E-Fame! Bwahahahaha!

...but srsly, lol...

I just want to thank everyone so much for all the kind comments re. the Asmodian Girls video! I'm very excited that it won 2nd place in the contest as well. :)

I hope to do a behind-the-scenes deal as soon as I get home from visiting friends in TX (and yes, I might even post the mp3 *cringe* since it seems a few people have requested it).

Asmodian Girls (Parody)



Oh yes... we did, lol.

"Asmodian Girls" Full Lyrics:

We're from a place
Where the world's just a bit darker

Cold, but it's home
There must be something in the aether

Chillin' in the core
Yeah, we are waiting at the flight rings
(For you)

Mad forum posts
'Cause we just robbed you of your AP
(Nerdrage)

You can carebear it uh-hup
But we'll take the next rift and the tides will shift
Once you get ganked by uh-hus
You'll be trembling in fear
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Asmodian girls, a force to reckon with
We're on vent discussing your fate
Asmo sorcs so quick they'll melt your face right off

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Asmodian girls, we're comin' atcha brah
DP's full, you best watch your back
Mau Form, Word of Wind, We'll make it real quick

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

We're all buffed up
Yeah, we've got sexy chanter mantras
Our eyes, glowing red
And now our general is transforming
Oh, oh-oh

You can carebear it uh-hup
But we'll take the next rift and the tides will shift
Once you get ganked by uh-hus
You'll be trembling in fear
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Asmodian girls, a force to reckon with
Got you marked with skulls and Z-zs
Silentera, Dredg, we're inescapable
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Asmodian girls, we're comin' atcha brah
All else fails we'll 4K DP
Pandae represent, Now slash hurray emote
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[shugo]

claws, manes
buffed and ready
tear it up, these girls are heavy
dark and mysterious
damn these girls are serious
I mean the ones
like dark winged ones
runnin'
chasin'
stunnin'

nyerk nyerk

full pvp elite
these chicks are sweet
Elyos boys had best retreat
Dredg ok
they play all day
love these chicks
like I love Asmodae
Panda Plaza
Altgard Lake
always keepin' me awake

Asmo dudes
hangin round
asmo glads
spin' round
they chillin', n thrillin', straight illin'
like vill'ins
cause you bad
they mercy killin'

Asmo ladies (Yeah?)
you out riftin' babies? (uh huh)
all up on ya babe
cause you out there reppin' Asmodae (oh yeah)

[/shugo]

Asmodian girls, a force to reckon with
Curse of roots and then we slash dance
Our girls are so pro they'll laugh at all your hacks

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Asmodian girls, we're comin' atcha brah
Claws and manes and red glowing eyes
Pandae Represent
(Pandaemoium!)
Now slash hurray emote

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

-------------------------------------------------

Mega special uber thanks to the guys from FiRe for their tireless hours of dance-syncing, etc...

Characters were played by Absolute, Ana, Ketto, Killer, Pooh, & Terradactyl.

On a side note, this is not only my very first attempt at video editing, ever, but also my first actual attempt at music/vocal recording as well... *cough* so, yeah, the vocals were actually recorded with a karaoke revolution (konami/logitech) usb mic, lol... and, yes, it's the same one I use for ventrilo. ;)

Haute Halloween!


Orange, black and - the pièce de résistance - batwings. This is truly a gorgeous ensemble for this holiday (or anytime really - Tahabata's shield won't be going out of style anytime soon in my opinion).

On the street... Weathered Bronze & Blue, Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium

LOVE this... It's interesting, it's finely accessorized, and the unique patina color scheme is not something I've seen before (at least, if I have, it has not been executed well enough to notice)! Superb styling!

On the street... Marvelously Mauve, Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium


While there is a bit of a ragamuffin vibe to this ensemble, it's also quite charming in the sense that I really just couldn't overlook it.

S80 Dynasty s('.^)V

What can I say? It's super stylish, incredibly rare, highly desirable - and they wear it oh so well... It's S80 Dynasty - represented beautifully in all three styles here.


I absolutely adore the simple, yet quirky and cute, legion cape as well!

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

On the street... Fetching in Fenris, Gelkmaros Fort



Not a common dye color combo, I absolutely adore this ensemble. I haven't seen a Fenris look this good/worth posting in so long, but this girl pulls it off with absolute style and finesse - the pink hair, summer headwrap, and that fantastic mix of yellow and rich purple go so perfectly together.

