The Flaming Leather Witch Hat and Duster are made with lots of custom sculpties. The hat itself is a large sculptie and all the little chrome-plated skulls forming the band are sculpties so their shininess looks very nice. The duster has five sculpties, one for the collar, one each for the shoulders, and one each […]

I don’t think these entries are really in chronological order. Now that I think about it, I think I made the Topter Hat before I made the first version of the BroomCycle since they both use the same script technique for detecting when the player begins and ends flying. The Topter Hat is a top […]

People kept asking for a male version of my clockwork skin and I finally got around to modifying it to match. This involved developing a new set of lightmaps, redesigning much of the torso and hip area, and a lot of experimenting with the face since I wanted a more chiseled look there for the […]

Not everything I create is clockwork/steampunk. I’m glad that people are enjoying my clockwork creations and I appreciate the support of the steampunk community very much.

When you walk, the stride of your legs does not reflect the tight skirt, resulting in unpleasant stretching and distortion of the skirt. Ideally, you would want your stride to be restricted, causing you to take smaller steps, when wearing a […]

About this time, I was really starting to get the hang of sculpties. I had used one small for a part in my Clockwork Brain but that was a simple shape that was very close to radial symmetry. Next I wanted to try something a little more challenging. Inspired by Paradise Kiss and Gunnm, I […]

One of my first creations for Curio Obscura is still one of my most popular – The Clockwork Automaton Lady skin. This is a robot skin in an old-fashioned clockwork style. While developing this skin, I spent a lot of time looking at Jules Vernes-inspired works and other memorable clockwork robots, including Doctor Who, Howl’s […]

My very first creation for Curio Obscura was the Clockwork Brain. The idea for this came when I was tinkering with prim shoes and learned about the invisiprim technique which many SL cobblers use to hide parts of the avatar foot to accomodate different shapes for prim shoes. As I tinkered with the invisiprim, I […]
