COMBO BREAKER-- a brief break from Buy Mode Blitz for clothing, because I could get shots of the clothing but I noticed some things that I did not install properly so I couldn't get screenshots of them without restarting my game. Because that's how it goes sometimes.



And these have been sitting in my Projects Folder since 2016, not even started, which is terribly unfair because they were way easier than I expected.

So, my first stop for visual inspiration is always Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, especially the calendar section (showing not only the Duke de Berry and his companions, but commoners as well). January in particular is a gorgeous image for what I'm bringing you today, because it is full of richly-dressed noble men at a New Year's party. They got chains of state, they got chaperons and bag hats, they got some funky haircuts, they got kidney bags and bollock daggers, they got two servants in livery, they got dagged hoods and cowls, they got fur lining, they got damask and cloth-of-gold and embroidery, they got a greyhound in a collar, they got plaited rush mats on the floor, they got a wicker fire screen, they got a danged tourney happening in the background, and except on the two liveried servants?

Every visible foot is in soled hosen. ( Read more! )






Behold the Tip Jar!


In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. I don't do pay content and I can't seem to get requests done in a timely fashion, so donors get a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery (you help feed my cats, you get to see lots and lots of pictures of my cats) and my to-do list Google doc, in case there's anything on there that makes a donor go 'oooh, when are you working on that one?'

Gosling Army: Hat's 2010 and 2011 Heraldic GoS Advent Gifts

In a continuing effort to back up my Garden of Shadows exclusives to Dreamwidth, without just duplicating the original posts where they're actually MEANT to be exclusive, here are the goodies that got heraldry of one sort or another.



I am an utter nut for heraldry, and when I got invited to participate in the first Garden of Shadows advent back in 2010, somehow my brain decided heraldic stuff was entirely logical. GoS already had a perfectly cromulent color scheme (that blue is azure in Medieval heraldry (when all blues were azure), but bleu celeste later on), and plenty of charges to choose from... but you'd be amazed how hard it is to find decent line-drawings of baby geese suitable for silly heraldic purposes.

Alfred Askew drew the gosling. Alfi rocks. Okay, let's get to the goodies.

( There's some Pooklet'd furniture in here, too. )



In 2010, I had Plans, so many PLANS, to slap that heraldic device all over every banner, pennant, tapestry, and shield I could find. These plans... did not come to fruition. 2011 was kinder, sort of. I even built a special lot to show off everything! (Okay, I plonked down my favorite self-sufficient outpost-fortress lot and slapped bleu celeste all over it.) The following actually DOESN'T represent the full on Heraldry Project, either. Someday! Promise! In the meantime...

( Welcome to Castle GoS! )







Wanna help me feed my cats?


In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. Donors get two things at the moment: a) a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery, full of pictures of the cats you'll be feeding, updated sporadically when the cats do something photogenic and I'm fast enough on the trigger to catch it, and b) a link to the list of content I have done-but-not-screencapped, nearly done, partly done, or in the planning stages, and the option to suggest what ought to be in the next batch of things I focus on.
