Urbanix Skirt



Urbanix Skirt is a rebuild / retexture of the skirt that was part of the Harajuku Urbanix set which i have stopped selling. So many people have asked me about the skirt in particular and it is one of my fav items to wear that it seems right to re realease it as a skirt alone.
So i have retextured it all rebuilt and added many parts and i feel its even better than before enjoy!

Send me your snaps of this skirt with full perms inside SL and ill post my favourites to this blog.

Synthetique Hair



I have tried several times in the past to make some form of hair design that has a strongly synthetic plasticy possibly digital feel to it but no avail.
This design however im pleased with it has that look of fake hair you might find on gynoid lifeforms or servile robotic maids its also along the lines of a cosplay wig which i like.
I used mainly my own custom textures on this one also which helps add some interest and also enhance the synthetic feel i hope you like!

Biomeka Blasters



More DCS2 compatible weaponry goodies for you this time in the form of bio mechanical arms with blasters on each.
Again i made sure they were not too overpowered but still usefull to those who RP and i created some nice animations for them along with some great sound FX.

Functions on these include

1. Duo fire barrage (great for large or multiple group targets)
2. Reloads after 15 x 2 bullets (15 each side)
3. 5% damager per bullet on DCS HUD
4. Realistic sound and particle FX
5. Custom animations
6. Low lag scripts
7. Color change via chat command

They look really great even if you just want to have them as an accessory and not run around shooting people. I made 2 sizes for men and woman and they also come with a glove layer.

Widowmaker Rifle



Ive been wanting to create some weapons that will work for RP Sims specifically Toxia City and other DCS enabled areas so ive been developing and tweaking this gun along with some experienced RP members for a good few months to make sure its usefull but also within the rules and style of Toxia in particular.

Features include ~

1.Single click , single fire for accuracy
2.Reloads after 30 bullets
3.Each bullet does a maximum of 5% damage on the DCS HUD
4.Realistic Sound and Particle FX
5.Custom Animations
6.Low Lag Scripts
7.Worn on spine simply touch to equip and use

Most importantly ofcourse its cyberpunk style! and not simply a copy of any RL weaponry its more influenced by Anime than anything else.

Cellular Pants / Skirt



The whole reason i began a store is probably a similair story to many. I made things that i want and then other people asked me for them and this is basically what i am still doing today so right about now i fancied a new pair of Tech style pants with a nice skirt combo to go with them.

I dont quite want to look like a Sci Fi character but i do like technological elements and this is reflected in the design of the pants with the textures having circuitry and cellular kind of shapes as well as some more contemporary camo styled fabrics and a lil bit of grunge for good measure.
They have nice sculpted legwarmers, Kneepads and thigh gaurds that help shape the legs into nice sexy curves. The skirt is also a sculpted shape so it forms around the waste well.



I also included a 2nd skirt type seen above with a glowing cellular construct of octagon shapes. All the glowing light parts are colour changing with a simple chat command up to 100+ colours available so you can match them to your fav items and colours.

New Mainstore finally complete











Well its been a long process but i have finally completed a new home for AVZ.
Its going to be hard for me to leave OnCom its been my base for nearly 2 years but i was beggining to feel hemmed in on all sides.
The new SIM Laymon is stand alone so it does ofcourse suffer a lot less lag and it also means that the presentation and design of my new SIM will not suffer the conflict stylistically with what is around me.(thats a nice way of saying surrounded by ugly builds btw)

The change does not stop only at the redesign of my store ive pretty much dumped more than half of my old line and will only be taking a few choice and favourite designs forward.
The reason for doing this is that all throughout my activities in SL ive been learning and developing and i hope to continue to do so. The style my work has reflected till now shows the many different influences of what im into but i think things had become a little too random and confused as far as what AVZ as a brand is meant to reprasent.
I feel now i have found my style and everything in my store will reflect this. It is also just good to get some space a clean canvas if you like.
All i need to do now is fill up my new store with lots of new items! but dont worry after a little break i have many new ideas to execute and i hope if you have been a loyal fan of AVZ up to this point that i will continue to make work you enjoy.

