Prostate problems, I'd suspect. :(
Been a while since I bared my own shame. I mean, showed one of my outfits. This is an oldie but a goodie.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a small coiled copperhead, a knee-length deep black sharkskin longcoat, a fine white cotton shirt ruffled with lace at the wrists, a crown-shaped black ora band, a pair of slim black sharkskin pants open-laced up the sides, and a pair of tall side-buckled boots.

Lysistrata's outfit for tonight's Eorgina event!

You see Neefa.
She appears to be a Human of the Tehir tribes.
She appears to be youthful and short. She has distinctively tilted, hazy emeraldine eyes and bronzed golden skin. She has long, glassy obsidian black hair with thick, textured bangs forming a sleek line across her forehead. She has an angular face and high cheekbones.
She has a small elliptical design tattooed between her eyebrows.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an antique gold circlet set with black diamond flames, a floor-length sable robe, a lapis blue watered silk dress, a wide black silk belt with long trailing ties, and some ankle-tied lapis and ebon sandals.
Poop. I got Strata all dressed up for the event and then had to miss it due to a friend's ill-timed emotional, over dramatic crisis. At least I got to see the jewelry before it was raffled off, very pretty stuff. Whoever gets it should show it off in an outfit!

You see Aaysia Susperia the Amazon.
She appears to be an Elf.
She appears to be very young and average height. She has silver-flecked grey-green eyes and golden brown skin. She has long, lightly tousled auburn hair that falls in waves down to her waist. She has a delicate face, a button nose and small pointed ears.
She has a tiny diamond stud in the upper ridge of her right ear, a tattooed symbol of Kai on her wrist, and a black diamond tattoo on her waist.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a pale gold full-face mask in her right hand.
She is wearing some filigreed gold chandelier earrings, a rose bengale spidersilk cloak, a deep rose brocade gown patterned with shining golden fleur-de-lis, a gold ring, and a pair of delicate gold-tied slippers.
>l earring
Delicate gold filigree fans out from brilliant ruby settings into an intricate lace-like design. Tiny rubies have been set into the filigree, the petite gems adding color and sparkle to these elaborate earrings.
Aaysia's outfit at the Lumnea ball last night. The earrings, slippers and cloak were borrowed. She felt very out of place and naked without her weapons but Kaillen made her laugh, so it wasn't all bad.
Nice outfit. Much better without the tons of items.
Especially the wagon pendant(sp)
:)
Aaysia
06-25-2006, 03:22 PM
lol she hasn't worn the wagon pendant in forever, doofus :p
Thanks for the compliment though =D
You do know if Shimm'd seen her dressed like that Aaysia would never, ever have heard the end of it.
I was considering going with just a shirt and pants (stylish of course), but couldn't bare to do it. More power to ya!

Outfit from last night's ball. Black/pearl/vaalin theme.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She is taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair swept up into an elaborate knot secured at the back of her head, with tightly coiled ringlets escaping to fall to her waist. She has gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
Her face is concealed by a vaalin and onyx satin mask.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a thin-bladed shadowy black fan in her right hand.
She is wearing an elegant black pearl crane-etched hair-ornament, a delicate black silk wrap, a flowing onyx marbrinus kirtle with vaalin-caged pearls tipping the sleeves, a smooth vaalin signet ring and some slender black leather poulaines.
Mask: Trailing a twining rivulet down the center of the mask's forehead, a vaalin knotwork design unfurls into an ethereal web, barely visible from a distance. Snaring silken threads form six slender wings, three fanning out to each side, the finely spun vaalin's patterns and soft iridescence resemble nothing so much as the veins of dragonfly wings and appear nearly as delicate. The gossamer filaments trail backwards to blend with the wearer's hair or drape down the sides of the mask.
(Mask is based on a picture that I see as representing Lisera with different hair and eye color. http://www.nilandia.com/lisera.jpg)
Kirtle is an unaltered Nalea
Ring: Time has worn away much of the finer details of the engravings upon the ring, but the crest that crowns it remains sharp and clear. Cloisonne enamel brings color to the crest, that of a ruby rose blooming upon an opened black fan.
Poulaines: Fluid lines trace the seams of each shoe, highlighted by fine teardrop piercework. Low heels of glossy ebon mithglin extend the silhouette, further accentuating the tapering pointed toes.

06-26-2006, 09:19 PM
isn't a cotehardie a dress..?
Shari
06-26-2006, 09:27 PM
Mmm...not exactly. Women wear it long like a dress, and men will wear it cut above the thigh like a jacket sorta. Dex has a website that shows what stuff looks like, its in her signature if ya look.
Jolena
06-26-2006, 09:30 PM
A cotehardie was made to be worn by a male and a female, and the styles of the garment were different for each, even if subtly. So yes, it is a form of a dress, however for the genre that GSIV is based in, a male wearing a cotehardie is very fitting.
Aaysia
06-26-2006, 11:39 PM
oh-ho! Alrighty. I still imagine a dress and I looked on Dex's site and didn't see it, so.. uhm.. yeah lol. Tysander's a cross dresser! (j/k)

You see Lord Hammerrhead Crusherson the Fighter.
He appears to be a Giant of the Grot'karesh Clan.
He appears to be young. He has dilated purple eyes and sickly yellow skin. He has spiky, raven-black hair speckled with tiny white flakes of dandruff. He has a lopsided and slightly deformed face, a flattened nose and several crusty, protruding nose hairs. He has a large wad of tobacco stuffed in his lower lip.
He has a tiny moldy bone covered in decaying sinew in the middle of his nose, a tribal Grot'karesh tattoo inked in vivid sanguine that spans his forehead from temple to temple, a small black skull tattoo on his neck, a black chain tattoo on his neck, a tattoo depicting a hammer driving a rusty nail through a bleeding heart on his arm, a small black skull tattoo on his ankle, and a black chain tattoo on his ankle.
He has a scar across his face.
He is holding a dusty liquid filled jar containing a bloodshot eyeball in his right hand.
He is wearing a copper-horned orcish warhelm, some red-tinted spectacles, a pair of heavy copper pauldrons, a shark's tooth earring, a copper Grot'karesh talisman, a bleached crossed bone bowtie, a coppery brown ring, a tasteless khaki-colored greatcloak, a coppery brown rolaren shark, a pair of heavy vruul skin gauntlets set with copper knuckle-spikes, some blackened steel battle chain set with thick steel-spiked vaalin shoulder plates, a coppery brown vultite wall shield, an attacking copper giantman pin, a Warrior Guild Master pin, an ancient Black Wolf armband, a copper-mesh backpack, a corroded copper bracelet adorned with a series of rusted iron studs, a badly scuffed wolf hide sheath trimmed with rotting ironwood, a coppery-mesh spidersilk pouch, some frayed hemp pants, some corroded copper carillons, some gaudy coppery brown jester's bangles, a coppery brown sack with bloodstained runes running down its sides, and some weathered camouflage boots.

Tonight's outfit, starting an exploration in purples, which I've never really worn before. I don't have a purple container, though, so I tried something close. All items except the ring are off the rack.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair swept up into an elaborate knot secured at the back of her head, with tightly coiled ringlets escaping to fall to her waist. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some filligree white gold drop earrings, a crimson silk robe with elaborate cherry blossom embroidery, a dark violet silk gown layered over pale purple underskirts, a spiralled white gold bracelet, a smooth vaalin signet ring, an intricate hip-belt of five braided white gold chains, and some violet silk satin slippers.

Because I've started playing her again, here's my rogue...
You see Lady Jezria.
She appears to be a Human from Torre.
She appears to be young and robust and taller than average. She has chestnut eyes and tanned skin. She has very long, braided black hair loosely styled with an argent vultite-bloom hairjewels scattered throughout.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a malachite-set white lily symbol, a hooded raven spidersilk cloak, a long-sleeved white silk blouse, a back quiver, some vultite dark brigandine armor, a black rolaren mesh sack, a midnight blue silver-swept pouch, a silken midnight blue skirt, and a pair of tall midnight suede boots.
All items are off the shelf, haven't come up with any alters yet for her.
I like the white lily symbol.
mgoddess
06-28-2006, 03:47 PM
I like the white lily symbol.
Thanks. :) It's an Aeia Weatherby symbol.
Since we're all posting up our Nalfein... here's mine! I know, it must come as quite a shock that I have one too.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a sigil-incised bloodjewel choker, a belted soft ivory suede longcoat lined with thick white griffin down, a sleek deep wine-red silk corset, a coraesine and dark bloodjewel ring, a pair of billowy ivory pants fashioned from soft cashmere, and a pair of low-heeled cream suede slippers.
Corset:
The soft matte silk of this corset has been dyed a deep red color so dark it appears almost black. The external steel boning has been darkly laquered, matching the wide black ribbons that lace the corset tightly down the back through carved ruby grommets, reinforcing the curvaceous nature of the garment.
Ring:
Pale ivory coraesine shot through with graceful flowing grey lines forms a thin filigree band. Set in one filigree curl is a glittering bloodjewel, dark and red as its namesake, with a fine carving in its faceted surface. The intaglio is a dainty rose in full bloom engulfed in stylized flames.
Tysander
06-28-2006, 09:37 PM
Mine for the day.

