LED Eyes

In my continued efforts to create new and unique prims eyes I have made these LED eyes. Each of these eyes is 185 prims, and are made up of the LED lights, wires, circuits, wires, and other electrical and moving parts. All of the parts of the eyes are visible within the eye, and create a nice layered look just like I did with my Android Eyes. These new eyes are almost like an evolution of some of the ideas I used in the past. The come with only copy permissions, and to allow for resizing a resize script is included, and even if the eye is hidden inside of the avatars eye they can still easily be resized. This is because of an invisibly prim around the eye that is bigger and allows for easier clicking. Each eye also needs to be resized on its own, this allows for one eye to be a different size than the other if desired.

Now to talk about the main point of these eyes. They allow the LED lights to have different lighting orientations. These different emotes are done by simply saying the commands in open chat. The following two pictures show all the commands and the corresponding LED designs they will produce in the eyes. I really though this was clever and fun to play with.

The eyes also come in eight different color options. I am fond of the green and teal colors personally. I think each color is able to stand out though, and looks great in the eyes.

These eyes are only available in SL right now at my store Relentless Unknown as I have not yet gotten them put up on Xstreet. I just wasn't in the mood to go through the Xstreet menus late last night when I got these up, and instead just went to bed. I'll get to it someday in the future though if I don't get distracted with another build.

Natural Eyes

I made these eyes a little while ago as an experiment. I think they turned out pretty well for trying something new. These are prim eyes that have the iris and pupil inside the eye itself just like a real eye would be. I did this because when you look at an eye the iris isn't just sitting on the outside it is behind the cornea and the lens protected. So I took that idea and played with it to create these.

Eyes come available in seven colors, and the reflections from the environment on the shiny iris is able to stand out nicely. I do wonder if the red color and the pink are a bit too similar though, but better to have similar options rather than no options at all so I kept them. Life is about choices after all.

So check out these eyes and my other products including my Android Eyes at Relentless Unknown.

Glow Eyes Freebie

I have not released any freebies in a while so I made some glowing eyes. These eyes are prim and they put off a nice glow effect while a shine helps make them look a bit more real. I decided not to use Full Bright on these eyes, because it just made the eyes look like flashlights. These come with resize, and color change scripts so that even someone with no mod skills can make them look how they want. I hope they become a popular freebie. They are available in world at my store Relentless Unknown, or on Xstreet.

In other news I have just placed all seven color options of my Android Eyes up on Xstreet. After doing that whole process seven times I remember why I truly hate doing it. I also got my info box with more information and a size example in it put up on Xstreet so that my store isn't the only place for it. I wanted to make sure that nobody would ever feel like i misled them in my items minor shortcomings. To make things easy I am including a list of all the color options with urls to their Xstreet locations.

Android Eyes Green Xstreet
Android Eyes Red Xstreet
Android Eyes Grey Xstreet
Android Eyes Pink Xstreet
Android Eyes Orange Xstreet
Android Eyes Teal Xstreet
Android Eyes Blue Xstreet

I am not done yet. I have moved the store to a new location recently. The old location still exists but will be gone in a few weeks. This move is due to the sim owner raising rent without any warning. I hope this will not cause too much trouble. I have already updated all the SLurls on the blog to the new spot. This also gave me a good reason to do a small alteration to the store to make it a bit easier to navigate. Hope to see you all soon at the new location.

Android Eyes

I think I have managed to create something new for SL, and that is something that is not often said. These are android eyes that are full prim, and are made up of 80 prims. Inside the eye itself all the workings are visible and can be seen behind the lens. Circuit boards, wires, and even scripted moving parts are all visible behind a lens that comes in seven different color options. Also, because this is all prim work the details all look different depending on how they are viewed. More parts can be seen from every angle as the eye moves to look at things.

I really think this is the first time anyone has ever put parts like this inside the eye itself. I even looked on Xstreet for prim eyes, and everything there just seemed to be the regular eyes we have seen for years now. So I think I have made something new that steps away from just a texture on a prim. These eyes are only available in my store Relentless Unknown.

