Hella @Hella

Hello Hella,

We are so happy to have you join our community of artists at the Art Factory. Your images are hauntingly beautiful. What is the inspiration for your art?

“About my inspiration it's about the feeling in a present situation, always in the NOW, we can call this "états d'âmes" in French, "states of mind" in English ? “

Your art is a visual representation of current feelings and moods? That is so interesting. Do you have other galleries or exhibits in OpenSim or in Second Life?

“For my art in physical life, it's another route that I don't mix with virtual worlds.
For the photos, which relate only to life in SL and Opensim, I only exhibit on Flickr and in Opensim. Many captures, come from the world of SL and since 6 months, taken in Opensim.”

I have followed your Flickr for a long time now and look forward to seeing your posts. Hella, what do you enjoy about your art inworld?

“Art changes my frequency and makes my life a dream. In the virtual world as in life, practicing an art is a pure expression of oneself and it feels good to do good :)”

Ernest and I are overjoyed to have you join the Art Factory community. Would you tell our readers how you got involved in the project?

“Art Factory is the first place I visited that challenged me, I took some pictures from elsewhere that I put on Flickr, months ago. The Thirza Safari Tour allowed me to rediscover the Art Factory region and to meet Ellen and Ernest "in person", I had had some contact with Ellen on Opensimworld, I was happy to meet Ellen and Ernest :)”

Thank you for taking the time for this interview, Hella. And welcome to the Art Factory community!

Oh My Gourd!
Whether you like smell and taste of pumpkin spice or not, it does bring rich and warm colors to the fall color palette. Every item in this outfit is part of a fat pack. Here's some colors you might consider using if you customize the outfit. https://bit.ly/3U8pZVx.

Also, check out "20 Fall Color Palettes for a Warm Fall Aesthetic." Many of them include colors found in the pumpkin spice palette. If you like, pick one of them to use as a guide to a broader array of color combinations. https://looka.com/blog/12-fall-color-palettes/

I was so honored to be a featured destination for the HG Safari group this week ? You can read the blog by @Thirza Ember here:

We also visited Weltraumbahnhof, a great Opensim Hub built by Nasti and Rudy Bakerly on Soul Grid. You can read about it here:

We Gotta Da Shoes Ina Da Box.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary boasts of having 151 Synonyms & Antonyms Of Imperial. To be fair, many of them are of the Imperial Peach. However, I'm wearing not a peach but an Imperial Dress. Glorious. Epic. Magnificent! And, of course, regal. It comes in gold and silver.

The outfit also has a fat-pack of 16 Ina booties. What can I say about Ina Booties except that they are ina da box.

Quite a dish! The sailing dress outfit is sweet. This outfit is spicy. Together, they are like Honey Jalapeño Bacon. Hmmmm. Bacon.

By the way, the top and shorts (fatpack) have silver studs. I made a copy of the green ones and recolored the studs to better match the rest of the outfit.

Unexpectedly Classy
I could say more about the outfit, but its a long and boring story. What I should mention is that the oh HELLO shops have been remodeled. The details of the remodel are just like the story about this outfit...not at all interesting. Just visit. But leave behind a trail of breadcrumbs as you wander lest you get lost. Beware of ducks...

New Release: Arcadia's Lace Collar-

I'm releasing a new collar for you, this is beyond a new mesh though, it's a complete revamp of every script, animation and configuration card to the point that we decided to abandon the old versioning convention and now it’s version is 2022.12.04.

This massive project was a collaboration with Okie Meow (https://opensimworld.com/user/Tentacles), without him this couldn't have been possible.

Features:

- New storage system to keep data of Owners, Trusted and Blocked people, this will work in any sim that has scripts enabled, no special permissions needed. It cleverly encodes the UUIDs into textures.

- New couples pose system, now you can modify the height of the collar wearer directly from the menu.

- New default poses for all the poses on the collar, they feature a small intro animation.

- Revamped scripts on each one of the scripts fixing bugs in RLV, menus, the leash, etc.

- New leash and particle default textures.

- New leash holder.

There are more features, too many to list here we worked very hard to give you the best collar possible, additionally I revamped the existing collars to this new version.

These changes made it backwards incompatible, so you will need to get a fresh copy of this new collar or your existing favourite Arcadia’s collar.

Happy Wednesday!

Red Alert
Maybe you've heard of oh HELLO. I assemble outfits using stuff found around the grids. If an outfit item is part of a fatpack, you get all of them. Plus, a preset body alpha HUD is included. How cool is that? This outfit is a cheerful update of a rather morose looking one. Also cool.

Hello everyone!! I just want to share that we have opened up a new part of our Surreal Galley on our AI Dreams in Art world. The movie plays our video, "Klara" in parcel media, so just allow media (video) to auto play and it will begin. The YouTube version can be found here. I hope you will enjoy it, wherever you see it, but inworld is very immersive. It's something very different:) https://youtu.be/vayrLlO8DeM

New Shop at Arcadia: The Kinky Shop.

It's my pleasure to announce a new shop at the sim, Kinky Shop is the official Kinky Hub shop in OSG (stay tuned for other grids).

Along with Okie Meow we will release everything related to OS Collar at this new place and announce the releases and news at the Kinky Hub group (yes! it's back and you can join it by clicking the sign in the shop).

The Shop is at the Arcadia Shop sim, so teleporting to it is easy: just use the regular landmark you have been using before, then you can either click on the sign to teleport to the Kinky Shop, fly to it, walk to it, teleport to it using the public viewer, take the monorail to it, etc.

The OS Collar (we call it OSC from now on), different models, applications, extensions, HUDs and accessories are the latest ones so you can have the best possible experience in OSG as collar wearer/user.

Happy Thursday!

(pst, stay tuned for another announcement later)

Update about the collars and the updater:

As I mentioned before, I released an updater in the box of the collars that is humm... updated.

Well, it turns out that updater will break the collars!, so I removed it from the shop for now until I discover what's going on exactly. But fret not, I also upgraded the collars with the latest (working) RLV system, so for now the collars I have on the shop are the most updated ones that work.

When and if I have news about the collars I'll let you know. For now just get the latest and fixed-est copy from the shop, and don't try and update to 7.0.1 it'll break your collar.

Kinky Shop new Release: The Moon Leashpost.

A whimsical new Leashpost for your sub, ideal for fantasy sims and non conventional setups, you can also add it to the collar (read the instructions).

Happy Monday!

Let's face it, things get completely MAD in the Hypergrid.
From technology glitches to virtual relationships it can get wacky. So in this light, we thought it would be fun to share those times here with Comics so that we all can have a bit of stress relief! https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...