He is in good shape.
He is wearing a dark red viper skin jacket, a high-collared black silk tunic with closely-buttoned cuffs, a burnished pure white gold signet ring, a silver-edged leather sword belt with an eahnor talisman centered on its buckle, some grey linen breeches, and some slouched black leather boots.

I love love love that longcoat. Griffin down must be so snuggly! Also I am really thankful for the fact Strata and Uni almost have matching rings. As soon as I make the 20 outfits to suit it, I'll post it up, because it really is my fave alter. But here is what I'm wearing for sporting trips.
You see Lady Uniana.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to have come of age and shorter than average. She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin. She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets. She has a delicate face and subtly arched eyebrows. Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.
She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pair of long illthorn hairsticks that gently taper to a sharp point, a short-waisted grey marbrinus jacket, a strapless deep plum silk bodice with trailing off-shoulder sleeves, an exquisite illthorn band, a pair of double-weave grey watered silk pants, and a pair of backless watered silk slippers.
Band:
Practically flawless in design, the thick band maintains an immaculate luster, its highly-polished illthorn wood gleaming with a near mirror finish. Set onto the face of the band in a pure platinum setting rests a marquise-cut lilac glimaerstone, the band sculpted around the gem so it remains slightly elevated. Twin channels of rounded pearlescent moonstone stud the band on either end of the face, every movement radiating faint silvery light.
Uni's so pretty! A lot of the stuff at the festival seemed like it was just made for her.
Mmm, illthorn, the sexiest of all woods. 'cept perhaps the wood in Rhavnos's pants when he gets slaughtered. Hard to decide.
HouseofElves
06-29-2006, 03:14 PM
I got an outfit to go with the ring! The best ring evar.
You see Lady Uniana.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to have come of age and shorter than average. She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin. She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets. She has a delicate face and subtly arched eyebrows. Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.
She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some twined dark bloodjewel earrings, a fitted white satin silk jacket, an ivory satin bodice with scarlet-stitched silk roses, an ivory and bloodjewel rose ring, a silk-covered carmine folio case, some loose red silk velvet pants, and a pair of tall leather boots lined in scarlet silk.
Earrings:
Crafted of glimmering bloodjewels, the earrings are swept with jagged, angular patterns of black steel, the intricate setting tracing a labyrinthine pattern across the flawless scarlet facets of the jewel. Encased within the very heart of the jewel is a single rose petal, its pure ivory hues stained a deep crimson by the innumerable incarnadine facets of the bloodjewel.
Case:
The heavy set folio is bound at the spine with a thin length of pale silvery haon, supporting the shape. Dark carmine silk is attached and folded over the cover and back of the case; tiny white vaalorn rivulets keeping the smooth material in place. The center of the cover is painted with ivory ink depicting an exquisitely detailed hawthorn blossom. A wreathe of oval leaves encompasses the flower, their shape appearing almost like veined teardrops.
Ring (was a present from the greatest cousin in Nalfein history and it's awesomely actioned!):
The smoothly carved ivory band sends pallid vine-like tendrils curling over the edges of the bloodjewel rose, impaling the bloom with minute, sharp thorns. Translucent red at the edge of each perfectly realized petal, the bloodjewel's hue darkens to near-black at the heart of the rose, contrasting sharply against the creamy white of the ivory setting. True to its name, the jewel glistens like a drop of blood, vividly realistic in aspect.
Jolena
06-29-2006, 03:27 PM
I really love the earrings and folio. That ring is very nice as well, but the other two are my favorites. Makes me almost wish Jolena went back to her crimson and ivory days.
Tysander
06-29-2006, 11:56 PM
I really like the contrasts with the ivory and reds, Uniana. The outfit works well.
Outfit for tomorrow! The hairsticks and case are new. The case is supposed to be like a high fashion clutch sort of thing. The shows on the stole and bangle have been shown already, I think.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair secured into a spiral knotted bun by a halo of long sharp lor hairsticks. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a rectangular crocodile skin case in her right hand.
She is wearing a feathery ebon basilisk skin stole, an eahnor-swept silver lor bangle, a slender strapless gown of dusk grey chiffon wrapped in a descending spiral, and some low-heeled dark grey silk slippers.
Case:
Dark-stained crocodile skin has been polished and oiled to a glossy finish, glistening over the natural ridges of the hide. An interlocking circle of silver filigree clasps the case shut at the top, hiding a lining of exceptionally plush black velvet. A line of matching silver hooks serves to attach the whole to a belt.

I buckled and made a plat character, just for fun. My first night in, I got this robe done! Woo for more cloth-of-eahnor! I'm hoping to get a prime look-a-like made for Narcissiia. She's not wearing much else, because I can't afford much else, heh! If I continue to play Elissia, I plan on getting her hair changed to black, too.
You see Elissia.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be very young and tall. She has tilted pale grey eyes and ivory skin. She has very long, straight white hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a small nose and slightly upswept pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a trailing cloth-of-eahnor robe belted with a chain of carved jet roses and a pair of black silk slippers.

I was and then I moved in with my boyfriend. For the next three weeks I have to live with him and his parents. Until our apartment gets done.
Anybody who has EVER, EVER had to live with their SO's parents, knows that there needs to be some sort of escape, haha. Since I don't have a car here and can't go places, Mike suggested that I keep playing Gemstone so that I don't go absolutely nuts.. and also to keep me from being mean to him due to stress! So.. at least for a little while longer I'm sticking around.
I saw you get that made, its beautiful.
Gasp! I bet I can guess who you are! And I know it's perfectly obvious who I was too, I bet.

06-30-2006, 03:40 PM
Oh yes..there were some VERY well done Nalfein's in there. And..if you are who I think you are in Plat, my girl wants to gnaw off your arms and beat you with them. :rofl: But..of course I say that in the most LOVERLY kind of way, dahling. :wink:
Ilvane
07-01-2006, 10:40 PM
You see Maralas.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be in the bloom of youth and taller than average. She has beautifully onyx-outlined dark-rimmed pale blue eyes and fair skin. She has waist-length, loosely ringleted crimson hair tumbling down the shoulders with delicate sprigs of perfumed jasmine woven among the curls. She has a delicate face, a thin nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She has a thin-bladed shadowy black fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a velvety soft deep black rose tucked behind one ear, a silver-linked garnet rosebud choker, a floor-length fox fur pelisse, a garnet silk bodice laced with sheer silver ribbons, a silver-piped garnet silk skirt, some silver-sheened white silk stockings, and some slim white diamond slippers with sheer ankle straps.
Anything I should fix?
Pelisse show: look pel
This pelisse has been fashioned from fine black foxfur that has been treated to give it a rich sheen. The inside of the robes have been lined with deep ruched silk. Cut to be long on the arms, the deep sleeves are pulled low enough to cover the wrist of most wearers. At the neck of the pelisse sits a fine vaalin clasp cut in the image of a small fox that has eyes made of fine marquis-cut deep crimson garnet.
Angela

07-01-2006, 10:43 PM
I love that outfit.. my only suggestion for a fix is the slippers.. with so much garnet, diamond is almost random. Black or silver slippers would look good though!
Ilvane
07-01-2006, 10:46 PM
I think black could work, for sure. I wasn't sure about which.:)
Thanks!
I was about to suggest some of those pointed garnet satin slippers that were sold recently but now I don't know.. that might be *too* much garnet, even if it would go with the outfit.
Mighty Nikkisaurus

Yeah I thought of that too, both the slippers and the too much garnet. If it was say.. a black skirt? And the slippers, that'd look good. Or a black bodice. Just one less garnet piece elsewhere.
I think the jasmine woven in the hair and the flower behind the ear is a bit much, too. That's just my opinion though.

