MJ Lace Bra and Panties Sets

After making some bikinis, I decided to make a few bra and panties sets as well.

The first set has a see-through lace topping on the bra and panties. I like the red one. It also comes in other colours, like the usual white, beige, cyan, black, pink.
The second set has a set of full cups, and the front panel of the panties is see-through lace. Comes in assorted colours as well, the usual white, beige, cyan, pink, plus I tried experimenting to see how purple would look. Seems quite nice too!

The third set is a set of sheer see-through underwear, held together by strings (similar to the string bikini). It comes in a lot more different colours like orange, brown and even magenta. For those sexy moments.

If you bought any of these, and want it in a different colour, just let me know and I will make it for you for a nominal fee (depending on how many other colours you are looking at). Enjoy!

MJ String Bikini

It has been some time since I last made something, especially clothes. After the long break, here's the first, a set of string bikini. The bikini top is held together behind the neck and back by a simple butterfly knot. Available in a few colours. Personally, I like the red and black ones.

Calligraphy pieces

It has been some time since I last put up new items for sale. I have put up some Japanese calligraphy pieces for sale in my shops, to be specific, the shops at Realmscape Mall and Dead Alley. These pieces serve as excellent pieces to decorate your homes, simple yet elegant.

If you prefer a certain piece with a different coloured frame, do let me know, I will do a one-to-one exchange. Besides wooden frames, you can ask for coloured frames (black looks nice) as well.

See my profile in world for the landmark, or see my classified in world.

Fantasy clothing

Besides making fantasy avatars, I have also gotten down to making some clothing items as well. Note that my items don't have scripts in them and don't support any combat systems, so they can't be used a armour in combat sims. However, they are great for those who want to fit into fantasy sims and need something appropriate to wear.

This is a tabard, with the sun moon symbol on the front and back. The symbol is flanked by a dragon on each side. The same symbol is also embossed on the buckle of the belt.

And this is a set of chainmail, which includes the chainmail shirt, chainmail pants and also a pair of chainmail boots.

Fantasy avatars

After a long break, I have once again started making skins, as well as some clothes. The theme, though, is now fantasy/medieval.

This is my try at a female elf avatar. She has pointed ears, which is hidden by the prim hair. The prim hair is not included, it is actually from ETD, so those interested can get it there, from their "Novice" line of prim hair. The set I am selling comes with the skin and shape, as well as the green shirt and brown pants, and a pair of brown boots. And the leather cuirass, and also the set of metal bracers engraved with dragons.

I have also made a female drow avatar, which comes with not just the skin and shape, but also the bikini set. Her belt is embossed with a spider symbol. Like the elf avatar, prim hair is not included. The one shown in the picture is from ETD too, from their free "Lily" line.

Bra and panties set

The latest in my lingerie collection is this bra and panties set. Besides the standard colours of white, beige, yellow, pink and cyan, I have decided to try making it in black this time too, just to see how well the lace designs turn out. And guess what? It came out well, so I am selling this set in all 6 colours.

If the panties are distorted at the pubic area, just change your hip length to 100 and things will be fine.

More skins by Miki Jannings

Here are some more skins made by me. As you can see, I like to make skins with pale or light skin tones. As usual, all my skins come with an accompanying shape to bring out the best in their facial features.

The first one is "Yukie", a Japanese avatar with sparse eyebrows, a light skin tone, and slightly dark brown nipples. The pubic area is a bit sparse but highly realistic.


Next up is "Michelle". She is blonde with curvy eyebrows and a slightly darker tone of red for her lip stick. As with my other skins, she has realistic nipples and pubic area.

Last up is "Aki". Very pale skin tone, with brownish eyebrows, though a bit thick. A more pinkish set of nipples with realistic pubic area too. She has a small nose, much smaller than most of my other skins.

New bras and panties (thongs and shorts, actually)

I don't know why, but I suddenly was in the mood today to work on underwear. I guess it must be a break from making skins, which I have gotten the hang of. But while I think I can still improve, I guess it must be boring to be doing the same thing for so long. So I decided to switch back to something that I have tried in the past but didn't really pursue.