Id also like to highlight here the new system im using for my vendors as a fan of clean minimal design i always found it a pain to try squeeze text onto a poster that explains every last function or feature of a product! If you know AVZ then id hope you just expect the product to be great quality but it is ofcourse important to let people know what they are buying beforehand so they can make an informed choice.


So every vendor now has the above logo and when you want to find out more about the product your looking at simply click it and follow the blue drop down menu to this very blog. Id also love to get some of your favourite images of each product and your feedback and comments too.




You will also hopefully be aware by now of my opening event Friday Nov 7th starting 3pm SLT i hope to see you all there to help me celebrate the move!

Well thats all for now im still new to the whole blogging thing but im sure i wont find it too hard to talk about what i do and maybe some of you will even find it quite interesting!

So if you are reading this why not let me know you are there with a comment.

Peace Hern ♥

Dark Garden Hair



Dark Garden is a piece that seems to have hit a chord with many.
For me its influences are wide and varied but if i had to sum it up in 2 words it would be demonic geisha. It ss the sort of style that a powerfull vampire queen would wear as she is about to f*%k then kill you muhaha.
Not sure i can say much more than this its just a damn sexy style that will make any gothic lady seem like royalty. It also features some of my own unique custom hair textures.

Cybercoilz



Cybercoilz is a style i worked many hours on to get each dreadlock interweaved perfectly with the others. Its my own number 1 favourite currently and is pretty much the best cyberlock or cyberdread style in SL in my opinion hopefully yours too!
It comes in some of my own custom and unique hair textures which ive been developing recently. In short it pretty much sums up what AVZ is about unique funky high quality innovative design. (and yes i will blow my own trumpet thanks)

Kumo Hair



Kumo means spider in Japanese and as you can see this style definately has an insectoid feel to it. Like some kind of alien creature that sits on your head its a big dramatic style with thick dreadlike parts and metallic pins and pipe parts clasped to its strands. It is available in some funky glow colour combos.

TRI Bal hair 2



If there is one style that could be my "flagship" hairstyle it would be TRI Bal2. My most popular design ever its actually an updated version of the very first hairstyle i made inspired by one of my customers retexturing / modification. It has become pretty much the standard headgear for many steampunk, neko, cyberpunk and anime fans massively popular with the Japanese fans of AVZ too.
The hair itself comes with high detailed smashed goggles a little transistor radio and badges on the headscarf. Three sprayed ponytails at the back make it a dynamic and dare i say SL classic design popular with all.

Parallel Hair



Parallel hair is somewhere between baroque french aristocracy and industrial cybergoth a combo i like very much.
The name comes from the parallel steel bars that are wrapped by the hair itself and work to make an interesting visual from all angles.
Contemporary yet classic this style has remained very popular and ive seen it on every kind of avatar from the grunge kid to the ballgown wearing couture fanatic.

Rocket Hair



Rocket hair is a totally unique design for hair in SL or RL and still a personal favourite of mine. It reprasents the fact that GIRLS KICK ASS and is a general metaphor for the power of the female gender. Its cute its funky and its above all fun!

Data Hair



Another tech cybergothic style from AVZ this hair has glowing and animated texture parts on each of its tightly wound rolls that work thier way across the top and down the back.

This hair also has some fun colour change scripted features on the glow details and is available in some unique and wild striped colours.

Cyber Phatpack



This one design believe it or not is what inspired me to take AVZ in a slightly new direction and refresh everything it was about.
It started out as a boot! which then morphed into the backpack you see. It has organic and tech elements a theme i hope to continue in more of my future work. It is already a personal favourite as id been searching for something to stick on my back for a while. I am glad to finally be releasing it for all to enjoy with the opening of my new mainstore that this very designed triggered the inspiration of.

Send me your images of this backpack inside SL with full perms and ill put my favourites on this blog.

Custom CPU



AVZ does include Science Fiction influences but what really excites me is the present and near future of technology. The Custom CPU backpack celebrates that one piece of technology many of us probably take for granted our very own computer.
For me Cyberpunk is about right now today and its the amazing wonders of the computer and the net that breathes life into it.
So i made this tricked out customised looking hackers delight of a CPU tower that features many GIF animated textures and plenty of other delightfull details i hope you enjoy.

