Three Rare Roses

The Skin & Shape Expo is still going on for a few days more, until October 10th, and I have one more skin from it to share. Or rather, three more, as Rack Brautigan of Imagen released three new faces for the Expo; Irene, Mira and Niu. They are all quite lovely faces, and I could not resist pairing them with a brand-new must-have purchase: the gorgeous Varda roses from the Mistress of Accessories, Siyu Suen of Illusions.

Skins: Mira Norte, Este, Oeste and Sur Natural by Imagen
Hair: Samantha Night by Truth
Accessories: Varda Rose Necklace & Earrings and Hair Adornment by Illusions

But, let us start with the skins. For the body shots, I am featuring Mira, who is the only one released with a full set of tones; norte, este, oeste and sur. However, Irene and Niu feature the same body, if not precisely the same tones. In particular, I think that Niu’s oeste tone is a little more olive than Mira’s oeste tone.

The body has been reworked since Imagen’s previous releases, and its shading is pleasantly soft and feminine, but still with a nice amount of detailing. See for example the stomach and the back. The breasts are a little round for my tastes, but its marginal and compensated for by very nice nipples, and the bottom is quite nice, with good roundness that doesn’t make it look too flat or too small. There are some seams left, but overall its a nicely blended body.

The faces on Imagen’s skins are definitely some of the most charming out there. The leftmost image shows Irene, the two middle images show Mira and the final image shows Niu. The lovely freckles on Irene certainly sets her apart from the other two, and she’s definitely a great choice for anyone looking for a considerable amount of freckling. Mira and Niu, especially the former, seem a little more sophisticated, but still quite girly. I really like the shape of the lips on these skins, beautifully curved and not too large, but that is just to name one of many strengths of these faces. They also seem quite shape friendly, and their versatility is further increased by modifiable eyebrows.

And speaking of versatile…

The Varda roses by Illusions which further beautify these girls are quite a masterpiece of sculpting and texturing, and they are scripted with 36 different petal textures and 6 different leaf textures. And these textures are not just different shades of the same textures, but each is beautifully individualized. I am wearing the necklace & earrings and the hair adornment, but there are several more pieces available if you really want to look like a veritable rose garden. And who wouldn’t?

As you may have noticed, I am still in Truth’s Samantha hair. I really had planned on switching, but then Siyu Suen released her lovely new rose accessories, and the hair ornament just happened to fit perfectly with the hair. Which meant I had to buy the roses, and I had to stay in the hair. Oops. ;)

1. I always revel in another…

I always revel in another chance to see your tushie.  You look gorgeous, Freyja, and thank you so much for modeling the roses so beautifully.  You’re right, the hair is just way too perfect for it :D

2. Thank you, Siyu. :)

Thank you, Siyu. :)

Haven’t taken the roses off so far, and I found another hair that looks like it was made for them, so I may just have to make another post. ;)
