Ninja Assassin @ Stygian

So, here’s a funny thing. I didn’t know the theme of the upcoming Style Throwdown when I picked up these designs and decided to make them my next feature. Am I picking up on a psychic wavelength? Is it something in the water? I don’t want to spoil anything or steal thunder from Express and Lawless, so let’s just say I’m thematically consistent and consider this a companion piece, shall we?

“Su’an Assassin” (L$200 L$400) by Madlax Stygian is a fairly elaborate fantasy/roleplay ensemble that comes complete with scripted weapons.  The set includes black leggings with prim side pouches and rolled cuffs, prim obi and prim Geta shoes (close-up).  The leggings come in two styles: the longer style shown here and a shorter “capri” style, presumably for women.  The legging cuffs and shoes are detailed with flexi string ties, and the prim side pockets can be worn with or without the pictured “shard” knives.  Also included is a sword, the Su’an blade.  The weapons are scripted for combat], complete with “draw” animations, sound effects and animated stances (blade, knives).  Notecards are included with info on the weapons scripting.  I’m not into combat RP and didn’t try the weapons out in that setting, but the animations and sound effects are very cool indeed.

New Series: Blogger Style Throwdown!

So about a month ago I had this great idea for a new type of post on the site. I thought it was a cool idea, but experience has told me that what I think is a good idea usually isn’t. So I went around and asked a bunch of people if they thought it was a good idea. Now, they were probably lying, but they said it was a great idea. But then, one night, I threw my pitch at a friend and instead of saying it was a great idea, he said it was an awesome idea. And then he proceeded to tell me what he understood of the idea, which was nearly nothing. On the other hand, his interpretation, a similar but rather different idea was in my eyes a much better one. So, with his blessing, I’m stealing his idea. (more…)
