を始めたとき、私は元の服を作るとは夢にも思いませんでした。今回はオリジナルのデザインについて多くのことを学んだ。私は、今後さらに多くを作ることになりますと確信しています。誰もが常に私が流行っデザイナーするべきだと述べた。私はスタイルの多くを作りました。私はpossibとして多くのオプションを持っている人を望んでいた。それは、人々が希望複数のデザインを思い付くしようとしている挑戦だった。私は大丈夫でしたね。私は本当に彼らのような人々を願って、その衣装でそれらを使用しています。

Kyo ~ Dir en Grey ~ Ain't Afraid to Die

Another outfit inspired by Hentai, the owner of Kanzen ni Jrock.  We were talking one day, about what I  cannot rightly remeber but somehow we came to the topic of Dir en Grey and their song Ain't Afraid to Die.  He expressed to me how that song changed his entire prospective on life and in essence saved him from himself.  The story was so touching I felt compelled at once to make somethig fom the video.  I watched it a great many times before deciding on Kyo.  The fact it was Kyo I decided to do was actually pretty funny since I had been working on Kyo already but the alternate red Myaku outfit which I had put aside to work on hide which then I put aside to do this.  I am a scatter brain, I know.  This outfit was actuactually relatively easy after all the other outfits I have done.  The hardest part was probubly the glasses.  Getting them to look natural on his face was extreemly difficult.  I also ran into a problem while making the skin.  Half way through making it I noticed Kyo had a giant slash across his throat.  How I missed that the first hundred times I will never know.  Well it seems making such a scar right where it should be is a puzzle peice project on the head layer.  There was no way I was going to make it look right so I put it as far up as I could on the neck portion of the chest layer.  I think it looks pretty close and I learned more about making skins.  Another difficult part about the skin was finding what the symbol on Kyo's head was.  His hair is constantly in the way in the video and it drove me crazy.  A friend finally found one poster at high enough resolution that I could see it properly and recreate it for the skin.  I am happy to add Ain't Afraid to Die to the [Acuate Eden] colection and I hope many enjoy it.

もう1つの服Henに触発さ。彼はKanzen ni Jrockの所有者です。私たちは一日話していた。我々はDir en Greyについて話しました。歌についてAin't Afraid to Die話した。彼はその曲は、彼を救ったと言った。それは彼とは異なる人生について考えさせられました。物語はとても感動的だった。私は何か画面よりビデオするために必要と感じた。私はそれを多く見ました。私は京を行うことを決めた。この服は簡単だった。難しい部分はメガネだった。それらを取得する素敵な彼の表情には困難でした。皮膚は、ハードもあった。私は首に傷に気づいた。私は私が知らない逃した方法。私は高として胸層の上に置いた私はできる限り。これは、近くに見えます。スキンについて学ぶ新しいもの。別のハードの部分は、頭の上に象徴でした。ハード彼の髪を見るためには、方法でされました。友人が私にはそれを見てみましょう1ポスターを発見した。私は幸せ[Acuate Eden]コレクションにAin't Afraid to Dieを追加するです。

La Vie d'Innocent Ad ~ Gackt

It is that time again where I must make an ad for Morrigan's magazine La Vie d'Innocent.  I could use the Asagi one I had for the last issue but I don't want readers to become bored with/used to my ads so I have made another.  Slowly I have been trying to recreate the official photos of the real artists in SL and one of them came out so well I had to use it as an ad.  This one is of Gackt while he was a member of Malice Mizer in his promotional video version of the Le Ciel outfit.  I really love how it came out and I hope everyone reading his magazine will too.

それは時間をもう一度La Vie d' Innocentの広告を作ることです。私は浅黄1私は最後の問題のあった使用できます。私はいつも同じになるようにしたくありません。 1つは私が作った写真本当に良いです。私は広告としてそれを使用していた。これはGacktの「Le Ciel」です。私は実際にどのように出てきたが大好きです。私は皆があまりにも願っています。
