Fantasy Avatar: The Elven Maiden

Not all Second Life avatars have to be human. A few days ago you saw The Demoness. Today I’ll be showing you a gorgeous elven maiden featuring ears from Swallow and a beautiful dress from Arwen’s Creations.

Get The Elven Maiden Look

For this character I only needed to purchase the elf ears and dress. Of course not all elves need to be clothed in flowing dresses, but I wanted mine to have a style that I didn’t currently have in my inventory. If you’d like to copy the avatar completely you can find full credits at the bottom of the post. Feel free to click any image for a larger version to check out the detail.

Elven Ears – Swallow

Swallow sells not only various ears (for elves and humans) but also a variety of accessories, jewelry, and skins. Their store offers gacha machines and even a L$99 room. For accessories that make you stand out Swallow is a store you don’t want to miss.

These ears are a real treat. They come with an in depth HUD to ensure your ears are unlike any others. There are 27 preset skin tones, but if you can’t find your match there you can use the color picker or even an RGB input for the proper color match. You can also choose between 25 “shades” (ear tip colors/glow) and 31 tattoo options including two in the style of Lord of the Rings.  Sizing the ears for a perfect fit is easily handled via the HUD. Depending on your skin, the ears may have a noticeable seam where your head stops and the ears stop. If you find this to be the case you can easily cover the seam with hair or accessories.

Gown – Arwen’s Creations

I found Arwen’s Creations when hunting for new products on the Marketplace. (Sound daunting? It’s not. I even have a guide to help you!) I wanted a gorgeous period gown and stumbled upon the store while browsing. Arwen’s Creations has a huge selection of high quality medieval, fantasy, and cultural attire. The clothing comes in various colors and styles, many of which can be layered for different looks. Demos can be acquired and tried on at the in world store. The detail of the clothing is beautiful, pictures really don’t do it justice. I’m wearing the Nataliya Fitmesh Gown in Celestial Black which moves beautifully with every step, lean, or stretch. It even came with the headpiece! I highly recommend checking these products out for yourself.

Hair – TRUTH

TRUTH really does make a product for every look. Today’s hair is Fire in Light Blondes. It was created for the Epiphany gacha event in early 2017. While the event has ended the gacha is still available in store. If games of chance aren’t your thing feel free to browse TRUTH’s directly purchasable hairs. All include demos and HUDs for the perfect match.

I also strongly encourage anyone who finds themselves wanting more than one hair style to invest in the TRUTH VIP group. It’s currently L$350 to join. You get free new hair every month (Generally in two styles!). Each hair comes with all the TRUTH colors. The TRUTH VIP hairs are exclusive to VIP members; they cannot be obtained if you aren’t VIP. There are also group gifts sitting on a table on the right when you enter the store. TRUTH is currently expanding into clothing and perhaps more, so get in group to keep up with all the latest news, too!