Her grey outfit :D oh and pardon the tattoos and piercings.
You see Senja the Incantress.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She appears to be young and taller than average. She has piercing pale silver eyes and softly gleaming, ebon-hued skin. She has very long, braided silver hair worn in elaborate braids sparkling with tiny dragon's-tear diamonds. She has a delicate face, a straight nose and full, naturally cerise-tinted lips.

She is in good shape.
She is wearing a silver linked-hearts locket, a twilight grey cloak, a misty grey bodice, a pair of oval witchwood-framed spectacles with vaalin hinges, an ash grey alchemy satchel adorned with dragonseye sapphires, a silk-threaded black stave harness, an emerald engagement ring, a dark grey alchemy bag, some steel grey trousers, and some charcoal grey leather boots.
I wanted her to be wearing differant shades of grey.. starting with the darkest at her feet and getting lighter towards her head.. as to showcase her dark skin and her pale eyes.

Good news is that once you get it sorted how you want it, you can just do a SORT AUTO REVERSE when you log in and are upside down. That keeps it just as it was when you set it up, instead of rearranging it with the stupid pinworns all over the place. (Hates pinworns too due to sorting)

07-02-2006, 03:23 PM
Oooh I didn't know you could do that.. thanks for that tip!
You see Lady Michiko Lawyk.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She appears to have come of age and is short in stature. She has long-lashed, expressive twilight blue eyes and smooth, creamy skin. She has long, dark honey blonde hair that flows down her back, curling at the tips to brush against her hips. She has a finely contoured aristocratic face, an upturned nose and wide hips. She has petite, upswept ears that taper to delicate points.
She has a series of intricately etched slender silver rings in the ridges of both her ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a striated berry-tinted orchid tucked behind one ear, a silver-caged translucent crystal pendant, a high-collared slim black velvet longcoat flared at the hips, a sleeveless cranberry silk bodice, a pair of low-slung fitted black linen pants, and a pair of slender black silk sandals with delicate wooden heels.
Bodice: Sewn from lustrous cranberry silk, the bodice is cut to fall high on the wearer's hips and then drape to a dramatic point in the front and back. The armholes and high open collar are trimmed with matte black braid, providing a subtle contrast against the hue of the silk. Fastening the garment from the right side of the high collar diagonally across the breast are knotted black silk ties.
I think I want to redo the bodice, but I'm not entirely sure what about it I want to change.

Today's outfit to mark a new path I'm taking Lisera down.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair swept up into an elaborate knot secured at the back of her head, with tightly coiled ringlets escaping to fall to her waist. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers. A flawless dragonsbreath sapphire is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling icy blue sheen across her face.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a vaalin-bladed sapphire satin fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a silver-strand tiered sapphire necklace, a flowing azure silk robe clasped with a stylized waterfall, a glimmering blue satin cotehardie with silver-rimmed pearl and sapphire buttons, a smooth vaalin signet ring, a silver crystal-inset ring, and a pair of jeweled blue silk satin shoes with pointed toes.
Fan: Fanciful engravings swirl along the vaalin blades, linked by a length of satin of sapphire hue. Subtle tone-on-tone embroidery races over the material, the stitching's fine gloss becoming distinguished as it catches the light.
Necklace: A collection of delicate silver chains form the body of this necklace, their lengths becoming gradually longer to fall in concentric circles about the wearer's shoulders. Thin bars of silver radiate outward to anchor the chains in place, keeping them from becoming entangled and letting the piece drape elegantly when worn. Flawless star sapphires are caught in silver settings upon the bars, the stones' colors shading from nearly clear at the inner rings to vibrant blue on the outer edge.
Signet ring has been shown before.
The crystal-inset ring is the type to change eye color, with a custom color.

She is wearing a gold filigree choker fashioned into cascading tiers, a short pale green chainsil pelisson lined with soft fur, a darling pale yellow corset, a gold wedding ring, a dainty white cotton skirt, and a pair of pointed-toe slippers fashioned from pale green silk.
And, even though I didn't play him tonight I still dressed him, so here's Jerrikan's outfit for the brandy and cigars:

Aww, that sucks, I recall really like the alter you had for her eyes! :(
I'll be getting her features altered back to normal, in fact I think Ojos is coming sometime this month. I actually waited a long time to reroll her because I loved her features! And if I can't get her hair through a feature alterer, I'll be able to get it done for the vow-renewal bonding ceremony for Issi and Jerrikan, this fall.
Lysistrata for the EE meeting tonight. This outfit is full of other people's alters! The choker I just bought from someone's shop, can't remember whose, but the cotehardie was Michiko's. Shawl and sandals are off the shelf.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an ornate platinum wire choker strung with diamond beads in a tapering lace-like pattern, a fine grey fleece shawl, a side-laced slim cobalt chainsil cotehardie with pointed sleeves, and some calf-laced cobalt silk sandals.
It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when I see people wearing stuff I designed. :heart:
You see Lady Michiko Lawyk.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She appears to have come of age and is short in stature. She has long-lashed, expressive twilight blue eyes and smooth, creamy skin. She has long, dark honey blonde hair that flows down her back, curling at the tips to brush against her hips. She has a finely contoured aristocratic face, an upturned nose and wide hips. She has petite, upswept ears that taper to delicate points.
She has a series of intricately etched slender silver rings in the ridges of both her ears, and some tattooed stylized wings on her back.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a silver-bladed midnight black fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a velvety soft deep black rose tucked behind one ear, a thin black velvet choker, a knitted dark grey silk shawl, a strapless black gown with a shredded gauze skirt that pales to grey at the hem, and a pair of slender black silk sandals with delicate wooden heels.
Choker: The choker is nothing more than a thumb-wide piece of black velvet designed to be worn snugly around the neck. A single silver hook and eye closure adorns the back, the muted silver nearly disappearing in the embrace of the plush fabric.
Ditto, although I prefer it when they buy my design rather than make their own with the same wording and concept. Been having a problem with that, grr.

He is in good shape.
He is wearing a small dark crystal crown, a midnight-hued watered silk longcoat, a silver-bladed dagger medallion, a twisted black silk bowtie, an argent fleur-de-lis insignia, a black silk bone-buttoned vest, a pale ivory-hued leather thigh-sheath tooled with silvery runes, a mithglin-bound vaalorn buckler inlaid with vaalin runes, a pale ivory elven-crafted satchel, some laje-laced black leather hunts, a twisted obsidian band, a silver threaded pouch, some royal blue velvet trousers, and a pair of sleek bone-buckled boots.
Think it's all store bought, except for the thigh-sheath
Satira
07-08-2006, 01:13 PM
I'd put the bowtie before the medallion, move the thigh-sheath down closer to the trousers, and move the leathers up past the satchel, after the vest.

She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be very young and tall. She has deep-set grey-green eyes and alabaster skin. She has waist length, ringleted auburn hair arranged in an intricately twisted roll at the back of her head and held in place by some silvery winter rose hairjewels. She has a heart-shaped face, an aquiline nose and thin pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a dark ivory hooded suede robe with a narrow silver chain clasp, a sleeveless slashed leather tunic, a soft grey penguin feather, a snow lily, a silver bracelet, some dark azure leather gloves, a silver filigree bracelet, a woven silver frost opal-set ring, a silver-sewn pale spidersilk skirt, and a pair of white velvet half-boots.
She has a bone-buttoned aurnola linen blouse, but can only wear it when the armor is off, which is a pain.
I was thinking this for her: a moonlight silver silk bodice
Thoughts?
Jolena
07-08-2006, 01:57 PM
I would remove the feather and at least one of the bracelets. If you are going to incorporate the azure leather gloves, then I would try to incorporate something similar to the hue elsewhere in your outfit as well. I like the robe, I have one myself, but I think that you are missing the ability to do something really striking with the outfit, by settling with the silver, pale spidersilk and white theme.
Just my two cents.
Satira
07-08-2006, 02:36 PM
I think you could keep the feather and lose the lily if you wanted to also. I like the bodice, but I STRONGLY recommend getting rid of those gloves. They're icky.

She has a slender silver hoop dangling an aquamarine-eyed dolphin in the upper ridge of her left ear, a swimming fish tattoo on her waist, and a cowrie shell tattoo on her ankle.
She is in good shape.

A rainbow of small gems stud the bracelet. Every facet of each gemstone has been carefully cut, lending brilliance to even the tiniest stone.

