Enya & Rose

Gorgeousness again abounds as Sophistishapes launch two luscious new girls, Enya & Rose.  It's no secret I'm very impressed with the magic Sophia creates when she makes her shapes - but I actually already HAVE the fatpack of one of the skins she's used here, and didn't recognise it - it looks *that* different on the shape she's created for it.  When you think about that, it's no wonder she's an official shape designer for Belleza - they both do exceptional work in their field.

Enya is another dark haired beauty - I've started to find a real affinity with what Sophistishapes offers in dark haired styling - and it's a real makeover for me from months of blonde.  Sophia uses all her skills in style and design to make a really complete, rounded Avatar to be proud to be seen wearing.  Wear the shape, follow the style card for the skin, hair, eyes etc and you're ready to go.

Rose takes us back to the lovely blondes - take a look at the smooth curve to her chin - it's a signature of Sophia's that she goes through and takes out the harsh angles SL can give with it's 3D shaping.  You can be absolutely sure of any product you buy from Sophistishapes, the effort put into every offering is spot on.

A day in the life of Maria... (Pt. 1)

I mentioned to Sophia that people might be interested in seeing some of her shapes out 'in the real (second) world' - so here's the first in a random series of shots with 'A day in the life of''.  I've started with Maria 'cos she's my everyday shape - dressed here in a collection of pieces from Aoharu and Bax ankle boots.

A Sophistishapes shape and style card really is a one stop solution to looking good in SL - leaving it up to you to add your own choice of clothing for a final look.  The Cami Tank set below is from W.O.E. - lovely stuff, simple yet stunning for a day in the sun:

 

One last shot, taken in my studio, to show you the detail in the face for Maria.  Sophia does a brilliant job of bringing every skin she works with completely to life:

Marcus and Anton - The boys are back in town

Mmmmmm, eye candy for Jess - I *so* love getting new guys from Sophia :)  I've gotta admit though, out of these two, Anton definitely has me - he's just got the bad boy come nice guy look that tantalises - not to mention a lush, lean frame, gorgeous hair and lovely eyes.  Sophistishapes is really getting a great catalogue with a broad variety of shapes and styles for guys and girls - and if you really can't find anything you like, contact Sophia, she does wonderful customs, too.

 

Just look at the gorgeous body art on Anton - such a dream of a man.  I love the fact that all of Sophistishapes shapes offer excellent shape and definition without being musclebound - I haven't seen one of Sophia's Avi's that I wouldn't happily drag off to bed - or maybe even just the floor in front of the sofa. *giggles* 

Sophistishapes is an official supplier of shapes to suit Belleza's skins - you can see a range in the Belleza store - so you can be absolutely assured that you're getting a top notch shape everytime - Sophia's grounding in shape, form, and making a stunning avatar in Second Life is spot on.

Youtube video production by Suede Sixpence for Sophistishapes

Rebecca, Willow, and Chloe for free...

Sophia has been at it again, bringing out two new stunners, Rebecca, a luscious red head, and Willow, a beautiful blonde.  As always, these new releases from Sophistishapes come with shapes for everyday wear and a 'skirt' edition, fully modifiable, plus a styling card giving you the details on making your avatar look as good as the image you see.  Sophia creates a perfectly matched shape to the skins she works with, to give a result that's second to none.

 

As you can see, Sophia puts a lot of effort into making sure the lines all work - no sharp edges to the curves, no improbable bulges - the shape you get will be lush and feminine, and matched impeccably to the skin it's designed for.  A range of additional prefitted eyelashes in collaboration with Talon Faire allow you to add custom features to your Sophistishape shape.

Have a Happy New (Oh) Yeah!!

Well, if Christmas didn't bring you all you wanted, let Sophistishapes make sure you start 2010 off on the right foot with Kane and Belle, two of Sophia's best offerings yet.

Kane, as you can see, is just luscious - lovely muscle definition and form without being a hulking lumpy body builder, striking eyes, a beautiful strong chin and such kissable lips.  I'm pretty sure if you look up 'hot guy' in the SL dictionary, you'll find a pic of Kane *right* there.

Belle's another stunner from Sophistishapes - I *must* admit she hasn't managed to shift me from my addiction to Maria, but I HAVE met someone wearing Belle in SL, and she is gorgeous.  I love Sophia's attention to detail with all her shapes, and Belle is another example of just how well she does her magic.

It's not just the effort in the shapes though - it's also how she manages to absolutely make the most from each skin she ties them in with - everytime there's a new release, I find it hard to find anything that could really be improved - as a stylist, her work is just incredible.  This is also reflected in the recent news of Sophistishapes collaboration with Belleza - Tricky has been doing incredible things with skins and now Sophia is creating wonderful alternate shapes to work with them.  When you find two names both of whom are at the top of their fields working together, amazing things happen.

Talon Faire has also produced a range of eyelashes that are pre-fitted to your favourite Sophistishapes shape - forget all the mucking around making a prim fit properly, these babies fit first time, every time, and give you the long, lush look you've been craving.  I have, in my time in Second Life, got quite good at editing where things sit, but I've gotta say it's worth *every* linden cent to be able to just put 'em straight on.

So, here we are... it's two thousand and ten... twenty ten??  The 'Tenties??  The Ten's?? hmmmmm, what ever you call it, it's a new year - maybe it's time for a new look, too - guys, girls, come on down to Sophistishapes, Sophia has something for everyone.
