~The Shapes 2 Collection~

Original Release Date: June 10, 2008

The release date on this one could be a little off, as that it's availability coincides with a HUGE (soon to be announced) event here at ~Aries Celestial Designs~. But let's just say, for the sake of argument, that I get things all finished up according to my personal time schedule. If this is the case, then the first day these shapes are available to the public will indeed be, June 10, 2008.
At any rate, voila!!! 20 new shapes for your shopping pleasure. Ten male, ten female. Once again, please note that the sale is for the shapes only!!!
Being as that I am a sales junkie myself, and that I can't seem to go five minutes without browsing through pages on the SL Exchange website, I have managed to obtain disgusting amounts of goodies. Many of these goodies, I have purchased for the soul purpose of making them available to you, my wonderful costumers. That said, I have put together boxes of these goodies; 1 male box, 1 female box, and have included them along with these new shapes. Both boxes contain a handful of hair, skins, eyes, clothing, and I'm sure the odd other thing here and there. Do with them as you wish; share them, wear them, toss them, it's entirely up to you, but I do hope you enjoy them. The skins, eyes and hair used in the photos for these shapes, are NOT included in the box, except for in a few cases where these items just so happened to be mine to freely redistribute.
Now that we got that out of the way, let me break this down for you a little (as best I can), in case you wish to acquire the exact look on the box.

You'll note that all eyes used in these photos are from Dragonfly... there's an easy explanation for that; Their eyes are the best, I love them and own them all. Visit: DFO Shopping,DragonFly Designs,T, DragonFly Oasis (127, 113, 73)

You'll note that nearly all female hair is from Calico. Again, there is an easy explanation; Their hair is the best and I own a ton of it. Visit: Calico Creations Main Shop, Calico Kitty (124, 70, 35)

Many of the skins and hairs used in these photos came from Gnubies Store. Visit: Powder Mill (121, 142, 34)

And finally, you'll note that there is a little star over the bits and pieces on every male photo, while the female photos all get to go bare. Simple again; the goofy prim penises make me laugh, and the body without them reminds me of a creepy Ken doll. So sorry boys, its a B.Y.O.P. (Bring your own penis) event.

~The Celestial Bodies Collection~

Original Release Date: June 30, 2007

(~The Celestial~Photographed with 'touch it' hair from Gurl 6, and CS Passport -Malibu/brown (Understated) skin.)

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 Vamp~Photographed with Panache ZF-Wild child ponie hair, and *Mis* Goth makeup 2 skin from Midnight city.)

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.

(~The Malibu Barbie~Photographed with modified Faithe Midnight Panache hair in Blonde iced, and Pink Ivory skin by dragonfly designs.)

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.

(~The Little Goth~Photographed with ETD WLSB Collection; Simply Sassy hair in black red and !x2-aa-HFGLBB-Facehighlight_goth skin.)
