I've been missing lately, and not my usual "lurking in the shadows being selectively social" missing. Life is a little unpredictable right now for me. This has unexpectedly taught me a few things, One - I really dislike being on the 12th floor of a building and Two - Though I can't control a lot of things right now, I can adapt (even if kicking and screaming). I got knocked down a few pegs because life in Canada isn't cheap, but I'm slowly getting back on my feet again with a new perspective. I can't make big promises, however I can promise both stores will be laiden with spooky season fun, and should I be moving again I may once again go spirit box silent... BUT if you were wondering: Yes we are doing ok, and yes I am still actively creating.
It has been so nice to work on things other than low-poly only again 🥹 These took me about 4 hours start to finish with 3 wax sets and 4 glass colours interchangeable (accounting for wandering away distracted)
Happy Pride! You are seen, valid, and loved! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Shh, dont make it awkward. I know I've neglected this blog.
Now that THAT is out of the way.
Life has been life-y, things have been up and down, and I tend to go quiet in those times because that's just how I function. Let's start with all the changes and news jumbled in one.
There will be a branding change happening. C&C and HAUNT are staying the same. The only somewhat change is I have been holding on to "Immortal Reality" as a main rl buisness name for well over a year and it has just never been the right time to begin that reorganization because life was so chaotic... not that it's calm now, but it is calm-er. So with that said, various socials will be taking on this moniker and sites, but rest assured, the stores are still their own entities - just functioning under a single buisness heart in and out of Second Life.
Some may have also noticed that I have dropped the name Gloom and taken the name Grey and Greyson. There is a layer cake to this, but the short and long is: between personal identity, conflicts of buisness visibility, and separation of work, media, and self, it was just the right thing for me to do.
Now for the super exciting bit. After almost 9 years of creating for various platforms on tech that was simply not meant for what I made it do... I have received a new rig! What does this mean... way too much to ramble in here, but I am no longer gated by my level of technology anymore and can continue to grow my skill sets.
I have been taking commissions from previous clients for a while quietly but once things are a bit more settles and I get June's events out of the way I will be updating my ToS and opening channels for new commissions.
I have a terrible habit of being distracted and procrastinating sometimes, but unfortunately (or fortunately). Twitter has become a very depressing and bloated social for me mentally. Alongside Flickr now cracking down again on Second Life creators for subscription to pro and types of media posted, Tumblr honestly just offers a much more openly accessible and functional space for my work and social connection. So, over the next while, I apologize as I get things back in order, post some recent releases, and settle in properly.
So I have wicked insomnia as usual, now 5am ramble, BUT I did get thoes planchet weight gifts in world tonight and all they need is a vendor ad. Plus I made some more stuff because... too many ideas.
So I have been literally reading up on how to use this site and terms and all that stuff because I didn't want to flop around like a dead fish.
I think I have a good grasp? but don't get your hopes up...
So here is a proper(?) full post and I will just shamelessly remind you what I currently have released right now...
These coffin frames are still available for FREE at the Crypt Crawl hunt for another 2 days! They will then be yeeted into the main store stock.
VHS nostalgia is at Tokyo Zero with 6 themed packs of light-up VHS lights or a ridiculous pack of all 30.
And at The Grid a quintessential minimal segment ring set of earrings and septum rings. These are rigged for Swallow Gauged S & Swallow Dropped Ears, as well as a static set for other heads and uses. The septums come in thick and thin styles.
Bear with me as I learn all this new stuff and drown in the process.
