Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Insula Aureliana

November 08, 2025

A mule waits on the outside the insulae, the early morning light slowly spreading across the street and waiting for the city to wake up.

Insula Aureliana is another entry in Del-ka Aedilis Rome Series. It is a thoughtful reconstruction of a multi-storey apartment house, the kind that once dominated the crowded quarters of Rome’s cities. It combines function and grace, with stucco walls washed in ochre tones, arched porticos at ground level, wooden balconies above. The mural work along the façade, inspired by surviving frescoes, lends the whole structure a sense of living antiquity. In the soft evening light of a PBR environment, the materials respond beautifully.

I have set it against the Roman streets by Fanatik and added some additional props from Del-kae Aedilis, such as the with devotional shrines and some amphorae. The mule is of course from Teegle.

Strange Companions

September 28, 2025

They wander through the misty woods together, the horse wearing saddle and bridle but with no rider in sight and a tattered shroud covering much of its curious, shining coat, the black wolf padding along at its side in silence but with unnerving awareness in its eyes.

A final post to say farewell to this year’s Dog & Pony Show, ending in just a few days. I am wearing the final new Teegle release, the Wolf Avatar, and I’ve prettied up my Pegasus (wings hidden) with the spooky Nitemare Shroud from Static (you’ll want this one for Halloween, for sure) and one of the gorgeous fantasy coats from Auro. These come in glitter and non-glitter versions and have both PBR and fallback textures.

Hanging Out At the Barn

September 12, 2025

The Dog & Pony Show is still going strong, with some of the brands putting out additional new releases as the halftime approaches. For my second feature of the event, I decided to setup a classy barn courtesy of The Domineaux Effect to showcase the regular and limited edition of the new American Miniature Horse as well as some gorgeous new coats form Aetheriel. I also dressed up in the new casual rider outfit from Salt & Pepper.

Its Teegletime Again

September 03, 2025

Until September 28th, you can visit the annual Dog & Pony Show for all things Teegle, including two brand new Teeglepets with a limited edition of each as well. One of the is “Freyja” the Icelandic Horse and given the name (and the breed) it had to be my choice for what to feature first. As it happened, it also fit really well together with the newest release from Del-ka Aedilis for We Love Role-Play, which opens on the 4th of September. The Jarnvidr Longall is a beautiful Norse building, which richly decorated wood and plenty of space to entertain your guests in true Viking style. It is available in a summer version (seen in the video) and a winter version with snow covering.
