New posters for Hair Fair






The first thing I did for these was make a little logo. It is Jolie Femme with a little piece of hair underneath.
I then made all of the background a bit brighter and the border only on the bottom. The permissions are easier to see also.
They will possibly change, but wants to comment on them, go ahead. I open to suggestions.

Danielle Preview

I hope this turned out. I put in many hours and its the last style I will make for the Hair Fair. This will be the fifth.
I'm a bit worried, its 116 prims. It moves really well once its rezzed. The hair is mostly sculpted including the curls. So it shouldn't lag as much as curled up torus.
I need to make some better photos in the next couple of days. Then after that, what should I do?
I was thinking of making some hair accessories. I'm burnt out making hair. I know I made only 4 1/2 styles in the last month compared to some designers who make much more than that. I will not rush though. No need to. I want to make the hair as well as I can. When I find better ways, it usually means that it will need to take longer.
Compared to a year ago when I was making hair much faster, it wasn't as good. I'd rather make better hair. End of my little discussion. :-)
I am happy with this one like I was happy when I finished Audrey II. Now I'm not happy because these Hair Fair styles need to wait for another month. I actually finished much earlier than I needed too. I didn't want to be in a rush and make bad hair. :-)

Trinity for Hair Fair 2008


The potential 4th style for Hair Fair is now completed. I messed around with "gray" photos for this one pic.
This style is all sculpts except for a few tiny hairs at near the neck. The bangs come all the way from the forehead around to above the ear and then curl back up and around. Kind of difficult to explain but the photo clearly shows them.
Hair Fair is going to be in late August now. I thought it would be early August. So that is a bummer because I'm almost done making 5 styles. I may finish early I think. So I may put a couple of styles out before the end of August since I will be done with Hair Fair stuff. I also need to reorganize the store. It is now too full. 5 more styles won't fit anywhere. Ugh.
Please be patient for the new hair. It takes a long time to make. I even redid the long flexy hair parts to Josephine because I wasn't happy after I finished it. I end up being so picky but that just means the hair is even that much better, I would hope. I don't rush this hair out at all. I even find mistakes days after I finish a style.

Josephine


New hair done after a full two days of work. My hands are actually tired. So I'm going to take a break the rest of the day. I can barely type.
Josephine turned out well. I haven't made a style like this in quite some time if at all.
Hair fair is now slated for late August through early September so that gives me more time. Three styles are done and only two to go with two months to go. Now what? I guess I'll be able to make some hair for the store after I'm done with 5 styles (two more to go). I still have a week and a half off from real life work, so I can get plenty done in that time. Thanks for reading!

Darcy II


Here's a quick photo of Darcy II. It's very similar to Darcy I except I took off some of the flexy on the back and added tipped/burnt colors. This will be the 2nd style at the Hair Fair. It is also my first male style. I'm not sure if how many male styles I will make in the future but who knows.

Hair Fair 2008


I only took a few photos quickly so I could update my blog a bit. Hair Fair 2008 is coming up, so anything that I do make in the next month and a half will be for that.
These new styles will come with another hair pack. It was suggested by several customers that I should add some tipped/burnt hair colors and thats what I'm doing now. The total color choice will now be 50 hair colors. One other minor change also suggested by customers was for a "black" color. Nearly black will still be there but Ebony will be replaced by "black" which is much darker. Nearly Black and Ebony were very close anyways.
The style in this photo is complete. It's 100% sculpted. It won't be up until the Hair Fair.
I've been a bit slow making hair and updating my blog. I've been putting 6 day work weeks at my regular job. That will change after this week as I will have two weeks off from that job. I will be using much of my free time to make more hair and catch up so I can put up 5 new hair styles for the hair fair. I don't want to rush either. I guess I'm on a hair mission now!

Fleur


This style took a LONG time. Two main issues I'm seeing. I'm taking longer and being really picky, almost too picky. I'm also doing a lot of work in Maya. And maybe a third, experimenting.
This style is an updo style. It's a bit messy on top and flexy mixed together with torus. The main part and bangs are sculpted.
The long curly bangs took a while to figure out how to make them and it was difficult (Maya). I was happy once I uploaded them though. They look natural and its something that couldn't be done with regular prims at all.
So being that I'm not good at updos and I'd rather make the long hair I'm used too, I'm happy with this one for now.
