SecondSkin Avatar Editions - Available Now

Posted by Michi Lumin on 6/27/2010

SecondSkin Wolf and Bigcat editions now available in Luskwood.

Now, I'm not exactly sure what to say, except they're shiny. Shiny looks good, and dare I say somewhat sexy. Sexy but not salacious. If you enjoy shiny, you will enjoy these avatars. They are also likely waterproof.* Other words that come to mind are "sheen", "plasticity", "lustre" and even "albedo".

All the features of the original avs,including a full HUD with color change eyes and hair (separate attachment),twitching/moving ears, talking/articulated jaw, digitigrade/plantigrade switchable legs,flexi/sculpted switchable tail, and full body shading. Available on XstreetSL shortly.

Chocolate Easter Wolves

Posted by Michi Lumin on 4/2/2010

Chocolate wolves are available. Y'know. Because, Easter. And usually it's bunnies, but, what's like totally NOT a bunny? A wolf isn't a bunny. So for Easter on SL, all these people will be hopping around like bunnies, and then you can be all like "RAAAR I'M A WOLF!" ... except you're made of chocolate. Which takes some of the "fearsome predator" aspect out of it all, but, we digress. Available in White, Dark, and Milk chocolate. Luskwood Creatures cannot be held responsible for the results of attempting to lick your monitor.

Get them now in Luskwood.
