Passionate for []::Tuli::[] at Black Swan

Black swan is of course, a showcase of perhaps the most stunning artwork in SL. Not just limited to sculptures either - "The Passions of Black Swan" brings together a collection from some of the most talented fashion designers, featuring stunning gowns, jewelry, hair .. and the reason for this post.. beautiful skins by Tuli.

The Black Swan skins are based on her latest release, Elizabeth, but with added black feather tattoos and stunning eye-makeup. The basics: there are five skin shades, and four different makeups, so that's a total of .. *counts on fingers* .. twenty skins altogther.

Tuli's Passions of Black Swan female skins

I adore the eyes - very heavy and dramatic, yet still delicate enough to make out the detail of the feather design. The feathers continue down over the left breast and stomach, and also on the left shoulder blade. And just so your legs don't feel left out, there are more feathers around the left ankle and calf.

I'm picky about my skins. Some designers make a fantastic looking face, but the body lacks definition. Thankfully this is not the case here, Tuli is a stickler for details. Fingernails and toes have nail polish, the collar bones are nicely highlighted, and round the rear is an absolute peach of a bum which is just asking to be bitten! ^_^ Not a hint of a seam anywhere, but then Tuli has been skin making for a couple of years now, and it shows.. these skins just ooze quality!

The Virtual Booty Shot

*sighs* you're all waiting for the booty shot aren't you... ?

Didn't I tell you that butt was worth biting? Gotta be good when your backside looks perfectly round despite SL's best attempts to make you all polygons. I love the subtle highlighting on these skins.. my avatar looks soft, feminine. Actually, I look like I've been bathing in asses milk, the skin looks so soft and creamy. And as you can see from the picture above, even areas like the back of the knees and elbows haven't been forgotten.

Of course, don't just take my word for it. Drool over the pictures, then get yourself to Black Swan (TP here) and try the demos for yourself. A single skin costs L$1200, all four makeups in a single tone cost L$3600. Then go wander round the sim, spending hours taking photos in the wonderful scenery, just like I did...