But I don't know what colors I should get for footwear and bodice or shirt.
Jolena
07-08-2006, 05:51 PM
If you are going for green as the accent color, you could try a green skirt, with perhaps an ivory blouse and perhaps ivory or silver shoes. i'd also look for some type of silver jewelry that features green accents of some kind on it just to provide a more fluid look to it.
For the new EE meeting tonight!

He appears to be young and tiny. He has gold-flecked black eyes and alabaster skin. He has shoulder length, tied back grey-brown hair with a white streak running through it. He has a weathered face, a small nose and a small goatee.
He has an elaborate hourglass tattoo on his arm.
He is holding an eonake veined falchion in his right hand.
He is wearing a hollowed firestone vial etched with a platinum eight-pointed star, a glowing amulet, a shimmering glaesine orb, a flat platinum pin, an ink-black knotwork satchel, an ink-black knotwork rucksack, some black scarlet-laced leathers, an ink-black leather scabbard, an ink-black sacraments bag, and some inky black silver-barbed sandals.
>look fal
A master craftsman has forged this ink-black eonake veined falchion. Etched into the razor sharp blade is the name, "Soul Releaser." The ivory pommel is etched with a miniature hourglass and edged in polished gold sigils. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
>look pin
Scratched on the shiny surface of the pin in a childlike script are the words, "Yew on the floor, all ded and sad, yew see me and I betchew glad! Unfortunatewy, I hab tew say, its gewna be 3k, or yew decay!"
>look satch
The satchel is made of inky-black leather intricately woven together. A detailed hourglass has been tooled into the flap of the satchel, accented with tiny amorphous ivory pieces, intended to give the impression that they are falling through the hourglass. Stamped into the leather beneath the hourglass are the words, "Live this instant as if it were your last, for it very well may be."
>look scab
This thin leather scabbard has been stained a deep ink-black, its seams tightly bound with silver wire. The tip of the scabbard has been capped in pure platinum and an elaborate hourglass is finely etched on the shiny metal.
>look bag
Tailored of the finest watered silk the bag has been dyed a deep ink-black color and lined with a plush black velvet. Designed to hold religious relics and artifacts, the bag is segmented into several smaller velvet lined compartments.
Jolena
07-08-2006, 08:48 PM
I personally think its way too much ink-black. There are many other descriptors for black that could be used. Ebon, Ebony, Midnight, Shadowy, etc.

She has hip-length, rich maple-hued hair loosely styled with some teardrop etched crystal hairjewels scattered throughout. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a tiny single freckle beside her petite button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a crescent moon tattoo on her neck, a tattoo of twinkling stars on her thigh, and a blooming moonflower tattoo on her waist.
She is in good shape.

Narcissiia's first outfit of the next three evenings, for viewing Bardfest.
You see Narcissiia.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be very young and tall. She has tilted green eyes and ivory skin. She has very long, straight golden blonde hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by some ebony hand-painted hairsticks. She has a delicate face, a small nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a velvety soft deep black rose tucked behind one ear, a delicate black silk wrap, a hip-length golden brown lion skin corset tightly cinched with wide tan ribbon, a coiled eahnor viper ring, an antique silver case, a carmine brocade full skirt laced with silky black ribbons, and some black silk pointy-toed slippers.
show on ring:
Delicately crafted from pure crimson eahnor, the band of this small ring is shaped to look like a serpent's body, complete with scale etchings. The body makes a complete loop connecting at the top to a viper head rising up onto the face of the ring, protruding out with its maw wide open and fangs extended to appear as if piercing a small, blooming rose cameo. Two tiny, glittering pieces of despanel are set as eyes for the head, as well as a tiny shard at the end of one fang, imitating a poisonous droplet.

In a black/traveling mood.
You see Stunseed Zrenigotham.
He appears to be a Human.
He appears to be mature and of towering stature for a human. He has piercing golden-flecked deep green eyes and slightly weathered, deeply tanned skin. He has shoulder length, windswept chestnut hair accented by rich golden undertones. He has a strongly-contoured, aristocratic face and broad shoulders. He has a thin line of faint red scar tissue next to his right eye.
He has a silvery moonstone stud in the upper ridge of his left ear.
He is wearing a silver-pinned black cavalier hat, a hooded black leather longcoat fastened to the waist before flaring out and trailing dramatically, a long ebon suede surcoat, a snow white eahnor wedding band, an engraved darkened ora case, some brushed ebon suede pants fettered with a multitude of straps down the legs, and a pair of onyx-buttoned boots.
surcoat:
Thick leather cording laces the surcoat at the neck, fastened at the top with a carved ebonwood toggle. A white modwir tree is emblazoned across the chest of the garment, its branches stretching out like gnarled limbs.
Band and case have been shown before.

show on corset: Rich moire silk has been tailored into a petite strapless corset, perfect for accentuating a tiny waist. Fine silver boning lines the otherwise soft interior, providing adequate support and contour. The back of the corset is laced tightly with smooth satin ribbons that end in an intricate knot.
show on wristlets: Scintillating bloodjewels have been flawlessly linked together to create a trio of slender wristlets. Each teardrop-shaped stone is tinted a translucent red along the edge, darkening to near black at the core.

This is the second outfit for Narcissiia.. I love this outfit, even if I think all of it came off the shelf (except maybe the gloves, I dunno, bought them in a playershop).
You see Narcissiia.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to have come of age and tall. She has a shimmer of gold on her eyelids, tilted green eyes, glossy pale pink full lips, and soft, ivory skin. She has very long, straight golden blonde hair pulled back from her face with a filigreed gold butterfly haircomb. She has a delicate face, a small nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a gold filigree choker fashioned into cascading tiers, a shimmering white fur wrap, some ten-button white kidskin gloves, a pale apricot gown fashioned from fluidly layered silk velvet, a white kidskin purse, and a pair of delicately-pointed glossy white kidskin poulaines.

The show on that corset touches on one of my big pet peeves. Alterations should be written so that either worn or not, they make logical sense as to what you can see and not see. This means that if you can't see something when it's worn, you shouldn't write it into the description. (It's the reverse of standard policy, which says that you can't write body parts into alterations, because when they're off the body, they don't make sense.) So how do I know, when you're wearing that corset, that *inside* is silver boning. I might be able to tell that it's boned, in general, but how do I tell that it's silver?
Don't take it personally, you're far from the only one I've seen who does it.
Mighty Nikkisaurus
07-12-2006, 06:54 PM
I can comment on this, due to a long conversation I remember having in the WD chat with Dex and many others.
In a show, information like that is ok. You wouldn't normally see the show, so it's safe to assume that if you inspected or if someone SHOWED you, the person was moving and that made it possible.
For instance-- the boning could peak out the top, or while that character was showing off her corset, she could be moving to allow the person looking to see that particular feature.
This is the same way that in shows, stockings can be thigh-highs, but it's better to make it more obscure in the tap. This way, when you show someone your stockings, they can pretend your character lifted their skirts or something to better demonstrate that.
Beyond that, there's a certain suspension of belief that comes with everything in the game. If the tap is appropriate, then I see nothing wrong with more indepth shows displaying what you wouldn't normally see at a moments glance.
Kierke
07-12-2006, 07:20 PM
I'll agree with you that the show should reveal more detail than the tap. That's fine.
For a corset, however, in my opinion the only way I'm going to see inside of it to tell the color of the boning is if it's removed from a person's body. It's a corset, it's tight. The fact that it's tight and that it hugs the body is what keeps it from falling down or off altogether. Unless it's falling off, or falling down, I'm not going to see the boning.
Like I said before though, this is a general pet peeve of mine, and goes beyond clothing. It's an opinion.
Mighty Nikkisaurus
07-12-2006, 07:29 PM
I own a corset (in real life, properly made too), hence why my own opinion is that you can see internal boning at the very top, and in the back of it, by looking at the top. *shrug* But, you've already heard all of my opinions on that stuff!
Kierke
07-12-2006, 07:43 PM
I'm an ex-goth, I have more than a passing familiarity with wearing corsets in real-life too. But if you can see the boning on yours, fine. I can't on mine. There's no need for this to turn into a fashionista pissing contest. You have an opinion, I have an opinion, and they're different.

