I’m delighted to introduce two different types of faeries in my faery collection: Maritza Ice Rogue Faery Warrior and Matava Child Male Faery.

Come see them for yourself in the Atea Avatars store. You’ll find the new faeries in the fantasy section of the store, ground floor, under “new avatars”. Maritza is to the right of the store, and Matava is in the middle, to the left of the stairs.

Maritza Ice Rogue Faery Warrior

Maritza Ice Rogue Faery Warrior is a complete avatar, with custom fae skin, fantasy makeup, faery shape, hair, faery eyes, faery ears, full rogue warrior outfit, sword, 2 pairs of boots, and scripted flexi-wings. Also includes prim eyelashes, a facelight, and ice faery dust and mist.

Maritza is a rogue faery warrior trained in the use of weaponry and skilled in fighting. She is also skilled in faery magics, and though light in appearance, can be a formidable opponent.

Matava Child Male faery Avatar

Matava Child Male Faery is a complete child faery avatar, with custom aqua and flame fae skin, fantasy makeup, shape, hair, eyes, faery ears, outfit, faery boots, dagger, faery effects, and scripted flexi-wings. Also includes prim eyelashes and facelight.

Matava is the son of the Matai Aqua Male Faery and the Mahina Fire Faery. He inherited his aqua skin tone from his father, with fiery highlights from his mother. Flame features highlight his face and his skin. His eyes are saturated in aqua drops, but surrounded by flames. His wings and hair have the combined aqua and flame colors, and his chest is highlighted with aqua drops along with fiery flames.

The interesting thing about creating avatars in Second Life is that I never really know which avatar might appeal to Second Life residents. Sometimes I create an avatar that I personally love but for some reason isn’t really popular and doesn’t sell well. Other times, I create an avatar or a series that appeals to a broad audience or attracts a niche. In the case of my fantasy avatars, the faery queen series is quite popular.

Before making the faery queens, I made a very basic faery that I called Maeva.

She was my first attempt at a fantasy avatar and, though lovely, nowhere near as complex and interesting, in my mind, as the faery queens.

I was actually going to retire her after releasing the faery queens. However, one of my customers talked me out of that, explaining that she was a great starter faery for newcomers to fantasy avatars. Here’s the interesting part: once the faery queens went up and attracted a strong following, little Maeva also started to attract a following of her own and became a very popular item.

I thought it was time to create a few sisters for Maeva. Here there are:

Mauve Lavendar Faery

Matahina Blue Faery

Come see them for yourself at the Atea Avatars Mainstore. Stop for a while and take a stroll though the pathway in the faery forest. If you explore the Atea Avatars grounds you might just find the faery queen’s residence. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Qissence/121/97/49
