Back to Nature

Who knows where the evolution will take us? Who knows where it might have taken other civilizations elsewhere, merging and combining with their surroundings instead of taking control over them with tools.

Perhaps there can be a symbiosis between humanoid life and flora, if nowhere else than in our imaginations. Sinking in limb-like roots that allow moving about, skin absorbing alien lights, humanoid hands kept for their usefulness, hearing becoming less vital when the senses are attuned to pollen and pheromones…

I have always enjoyed such moments of trying to envision how life would look like through the eyes of something so alien that their priorities and needs in life differ completely from human. It gives perspective.

Almost all of the alien plant can be acquired from the new round of Genre that focuses on scifi. The skin by Jalwa is not actually green, I just played with windlights. The tentacle outfit by The Stringer Mausoleum went perfectly together with the mask and ear pieces by Spyralle, hair is by Analog Dog and the Biologic Evolution body tattoo by Fallen Gods Inc. completes the look.

Drifting

Perhaps there was an accident, perhaps the ship blew up. Perhaps it was taken over by space pirates and she fled through the air lock. Whatever the reason, there she is: drifting in the silence of space.

Slowly maneuvering in the asteroid field, searching for a place to land before her air supply runs out, swimming in slow motion through the dark ocean of stars.

A mysterious space cave on a small moon with atmosphere and air to breathe is perfect. For now. Who knows what the possible inhabitants of the said moon think of the visitor… better make sure the gear is in good order before exploring further.

Just because sometimes one simply needs to adventure in space. When the mood hits, it’s always a bonus when you can look stunning while doing so.

GALLACTIC has recently released space helmets, ray guns and circuit boots to complete the expanding collection of delicious cyber bodysuits. Much rejoicing was had from all the space adventurers across the grid!  The Purple Stripe skin by Pink Fuel is available in a gacha in The Arcade, although I must say I added more stripeness to it with +Nuuna+’s makeups.

Circuitry

For some avatars that’s what makes them tick. No hearts, no blood, no squishy inconvenient organs, just perfectly manufactured and set up circuitry running the human-replica interface. The ability to come to logical conclusions faster than humans comes with the price of incomplete social abilities, the rules of human interaction always so subconscious context dependant. Thus the awkward wave.

The latex-covered body never needs nourishment nor exercise, simply visits to the maintenance check every now and then. It can even be wrapped in clothing to further mimic humans, although one should still take pride in one’s obvious superiority to the organic matter based lifeforms and reveal one’s circuits for the admiration of others. If one knew how to feel pride, that is.

Both type of outfits, Sheer and Split Circuits are new releases by GALLACTIC. They come in ridiculous amount of colours to fit any sort of cyber-adventurer out there and are so luscious it could make an android weep. Or at least wish they could.

Elyria and Explosion

Elyria is the name of this bodysuit set by Pale Empress: it’s slinky, shiny and sensually shaded. Obviously it could be a lingerie set, but when I saw the shading my mind went immediately to alien places and cyber-adventures.

The explosion part is actually from a skybox by Garden of Dreams. They’ve released several new mesh skyboxes in Showcase line, mainly meant for variously coloured, lit and built picture settings.

The alien adventuress is a mix of Beautiful Freak, Pin Me Down and Fallen Gods Inc. painted on the golden canvas of Glam Affair. The cyberlox are a hunt prize by Alice Project, available in the Sinister Goth Hunt.

To launch a thousand spaceships, all you need is a sublime shading in your bodysuit. Now there just needs to be a futuristic version of the walls of Troy to gaze over…

Future Is Blue

At least if you ask from me. Every time I indulge in anything related to futuristic cyber looks or scifi vibes, I turn to blue. Preferably glowing blue. Thus I also had to turn the HUD to blues in these cyberlox by Alice Project, available in the Costume Ball until November 1st.

The Araneae outfit is by SAKIDE and it’s available in the Perfect Wardrobe until November 3rd. I’d take bodysuits over a lot of current street fashion, to be honest. Perhaps with more pants all around, unless the future comes with sliders for RL.

Of course I had to have blue futuristic sim for the pictures, so when I stumbled from Hangares Liquides to China, I was pleasantly surprised with all the fitting blue plants and surroundings. Obvious casual walk in the future, yesyes.

Ambroise’s Vision

Ambroise goggles are a new release from Zibska and they were so outrageous with all the plumage that my first thought was the Capitol from the Hunger Games. I couldn’t quite pull off Effie though, so I adjusted the look into various darks, letting the goggles and feathers steal the show.

The Plaisance collar that looks like a collection of cubes is also by Zibska and it felt sufficiently cyber to be worn in the future. The top is from an old sale of Miamai’s, but the latex leggings by [ SAKIDE ] are currently available in the Resting Place — Pulse’s Halloween event — if you manage to find them!

