What Are You Wearing?

You see Sadryne Moxwood the Muse.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She appears to be an adult. She has almond-shaped green 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 set of five lustrous onyx rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, and a tattooed symbol of Eorgina on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a garnet studded steel circlet, a steel-set monstrance pendant, an obsidian Eorgina symbol, a mail-collared textured wool cloak, a mail-cinched black leather corset, some fingerless musicians gloves, a tiny ring of crystal-encased ivy, a heavy gold signet ring, a black-tinged crimson vapor barrier, a low-slung mail sword belt, a small matte black censer, an enameled steel reliquary, a skin of hallowed wine, a panniered black wool skirt, and some black spike-heeled boots.

A few items are stock, a few are from my aging collection of goodies, and a few are new works. Overall, the Wavedancer and the past few weeks have been good to Sadryne in the "acquisition" department.

I have to go look up words! Ack!

Any shows on some of that stuff?

I thought I would post my warrior chic outfit.


You see Lady Milque O'Moonshade.
She appears to be a Vaalor Elf.
She appears to be youthful and tall. She has long-lashed, vivid cerulean blue eyes and flawless pale apricot skin. She has long, shining blonde hair accented with sunset-golden highlights and neatly piled on top of her head in a mass of elegant curls. Her delicate features form a perfect line from her jaw extending out past her long, pointed ears.
She has minor cuts and bruises on her chest, minor cuts and bruises on her back, and some minor cuts and bruises on her right arm.
She is holding a convex red fireleaf buckler in her left hand.
She is wearing a low-hanging red despanal ferronniere, a nearly black lustring silk mantle with a slight carmine tinge, a leather bandolier, an open-sided gold chainmail kirtle, a fiery scarlet silk chemise overshot with threads of pale gold, and some red pointy-heeled boots.

>look buckler
Deep furrows ride across the surface of this buckler, resembling nothing so much as rough surf washing up along the beach in never ending ripples. Dark tinges of carmine red gleam from the recesses of each hollow, brought into stark visibility by the convex curve of the piece. A band of ruby-traced steel rims the shield in a design that mimics the forked angles of a sword-breaker and no doubt serves much the same purpose.

>look ferronniere
A large scarlet despanal rests against a dark eahnor backing, the carmine metal amplifying the blood-red hue of the gem. A nearly invisible silver chain serves to suspend the despanal in the middle of the forehead like a third eye.

>look kirtle
Falling from a high eahnor-banded neckline to just hit mid-thigh, small golden-hued loops form a tightly linked chainmail kirtle. Red golvern chains lace up the open sides, allowing the kirtle to be either pulled in at the waist for ceremonial occasions, or let out to allow for movement in combat. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

The bandolier is not mine, and alas, cannot be altered to my liking. But it is uber awesome.

Sorry about that, here are the shows:

a garnet studded steel circlet: The tiny garnets are reminiscent of Eorgina's purifying flames. Engraved along the inside are the words: It is the prerogative of fools and Bards to utter truths that no one else will speak.

a steel-set monstrance pendant: Beneath the monstrance's wavery glass dome is a single black scale pinned on yellowing linen.

an obsidian Eorgina symbol: Engraved into the flat, flame-shaped symbol are the tiny words, "Fire that's closest kept burns most of all."

a mail-cinched black leather corset: With a flat front and high, short straps, the corset is sleek and long-lined. A thin band of interlocking blued-steel mail rings frames the decolletage.

a low-slung mail sword belt: A polished steel scabbard and a drake-engraved steel scabbard hang from the mail sword belt. The wide band of interlocking blued mail rings is hung with several pouches and strings of beaded stones and crystals.

an enameled steel reliquary: The small steel box has a red glaesine lid, and four enameled sides. Each colorful panel shows a different view of the same high, craggy peak -- a mountain surrounded by winged drakes, a mountain capped with a minaret-spired palace, a mountain bathed in the glow of a blood-red moon, and a mountain from a far off and distant view.

a panniered black wool skirt: Widely panniered, the wool skirt flares at the waist and trails into a leather-trimmed hem. A chain of rough steel bells dangles amongst the folds.

some fingerless musicians gloves: The leather palms of the gloves are worn in and smooth, obviously from hours of being stretched in instrumental practice. At the joining of digit and hand, the fingers of the gloves have been cut off and stiched cleanly with soft thread. This enables the musician to better pluck strings, pound keys and perform intricate fingerings. (These are littered with typos, but hey, I've had them 10 years now, so it's a bit late to worry about that.)

I really like that reliquary. love the drake theme on it.

Milque-- I really love the outfit! Especially the ferroniere, kirtle and mantle.

Kierke, that is a really unique outfit. I love the corset.



Here's Jolena's outfit today:


You see Jolena.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be mature and shorter than average. She has mismatched cerulean and smaragdine eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, rich maple-hued hair twisted into a high, neat bun and held in place with some silvery winter rose hairjewels arranged in a spiral design. 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 nine-strand necklace of naturally shaped golden moonstones, a silk-laced dark velvet bodice, a ruby red eahnor wedding ring, a midnight black velvet-lined dark suede rucksack, a beaded dark cherry silk skirt with a sable-edged lacy underskirt, and some dainty black velvet slippers.

Skirt is a Mavika creation I had done on the 1st run of the WD.

Bodice to go with it:
Crushed deep black velvet has been meticulously cut to fit closely to the torso with strips of dark mistwood added for the boning, creating an hourglass effect. The daringly-cut bustline has been edged with sable cording and a slight ruffle of dark cherry lace peeks out from the top. Wisps of silk have been used for the lacing in the back and are threaded through intricate crystal grommets.

Rest is off the shelf but for the wedding ring.

It's actually, and I was purposefully obtuse in the description, based around the story of Eorgina told in "official" Gemstone documentation.

The mountain is supposed to be that which housed Li'aerion, and the images are captured moments in Eorginian history. So the drake is the earliest legend, moving through Eorgina's establishment of a palace, her exile to Lornon and her abandonment of the mountain compound.

It was the alteration I was most concerned about having done on the WD, to the point where I actually sort of had the shakes when it was my turn in line. I was so afraid they would say no. You know -- religious object, combined with documentation imagery, and a lack of "dark" merchants on the boat. All in all, it turned out well though.

I'm glad you got it done! Dunno why you were nervous, though. Religious objects, and objects referencing IG stories aren't against the rules, I don't think. I go something like that with no problem, a choker documenting Eorgina's change from Drake to Arkati in little intaglio pictures.

Perhaps it's just my past history, combined with a recent spate of refusals in Plat. Back in the day (when I previously played, some seven years back) it was very difficult to get religiously themed alterations. Sometimes it's good that things change!

Oi, it was hard to get ANYTHING back in the day. Same sort of thing happened to me. Played while it was on AOL and never got a single alteration, then quit when it went to the web, came back four years or so later, and now I can't STOP getting alterations.

Wonderfully, things are a lot looser now and it's easier to customize your character to the utmost. I can't wait to see what else you do with Sadryne in Prime (leave Plat behind!) It still makes me (and likely Naessi's player) incredibly smug that Eorgina's followers are some of the best dressed in game.
