In Gothic Solitude
Welcome back to Otherworldly, now finally on its own domain that I have been sitting on for years. And to celebrate that, a new and more modern web design, a collaboration between myself and a very helpful fellow called ChatGPT. There are a few little tweaks left here and there, but I am amazed how smooth the process was and I am excited to get back to blogging in fresh, new surroundings. Of course, I may be slightly distracted by an urge to also redesign my other two sites…
Anyways! Since I finally had some time to play around in SL again, I went over to the Midnight Order event and had to resist the urge to buy every other item on sale. It really is one of the best of the currently active events, drawing in some top notch creators who always deliver interesting designs. Lore, for example, has two beautiful skyboxes at the event, one dark (that would be the one I am using here) and one light. I can see plenty of use for both of them, they have a versatile layout and I really like that the scale is quite reasonable for SL. They are also very beautifully textured with PBR textures and projectors; the stained glass windows look amazing.
The chairs, the table and the rug you might glimpse in the first shot are all by Libertine and available at Midnight Order as well, the rug being a special gift. The gothic Canterbury Chairs are available in two versions, one that sits a single person and one that also includes Moderate and Adult couple poses. Each version offers four beautiful PBR-compatible wood textures.
My outfit is not new, but I actually failed to show off the beautiful Dyanna dress from Old Treasures when I first bought it some months back. Its a fantastic fantasy/period gown and the Mathilde choker, also from Old Treasures, is a perfect accessory for it. And the hair, Magika’s Four of Swords, is a favourite I am happy to return to again.
