[10:02 AM] Celtic Infinity curtsies
[10:03 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[10:04 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.

[10:55 AM] ? Matticus Merrow ? (Matticus Merrow): My design is an applier HUD for the aii riptide tail that makes your fins look like…well..FRINGE! I completely redid the current fin maps by hand (RIP my mouse clicker fingers) I also blended the tail with leather materials so it makes for a very interesting design. It comes in four colors and a fatpack exclusive – two of which are themed after cowboy barbie and ken (LOL!)

I also redid the fin shape on this one as well to be more scallop and playful.
[10:56 AM] ? Matticus Merrow ? (Matticus Merrow): The design of this one was inspired by the source material, chapter 20 in the wizard of Oz “dainty china country” where everything is made from delicate porcelain and china and sometimes cracked.
[10:56 AM] ? Matticus Merrow ? (Matticus Merrow): Speaking of cracked – my 75L item this round is “cracked” a BOM overlay skin layer that makes your skin – you guessed it – CRACKED. This was really fun to make and has been a best seller so far!
