Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Modesty

Modesty

Steam curls around the figure who welcomes you into the baths, wearing a curious attire of a simple wrap and an elaborately wound scarf that veils her hair and trails down to the floor. Her face is not veiled, but even so obscured by intricate chains.

The Roman Bath Sulis from Del-ka Aedilis includes the various steps expected in a Roman bath, from warm water, a steam room and a cold pool. Here, the baths are repurposed for a more fantastical setting. Perhaps the woman is a priestess welcoming you to temple dedicated to a water goddess? Her look is created using four new releases from We Love Role-Play. The minimal Brynna outfit from Glyph is combined with the headscarf and underscarf from Lethologicas Modesty set, which also includes a face veil and several options for how to combine the scarves. In this case, the resulting look is not very modest, but I like the contrast.

Then we have the Flower face chains by Angelicus, a really interesting look combined with the head scarf. I am also using eye applies from lovelysweet, from a very vivid set called Nightbloom Eyes.

Ruling in Comfort

Ruling in Comfort

There’s another season of that dragon show just around the corner, and while I am not particularly enthused about watching it given that they’ve gone so off-book that GRRM said it isn’t his story any longer, I don’t mind playing with the imagery a bit. Libertine’s Iron Bed for WLRP looks far more comfortable than its cousin the Iron Throne and I could totally imagine ruling the realm while lounging in bed in a negligee (a Fantasy Faire release from SoapBerry) and wearing a crown (another WLRP item, this one from Solis).

Also out for We Love Role-Play is the fantastic Illusion Window from the Dreaming Thicket, which comes with a host of nifty settings for making it look as if light is coming in through a stained glass window.  Combined with my further efforts to setup correct lighting for PBR (with a reflection probe enclosing the whole room and an ambient light source), I am very happy with the final result.

Come With Me

Come With Me

“Come with me”, she said as she turned away to walk back down the dim hallway she had come from, bearing a heavy candelabra in one hand and a rolled-up letter in the other.  “You will want to read this.”

Welcome to the June round of We Love Role-Play, where scantily clad maids bearing secret messages is only of many possbilities!

The cute and cheeky top and skirt are by the Muses and I love the Wine colour shown here but it also comes in several other gorgeous colours. The ties on the side are such a perfect detail, very sexy.

The candelabra is by Nocturna Deed and includes a wide range of metal textures, some smooth and new, some tarnished. The letter is from Opifex and it includes a male and a female version with two animations each as well as a texture HUD for changing the colours or making the scroll look dirty or bloody. Finally, the banners are by Tirrany Designs. They include standing and hung versions and different background colours.

The Raven Woman

The Raven Woman

A small settlement near the edge of the woods, and a pale-haired woman in black and red, rumored to understand the speech of birds. Certainly, there is a crow that is often seen with her.

I am in love with the Sunniva gown from Rakshasa. It has such beautiful detailing and so many texture options. You can also choose between long or short sleeves. Here, I went with short to better show off the leather gloves from HopScotch. These are actually for men only, but I think they look pretty good on a woman too, especially if I imagine them as sturdier gloves for handling a raven or perhaps a weapon?

The gown and the gloves are from We Love Role-Play and the same goes for the fence and the buildings, a whole kit from XIV which includes several different buildings. Sturdy and rustic, they make up the perfect foundation for creating a village.
