Eloh Eliot’s Skins: You’re My Goddess

Folks… I have to say, I am floored. For the first time in my Second Life, I just… don’t know what to say. That doesn’t happen often either, does it?

I ran across Mela’s blog post over on Grid Expectations yesterday, and saw a couple of shots of a body, some closeups of a face, etc. Pictures that catch your eye, you know? I mean… who doesn’t like looking at the nekkid avatars?

Now, as I’m sure most of you know, Mela makes shapes and has a fantastic little shape shop over on the Reina sim. She often posts pictures of the shapes she creates, wearing various skins, etc etc. However, most of the shots she takes of her shapes are actually clothed… which is why this particular post caught my eye. Nudity? Whiskey tango foxtrot, Batman!

So I had to investigate further.

As it turns out… this was no ordinary shape announcement. This was an announcement for the skin release of the YEAR… and by “skin release of the year” I mean “hold on to your butts, because you’re going to shit your pants when I tell you this.”

The magnificent, spectacular, beautiful, enchanting, somanythingsidontknowwhattosay Eloh Eliot has released a new line of her “E” skins at her little shop known simply as Another Shop (SLURL). And these are no ordinary skins for two reasons in my book:

1. The toes are perfect. PERFECT. Did I say perfect? I’m sorry, I meant FUCKING perfect.

2. The skin packs are $100L… for THIRTY-TWO SKINS!!! Yeah! THIRTY. TWO. Count ‘em!!! THIRTY-TWO!!! And that’s not a typo… they’re actually $100L per pack!

The Technicalities:

Creator: Eloh Eliot
Shop Location: Lippert Sim (SLURL)
Price: $100L per skin pack (32 skins)
Other Notes: All skin packs come with a shape, four bald hair bases that will change your eyebrow colors to red, blond, black, or brown and all skin makeup variations come with or without freckles. At LEAST seven different makeup variations.

Let’s charge right ahead here… to the TnA (tits and ass, folks).

The BOOBIES, as my girl Keiko would say, are fantastic. The nipples are the perfect size for me (I like ‘em cute and little). One tiny little thing I found a bit odd… there’s a little black dot right in the center of the aerola. Which is weird (giant mammary glands, perhaps?). But I’m sure that’s just an oversight and will likely be done away with in the next release. The shading on the boobs themselves is fantastic, especially from the side (which I regret not capturing a snap of). They look so round and firm that you just wanna SQUEEEEEZE them. Beautiful.

The ass is just as nice albeit a LITTLE under shaded (burned) on the bottom of the cheeks. I don’t know why, but I really love my ass cheeks to pop… and the only thing that really does that for me is the shading beneath the cheek. This skin needs a little more of that for my taste, but other then that… this is one scrumptious little boo-tay, and like it’s boobie counterparts, very squeezable.

The pussy is also fantastic, hairless (BIG POINTS in my book *big big Brazilian buff*) and beautifully shaded… it’s perfect, really. That’s all I can think to say. It’s perfect. And what makes it all better is it doesn’t smear down the inner thighs. There is a TINY bit of smearing there… but not much! And I especially love the shading of the flesh and hood of the kitty itself… it actually adds depth to the muscle structure beneath the skin and makes it all pop out even more. Guys… if your girl buys this skin, you’re in for a treat!

The feet are the best feet I’ve ever seen in SL, bar none. They ACTUALLY look like feet. I was shocked when I saw them. I don’t even know what to say except that I would buy these skins three hundred times for the feet detail and perfection ALONE. The hands are also nicely manicured, but could do with a little more detail on the TOP of the hand… however, the PALM of the hand is very nicely detailed and shaded. They might be the first hands I’ve seen the actually incorporate shading and creases on the palms. The legs and knees? Also just perfect, right down to the shading on the leg bones. Bravo!

The bottom line here really is, that for $100L for 32 skins… you need to go out and buy these. If you don’t, you’re missing out on some seriously gorgeous and INCREDIBLY steal-worthy skins. I don’t think, even if I said it a hundred times, I could stress enough just how much I adore these skins, and Eloh Eliot… you are my new goddess. I want to have your babies.

I can’t even come up with anything negative to say about these skins aside from some of the white highlighting being a little too harsh… and even THAT wouldn’t be enough to stop me from buying these fan-fucking-tastic skins.The store is Another Shop (SLURL). The deal of a Second Lifetime. Don’t miss out! Also, for more pictures and a second opinion (and a beautiful opinion at that! *hugs Mela*) check out Mela’s blog post on Eloh’s skins.

Oh! And for those of you wondering what the difference is between the demos and the purchased skins… there is no “demo” splattered all over the skin, this is true. BUT… take a look at your mouth. I’m sure you don’t want to walk around with teeth like that!!! :P

    I have been a fan of Eloh’s ever since she started posting images on Flickr. I never realized that her lovely avatar was of her own creation until she started posting demo pics of her skins. I visited Another Store a couple of months ago but crashed soon after arrival (noting new for me) and haven’t made the trip back yet. To be sure, my name will soon be showing up on her Lindens paid records.

    I bought the skins and I am SO ecstatic right now. It boggles my mind how awesome these skins are, yet how cheap they’re being sold for.

  3. Natasha Ascot says:

    If only I had a decent SHAPE to make it look like in the pics…darnnn! Why are shapes coming with the skins don’t give the same look! The skins are gorgeous though!
    So if anybody knows the shape to wear with these, IM me inworld pls!

  4. Hey Ryker, leaving a bunch of notes here of things I thought of when I saw this.

    Firstly, I so gotta get over there and get this skin.

    Secondly, I know of two skins on the grid that have really pretty feet other than this one. One is the Gala Skin at Empyrean and the other is the Pandora Skin at Adam n Eve.

    If you want lms, please feel free to poke me.

    Thirdly, regarding your great (Removing the green screen from trans) tutorial. I feel like such a dummy now for not thinking of some of those tricks, lol

    However, here’s a couple things that may make the whole process simpler. One, if you use your eyedrop tool over the color of the dress, the rgb color set up should also give you hue, saturation etc, settings which you *should* be able to pop right into the second step you mention.

    Also, photoshop has a replace color adjustment under image adjustments. It may be possible to recolor all the bits of green using that. Haven’t tried it yet but wanted to mention. Finally, I’m adding you to my blogroll when i have time, take care ;)
