Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Digging Deep

Digging Deep

The road narrows as it rises, carved between rough stone and scrub grass, until it reaches the entrance of the mine. Inside rests the promise of riches, but also danger.

Lore has been creating some really interesting landscaping for roleplay lately and their most recent release at We Love Role-Play is no exception. The set features a mine entrance (with or without doors), mine carts, rails for the cart and of course a pickaxe. I wanted to combine the mine entrance with some Fanatik landscaping that I’ve yet to cover, so I opted for a dirt road leading up to the mine rather than building out the rails. This also makes it look more like an ancient fantasy mine, where you’d be working entirely by hand to haul out your treasures.

My miner is so far looking clean and tidy in his shirt Eamon shirt from Stitched, but it does include dirty and bloody versions as well if you want a more worn and rugged look. The slightly scruffy skin, a SeraPlus gift from Not Found, suits the look perfectly.

Like I said, the landscape is all made up of different releases from Fanatik; cavern, road, rugged rocks, shrubbery and rock walls.  Together they create a believable transition from open terrain to carved rock, with subtle elevation shifts and texture variation that keep the space from feeling flat.

Khara

When I was given the opportunity to show off the new Khara body from Inithium, that also proved an excellent reason for revisiting the Iron Bed from Dutchie (nsfw images in linked post) since both the body and the bed called for a video. In it, I demonstrate the animations in the “Friends” menu of the bed and give you a closer look at Khara, the Inithium hud and the contents of the Khara Starter Pack. You’ll find a couple of additional images as well as the credits below the video.
