I'm pleased with how the Sylph ears turned out, and how they've been received so far. They're selling better than they ever have, and I'm so happy to see so many fairies and pixies living their best big eared lives. I've been enjoying seeing the pictures shared on Primfeed of people rocking them. Something I've noticed, though, is how popular gauged ears are, especially the ones by Luciayes Magic of Swallow. So I decided to do some trial and error, and adapt the Sylph ears into a gauged version you can wear with plugs.
It only took me about thirty tries to get the ear lobes just right! It actually wasn't so bad, just a lot of tiny little tweaks and peering at a side by side of Blender and my avi on Aditi. The result is that I've tried about a dozen different ear plugs designed for the Swallow XL gauged ears from about seven different creators, and seem to have managed to get them to line up just right. There are new bases, highlights and shading layers, but they still let you use your Evo X ear skins included with your skins. With the big hole in your ear, they now have a seam on the inside of the ear lobe, but I've added another BoM layer seam fix if your plugs/gauges happen to expose it. Oh, and since I forgot to mention it last time, these DO include both the male and female fits for LeLUTKA mesh heads.
I'm also updating the non-gauged Sylph ears with a couple more tintable skin bases, due to some issues with color matching on darker skins.
In my excitement to get the Sylph ears out, I forgot to mention I have been experimenting with open source PBR materials, so I
updated the Agatha Witch's hat to try them out. The felt looks very
nice and much more realistic with lighting now. However, since some
people were having issues on viewers that aren't PBR
compatible yet, I included the original hat as well. There's also a free mask out right now at my Shop & Hop stall. Don't forget to swing by before Nov 4th to grab your copy!