So this is my first bra, or rather, the whole set of 5, in white, beige, cyan, yellow and pink. It is full cup, with lacy top, as well as lacy straps.
Next comes this 3/4 cup bra (again, a set of 5) which also has a lacy top, though not as thick a border, as well as lacy straps. And a small simple ribbon in the centre.
I had avoided making underwear because I was afraid of smudging. The crotch area is always very difficult to make, or so I hear/read from the online forums. But somehow, things turned out well with this thongs, no smudging or anything. I guess the crotch area is actually a very thin line in the template, just don't bother to add any details to the crotch area. Anyway, this set of 5 thongs has lacy edges as well.
The last piece is this set of 5 shorts for ladies. The edges are again laced. There is a slight glitch with this piece, though. Your hip length must be quite long, else there will be some distortions near the crotch area. If you see any distortion, just adjust your hip length (in Appearances -> Torso -> Hip Length) and things should be fine.

More new skins

With some time on my hands, I got down to working on what has been my interest these days, making skins for myself. And of course, after making them, I get to sell them too.

First of all is "Shalise", with blonde hair both on the eyebrows, and also a very realistic blonde pubic area. And realistic nipples too. Both the nipples and the pubic areas were taking from photos of real nipples and pubic hair. So are the eyebrows. The lips are also taken from a photo of a real life model too. For my latest creations, I have made the body more defined, with more shadows and highlights.


Next up is "Ashlee", with a light skin tone. This skin comes with both pubic hair, as well as a shaved pubic region (again, very realistic since it was from a photo...)

Then we have "Akiko", a skin made for Japanese avatars. Unlike previous, similar skins, I have made the skin tone more tanned, not as pale as before. This skin also comes with both shaved and unshaved pubic regions, as well as an accompanying shape with a size more suitable for Japanese.

Last we have "Joanne", with her brown hair (eyebrows and pubic region). Her pubic region is more sparse, but still as realistic and highly defined.

More skins!

I spent some time and came up with some more new skins. Seems like the current craze for me is making skins.

I have started to get the hang of it too. Using photos of real-life models, I draw facial features onto the templates, fitting them into the correct positions. After uploading the textures, I create the skins. And I came to realise that good looks do not just depend on the skins, the shape is important too. So using the same models, I create a shape that best shows the facial features that I have drawn.

First up is "Mariko", a Japanese look with very pale skin. Don't use light-coloured hair with this skin, since the skin tone is too light.

Next is "Angelina", with brown hair. She has thicker lips, and a small nose.

Then we have "Brooke", who is blonde. Her face is more squarish, and her lips are wider too.

"Katie" here has dark brown hair and a darker skin tone.

New Products - Skins!

As mentioned in my previous post, I have been trying to create my own skins. And finally, I have managed to do so, and I have not only created one set of skin, but four of them! All of them come with their own shapes too. The basic body shape is the same, but the head has been modified to bring out the best in each of the skins. The skins are shown below, with the more private areas pixeled out.

"Cristine", as seen below, is by far the best. She was made based on a blonde model, with light eyebrows. As you can see, my skins come with light makeup (not a lot of lipstick, etc.) She has a soft. demure look, as you can see.


"Keiko" below is based on a Japanese model. If I had done a better job with her pubic area (it is actually slightly smudged, but otherwise okay, and not noticeable at all if you are wearing clothes) I would have asked more for her.

"Kelly" was made based on a lady with brown hair. She has a more confident look, compared to the others.
"Eve" was the first skin that I made. It was an experiment to see how to make skins in Second Life, and well, that explains why it is not as fine as it could be. The eyebrows are slightly thicker than what I would like, the face a bit too rough. But as a basic starter skin, this is something that will do, considering the low price. And the skin is actually cut-and-paste from a photo of a real person.

First Sculptie

I made my first sculpted prim. And have a problem.

As you can see here, this is actually a katana, made from a 16x15 sphere. I made it using Blender, exported to the OBJ file, opened the OBJ file with Wings3D, and exported it from there to a sculpted texture for use in SecondLife. I also used UVMapper to create a UV map of the prim, and used it as a template to draw a test texture for the sculpted prim. As you can see, the texture did turn out quite well.

