I couldn't resist, it pulled me in...



Life would be much simpler if I just had one look, and could stick with it, but... no.

From Medieval fantasy to Science fantasy, I 've had this one for a while, but I loved the paladin outfit so much I just had to write it up straight away.


I've had my Eye on Graves store since I discovered it scouting locations for my Cyberpunk post. I held off for a while because their outfits aren't cheap, and don't include footwear. After window shopping for a long time, I saw a group notice advertising an upcoming release - Gravity.
It really appealed to me, but the lack of boots still put me off. The helpful people in the Graves group assured me the boots sold elsewhere in the store would match, but they all had heels, and as I've said in the past, heels are fine for fashion outfits, but if I'm going for a utilitarian or tough girl look, I want flats.

In the end, my desire to have it outweighed my reservations, and I bought it, deciding to worry about finding matching shoes elsewhere. Luckily I found some 'Tron' Boots that almost met my needs entirely, and since they were mod-able, I was able to de-tint & de-glow them. They aren't as detailed as the rest of the outfit, but they are nice, and dark colours mask a multitude of sins. You'd have to look closely to tell.

  


The outfit itself is excellent, the clothing layers come in just about every conceivable combination, and all the highly detailed prim attachments come with deletable resize scripts so you can get the perfect fit.

There are several colours available, I couldn't decide between the Grey and the Transparent, so I went for grey and picked up a much cheaper transparent latex underwear layer for another outfit elsewhere in the store. Its not a perfect match but its pretty close.

I wanted a bit of an 'android' look, so I added my 'vampire' skin with a dark blue lipstick layer, and glowing blue dune-style Desert runner 'mystic' eyes.
For hair I tried some white prim hair in a bob cut. But next to the detailed clothing it looked horrible (And Imogen said it'd be better in Black too). I found some nice flexi hair at Wasabi Pills, and was about to buy it when I realised I could have either a blacks pack or a whites pack but I'd have to pay twice for both. So I took off to Truth where I could find a similar style - Skyla with blacks and whites in a single pack. (Turns out Imogen was right as well).


I'm really pleased with this outfit. It's more straight sci-fi than my previous cyberpunk outfits, and it's a great base for other outfits (as I'll demonstrate in an upcoming post).
