Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Winter Ritual

Winter Ritual

Welcome to December with We Love Role-Play. To get you into the Christmas spirit, the sim is beautifully decorated and each store has a special L$50 offer in addition to the usual discounts. 

Loa’s new Frost skin features subtle add-ons of frost on the eyebrows, a pale eyeliner and a pack of blushes. The skin is available in Loa’s usual tones as well as a range of Velour tones, including the celestia and fantasy ones. I opted for Loa’s own Porcelain tone here and paired it with Sublime’s Aurora gown which I gave a white bodice and a grey skirt for more tones of frost and winter. Constraint’s Winter Court Torc (one of the L$50 items) goes well with the off-the shoulder design and the Winter Fae Crown from the same brand is beautiful in Wasabi’s Mistle hair, a new release for Anthem.

Adding a mystical feel is Auro’s Snedronningen staff, with its sphere of ice and crystalline details. It goes well with the scene built by Harshlands’ Tree with Candles and their snowy Yule Rock Offering.

The surrounding forest comes from Fanatik’s newly updated PBR poplars and their matching snowy ferns, with the Oitavos rock clusters adding structure and interest to the ground.

Starlight Muse

Starlight Muse

Wonderous We Love Role-Play has a fantastic birthday round—that means gifts for group members!—to soothe the withdrawal pangs following the end of the Fantasy Faire. From the Muses, a romantic gown with lace adornments on sleeve and bodice. Its sold as a HUD fatpack, allowing you to mix and match the colours applied to sleeves, bodice and skirt. And from new-to-me Montell, a jewellery set that suggests Art Deco influences to me.  Both the dress and the jewellery somehow feel quite at home in the Starlight Villa by Tirrany Designs, an elegant elven structure with soaring arches, tall windows and an integrated fantastical tree.

I added a few things that I had not yet covered from the Fantasy Faire. First, the Flowari accessories from Petrichor, a large set of different orbs and miniature spears, as well as some jewellery. The holdable pieces come with a selection of animations for each and they are texture changed via a HUD. I also added in the Elven Scroll Stand from Harshlands in the background, one of the gifts from the Quest.

Finally, the charming updo with its soft loose strands and casual bun is by Wasabi for Access.

The Baron’s House

The Baron’s House

Yesterday, I turned myself into a man for the day and took a walk around the SL Renaissance Festival. Across the sims dedicated to the event, there are some beautifully atmospheric areas. This one uses custom builds by Harshlands which also are available for purchase in their store at the festival. The one I’ve focused on in the second image is called Baron and is a donation item where the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.

The top half of my outfit is also from the festival, a very elegant long coat from Noble Creations. A shirt peeks out from under it as well and it fitted very nicely over the trousers from ContraptioN.

Trickster

A final look at this month’s round of We Love Role-Play, featuring an intrepid explorer who has come across an enigmatic statue in a cave. But what magic guides our adventurer here, especially as her milky eyes suggest that she does not see in the normal fashion?

Combining items from Harshlands (the statue, which comes in 3 versions and with and without PBR), Senzafine (the Brielle tunic, available in eight colours) and Poema (eye appliers with various eye conditions), with poses from Uzme.