The problem is the sculpted prim itself. The original object in Blender looks like a katana. The OBJ imported into Wings3D looks like a katana. But once it has been exported as a sculpted texture, and uploaded into SecondLife, it just doesn't retain the original shape. I wonder if anyone knows why. The tip of the sword is distorted. And so is the hilt guard. While the hilt guard should be a flat disc (and looks so in Blender and Wings3D), it is distorted when uploaded. The blade should be slightly curved with a sharp tip, but it ended up being distorted too. I guess it has to do with exporting to a sculpted texture. I tried the tutorials on baking textures in Blender, but they came up with flattened shapes as well as weird protrusions.

Anyone knows what to do?

New Weapons

I got down to making a whole series of simple, decorative weapons today. They are purely for decorative purposes, so you can put them up as displays in your home or shop, or you can walk around carrying them to look impressive.

The first is a set of simple longsword and shortsword. The two swords are based on the same simple design, with a two part hilt.

Then I made a simple scimitar, which is a large curving blade. This is also another simple design, no engravings on the blade or elaborate hilt designs.

Next I made a naginata. This is a Japanese polearm, which has a short, slightly curved blade mounted on a pole. It is a popular foot soldier's weapon, and in modern-day Japanese, the art of using the naginata is very popular amongst women.

And why stop at one polearm? So I decided to make another one, this one based slightly on the curving blade of the scimitar. It is actually a Chinese halberd, since the Western one has a different blade design. The famous General Guan Yu from the Three Kingdoms Period of China uses a polearm such as this, though with a shorter pole to make it easier to use from a horse.

And finally, a set of longsword and dagger. This is the more basic of designs, very simple, just the bare minimum. For those who just want something simple, and don't want to pay too much for things.

White outer long sleeve blouse

This new blouse is semi-transparent, allowing you to show off what you are wearing underneath it. It is meant to be an outer blouse, worn on the jacket layer. As you can see above, I am wearing my light blue tank top underneath the blouse. The ruffles along the neckline and on the sleeves are made of prims. While the prims on the sleeves probably do not need any repositioning, those on the neckline made need to be repositioned, depending on your shape. So I have given modify permission to the neckline prims, for those who need to reposition the prims.

GNU and Linux t-shirt

Being an advocate of open source software and Linux, I decided to make my own contributions to open source and Linux in Second Life by making this particular t-shirt. The logo on the front is the GNU mascot, while the familiar Linux mascot, the penguin, is found on the back of the t-shirt. Support open source, support Linux, get this t-shirt and wear it, and help spread awareness about Linux and open source software.

Taiji Circle white t-shirt

Those of you may remember the other set of taiji t-shirts that I recently made. Well, this new t-shirt is made specifically for members of my group Taiji Circle. Besides the taiji symbol, the name "Taiji Circle" in Chinese characters is written under the symbol, and on the back of the t-shirt are the Chinese characters for "Taiji". So if you are a member of the group, do pick up a copy of this t-shirt for yourself, and wear it to help let others know about the group. Hopefully we will be able to find more people interested in taijiquan this way, and who knows, maybe one of them is good at animation and can help us make a set of taiji moves.

Little red dress

A simple yet sassy design. This new addition to my summer clothing collection is a short red dress with a prim skirt. If red is not your colour, let me know and I will be glad to change the colour to something that you fancy. IM me in world.

Taiji symbol t-shirt

As part of my contributions to the group Tai Chi Circle, I have made these two simple t-shirts, which have a taiji symbol on the left breast. Members of Tai Chi Circle, do feel free to get yourself a t-shirt or two and wear it around to create awareness about taijiquan.

See-through blouses

I had always wanted to make clothes from thin cloth, which allows you to see a bit of what lies beneath. You know, like those white blouses made from thin cotton cloth. Well, today, I got down to it, using GIMP, editing the layer mask. When editing layer mask, white is opaque, black is transparent. What I did was set the white portions to light gray instead, so that the result is a slightly transparent blouse. The blouses come in white, pink, cyan and yellow.

Green camisole

This green colour camisole is lined at the top with a light yellowish strip of see-through cloth. At the same time, near the waist, there is another strip of see-through yellow cloth. I saw a similar design today while on the way home, and decided to see if I can make something like it. This is my simple attempt, which has room for improvement, but that is for another day... and the improved version probably won't go for L$5 like this basic design here.
