Trilobiteware Twitter

Because Blogger is boring.

Maybe I'm not a lazy blogger after all; maybe it's just because I don't like blogger.

Affiliate Action (continued)

I've caved to popular demand once more!

I used to be a busy busy vendor, and due to running around renting every vending spot possible about 2 years ago, I got my foot very much in SL's door. But these days, I'm making more and more stuff, in more and more detail, busied with my facebook apps (hell yeah) and about to begin testing the mysterious Viddycutter, which you'll all hear about soon... All that stuff makes a gal not want to bother with renting vending space.

So it was clearly time to let you guys sell my stuff for me! If you've ever invited me to your mall, grab a fistful of my vendors instead, chances are you'll make more L$ than you'd have been charging in rent!

Now almost all my products are available in affiliate vendors for you to rez in your own mall/club/whatever. As before, they take no setup - just rez and they'll run.

I was already offering affil vendors for my pawprints, my catsuits, and my corsets - but I've added two new vendors:
One contains clothes I've made since mid 2007 - so basically all my best bits. Since there's always a fetishy edge to my stuff, I've called it my FetCouture vendor, and it'll grease its owner's palm with 20% of all sales.
And one for my pony related stuff, which gives its owner 10%.
Products in these vendors are priced up to 2000L$ ...so that's still pretty good cut!

I decided not to make the percentages too high, mainly because I'd rather these vendors went in places they'll do well, instead of being spammed about all over the place and cheapening my good name!

They're not available on slex quite yet, but they're about to be. For now, pop on down to my shop and grab a few. They're all 10L$, and whenever I make new items for these categories, these vendors too will contain them.

Affiliate Catsuitery

Ah yes, an now the catsuits from the last post are available in my shop, or on Slexchange, as affiliate vendors.

So if you've a decent spot, grab one and earn 25% of each sale!

Catsuit range revisited: 44

Yep. I knew I was nuts to do them in 10 colours plus mono, because they were all so dark, my first wave of catsuits. So I did some a bit lighter, but then ran quaking from the prospect of creating, modding, boxing, naming and vending a whole 44 new catsuits.

And now here I am, releasing a full range of 44 of them.

I am such a masochist. Quick, take pity on me and buy one.

With Vengeance

And so it comes to that time of year when I should really be outside having some life, but the warmer evenings, the breadth of band and a strengthening economy lures me with the carrot of prosperity, more fun and more artistic satisfaction, back to SL.

This time you might have noticed I've brought some pretentiousness with me.

So, to the new productage.

laziness -= 10%

Phew, after about four months of putting it off, I've put (nearly) all my products on SLexchange!

Now you don't have to hurl yourself inworld to check out mah wares. I'll endeavour to add new items to slex as I make them too...

Also also, I'm getting into architecture! ...ridiculously texturous archtecture, in fact. Nothing's for sale yet, but in my shop stands the first tower of what will (eventually) become my first build - a modular miniature castle, with glorious RL textures. Drop by and have a look!

Snowflake + Shadow v2 / Corset Bundle / Happy New Year

Yeah, I exist in SL again!

Happy new year; it's always round this time of year that I have a surge of productivity, in and out of SL, and this year's looking like no exception.

New this week are the Shadow Ensemble and the Snowflake Ensemble, both intricately detailed and made form all-new clothing layers, with plenty of new primwear too. They're the long-awaited and oft-requested second versions of the ones I did a little over a year and a half ago... Time flies, and seems I'm playing version numbering with old favourites.

Also available is one big fat set containing all my corsetry, hundreds of items, and at its current price (I'll keep adding corsets to it and raising the price a little) it's a saving of 1500L$. Would have been pretty cunning of me to have released it before christmas though, huh?

Gah, RL

Yeah, I suddenly have 2 RL jobs, so I'm barely in SL at the moment.

I'll return with a vengeance, mind, once the new year comes round and i can sort my time out better.

But for the meantime, you might seldom see a Tri. Sorriez, folkses.

Tri Is Lazy + New Catsuits

Yes, Tri is lazy.

I may be pretty industrious, but then I go doing daft stuff like not announcing new stuff on the ol' blog.

So, this week's goodies so far are my Sidestriped Catsuits - an element of prototype of the uniforms I did for the Latex Dolls. They're stupidly carefully rendered and handfinished, complete with realistic wrinkly zones, and a very sci-fi stripe up the side. Available in 5 colours. Well, 3 colours and 2 monochromes. I do love my monochrome.

Speaking of monochrome, the Dark Princess outfit I recently did is also worth a mention, because I totally forgot to blog it. It's a nice combo of various black shiny stuff, with a cape and flowy primskirts. I was wearing it about, not thinking of it as an outfit design, but it was much-requested nonetheless... Check it out at my shop.

Tri is also lazy because she neglects to put new stuff on Slexchange very often too, so keep an eye inworld for all the latest - it only hits slex 5 or so items at a time.

Camdeath = oh noes!

