YER A WIZZARD

Wizzard Medium

I really love it when Damien Fate departs from his usual work making ordinary clothing to make themed roleplay goods. But I finally got around to trying on this set I bought a while ago and I have to say this one is especially sweet!! This Quidditch set is well made like everything he makes, but I got all excited when I was reading about the features in the notecard. Let me explain.

Wizzard Full

When I am standing up, the cape hangs straight, like in this picture. When flying on the scripted broom, it flies out behind me. (Sorry I couldn't get a decent picture of that.) If I stop and hover on the broom, the cape bunches up over the back of the broomstick as showing in the next picture. Animated mesh!! *squeeeee*

STILL LIFE WITH FERRETS

Get real. If there is one thing ferrets never are, it's STILL. But they make me happy the way animals do. Just having an easy day in a casual outfit. The glasses, shirt and jeans are all in one, but you can also wear the jeans alone with something else. It comes with a HUD that changes the colors of each piece.

The shoes too, you can change the colors of the boot, heel, sole, elastic, and the socks. I used an extra HUD to get the vintage print on the socks. I love choices!!

NEVERMORE

Nevermore Medium

Gothic isn't always dressed down. It can also have all the sophistication of this marbled-fabric gown, embellished with fur, feathers, and jewels. (It doesn't show in these photos, but there is also a feathered fan on my tush.) I am perfectly gowned for some dark ballroom among the unseelie or the vampire clans.

Another sweet outfit inspired by the dark goings on over at World Goth Fair. Many of the goods like this dress and boots are equipped with texture change HUDs, which make it so much easier to coordinate an outfit in colors of your liking. I punked it up reminiscent of 1980's style with the jacket, which made me think ...

THE ROAD WARRIOR

Road Warrior Full

With the new Mad Max movie coming out, it was fun to see Road Warrior - inspired gear at the new post-apocalyptic quarterly event called "The End". I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with coming installments of the event, which will return in July. FATEwear's Max and Tina sets are lovely but they have returned to the main store on Fate Island. (I really love well made roleplay-style gear!)

Road Warrior Closeup

Of course the set comes in different color combinations, sizes, and so on as we have come to expect from all of Damien Fate's work, including a desert-camo styled set that looks more military. And this great bandanna ties over my nose to keep out all that dust and road debris.

Road Warrior Boots

And yes spurs. Why not? Good for fightin'.
