Well, the month of June was again a very busy one for me, mostly in Rl, thus allowing a lot less time for my sl adventures. However, I did make time for a very special release; Shapes by ~Aries Celestial Designs~.

This selection was something I have been wanting to branch out into for a long time now, but have previously never gotten around to. As of the original release (yesterday) there are ten shapes. Each one very carefully created so as that the proportions are actually correct, and the lines are smooth.

The first, ~The Celestial~ is actually based on my own av's dimentions. As that I am more a prim artist then anything else, the majority of what I create and sell is attachments. Many of them very delicate. This shape is perfect for wearing every item in the stores straight out of the box. Now, of course given that I am human and do possess an ego of my own, I couldnt' very well have a bunch of me clones running around out there, so while the dimentions are the same, I completely reinvented the face.

The shapes range very nicely in dimentions, from the uber petite China Doll and Anime Angel, to the bodacious Bootilicious and everything in between.

(~The Princess~ Photographed with Kin-Ayako-[black.blonde] hair and Haley 'night&day" skin from Naughty island.)

My personal faveorites would have to be The Celestial (of course), The Seductress, and surprisingly, The Anime Angel.

(~The Bootilicious~Photographed with Felicia black/natural color tips hair by panache, and modified Haley "night & day" skin from naughty island.)

Like the majority of shapes for sale around Sl, the skins and hair are not part of the packages... unlike the majority of shapes found around Sl though, I tried each shape with a slew of different hair and skin styles to be certain they would work well with the variations.

(~The Anime Angel~Photographed with modified Kin Sora hair in pink and Sharn Medium skin.)

Also, in my Osato and Drymonia locations, I started three freebie boxes (to be added to greatly later on); hair, skins and eyes collected from various locations around Sl. (note: not my designs, simply freebies available in world that I thought might be helpful to first time shape buyers.) A few of the skins and eyes I used for the pictures can actually be found in these boxes.

(~The China Doll~Photographed with modified Kin-Tritails-[midnight] hair and Diviant Kitties; lashes-mocha skin.)

These shapes, and all the shapes still to come (including men's) are sold with different permissions then the majority of my work; I have made them modify, copy, no transfer as opposed to my typical modify, no copy, transfer. I did this for a few very simple reasons; firstly, I HATE things thare are no mod.

(~The Girl Next Door~Photographed with *~*Damselfly*~ Bella Blonde Lt hair and Deviant Nations Vogue skin-cashmere (drama queen -slander) skin.)

As mentioned before, I actually won't even buy most things that are not modifiable. This holds doubly true when it comes to shape because loving a face on an av means nothing if you're stuck with boobs the size of watermelons (and that is not your (my) prefference). Secondly, copy was important to be added here so that the purchaser (is that a real word?) could maintain an original copy of the form and play with adjusting on a copy, rather then risk messing up the one and only.

Now, my pre-occupation with Rl this past month has only really allowed time for completing this one project, which is truthfully rather small compared to my usual excessively large releases.

(~The Seductress~Photographed with Bathwater hair in black cherry by Gurl 6 and modified Haley "night&day" skin.)

But fear not... it just means the month of July will be extra full of primy goodness from ~Aries Celestial Designs~. There is a very interesting release coming for early this month, (hopefully within the next week, time willing) involving some of the most complicated prim manipulation I have done yet, as well as a little something I've had brewing for a long time coming.
