I have just put out the brand new The Monarchy set for RFL! :D Click the picture below for a bigger shot.

It is an elegant, ethereal gown which includes an exclusive, unreleased jewelry set in gold and onyx with white pearls. The set includes both a full skirt, and back only, with optional glow. The Monarchy also includes a special edition of my skin, Eden, in “Monarch” makeup. The skin comes in all 8 tones, freckled and non.

How about that? A beautiful gown, a skin, and a jewelry set, all for $1500L, 100% of which will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Grab it while you can!

Take the limo here.

Slight Change ‘O The Mornin’ To Ya…

Posted by Ryker Beck on March 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

So, I want to go see The Watchmen. I know, I know. I’m a geek. It’s a phase, I’ll grow out of it (not).

But what does that mean? That I likely will not be home in time to open the sim right at 5:00PM SLT. So… with that in mind, I’ll just open it now.

Zion is open and Eden is up for sale, along with the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt (which will be going until this coming weekend — it’ll end this Saturday). Don’t miss outtttttttttt!

Take the limo, and beat the crowd. ;)

Oh, and enjoy. *runs away*

Eden on St. Patrick’s Day

I know you’ve all been dying to know where I’ve been. :P

I am writing this note to introduce you to the much anticipated, long-time coming first skin — Eden. A very fitting name for Genesis (SLURL) don’t you think? ;)

Eden was an “idea in progress” for around two years. When I first began playing SL, the very first thing I wanted to do was create a skin. But naturally… I didn’t know the first thing, I had no idea what I would be doing, and I didn’t even know where to start. Over time, I was able to observe and learn from other skin creators such as Eloh Eliot, whose templates have been released far and wide. While Eden is not based entirely on Eloh’s template (though I will admit to swiping the teeth from it :P), without her PSDs, I never would have understood the mechanics of skin making. And it is with her generosity that so many budding skin designers have begun to work their craft.

The creation of Eden has been covered far and wide on both Plurk and Flickr. Feel free to view the (many, many, omg many) images I’ve uploaded over the course of Eden’s creation on my Flickr page.

In celebration of one of my favorite holidays (weeee for green beer!), I thought it only fitting to release Eden on St. Patrick’s Day. Zion is closed at the moment, but will open again at 5:00 PM SLT sharp on March 17, 2009 for the inaugural release of the skin, as well as a Genesis St. Patrick’s Day hunt being held only at my main store (SLURL). The hunt will include a special St. Patrick’s Day version of the Eden skin, as well as 5 other goodies to pick up. Click the picture below for details!

I’d like to thank everyone that’s encouraged me these last few weeks with the skin. Everyone on Plurk who has offered me their feedback. My beta testers and anyone that sent me a notecard with suggestions and comments. CodeBastard Redgrave of Mechanized Life for her AMAZING freckle template, without which, Eden’s freckles would simply not be what they are (you are one talented woman, and I love you dearly <3). Gabby Panacek of Couture Conundrum for the continuous beautiful pictures and inspiration. And anyone and everyone that sent me an IM offering a compliment, feedback, or constructive criticism. You guys rock, and you helped make Eden what she is. And I am so grateful to all of you.

Woo hoo! XD <3