This is Sadryne's outfit for attending tonight's Bardfest.
You see Sadryne Moxwood the Muse.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She appears to be an adult. She has sharply slanted, jade-flecked grey eyes and alabaster skin. She has shoulder-length, shiny black hair that curls under gently and falls in a thick fringe above her eyebrows. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and high cheekbones. She has a naturally carmine, bow-shaped mouth and a diffuse wine-stain birthmark on her neck.
She has a tattooed symbol of Eorgina on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a cabochon-set steel marriage torc, a deep crimson spidersilk gown, an enameled steel signet ring, an enameled steel reliquary, and a pair of spidersilk slippers.
Reliquary, torc and ring have been shown before. The gown is...so hideous that I love it. It even has a typo. It was a gift received around 96/97, and though I've toyed with the idea of fixing it, I can't bear to change it.
gown: Dyed a deep crimson hue, the gown flows like a waterfall and is fashioned to pool at the ankles, resembling spilled blood. A high collar edged with tiny black diamonds reflects an ebony light from within their sharply cut facets. The crushed-velvet bodice is tightly cinched with teardrop-shaped black diamond buttons traveling down the back the gown and along the fitted sleeves. The finished edge of the cathedral-length train is embroidered with an ancient prayer to the Dark Gods.
Whoa, that's quite a train! It's totally over-the-top evil. Lysistrata would love it.

Staying on topic, here's Satira's outfit for today.
You see Satira.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be youthful. She has exotic, aqua-encircled cypress green eyes and smooth lotus white skin. She has extremely long, luxurious henna red hair held in a loose chignon by some gleaming pale moonstone hairpins. She has a naturally blushed nymph-like face and dramatically curved, pointed ears. She has a petite, hourglass figure enhanced by a small waist.
She has a pair of black butterflies inked on her collarbone.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a translucent violet orchid tucked behind one ear, a tailored raw silk cloak, a deep blue sideless gown of layered silk velvet, a gauzy bright purple cotehardie, a collection of slim moonstone bracelets, and a pair of sleek blue-violet poulaines.

I am really loving how the shops at the Lumnis Festival thinger were geared more towards traditional genre clothing. The trend that many of those who post here of having more traditional clothing has a great deal to do with that, I'd say. It's refreshing.
Yeah, I totally agree about it being nice that the clothes were "traditional" according to the racial clothing documents. I hope that stores geared towards other races start coming out soon, too.
Late at night, doin' some shady traveling. Kind of.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair pulled back over one ear with a sleek dark felwood shark barrette. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pair of brilliant black diamond stud earrings, a sharply cut short ebon silk jacket, a hip-length rigid hourglass-shaped black sharkskin corset, a belt of heavy lacquered plaques, a pair of tight black leather pants, and a pair of cuffed ebon suede thigh-boots.

She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be mature and of a peculiarly diminutive stature. She has mismatched cerulean and smaragdine eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, rich maple-hued hair that falls in a mass of thick curls to rest at the small of her back, while a few wispy tendrils frame her face. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a tiny single freckle beside her petite button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a crescent moon tattoo on her neck, and a tattoo of twinkling stars on her thigh.

You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by a set of seven faenor hairsticks. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a silver lor psaltery decorated with delicate gold filigree in her right hand.
She is wearing a sleeveless pelisson fashioned from cloth-of-gold, a low-cut tropical green marbrinus gown with panels of gold-embroidered silk on the skirt, a simple polished gold signet ring, and a pair of pointed-toe slippers fashioned from pale green silk.
Hairsticks: Numerous enough to secure the most intricate of hairstyles, the hairsticks taper to fine points to pass easily through the hair. Each individual stick is comprised of no more than four slender faenor rods that meld together at the thinnest point, the width between them widening as they twist gracefully up toward the carved jade rose capping the end.
Gown is a Nalea original.
Pelisson, ring and slippers are off the rack.
Gretchen
Yez, let tomorrow be the day of oldies! Or something. This gown is way old. Like.. six years? Five years, at the least. The only garment that has lasted anywhere near that long in Lysistrata's closet. Everything else, but the hairsticks, is off the shelf.

She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair swept up into an elaborate knot secured at the back of her head, with tightly coiled ringlets escaping to fall to her waist.

Another outfit. The choker is really new, the hairsticks are only new to me, given by a friend who left the game.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair secured into a spiral knotted bun by a fan of glossy crow feather hairsticks. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a suspended glowbark leaf choker, a deeply-cowled billowy black wool cloak, some trailing perfectly black marbrinus robes with floor-length batwing sleeves, and some black silk pointy-toed slippers.
Hairsticks:
Ten handspan-sized crow feathers glisten in shades of deep blue-black, each smoothed down slightly at the tips of the quills to slide into the hair to hold and tame the locks easily. A thin thread of black wire winds through the quills, binding them together in a half-moon fan shape almost invisibly. The shape is designed to frame the wearer's face in a halo of feathers.
Choker:
A wide band of linked glistening obsidian tiles forms the collar portion of the piece, fastened in the back with a platinum hook-and-chain clasp. Suspended from the lower edge of the choker is a pale glowbark leaf, perfectly preserved with a thin layer of clear lacquer. The delicate tracery of veins across the leaf's surface provides a dark contrast to its ghostly radiance.
The choker commemorates the impromptu show Lord Veythorne gave of the Lighting of the Glowbark.

I have to brag about this mirror which I know I've shown, but its what it DOES that rocks. I know these were sold at some merchant event and I would KILL to get my hands on more:
>open mir

You thumb a hidden latch on an exquisite circular mirror ornamented in jewel-tone mosaic cloisonne and it springs open with an audible *click*.

She has an elegantly sculpted face, a tiny single freckle beside her petite button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a blooming moonflower tattoo on her waist, a tattoo of twinkling stars on her thigh, and a crescent moon tattoo on her neck.

She is wearing a lily-clasped ebon chiffon pelisse, an open-back gown of smoke grey chainsil suspended from a slender silver-clasped obsidian choker, a ruby red eahnor wedding ring, a delicate obsidian beaded anklet, and some silver-threaded slippers.
Pelisse: A cloisonne lily clasp draws the pelisse together at the natural waist, catching the many layers of sheer chiffon before allowing them to fall in graceful repose to the ankle-length hem. Translucent silver threading wends languidly over the garment's edge, nearly lost against the deep, smoky hue of the gauzy silk. A heavier sable silk lines the interior, providing weight to the ethereal garment.
anklet (amulet holder) : Black as a moonless midnight sky, the perfectly sculpted obsidian beads are strung together on a narrow polished silver anklet. Each delicate bead is heavily lacquered and a tiny pewter wisp-of-smoke charm dangles from the middle to accent the ankle.

Tonight's outfit. Don't think I've really worn this gown in public before.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by a set of five polished eahnor hairsticks. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a silver-bladed deep red silk fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a veniom and platinum mesh choker hung with an onyx teardrop, a deep crimson silk stole, a ruby rose-clasped black silk handbag on a slender eahnor chain, a sleek scaled raven silk gown, a delicate eahnor signet ring, a hazy glass ring, and some ebony watered silk slippers.
Hairsticks: Five slender sticks of eahnor allow firm support to any length of hair and taper to a sharp point to pass easily through elaborate styles. Golden thorned vines slither up the length of the eahnor to reach the intricately carved ruby rose cap, gold touching the petals to define each.
Gown: Glistening softly in the available light, a multitude of fine dark opalescent scales sheath the slender gown from low-cut neckline to trailing hem. Twin black velvet straps arch high across the deeply plunging open back, a polished onyx cabochon trailing a fan of delicate platinum chains where they meet.

Ring: Finely polished eahnor keeps its natural crimson hue, worked into an intricate filigree to snare a detailed crest contained within. Inlaid onyx and ruby form the crest, that of a blooming rose upon an open fan.

Evarin's Shira'qa.
You see Merjinia Dyshun.
She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D'ahranal.
She appears to be youthful and shorter than average. She has sparkling violet eyes and lily white skin. She has long, violet-sheened deep black hair that tumbles past her shoulders in languid rivulets. She has a heart-shaped face, a slightly upturned dainty nose and thin-tipped pointed ears. She has pert, naturally claret-hued lips.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a petite violet silk handkerchief embroidered with tiny silver moons and stars in her right hand.
She is wearing a pair of faintly glowing glimaerstone wood violet earrings, a dark-hued vaalin leaf collar, a shimmering silver damask gown, a dainty vaalin linked bracelet, a serpentine twisted vaalin ring, some delicate spidersilk stockings, and a pair of delicate violet-hued glass slippers fastened with tiny filigree silver buckles.

