The Gazette Posters

From The Wildwood Gazette

I am sure many of you are really good with Photoshop, I am still learning and sometimes it is a struggle with many clicks of the undo button.

but this set of posters for the blog came together quite easily, and because I am very pleased with the end result I thought I would share with you. The photo above is the original I took in world of a sleek tabby with folded ears.

• Add the font on two separate layers in white

From The Wildwood Gazette

• On a third layer I added the features and coloured them
• I took a sample of the colour and retinted the eye of the kitty
• I slightly sharpened the whole image
• and save.. taaa... daaa..!

I did'nt do any fancy footwork on these posters, all basic, but still that is the magic of Photoshop, even the faint of heart can use it and create great stuff.
Ionae.

My Pair of Reds

From The Wildwood Gazette

Soooooooo..... of course I am just as excited as everyone else with the 1.3 kitties what secrets are hidden in them, wonderful new pelts, eye colours and the body shapes, of course these are the complete unknowns, and that is what makes it so much fun.


Here are a few photos I snapped of my personal starters from 1.3

Ears: Common
Tail: Common
Shade: Classic
Body: Common

Male
Pelt: Classic Tabby - Red
Eye: Round - Sage

Well both will be ready in 2 days so better start thinking quick.

Wildwood Store has a refit

From The Wildwood Gazette

I went over to the Wildwood store to pick up my new 1.3 starter kitties and saw the store has had a total refit, we have a new second floor with  all the edibles and cute seating area in front of the windows.

Downstairs
We have a very large display where you can purchase your new starter packs.

Also downstairs is the food for your kitties, Breeder food on one side and Pet food on the other, so it is very clear.

The Wildwood Forest Sim, Home to The Wildwood Breedables

I thought I would take you a little tour of the Wildwood Forest Sim, home to the Wildwood Breedables,

Firstly,there is a central landing point, shown below.

From The Wildwood Gazette

One of the cute features of the path is that each stepping stone lights up as you walk on it and then darkens when you pass by. You will reach a fork in the road, if you turn to your right and continue down the path you will reach the main store for the company. This building sells your starter kitty packs, as well as food, and other edibles, and most importantly the sick kitty pack, just in case something goes wrong with your little darling.Oh I almost forgot, the two boxes at the front of the store are Gifties, one is a pose stand you can use with your cat and the another is a teaser style cat toy.

Once you have finished in the store, you can follow the path back along the way you came and you will come to a little bridge and then to another fork, to your left is a large building called the Cat Sancuatery, it is empty at the moment, not sure what is happening with it. and on your left, after another short walk or fly, is the little marketplace, which has goods and lots of cute stuff for your kitties.

From The Wildwood Gazette

Now there is a secret place, which doesn't really have a path going to it, but it is definitely worth visiting. It is in the far right at the back  of the Sim, it is a gorgeous set of cat statues in ever increasing size around a a small river. I think if  you walk through the market stalls, and turn left a little there is a small bridge which will bring you to the statues.

I really suggest you go and look around if you haven't done so already, the Sim is really quite lovely.

UKS.. Unexpected Kitty Sightings.....

U.K.S.

From The Wildwood Gazette

So, Second Life and First Life are so similar as in  kitties pop up in unexpected places, I had to smile when I walked into Whippet and Buck to browse for some new clothes and there in the hallway are a couple of Kitties, Bill and Barbara and two little kitten baskets, I clicked them all, they are all for sale, 100L each, it's kinda cute really.

If you see anymore kitties in weird place, please take a snapshot and send me the Lm, I will blog it and credit you, could be a fun competition if I can think of a decent prize.