Saddlebags Belt



Saddlebags are a utilitarian design perfect for any cyberpunk girl or guy or anyone else. They have plenty of bags and pockets to stash your drugs, money and equipment hehe. They also have a sculpted water bottle and an I-Pod with headphones wrapped around. A stylish combo of black leather and steel that works with many looks this is another popular item that continues to please.

Prosthetic Arms



Over the months and now years ive been in SL i was asked by many people to make robotic arm parts so here they are.
With the arrival of sculptys i was able to make a more prosthetic look which i have a kinda morbid fascination with in RL. The hand parts have a lot of details on them such as tension wires and tiny prims that reprasent touch sensors. These are definately a nice addition to any Roleplayers equip as they can tell a backstory of some terrible accident. 2 sizes are available for both men and woman or smaller and larger arms.

Send me your images of these arms inside SL with full perms (mod/copy/transfer) and ill put my favourites on this blog.

Bound Bracers



Im yet to find something else to wear around my arms to replace these i never take them off.
Wrapped and twisted fabric strapped down with leather and plenty of little details like beads and safety pins and torn mesh. I spent a long time making these appear random but the fact is they are built to fit and they just work with everything i wear another personal favourite.

Traction Boots



Traction Boots so named as they have kinda tank tread elements and a kinetic forward moving dynamic in the design.Partly tech and partly grunged style an aggresive design with militaristic undertones.
These are boots for those who like to do battle in the various cyberpunk themed RPG SIMs on the grid with one eye on kicking your opponents ass when it comes to style too muhaha.

Send me your images of these boots inside SL with full perms (mod/copy/transfer) and ill put my favourites on this blog.

Cybernetik Boots



These boots are a bit of an AVZ classic item. One of my most popular designs ever and many peoples favourite boots thankyou.
They are chunky definately for stomping in i love them on cute little girl avvys the most but they work on anyone. High detail piston loaded ass kickers need i say more.

Send me your images of these boots inside SL with full perms (mod/copy/transfer) and ill put my favourites on this blog.

Mekahooves



Part of my philosophy on style is that its possible to be a total freak but also be incredibly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
Mekahooves sum this up in the sense that they do have dark even slightly perverse undertones but are still very stylish. In short these just make people look sexy in a daemonic kinda way hmmmmm
Expect the usual high detailed quality design here.

Light Slippers



The name light slippers has a double significance here firstly they do have glowy lights on them ! but also they are literally light on prims.
A lot of my work has many prims and design features etc but here i just wanted to make a simple but stylish design that is more minimal.
They are actually one of my personal favourites to wear as i find they work very well with just about anything. Less is often more and that definately applies here.

Null Set



The Null set is an item i spent a lot of time getting the details just right. The cut of the jacket, the shape of the sculpted skirt and belt also the texturing in general has many hours of work in it. The result i hope is a high quality set that can be worn complete or in combination with your favourite items.

Included in the set:-

1. Jacket layer , shirt layer, undershirt layer with fur collar and sculpted fur cuffs.
2. Sculpted shaped skirt with flexi trim, sculpted belt and bag on high detail sculpted chain.
3. Striped Pants and underpants layer.

The Light Slippers and Koakuma hair i find work really well with this set both are also available in my store.

CYO1 ~ Mech Suit



Cy01 was originally designed with a female shape in mind but now also includes a version for men too. It is still probably my most extensive build to date and has many scripted features. I still consider it to be the best and most stylish of its type in SL.

Features include:-

1. Scripted helm with exclusive breathing sound FX and particles with on/off command
2. Laser beams from the eyes with on/off command
3. Jetpack with flight assist ,animated open and close wings, exclusive sound FX and jet particles.
4. 2 optional massively powerfull Laser blasters arm attatchments with exclusive animation and sound FX
5. Colour trim and detail options up to 100+ colours available.

This build was a team effort involving 2 of SL's top scripters Talia Tokugawa, Poidowl Poikolainen and sound design by Mantis Oh of Hybrid Productions so the suit is of the highest quality inside and out.

All this aside it just kicks ass :)