And ... Nilandia for the Veils of the Mist event.
You see Nilandia Liserna the Historian.
She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D'ahranal.
She appears to be youthful and tall. She has softly sparkling, gold-flecked forest green eyes and smooth, creamy white skin. She has long, golden-highlighted, sunset red hair that frames her lithe figure in gentle waves. She has a gentle and delicate face, a slender nose and slightly upswept ears that taper into fine points. She has slender hands with long, soft fingers and gently curving rose-red lips.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some citrine leaf-shaped hairjewels, a transparent silk gauze overrobe, a copper and golden silk bliaut, a gold filigree bracelet split into three curving tendrils, and some copper satin slippers.
Overrobe: Delicately shimmering silk strands have been woven loosely into the fine, nearly transparent gauze which comprises this light and airy garment. The fluidity of the fabric allows the robe to mold the wearer's silhouette, and when the material is in motion, it creates an illusion akin to the appearance of softly falling rain.
(designed after the Sylvan surcoat from the costume docs)
Bliaut: Finely pleated copper silk of a faintly iridescent sheen makes up most of this bliaut. Golden silk edges the neckline before descending down the front and winding about the garment's waist, smoothing the silhouette. Shimmering, couched gold leaves swirl over the garment as if caught on a breeze, collecting at the hem of the skirt and bell sleeves.
Thanks for the compliments on the hairsticks, guys! I love them, too. They go so well with so much.

For Whillow's wedding and for the Veils of the Mist event tonight
You see Satira.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be youthful. She has exotic, aqua-encircled cypress green eyes and smooth lotus white skin. She has extremely long, luxurious henna red hair tinted with warm copper undertones. She has a naturally blushed nymph-like face and dramatically curved, pointed ears. She has a petite, hourglass figure enhanced by a small waist.
She has a pair of black butterflies inked on her collarbone.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a flawless pure white moonflower tucked behind one ear, a three-tiered silvery stone choker, a tailored raw silk cloak, a high-collared jade green silk bliaut with an ivory chainsil underskirt, a silvery mithril ring, and some pale jade criss-cross tie sandals.

Just a new outfit for Issi.. all off-the-shelf, and from playershops.
You see Narcissiia.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to have come of age and tall. She has tilted green eyes and ivory skin. She has very long, straight golden blonde hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a small nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pale lavender blue winter rose tucked behind one ear, an antique silver case, a membranous silvery violet robe, a dark violet silk gown layered over pale purple underskirts, a gleaming blue peridot signet-ring, and a pair of delicately-pointed glossy white kidskin poulaines.

I'm going to contribute to the overkill! This isn't Lysistrata... it's my "break" character. In lieu of taking a break from GS (can't.. addicted, damnit, and I have responsibilities) I'm playing a completely new character.
You see a person.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf. (Duh. I am stuck in the Nalfein rut.)
She has some features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pair of cascading diamond chandelier earrings, a trailing black suede lady's longcoat bound at the hips with a slanted belt, a pale-veined storm grey marbrinus cotehardie with a high-collared keyhole neckline, and a pair of low-heeled dark grey silk slippers.

I guess I'm in the minority, because it didn't seem to me like an overkill by any means. I've posted a few more outfits recently than I normally do, but I normally post my outfit for an event or meeting, and then sometimes just some random outfit that I truly like that Jo's wearing.

I finally got my cleric dressed out of the generic crap she was given. Though, Ent is now broke :yes:
You see XXX the Crusader.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae'ni Clan.
She appears to be very young and shorter than average. She has large dark sea green eyes and freckled skin. She has chin length, thick golden blonde hair. She has an oval face and high cheekbones. She has a pair of silvery wings.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a tight cerulean rosebud with ash grey-tipped petals, a crystal amulet, a deep slate grey arabesque cloak, a misty grey bodice, a delicate pink dreamstone band, a loosely-woven red cotton pouch, a leather sheath, a rose pink velvet skirt, and a pair of embroidered slippers.
I still need to work on the sheath and pouch, but she's coming along nicely. Cloak is under 2 pounds, which was awesome.

She appears to have come of age and tall. She has tilted green eyes and ivory skin. She has very long, straight golden blonde hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a small nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some thin black ivory hairsticks painted with silver swirls, a short black suede jacket, a faenor-buckled plum satin corset decorated with swirls of iridescent black beading around the hem, a cylindrical etched silver vasculum, a pristine ivory brocade skirt with a layered plum tulle underskirt, and some black silk pointy-toed slippers.
Show on the vasculum:
Made of smooth silver, the body of this cylindrical case features a filigree-hooked length-wise flap as the only opening. Lining the inside of the bottom is a strip of thick white velvet, stopping just short of a latch securing the opening of a seperated compartment large enough to hold a few cubes of ice. A square silver plate etched with a blooming rose is affixed to one flat side next to a fettered end of the soft pale black suede shoulder strap.
I reeeeaaally like that corset and vasculum. She looks great!
Even though I'm taking a break from Lysistrata, for the most part, I decided to at least hunt through her XXX and, of course, that called for changing her outfit. Here we are, rockin' the pseudo-masculine feminine chic:
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by a set of petite black lacquered hairpins. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a midnight black suede fedora, a trailing black velvet longcoat with a framing flared stand-up collar, a fine white cotton shirt ruffled with lace at the wrists, a crown-shaped black ora band, a pair of soft black suede pants, and some sharp-toed shiny black boots.
Band:
It is a thin band of smooth black ora with a brushed finish, shaped like a miniature crown. Many long, sharp tines ring the top of the crown with a faintly discolored sheen at the tips that gives the ring a sinister appearance.

I didn't know women could wear fedoras.

Yeah I wear leathers and a cloak in RL. I can teach you fashion Olanan.
Fedoras are hardly comparable to leathers and a cloak! Personally, I don't know why anyone would want a cloak. They can be indescribably heavy and they get in the way of sudden movements. Pfft.
Don't you get it? You can hide halfling females under there.

You see xxxxx the Tracker.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has sultry blue-green eyes and tanned skin. She has very long, thick platinum hair held in a loose chignon by some twisted platinum hairsticks. She has a dainty face, an upturned nose and tucked pointed ears.
She has a black chain tattoo on her waist.
She is in good shape
She is wearing a gold-bound dark crystal pendant, a raven-hued spidersilk cloak, a shining golden invar bodice inset with amethyst roses, a gold and silver sunstone bracelet, some pale golden leathers, a golden spidersilk skirt, some black spidersilk stockings, and some thigh-high black leather boots.
I deeply resent the fact that the otherwise naturally pretty invar has been dyed a mundane gold by whatever GM made the thing. Honestly, if they wanted gold, they could have used imflass!
Heh, other than one of my numerous pet peeves that has absolutely nothing to do with your Nalfein's outfit, it looks good. Might try working some amethyst in instead of the IFW bracelet.

I owned a cloak at one point in time >.> And I'd own one again, mwahaha. Then again, I've also owned a bliaut. And, that black ora ring is uber evil. Strata needs to wear it more, haha!
To Ilvane:
A few things I'd change myself, is I'd get rid of those hairsticks. They're platinum and you already have a bunch of other metal names, so it just makes it confusing/non-cohesive. Maybe some of the ebony hand-painted ones would work instead? I'd also look into getting a piece of amethyst jewelry instead of the sunstone (like Dex said) and I'd also look into ditching the stockings. Generally, if a character isn't wearing shoes (slippers, or shoes, or sandals) but boots, I know I always imagine the skirt to be short, since that's the only way I could see the stockings. Kind of makes for a strange mental image, heh! Of course, that's sort of just a weird quirk of mine, so take it with a grain of salt.
Beyond those little things, I like it.