I wanted something slightly strange and hinting to the Capitol’s bodymods or at least to more futuristic design to add to the whole, so Grollwerk’s hoof boots it is! Perfect to prance about in while preening in the feathers and watching the world through purple-colored goggles.

Superhero Twins

It was really the first thing I thought of when I saw the new Ethos skins from Fallen Gods Inc. Naked superheroes! Most likely alien superheroes on top of it since the costumes are actually their skins. Born to be heroes! The colour combinations were so much fun to play with that I had to make two and call them twins.

The skins are actually just a single colour with a tattoo layer on top of it. The colours are the four above and you can combine them in any order and preference of your choice. You can also use the tattoo layers with other skins, give a touch of colour to the normal human ones.

I did not have mirrors for these poses, so I used the same pose per picture and flipped the images in photoshop. I also had a lot of fun trying to make the pictures look like they were taken from a superhero comic, too.

Now all they need is a team name and a secret base and they’re all set! No need for a space ship, these two look like they’re perfectly capable of flying through space and surviving.

Luck in Depths

Depth is a new skin by Fallen Gods Inc. and it’s currently in the fortune teller, available for free if you get lucky enough to find your perfect match. There’s usually a crowd during the first days so it should not be too difficult to find one and if folks are flittering elsewhere, a polite inquiry in the group usually brings back plenty of helpful fallens.

Depth is a skin for the creatures of the deep seas or space, the ones you spot only in the corner of your eye before they meld against the dark again. The skin flows between perfect camouflage and iridescent beauty, a part of the dark skies until she blinks her eyes open and glides away.

I set this particular deep space inhabitant indoors of the Space Cave by Garden of Dreams, just to show the dark silhouette and how the blue stands out like glimpses of stars against the sky within. If you ever wanted to swim between stars this is the look to do so in. The prize has skins for both genders and it’s in the fortune teller until 16th September, so go try your luck in Selidor!

Space Bubbles

What else do you call the hilarious vintage scifi space suit helmet that is like a goldfish bowl attached to your head? Except adorable, of course. Or amusing. Or in this case, Hutt Ball. …no, not really. But still, I had more fun taking pictures of trying to catch the damn thing than with it on.

The helmet and the outfit by Rotten Defiance are available in the CHIC part of Vintage Fair in many colour variations, each just 100L, which I thought was practically space robbery. So much fun to be had!

The skin by Glam Affair is in the current Collabor88, I just added an eye stripe makeup by Nuuna’s Skins to it for further cyber vibe. The Fraya hair by :esk-imo: is one of their new releases for the (already ended) Hair Fair, which means that they should now be in the main store for lagless shopping of amazing colour combinations.

The environment is one of the dream scenes by Garden of Dreams. The Space skybox has 219 prims, footprint of 40×40 and has animations and poses perfect for meditating, posing, floating, flying, snuggling or quite-more-than-snuggling in space. There’s also nifty Tai Chi possibilities available in the rocks!

Tekeli-li in Garden

Garden as in a sim of Hair Fair, of course, although now I am envisioning a garden created to fit his mindscape and am greatly entertained by this.  I spent today running around in Tekeli-li’s gorgeous sim and taking pictures of his new releases for the fair. If the inevitable first-day-of-fair lag makes you crash or all the fair sims are full, why not go and explore for a moment? There are rezable boats and hidden caves and wonderful twisted beauty all around!

This Alila-hair was irresistibly fantasy-oriental, speaking of sorceresses and women with lethal decorative pins in their hair. Oh, and also a knife! So convenient. If you are new to Tekeli-li’s hairs, the gems and all the decorations have an impressive variety of colours they can be and you control them with channel-commands. The hairs of course come with notecard details of all the possibilities.

Crystalic was clearly more refined, the classic fantasy lady. When I was playing around with her gem settings, I noticed something new. It’s now possible to set the gems (and only the gems) to fullbright for extra glow when taking fantasy pictures. It obviously can be set off as well for normal gliding about.

Pnom is one of the unisex tentacle-hairs fitting for aliens, demons or other creatures with various tentacles coming out of their head. It also has an eye lens in its decorations, giving it an immediate cyber vibe.

Eibon works for both genders as well, although I tattooed her rather girly here. I love the head tattoos that come with these, although obviously both would work perfectly well with a hairbase if shaved-bald is not your style.

Hsan is a part of the gift packet available in Hair Fair, along with ankh earrings, a tentacle mohawk hairdo and several decorative ankh chests. I’m using a hairbase with it, otherwise it would also reveal a part of the skull like the above unisex ones.

All the hairs are at least partially mesh, so do try the demos! Tekeli-li is located in Garden in Hair Fair. As for getting into the lag: detach all and wear a full body alpha (available in the Library). No prims, no scripts, easy invisible shopping!
