I haven't been pumping out the new shirts, jeans and booty shorts at my usual furious pace and the reason is because I've busy working on my first line of FIREFLY skins.
This brand new label promises to enhance your female avatar's appearance with dewy skin, a lightly freckled nose, smouldering eye-makeup and plump, glossy lips.
My skins will also feature something completely new and innovative, making them stand out from the rest. At the moment I will not reveal what this is, as it is my intellectual property & I want it to remain that way - at least until I release my skins!!
I will give you a small hint though. It is in high demand on the catwalks right now ;)
Apart from all this, I've been kept occupied with Uni. I am studying Medical Laboratory Science, although some people tell me I should be studying Graphic Art instead!!
My designs are more of a hobby for me at this stage. I like to keep my products nicely priced, because I know what its like to be new to SL and next to penniless, and I want my designs to be available to all, not just the 'SL elite'.
I have been tinkering with another idea, again featuring the ever-popular 'troll' theme for my shirts. Again, I'll keep that one to myself until I actually produce the product.
In the past I never used to understand why people were so up-in-arms about intellectual property theft and copybotting, but now that I am actually an SL designer myself, I understand what all the fuss is about.
As an SL designer, I spend hours upon hours on each of my works. Each piece is unique, its a work of art, and I've poured all my creative juices into it.
For someone to rip my hard work away for the sake of their own hip-pocket would be quite devastating.
So although I have never copybotted myself, I have seen the light, I am a convert. I am now a true follower of the religion known as 'Anti-Copybot'.
THE END ;)
