Also true.

Could just be a language issue--fellow's Turkish, and I know many people who can barely speak one language, let alone two, give those who are more comfortable with their native tongue grief over it. And it's not like I have a landmark so I can avoid his whatever it is, but wau. What an intro in a shopping group.


Okay! BIG HONKIN' SWORD time! And this one's going to be weird, because Em's meat component faw down go boom last night, and, well...kind of distracted from that. Soanyway...



Ignore the poseballs. I was doing a photography run with a friend, and she pulled out a sword, and I thought, hey, I have this thing I was going to cover from /Vae Victis\...so, I went with it. So this is it right out of the box, unsized or moved. (Though I did learn--because I was curious--how low will this go...and no lie, this one can shrink to the size of a letter opener if you want. You could give a little mouse soldier the bestest ever sword for teensy battles.)



On me, the sword tip sinks into the floor in this pose, which is why I cropped it closer to the handle. Still. It's very impressive.



Using all the greens makes it look like the greatsword is carved out of solid emerald.



Another detail shot, and while I'm likely more suited to carry the Pandora dagger, I can't deny feeling a little thrill carting around this massive greatsword.



This is one of the four shoulder/back holds for the greatsword. It also drops the tip into the ground by a bit, but I'm more impressed by the fact that the shoulder holds, and the back positions, are all matched to my shoulders. I still think drawing a sword this long out of a sheath by hand would result in some awkward body movements, to say the least, but it looks very cool.



And can I say, while I didn't have a lot of posing opportunities at the event I was wandering (either Cyberpunk or Mainframe, not really sure, I failed to capture the SLUrl), the poses I did find worked as intended, and the sword worked as intended. Very cool.



All in all, it's a thing of beauty, and I didn't even show half the color potentials for this one. And the pose HUD also gives a lot of different potential stands.

It's out now at The Warehouse Sale. It has fourteen different shades to color individual sections, and eleven separate hold animations. And all of this could be yours for L$495!

[Update before posting--I began this on February 26th, added two pictures then, then was waylaid for a while, kept staggering towards the goal, and am finally posting it tonight. So, while I usually stay with the date when I begin a thing, I think it's only fair to say this was substantially delayed.]

[Oh, and it's still available at the Warehouse Sale.]