An outfit I had made for Jolena over the last 4 or 5 months, but have not worn yet. It still has a few pieces missing for it, so I compromised and added some things I already have. I still like its overall look though.
You see Jolena.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be mature and of a peculiarly diminutive stature. She has mismatched cerulean and smaragdine eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, rich maple-hued hair that falls in a mass of thick curls to rest at the small of her back, while a few wispy tendrils frame her face. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a tiny single freckle beside her petite button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a blooming moonflower tattoo on her waist, and a crescent moon tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a flawless pure white moonflower tucked behind one ear, a misty grey pale gossamer cloak trailing wispy tendrils, a scoop-necked sage silk blouse with pale grey beadwork along the hem, a ruby red eahnor wedding ring, a hazy glass ring, a crushed silk sack, some pale grey chiffon trousers, and some backless sheer silk sandals.
trousers: Airy chiffon dyed a pale, almost translucent grey is lined with a layer of sage satin to give the fabric a multi-hued appearance. Loose by design, the garment falls elegantly from the low-slung waist which features a built-in braided white satin belt. The tapered pant legs tie around the outside of the ankle with removable thin strips of satin ribbon.
*The pieces I am having made to go with it, for the complete outfit are these:
A high-collared ivory chainsil jacket: Dual slits grace either side to create a flare against the hips and a small pleat embellishes the back. Featuring dark sage stitching along the seams, the jacket is embroidered with a blended pattern of modwir leaves in translucent threading upon the collar. Three silver looped frog-clasps adorn the linen from the middle of the chest to just above the hip-length hem.
An elegant choker of pearls interspersed with teardrop-shaped peridots
Some ivory sandals supported by narrow mistwood heels

Just had to show off my Plat ranger's new tattoo, I got tonight. The outfit has been seen.
a small black tattooed mark on her shoulder:
Scarred tissue, filled with a deep black ink, provides a macabre frame for a dark crimson teardrop. Ash grey highlights have been drained into the ebon black ink, creating shadows and depth to further the image of a brand against her skin. A small scar runs a jagged curve around the teardrop, giving an eerie coral highlight to the crimson hue, while a slender chain of black links holds the teardrop captive within its scarred prison.
:heart: it so much.

Didn't you guys hear....shadowy black is this year's "In". Maybe it just fits an evil Luukosian warrior...i dunno.
You see Raidek Tamond the Destroyer.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He is shorter than average. He has piercing dark-rimmed pale green eyes and soft, unblemished very pale skin. He has long, jagged cut jet black hair streaked with red at the tips. He has sharp pointed ears.
His face is concealed by a shadowy black mask.
He has a chaotic pattern of asymmetrical markings inked along every inch of flesh.
He is wearing a shadowy black slashed velvet pouch, a pitch black spidersilk pack, a tattered Faendryl warcloak, some shadowy black armor, and a shadowy black helm.

This elven-made warcloak has softened with age, even though it is a bit tattered. The soft supple leather is radiant with a polished gleam proving a well loved artifact. Upon the back of the warcloak is a stylized emblem of the Ta'Faendryl, which has been viciously slashed in an attempt to disgrace the house.
This was my very first alteration...since Raidek's backhistory was in the Faendryl military. Then after I got betrayed by Faendryl a few months ago, Raidek slashed the cloak.

"Upon the back of the warcloak is a stylized emblem of the Ta'Faendryl, which has been viciously slashed in an attempt to disgrace the house."
This makes the Faendryl-player in me want to cry. Not because I <3 the Faendryl and someone is disgracing them but because.. that alteration probably belongs in the wrong thread. O_o

Because you can't look at something and know the intent behind something on it, ESPECIALLY things like slashes.
My human would likely look at a Faendryl wearing a cloak with a Faendryl crest on the back, see the slashes and think, "Oh, he must have been slashed in battle or in thorns."
She wouldn't be like, OH those slashes are intended to disgrace house faendryl!
Beyond that, I'm not a whole fan of the warcloak thing. I still don't know the difference between a warcloak and a normal cloak. It goes in with my "Show- don't tell policy" of clothing alterations.
Jolena
07-31-2006, 03:13 PM
I can agree with your stance on the issue of forcing another to know the intentions. However, I do think that the difference between a warcloak and a cloak should be pretty obvious to others because in my opinion, the style of a 'warcloak' is different than the style of a 'cloak'. It is made differently in my mind's eye.
Aphyd
07-31-2006, 03:42 PM
I failed to mention that the shape of the "vicious slash" is "FAENDRYL STINK"....zorro style.
Bam, disgraceful.
Or more seriously...it's up to you really to determine, and everyone is entitled to their opinion about stuff. But if you take, for example in the Anime, Naruto...all of the ninja's wear a headband with their village's emblem on it. Some people who were ran off, or left the village, slashed through their emblems. It was pretty much known what the slash meant.

It is made differently in my mind's eye.
To me it's like a Ranger's Hat and a normal hat. I don't see any difference and I'm yet to see a warcloak description that really differentiate's it from any other cloak (i.e. describing something to allow for armor movement, I dunno, something like that). Of course, everybody is different.
Another problem with just saying an "emblem of Ta'Faendryl" is that there are two emblems.. the Old one, and the New one. Usually, I assume it's the newer but it *could* be the older.
In response to Aphyd-- I watch anime but I prefer to leave the anime stuff out of Gemstone, also not everyone watches anime, nor is Elanthia the same world as Naruto's. It's why I hate the people who dress up as cats and actually use ACT'S to wag their fake tails.. and act like furries. >.<
I like the idea of your alter, I just think there's better ways to word things to make them more descriptive and effective. One thing I've always loved about alters like the one you have is that, had you left off the part about the slashes, it would have made an excellent conversation topic to anyone who saw it. My Faendryl has a bloodied handkerchief stitched with wavecrests, with a small hole and a blood smear around that hole on it.. It doesn't explicitly say It was shot by a Faendryl arrow and is embroidered with Ashrim crests, but anyone she showed the handkerchief to, she could explain and it was a good way to generate some roleplay.. people usually reacted quite violently to her amusement over it.

A green Luukosian shroud
The war shroud is composed of an indeterminate material that resembles silk in its sheen, but feels like supple old leather. The material appears to undulate in a disturbing manner with the wearer's movement. Two impure emeralds glimmer at the collar like watchful eyes. The Luukosian shroud is secured with a rune-etched scarab clasp.

The Plat-Killer.
You see Auvreaian.
He appears to be a Dark Elf.
He appears to be very young and taller than average. He has piercing violet eyes and ebon skin. He has long, glossy silver hair swept back from the temples. He has an angular face, a sharp nose and broad shoulders.
He has a Warrior Guild tattoo on his arm.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a blackened silver filigree headband, a high-collared flowing crimson cloak, a silver-bladed dagger medallion, a deeply-hooded ebon miniver surcoat, a blazestar-set obsidian signet ring, a polished platinum war horn, some fitted ebon suede pants, and some fitted dark suede boots buckled at the sides.
>look surc
Maintained with meticulous precision, the soft miniver falls in regal folds from the gathered neck of the enveloping hood to the ankle-length hem. A lining of crimson satin stands in bold contrast against the dark hue of the dyed leather, and a row of incarndine bloodjewels set in squared obsidian fasten the garment from mid-chest to hem.
>look ring
Meticulously cut obsidian forms the band and setting of the signet ring, its matte black surface reflecting ambient light subtly. A single crimson blazestar is set within a divit in the obsidian, contrasting starkly against the deep ebon hue much like a single drop of blood. Engraved along the inner band are the words "Blood of the Mate".
>look pants
Sewn from high quality ebon suede, these pants have been crafted to fit snugly about the wearer while allowing for flexibility and ease of movement. A fine teardrop-shaped bloodstone clasp has been expertly stitched into the waistband.
Boots are a long description Jolena and I made on Plat day 1.

My second new outfit for my girl in Plat.
You see Kennyrran.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be very young and average height. She has timid, silver-flecked verdant eyes and fair skin. She has very long, moonlight-silver hair fashioned into a myriad of slender mithril-beaded braids trailing down to her thighs, with the dainty tips of her ears peeking through. She has a delicate face and slightly upswept pointed ears.
She has a small black tattooed mark on her shoulder.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a crystal amulet, an ivory-boned sky blue linen corset, a silver-etched glass ring, an ora-clasped mistwood case, a pleated mist grey batiste skirt beaded with turquoise along the ankle-length hem, and some fitted calf-length ivory boots.
corset: Serviceable, inexpensive linen dyed a delicate sky blue hue is lined with a thin layer of ivory cotton. Rigid, sharply curved ivory boning is visible from the exterior, reinforcing the hourglass shape of the corset. A row of silver grommets are placed at the back from top to hem, threaded with narrow, ivory suede cording, and capped with turquoise beads.
case: Finely grained mistwood, sanded to a smooth perfection, is lacquered heavily to protect the naturally light wood from the elements. A lining of bleached cotton protects its contents and a rounded, teardrop-etched shard of ora serves as the clasp.
ring: A pattern of slim silver vines braiding together in a complicated fashion has been etched into the glass. A tiny fleck of green zircon accents the tip of each leaf. (boxfound)

