You see Ihara.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be of a tender age and shorter than average. She has thick-lashed stormy grey eyes and tanned skin. She has short, ash-blonde hair cut at random, wild layered angles that falls haphazardly to her jaw line. She has a triangular face, a straight nose and angular pointed ears.
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 pink-eyed dark coral plumeria tucked behind one ear, a multi-strand ebony-beaded choker, a delicate silver-clasped handbag, a thin-strapped black velvet gown with vivid pink tulle underskirts, and some black silk high-heeled slippers.
Friggen Michiko and her gown obsession...<grumbles>
Just for you I'm going to get something that has a horse with a cancerous growth on it's chest. :cool:Quote:

I think I went overboard. Individually I like my stuff, but when I put it all together it just seems like too much:
He appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
He appears to be wizened with age. He has dark eyes and golden brown skin. He has short, silver hair. His face is shadowed by the deep hood of his robes.
He has a coiled black dragon tattoo on his arm.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a weathered snake head fetish, a pair of faded black casting gloves, some sleek black leather boots, a pair of black-tinted glasses, a gold ring, a glyph-edged dark silk longcloak, some hooded dark silk robes, a glyph-etched mithril scroll case engraved with a silvery symbol of Marlu, a glyph-trimmed black silk satchel, a glyph-trimmed spell component neckpouch, an Ur-Daemon constellation clasp, a glyph-trimmed spidersilk vest, a glyph-trimmed black stave harness, and a glyph-trimmed silk gem pouch embroidered with a black six-tentacled star.
a skull-capped blackend bone staff. - Show:
The shaft of this staff is made of a few pieces of blackend bone with deep red glyphs carved up the sides to the top. It is adorned with a bleached white skull, its misshapen teeth set in an odd grin. Two crimson rubies have been expertly set into the eye sockets, sparkling slightly each time the light hits them.
a pair of faded black casting gloves - Show:
The fingers of these gloves have been faded and scorched over the years, through constant exposure to arcane power. The tiny glyphs running down the sides of the fingers are now barely discernable. Intricately cut onyx studs encircle the wrist, their dark facets glimmering subtly, but not reflecting much light.
a glyph-trimmed spell component neckpouch - Show:
Crimson and emerald glyphs adorn the edges of this black silk pouch, which can be secured about a wearer's neck with a blackened length of leather. The inside is separated into a number of small compartments for storing certain herbs and other magical materials, if the glyphs are any indication. The neckpouch can be drawn close with a bead-tipped strip of hide that has been cut to such a short length, it can serve only its purpose of securing the pouch, rather than overpowering the mystical decorations.
a glyph-trimmed black silk satchel - Show:
The edges of this satchel are adorned with alternating sapphire and emerald glyphs. Apart from these small markings the satchel is made from a finely woven deep black silk. Inside, the satchel is lined with a light purple velvet and separated into numerous different compartments.
some hooded dark silk robes. - Show:
The hood of these robes is very deep, easily shrouding the face of whoever dons it. Alternating crimson and gold glyphs surround the edge of the hood and also wrap around the end of the sleeves. Apart from these small markings, the robes are made of a deep black silk which flows easily around the wearer's body.
a glyph-edged dark silk longcloak. - Show:
Alternating crimson and gold gylphs adorn the edges of this cloak, running down the front from the clasp. Apart from these small markings, the cloak is very simple in appearance. It is made of a deep blue silk and lined inside with a light purple velvet.
My personal favorite are the casting gloves, which is kind of ironic since they were the first alter I ever got.
It's been a while since anything was posted. This is my Huntress archer. She hasn't got any altered features (yet) so no point in showing those.
She is wearing a cast silver hunt scene choker, a sturdy cotton multi-strapped harness, a knee-length black cotton tunic with waist-high slits up each side, some black suede chaps side-buckled with a multitude of straps, some low-slung grey muslin pants, and some tall black wrapped leather boots.
Choker:
Four separate pieces of the scene were cast in their molds individually and put together with hidden hinges; when the choker is fastened the seams are all but invisible. The pack of graceful, long-limbed sight hounds runs almost the full circle of the choker, save a gap occupied by a pair of deer. The doe is pictured looking back towards the dogs nipping at her heels while the stag has a lowered head, the sharp tines of his antlers aimed at the last dog of the pack.
Harness:
A multitude of grey cotton straps bind the harness to the body - two meant to go around the midriff just under the chest, one around each shoulder and across the neck, and two around each upper arm - each fastened adjustably in the front with black buckles. A slender dagger sheath is fixed to a strap on the left arm while a petite envelope pouch hangs from the lowest midriff strap. Suede cords dangle in rows across the back, allowing for many different things to be tied to the harness.
Pants:
Thick, durable muslin has been dyed an indeterminate grey and cut to a comfortable straight leg style with crisp pleats. Two black oval buckles with thin straps fasten the pants at the front of each hip.
Boots:
The boots are solid black leather up to the ankles, featuring thin soles and faintly pointed toes. From there, the leather is divided into long thin straps wound close around each leg until just under the knees where they fasten tightly with black lacquered buckles.
Heh, DrxLecter had the same idea as me! Hm. It is a little overboard on the glyph theme but otherwise nice. And the gloves are good, especially for a first alteration.
I swear I'm not trying to sound like a bitch when I say this, but DAMN, like glyphs much?
I do like that you're trying to coordinate all your pieces, but it just seems overbearing with all that written stuff all over your outfit! Perhaps limiting items that are glyph covered, or finding a way to simply keep the glyphs in the show would probably help.
Head-to-toe order helps too.
<glances around, ready to duck for flying rotted fruit and angry mobs>
For the boarding of the Wavedancer...
You see Ihara.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be of a tender age and shorter than average. She has thick-lashed stormy grey eyes and tanned skin. She has short, ash-blonde hair cut at random, wild layered angles that falls haphazardly to her jaw line. She has a triangular face, a straight nose and angular pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is holding an exquisite circular mirror ornamented in jewel-tone mosaic cloisonne in her right hand and a delicate pale mistwood parasol in her left hand.
She is wearing a flawless pure white moonflower tucked behind one ear, a colorful knitted pack, a silver-clasped woven straw purse, a natural linen robe gathered into a narrow pleated train at the back, a svelte vaalin-scaled corset, a shirred coral silk skirt overlaid with breezy white gauze, and some backless sheer silk sandals.
That horrid pack is used to hold all the shit I'm going to buy, plus what I need altered. I didn't think it was SO bad and it fits the summery theme.
>look corset
>
Reminiscent of snakeskin, the corset carries a faint oily shimmer. Constructed on a buttery soft white suede base, the entirety of this garment has been covered with a layer of fine iridescent white vaalin scales. Thin enough to flex under slight pressure, it is pliable enough to allow a wearer to move with ease. Carefully concealed underneath the scales, tiny matching vaalin grommets allow the corset to be conspicuously laced from the back with white suede cords.
I'm SHOCKED no one has posted on here, what with the Wavedancer and all going on.
Here is one of the two outfits I made off with. Pity they are 2 of the 5 services I've had done.

She is in good shape.
She is wearing a vivid red and orange striated hibiscus tucked behind one ear, some exquisite silver earrings hung with a complex chandelier-like web of jet beads, a roomy white canvas tote, a round woven straw bag with a soft leather shoulder strap, a black and white striped dress with a square-cut neckline and double bell-flounced sleeves, and a pair of slender cotton thong sandals settled atop short maple heels.
I also had her hair "grown out". I'm calling this her pirate-princess costume.