The horror! The very horror!

I was out the other night trying to get some shots from obscure angles, and one of them involved lying flat on my back with camera perched on me - but even with the wriststrap, I somehow fumbled it, and it fell a mere 3 inches over my shoulder, and.... cracked the screen.

And no camera, no texturous SL products. Oh Noes!

So, gottdammerung, I've had to spend a good week and a half of SL income on a new one, which is lovely, but tooootally not in affordability land right about now.

So! Good news = I'll be doing more SL stuff, and some of the RL-textured architecture I've been considering, to compensate.

Bad news = I'm way poor for a while now, so I've put out a camera-shaped tip jar, a replica of its dead twin, in my skyboxshop.

Y'all know what to do ;)

Movin' on

Sigh. Well, if RL wants to be crap to me, may as well get busy in SL...

To that end, I'm introducing affiliate vendors for my Pawprint Vendors, and my Corsetry Vendors.
If you've got a SLshop, club, or whatever, then grab yourself a Trilo affiliate vendor and make yourself (and me) some L$!

Admittedly, they're not free (just to make sure nobody covers SL with them) but they are damn cheap.

Here they are on SLexchange...
Pawprint Vendor
Corset Vendor
Corset Vendor with underbusts only

So, go grab one, at slex or in my skybox, and get us rich! There must be a load of furry malls that could do with a pawprint vendor...

Emo Tri

Tri is all messed up, depressed and heartbroken this month, because RL has turned upon its head, and nothing is any longer as it seems.

I need to go let my alter ego go live RL for a while. Doesn't mean I won't be inworld, and working, but if I'm distant and strange... well, you know why now.

4 New Corsets in one day

It's been a busy texturing day! I've been making corsets again, and this time, I've made underbust & overbust latex ones, and underbust & overbust in a faintly spanishy style I'm calling bolero.

There'll be lots of new stuff coming soon, too, since I've got my technique down and I managed to make these four in one day...

Go Hyperproductivity!

New Circuit Catsuit & Dress

I've been a-doing cloning in Modo, and now the fruits of that labour are beggining to ripen.

Today's new product is a seamless dress and catsuit of circuitry, with 3 skirts and a rather egyptian-looking necklace, which is, incidentally, particle accelerator curcuitry!

I was intending to make a huge slew of 8(ish) new corsets this week, but as the RL rain never lets up when I have outdoor plans, It's just gonna have to be on the coming weekend, or sometime very soon.

Keep an eye out!

/me returns

Yay! Now I've finished moving (RL) house.

I may not have set my full SL studio up yet, and I may be living on borrowed wifi, but Trilobiteware is very much back in business.

Coming this week*: at least 5 new corsets from RL, some latexy clothing, and maybe some more furskins. Depending on how my sculpting powers progress, there might be some interesting cyber-type wearables, too.

But for the meantime, bear with me inworld, I'll be pretty crashy 'til my own internet supply comes...

*or at least soon, depending on how SL behaves after this week's downtime

Movin' On

I'm moving house this week. RL, not SL. So I'll not be very inworld, 'til the internet is all ordered - I'll be able to leech friendly local wifi, but not often or for extended periods.

So, back in about a week...

Collar featured in Machinima

Yes, I've had one of my collars featured in a little movie at Metaverse Messenger's Fashion Angels blog.

...What's more, a Tank Girl themed one!

The Story So Far

I fell blundering into Second Life roughly a year ago. As an arena of user-defined content, mostly for aesthetic or frivolous means, it amused me greatly as a concept.

It wasn't until I was in there that I discovered how fully people live out their second lives, how valuable interpersonal relationships can be formed in a video game (esque) format, and, of course, the opportunities for a design/art/game geek like m'self.

So, on the first day of flexiprims, I made some hair, a tail, some skirts and a buch of other swishy stuff. At the behest of others, I made a few little one-prim vendypanels to sell them. Then I downloaded the avatar templates, raided Ebay for a few hi-rez dress photos, and racked up a little polka-dot number. Once these all began to make their initial small sales, I saw the possibilities of working in SL.

Those hairdos, tails and that very dress are still going strong, making the odd sale now and again, despite the quality of my recent wares wildly outstripping them.

So these days, I make primmy attachments, scripted gizmos, clothes, and the occassional bit of kink. This weekend I'm moving house and setting up a little multi-cpu SL studio, where I'll be developing new goods with renewed fervour until either I get rich, SL changes its nature, or both.

I'll be blogging new developments & products here, as well as, well, posting whatever I fancy.

Best, and weirdest, job I ever had. I tip my hat to all of you who've bought my stuff and made it all possible.

The TriloBlog begins

Since I've been in SL for over a year now, it's clearly time to start a blog.

I make so much random SL stuff that it's rapidly turning into a full-time job; so this blog is going to document what I'm up to, and my wares.

Expect minor perviness, but nothing obscene...
Don't forget what metaverse I'm working in, now.