Outfit worn for tonight's gem lore discussion. Given that we were talking about gems, I thought I'd go for a gems and jewelry theme, hence all the eahnor.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has ankle-length, silky jet hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by a set of five polished eahnor hairsticks. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a thin-bladed shadowy black fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a slim scarlet velvet choker set with an onyx rose, a ruby rose-clasped black silk handbag on a slender eahnor chain, a ruby silk and spun eahnor cotehardie, a delicate eahnor signet ring, and some slender black leather poulaines.
Hair is a wig with hairsticks that have been shown before.
Cotehardie (pinworn dagger hider): Delicate eahnor threads spiral with incarnadine silk filaments, melding together to form a shimmering gown, light in weight and fluid in motion. Underlaying the garment, deep scarlet marbrinus serves to aid the wearer's comfort and contrast the brilliant crimson metal, while dragon's-tear ruby buttons run up the sleeves and down the back to the trailing hem.
Ring: Finely polished eahnor keeps its natural crimson hue, worked into an intricate filigree to snare a detailed crest contained within. Inlaid onyx and ruby form the crest, that of a blooming rose upon an open fan.
Poulaines: Fluid lines trace the seams of each shoe, highlighted by fine teardrop piercework. Low heels of glossy ebon mithglin extend the silhouette, further accentuating the tapering pointed toes.
Went warm-toned, myself, for tomorrow. Ultra warm-toned. She probably looks like the sun, heh.
You see Great Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pair of glinting golvern filigree earcuffs, a gold-striated rich golvern ring, a strikingly vivid sunset-gold satin cotehardie with half-buttoned trailing sleeves, and some soft topaz suede slippers.
Ring:
The vivid reddish gold of the golvern is only enhanced by the contrast with the paler yellow gold inlaid in flowing streaks across the ring's surface. There is a faint pattern to the striations that gives the ring a fiery appearance, making it look like a neverending loop of flames.

When did Strata become a bard again??
Last.. um.. December? Just before the Promise. I couldn't take it! I'm glad I paid for a restoral. Got a level thirty paladin that was like a completely new character with a new name.

Wait so you could pay to revert back from paladin to bard back in December???
Yeah. We've been able to pay to regain rerolled characters for a while now.

Bah. I suddenly got all hopeful about being able to pay to transfer one character's profession to another. :(
Heh! You and everyone on Psinet!

You see Jesae Jiin.
She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D'ahranal.
She appears to be young and sprightly and shorter than average. She has captivating olive green eyes and fair skin. She has hip-length, luminous straight champagne blonde hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by a pair of sleek knotted linden hairsticks. She has a delicately sculpted face, an upturned nose and slightly-curved, naturally tinged pink lips.
She is in good shape.
She is holding an exquisite circular mirror ornamented in jewel-tone mosaic cloisonne in her right hand.
She is wearing a vivid red and orange striated hibiscus tucked behind one ear, a nine-strand necklace of naturally shaped golden moonstones, a svelte gown of rich blood-orange satin with deep hanging sleeves, a hand-stitched tea satchel, a rectangular cedar kit, and some backless sheer silk sandals.

That is one hawt outfit. I've always admired people who made outfits of odd colors (i.e. orange).. it all works though and I really like those hairsticks!

Thanks!
Compliaments go to Dex for the gown, and Satira for the sticks.

Just a random outfit with the new robe I bought off of Shimmerain. :)
You see Jolena.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be mature and of a peculiarly diminutive stature. She has mismatched cerulean and smaragdine eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, rich maple-hued hair caught in a casual roll at the nape of her neck by some ebony hand-painted hairsticks. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a tiny single freckle beside her petite button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a crescent moon tattoo on her neck, and a blooming moonflower tattoo on her waist.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a sleeveless dark linen robe slit to the waist on both sides, a rope-shaped carved crystal choker, a loose cream-colored blouse with narrow shoulder straps and a scoop neck, a hazy glass ring, a ruby red eahnor wedding ring, a mottled soft leather hip-sack, a pair of tight black leather pants, and some slim black narrow-toed boots.
I dig those boots, were they off the shelf?

You see XXX the Caretaker.
She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D'ahranal.
She appears to be very young and shorter than average. She has sultry violet eyes and fair skin. She has waist length, flowing deep red hair with a black streak running through it. She has a delicate face, a small nose and a generous mouth.
She has a thin black diamond ring in her lip, and a black diamond stud in her right nostril.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a deep green crushed velvet greatcloak in her right hand.
She is wearing a pair of silver filigree earrings, a flawless pure white moonflower, a butterfly charm, a large forest green suede herb satchel clasped with an opal, an iridescent gossamer blouse with long belled sleeves, a silvered filigree charm bracelet, a sparkling pink dreamstone band, a petite silver-set opal ring etched with feathery flourishes, a triple-stranded waistchain fastened with a ruby dragonfly, a silver-tooled black leather sheath, a tasselled beadwork pouch, some reinforced black leather pants, and some elegant tassled suede boots.

You see Great Lady XXX the Firestormer.
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She appears to be young and untried. She has fierce, darkly-lashed jade green eyes and sunkissed, golden bronze skin. She has long-tressed, blazing red hair falling wildly down to her knees. She has sumptuous, deep red lips. She has generously proportioned hips with long slender legs.
She has a series of tiny golden rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, a tattoo of ten tiny flames on her finger, a man in flames tattoo on her neck, a dark black scar, and a grinning firecat tattoo on her thigh.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a crystal amulet, a thin-chained fiery crimson crystal, a hooded flame red spidersilk cloak, a fitted lava-hued dress, a circle of ruby flames pin, a crimson spidersilk satchel with embroidered silver sigils, some voluptuous stitched leathers, a polished coral-set gold bracelet, a delicate obsidian ring studded with round-cut firestones, a scarlet velvet gem pouch, a lacquered scarlet scroll case, and some scarlet high-heeled sandals.
s>look at dress
This flowing short dress is streaked and tinged with hues of soft and dark reds; like a river of lavaflows. From the slender waistline, the skirt cascades into layered forms and edged slits. A thin chain delicately formed by ruby crusted rings accents the waist and grips the flow of the silky material along the wearer's curves.
s>look at bracelet
Numerous pieces of variegated coral have been inset into the wide band of this bracelet. Their carefully carved shapes resemble leaping flames, all dancing their way toward the center. There, a deeply hued piece of crimson coral has been carved in the shape of a blooming rose, its petals just brushing the tongues of bright fire. Dark letters, engraved into the pure gold edging of the bracelet, spell out the name, "XXX."
I changed my girl up a bit, trying to set up a new outfit for her now in a different colour to change her around sometimes.

I really love the dress and bracelet, but I think that you should consider storing some of your items when you are not hunting. So many items in your inventory really detracts from the overall appearance, in my opinion. Its the old cliche' "Less is More", heh.
I would recommend storing the pin, the leathers and either the gem pouch or the scroll case (or both ideally), perhaps store your satchel as well, when you are not hunting.

You are wearing a wide-brimmed black felt hat, a magnificently forged gold neckchain, a bone-clasped black leather cloak, a sleeveless dark blue silk shirt, a pair of skeleton bone-buckled shadowy black trousers and some side-laced dark leather boots.
I think it looks okay, I just wish it wasn't all ...boney. Looks a bit too goth.
BUMPZOR
...on second thought, putting it all together in my head...
Ouch. I'm hideous.

For the WD in Plat -
You see Kennyrran.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be very young and average height. She has timid, silver-flecked verdant eyes and exceedingly fair ivory skin. She has very long, moonlight-silver hair fashioned into a myriad of slender mithril-beaded braids trailing down to her thighs, with the dainty tips of her ears peeking through. She has delicate bone structure.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a tri-strand pearl choker, a cropped ivory linen jacket, a strapless cerulean silk sundress with a flowing ivory underskirt, and some open-toed ivory sandals settled upon mistwood heels.
Choker (was a gift) : Three short strands of pearls are cleanly set next to each other in a fine choker. Both the top and bottom strands showcase smooth blued pearls, where each rounded gem is the soft, hazy color of the morning sky. Smaller, more delicate white pearls, the hue of sea foam, form the middle strand.
Jacket: Silver frog-clasps secure the garment from just under the high collar to the short-waisted hem, which is designed to end just above the navel of the wearer. Short, bloused sleeves and a lining of soft butter cream silk add a feminine flare to the apparel.
