"And, baby, that's show business for you!"

#OpaliteAP - August 23rd, 2025 @ 7PM EST until 12AM EST.

More information on the birthday event below. ❤️‍🔥

And of course, come dressed appropriately. No NSFW animation mods, keep it PG-16, and keep it classy. I don't mind if you show a little skin but please keep all your bits secure. And NO 4K MODS, I BEG OF YOU.

That's all. Come if you want to, it's gonna be a chill night with fun music and vibes. ❤️‍🔥

Joining the syncshell is not mandatory at all. Please come prepared with a vanilla glam ahead of time. Respect all the artists and gposers who will be taking time out of their days to be there.

Keep all VFX mods down to a minimum. No disruptive effects. Turn music OFF in your dance mods.

Rules are as ever.

Respect one another, keep any and all personal drama and issues outside of the party, respect the hosts, do NOT talk about mods in-game at the venue, and don't clog up the chat. This will be in a public space.

Syncshell rules below.

I didn't wanna do something too elaborate for my birthday, so come have fun with me and some friends at the Queen Lhaminn for a few hours to celebrate, if you like.

The theme is 'hot glittery, ritzy summer.' Jewel tones, beachwear, glitter, feathers & fun, bright colors.

"And, baby, that's show business for you!"

ephraim duskhardt sitting on a globe, with three paper planes flying around. two are moving quickly and erratically, the third is between his fingers, presumably from a long, confusing flight around the globe. the text reads 'i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere.'

ephraim duskhardt praying in the ruins of an old castle. red rose petals are scattered beneath him, and raining down from on high. there is a spotlight lighting him from above, as everything else is shrouded in shadows. he keeps his eyes to the sky in reverence, but they are closed, as if he does not want to gaze directly at it. behind him are two charred, torn paintings.

i made you my temple, my mural, my sky,

now i'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life.

#ephyshade

pollux agravain, covered in scars and sweat from an arduous battle. while the battle portrayed is physical, it is all symbolism. he is a man haunted by the past. flames rage behind him, embers flying about the scene as he looks downcast and downtrodden, on his knees as a singular light from above shines down, but his head is kept down, looking away from such a glorious thing, as if he believes himself unworthy.

❝ — when did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt? ❞

dilon is kneeling in front of everkeep, with dahlia resting gently on the side of the tower, her eyes glowing brightly in the darkness.

o, wakeful world goodnight.
let go, the "me" in memories.

an ancient shadow brandishes its
hunting claws, taking aim at the stars. "

This probably isn't the best example but I thought it would be somewhat interesting to show how I light a shot. And this doesn't get into other factors like editing the enviroment in ktisis to achieve specific conditions. ( I edited fog and city lights in ktisis for this )

#GPOSERS

cadena remains one of my favorite shaders in the atelier pack.
can't wait for you all to play around with it.
#astershade

i did this and honestly it was kinda liberating. cannot recommend it enough. got rid of syncshells, random syncs, one-sided syncs, etc. like, just cleared it all out and even my storage took a breath lmfao.

beachmaxxing. as a treat. (and as a modding break)

#astershade yet again with flower marks, because it's so good at capturing summery tones. shader pack'll be done soon. 👍

ft. the beautiful @shimmeringardor.bsky.social & @afflatusmiseria.etheirys.social ♥

might be done. time to test/change materials. wheeee.

#astershade

#astermakes

#astershade update:

incredibly grateful to @priestess.etheirys.social for sitting with me and teaching me how to do dawntrail material updates ♥ ilu oomfiana

updated several materials to dawntrail, did some proper colorsetting and such.
coming soon, hopefully. this was a nice, much needed 'for me' project after a year of nothing of the sort.
