The second in my new futuristic series was created on the last day of September and it’s called Wired. As you can probably tell from those pictures, I’m still learning as I go alone, and in fact, I don’t expect to open my own SL store until the middle of 2009, but that’s part of the fun – seeing how this evolves. Here are the mandatory images:

I started playing with transparencies on this one.

Another thing I want to do is reshape Bluesmoke Hancroft’s body a little. I think she looks a little to unnatural for now.

This Monday, the 29th, I created the first outfit using Bluesmoke Hancroft. It’s the first in a set of similar outfits on a futuristic theme. I’m starting out very simple with a basic set of t-shirt, jacket, trousers and a skirt. Here are some images of this outfit:

“The singularity, a point in the development of intelligent, whether artificial or enhanced human intelligence that would cause the end of humanity as we know it. In fact, the by-product of the singularity would be an intelligence so advanced, that we can’t even imagine what it would be like.”

On the 27th of July, 2006 I entered the magical world of Second Life for the first time. The character of Bluesmoke Hextall was created that very first day and stayed almost the same throughout with minor changes. I like him as he is, with his blue skin and his parrot. He is quite a character, a character you won’t forget if you meet him on the metaverse.

Throughout the past two years, Hextall created Second Life art, had his own gallery, did some musical statues and generally, had more fun then I do in real life. I’ve been thinking of starting a Second life business for some time now, but I was hesitant about the kind of business I would want to run. One of the things I was promoting with Bluesmoke Hextall was my podcasts, so I created a t-shirt of one of my podcasts and dressed him up with it.

In the background, you can see on of my musical statue, Dance of Electricity, also known as “The Big Wheel” sometimes. I also made a blue checkered trouser for him, which you can see more clearly on the following screen capture.

As time went by, I realized I enjoyed creating those little garments for my avatar and that I wanted to explore this further, so on the 26th of September, that is last Friday, I created Bluesmoke Hancroft.

Hancroft is going to be my vehicle to my SL fashion world and this is going to be my blog, following her progress though Hextall might also sneak in from time to time.
