The Illusions FAQ!

Thanks for taking the time to read through this, hopefully I will have your answer here. If not, feel free to IM me

Do you take commissions?

I'm open to them, but I have limited time right now. I charge a "real world" rate of $25USD an hour, but if the item fits with my brand and I feel I can sell it in my store I'm negotiable on that.  I am always open to suggestions or to new ideas for my next item. I'm willing to do modifications, such as removing or swapping details or doing re-textures. Simple color adjustments or outfit matching are offered free of charge, all you need do is ask.

I'd like to blog/publish/represent your items! What's your policy?

In general I prefer that you purchase my items. I might be willing to provide promotional copies at my discretion, if I feel your aesthetic and exposure are a good fit, but I'll probably approach you. 

Are you interested in renting a store at my sim/land?

No, I'm afraid not. Unless your land has a specific theme that my items perfectly fit, please don't send me any invitations. I currently only have satellite stores at locations that have given me that space for free. 

Would you like to be a part of this shopping event?

 I would love to say yes to every fantasy or historical event on SL but I'm afraid my time is just too limited right now.  It feels sometimes I can barely keep up with the few events that I do, but thanks for thinking of me.


I'm interested in getting into 3D modeling for SL. What do you use to model?

I use a blend of Zbrush and Blender.  My workflow usually consists of doing the base mesh and UV's in Blender, and then taking it into Zbrush for refinement and detail.  Different programs have different vibes though, and some might be easier for you to learn than others. Take a look at the SL Wiki's page on 3d rendering programs for a list.

I love a mask that a character wears in ____. Could you make it for me?

No. I won't recreate anyone's intellectual property without their express permission, and that includes costume designers and concept artists. I prefer to make my own items or be inspired by the concept. 

The item I'm interested in is shown being worn by a member of the opposite sex. Will it fit my avatar?

For almost all items, the answer is yes. There are a select few that were made and fitted for a specific gendered avatar, and they will be labeled as "male", "female", or with an "X" in the unisex box. However, all of my items are moddable, so there's nothing stopping you from giving it a try.
