Intro from a Skinner

Posted by sezmra on April 9, 2008

Greetings! Thanks to iheartsl admins for having me here.

My name is Sezmra Svarog! I’ve decided to join the group here as a skin designer and not a fashionista. Honestly, I’m nowhere near as fashionable as the lovely people blogging for you at iheartsl. No, I’m more of a painter. A body painter. Nay, a sculptor! Yeah, that sounds fancier, doesn’t it?

I am the sole proprietor of Nora BodySkins & Fashions (fashions being like, a technicality of the name!), and have done so for almost four years. Some of you may read my personal blog http://slife.sezmra.com already. That’s fine!

Here at iheart, though, I’m going to spend my blogging time as a skin designer who offers you skin reviews(put the torches down!), as well as tutorials involving all things BODY. Well, all things Body that I have experience with! I also plan to work on a skin tutorial for a basic skin so that you(future skinners maybe!) can see what goes into it, how to make it yourself, or to practice. These will take a lot of time to put together, so be patient! I’ll start working on them after next week and will post them as I finish. Be aware that some graphics program experience will be handy to have when referring to these tuts.

As far as skin reviews, those will be occasional, treated with respect, and written with positive thinking. I find it interesting that skin reviews are kind of few and far between in comparison to fashion reviews. I think some of us tend to take criticism too personally when it comes to skins. That is probably due to the fact that someone’s skin is just that - skin. It’s an intimate part of the Avatar, a part that is sometimes taken for granted and at the same time has the biggest impact. Unless, of course, you have a prim based avatar. I don’t intend to be snarky with any skin reviews. I am a skin designer myself and have no desire to create ill will. Besides, what I think isn’t LAW - it’s what I think.

Plus, I run a quiet business and like it that way. :)

So, I’m rambling and will end this with a “IHEARTSL”!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness

Tentatively dipping a toe in the blogging pool to test the waters; ok so really I am splashing around in it. I’m finding it a little hard to break into the blogging mainstream one because you are faced with a moderator who will NEVER respond or one who places so many rules on the feed you dejectedly slither away to the hole from whenst you must have come. I so loved i[heart]…um…soluble liquids.

Cheers to Gogo for making this lovely group blog for us hungry little bloggers. I am about to shamelessly pedal myself to you all. FashionAscension is my blog about random goodness in the form of fashion that I love and other little oddities. OK, I leave you with random picture of me, with a giant cup of coffee and a very pink primmy poodle.

I'm just walkin' my dog
