Eln Alter wishes everyone a Happy Halloween with one cool freebie avatar

It's here and you aren't ready for this, the most Not Possible in Real Life day of the year! Eln Alter has come to the rescue with a fabulous sculpted avatar that will be free for a limited time:



Eln Alter: I'm giving away a Witch for Halloween. If you are caught unawares, you can enjoy a good one by teleporting here.

Storytelling with the help of Second Life

Quebecoise Axelia Meili built a story about a little witch around twenty photographs she took in Second Life®, and then post-processed. Axelia wrote the story in French and then translated it to English for the benefit of those who don't parle francais.

"Luna came in my mind just for fun. I was shopping and found her avatar which was not expensive," said Axelia. "Recently I bought this nice elf and I decided to build a story around the pictures. It comes in my head spontanously. The same thing happened when I started to take pictures with Luna."


Luna

"Luna's father was a sorcerer and her mother a human. When she was born, her father asked many fairies to come to protect Luna from bad evils she could get in her."


Luna's story

"He wanted her to avoid the destiny of bad witches. 13 fairies accepted the invitation and gave Luna all nice qualities."


Pirella, la tante de Luna

You can follow Luna's entire story in the correct order by referring to Axelia's slide show here.

Luna's look is accomplished via the "Decent Dolly" avatar, available at Brunehaut's Faeries Shops.

Flea Bussy - Makin' stuff for the love of orks 'n goblins

Flea Bussy: Orks. I adore em. We have funny, clumpy, rough, mean orks. Nobody buys em, and they are dirt cheap for what you get: sounds, AO, tons of parts of armor... 'n they happen to be an older av, though... but they don't sell well. And goblins... um... We're going to be redoing them a ton better now, but we never expect them to do well anyway.

This was Flea Bussy telling me about a newer line of avatars he and the staff have been making since I blogged about him and his much-celebrated Grendel's Children store (teleport directly from here).


There's the Fae Lawyer, available in spring, summer, fall and winter versions...


Open the Fae Lawyer's portfolio and glimpse at the briefs

Flea Bussy: I dunno. I got to thinking that there's a lot of folklore 'n stuff people don't know much about. Everyone knows about the two 'common' dragon looks... the western ones 'n easterns... and Anubis, and so on... So for fun, me 'n the staff been thinking there's so much other lore that isn't touched on.


Bato has an AO that enables you to hang upside down. Ears stand up pertly (as shown) or flop down or sideways, if you prefer

Flea Bussy: Baba Yaga is one I remember from my childhood, hee. I noticed... 'gee, everyone wants to be mages 'n wizards... where's the old style toxicky goopy witch?' I am a bit of a silly one though. I feel bad for everyone who makes those kinds of things, like Baba Yaga or witches as... well... ugly. So I decided to make em look fancy for a change.


Since all the avatars at Grendel's Children are fully modifiable, I wore my own shape, skin and hair with this Baba Yaga avatar

Flea Bussy: Avs have their fads that come 'n go. We ignore most of it 'n do what we like, which is what I think people like about us. We're not, indeed, cashing in on Superman 'n Spiderman and Final Fantasy, etc...


Both Baba Yaga (above) and Murkwitch have AOs that enable all sorts of particle and AO effects


The huds at Grendel's Children just keep getting better and better... and note the super sculpty hat!