This is a picture of the seven color options I have come up with. Some of the detail work can also be seen in these picture, but it becomes even more apparent in the last picture. The eyes also have a nice bit of shine to them to make them stand out even more as they move around. I tried it with and without the shine, but with was a lot better to me and truly added another dimension. They truly do stand out in the brighter color, or use grey for a more realistic camera lens look.

This last picture is two of the eyes as sharper angles to help demonstrate the details inside. The little LED lights are visible, as are the wires. A hint of a computer chip is also visible in the right eye with each little prim wire protruding from it, and going into a circuit board.

I made some detailed directions for these in a note card that is given out in my store. Since these are using so many small prims for all the detail the resize script can actually go smaller than some prims can go. I have tested these to 30% smaller than the starting size they were built at and the eyes didn't lose any detail. Some prims moved ever so slightly, but they didn't change the overall look. I should also say the starting size I built them at was also very small, and don't see too many people with eyes smaller than it. I just felt it was best to make sure everyone knows what they truly are getting, and eliminate all surprises. I don't see anyone being disappointed though.

SLurl Issues Fixed

For the past few weeks I had been using my new stores SLurl, and apparently I forgot to save the updated SLurl in my blog. So every time I linked the SLurl I was using an old one that went to where my store used to be. I have now fixed the problem though, and have learned a very valuable lesson. Always save updates to the blog after making them, and maybe double check things too. This is the new SLurl for Relentless Unknown. I apologize for any problems that my mistake might have caused.

In other news, as I post this I am working on finishing up a new item. It is a set of eyes unlike anything else I have seen in SL. Just adding the finishing touches and making the color options now. I am planing on releasing these new eyes tomorrow.

A Girly Skull

I am ever so good with making names for my new items, so this one is amazingly named "Girly Skull" (I decided against the name of "Gurrly Skull"). Well this is a new face tattoo or face painting and looks like a very girly skull. Pink bows naturally make me think girl, so the name does fit. This item comes with the usual two attachment points just in case something is occupying one. It also has mod to make it easy to fit and adjust the size. Like all of my face tattoos this is only available in my store in SL for the time being, and can be reached at the usual SLurl.

Now this next item I know I released yesterday, but at the request of a friend I changed the box picture to make the actual tattoo detail a bit more visible. I also then did the same thing for the Girly Skull box when I made it. This change really does help show what is really being purchased. This also shows how much I appreciate constructive criticism.

I will always do my best to try and paint as best of a picture as possible for my items. I want everyone to know what they are getting when they buy something. Detailed pictures, and good descriptions on the boxes are the best ways I know of to do this.

Slightly Rusty

It has been a while since I have done any building other than the Eye Buttons I made a little over a month ago, so I am working the rust off so to speak. These are two new items I just made over the past two days. Both items are available now, and only in my store at this SLurl.

The first new items is a little face tattoo, or marking made to look like a first class stamp made by using a rubber stamp. This item comes with mod and copy permissions. These permissions allow for the tattoo to be made into any color, and can change the transparency just by using the SL edit tools. This like all my other face tattoos allows for tons of options.

The second new item is a bracelet designed to look like a dogs choke collar flipped backwards. This would make such an item feel more comfortable, and allows it to look a bit more mean with all the spiked sticking out. I have included Mod and Copy permissions so that it can be easily tinted and sized.

Now that I have worked the rust off my brain a bit I should be able to get to work making more new items. Hope to post again very soon.

Yay! I am not lazy

Well I finally have made myself be not as lazy and got a few more items up on Xstreet. Granted it did take me a few months but I did it. I got a majority of my most recent items up except for the tattoos and facial piercings. For those until I get to them they are only available in my store at this SLurl.


This picture is something I did not too long ago, and I kinda liked the mood it gives off. In this picture I am wearing hair by fri.day, tank top from Atomic, and pants from Luck. I hope to do more photos in the future and improve myself as I go, kinda am self taught. Hope you all like it, and I'll get back when I have other updates.

Also I am getting over my WoW addiction, so I may be around more often now.