In the Abyss... Elyos Ranger


I'm absolutely loving this new costume from token rewards! + the black dye - absolutely fantastic ensemble!

Multiple Armor Sets




Magic Resist? Block? PvE/PvP? It never hurts to be prepared! There's nothing like having multiple armor sets so you can change at a moments notice to fit the situation and still look perfectly put together. My cleric friend here demonstrates my point quite well.

Pre 2.0 Style

Apologies for the lack of updates lately! It's been so busy lately. Here's a quick round up of some of the photos I took before 2.0 came out and hadn't had a chance to post until now.


(Beautiful use of white die and a generally stunning ensemble!)












(This last one I love because of how well it fits the "voodoo" theme. Very well done!)

In the Abyss... Pretty Pastels - Primum Fortress, Reshanta


I don't often see a lot of pastel pinks... This stylish spiritmaster completes the look with a touch of kirka on her kerchief to match the pink to purple ombre colorings of her outfit. One minor detail though, I might suggest remodeling the book. Weapons can be fabulous accessories when worn right, otherwise they're just... there.

2.0 (PTS) Style

What a shame... Marra and Daskin have no new offerings. I'm afraid the styles for sale are SO 1.9. I am surprised there aren't inexpensive knockoffs of these outfits by now.

...and where are the Wonder Girls costumes? I hope they aren't Korean only, like the swim & beachwear.

Aion Magazine Feature

Siel Style has been featured in the Aion Magazine (www.aionmagazine.com). While they did get my name wrong (again), it's still nice to be featured.

Le sigh, I must express my disdain for this month's "item of the month," though. The non-exclusive, nor unique, package of lesser shards and lesser scrolls seems like something that most subscribers (especially the 6 month subscribers) will have absolutely no use for whatsoever. No hats? For shame.

Why not send us some of the fantastic beachwear that the Koreans have?

In the Abyss... Fuchsia Fighter - Primum Fortress, Reshanta


Bold, bright, and 100% noticeable. This well-accessorized gladiator stands out amongst the crowd with her incredibly detailed hot pink gear... Flawless.

In the Abyss... Cochineal Glasses - Primum Fortress, Reshanta



This creative ensemble stirs up notions of a unique, quirky (and I use that word in the most endearing way) individual. It almost has a bit of an art school vibe to it - but in a very unpretentious, unintentional sort of way. She caught my eye immediately, being one of the more interesting outfits I've seen in Primum.

Stylish Assassin, hard at work... Weapon and Armor Workshop, Pandaemonium


I love the color and fit of this armor, but mostly this post is to show that the armor worn while leveling up can be just as stylish as the things we acquire at the level cap. The details really are incredible. This outfit also really made me look at those one-shoulder, leather "feather" accents in a whole new light.

Sea Dog Style - Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium



"Ruthless" is right - and this fierce look certainly suits him well. Uncommon color pairings truly enhance verisimilitude of the buccaneer theme. Is that salty air surrounding him?

In the Abyss... You can't say she's not unique - Primum Fortress, Reshanta



This has to be one of the most interesting and unique ensembles I've seen to date. I must say, she definitely made me smile.

Primum Fortress - Fresh Looks

I've run across a number of well dressed Asmodians recently, yet I have failed to post about them... Here are a few from Primum.

Black Dye done beautifully:





Cool Blue Vinna...



The use of Elyos chanter models and vinna petals make for a cool, classic look on this dapper daeva. The blue necklace makes a great touch as well!

Thursday, July 15, 2010

On the street... Vinna Fenris, Primum Fortress, Reshanta



An Ariel native, this chanter brings her classic style to New Siel. Her vinna colored Fenris ensemble is a beautiful exemplification of charm and class successfully achieved through simplistic and faultless execution.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

On the street... The Well Dressed Ranger, Primum Fortress, Reshanta



The classic charcoal suit and top hat is a look I haven't seen lately at all. However, this ranger wears it quite well. I've also noticed it's increasingly rare for one to be able to match his or her neck accessories to an outfit - the blue glow here with the blue bow is perfect though. These pieces add just the right amount color and brilliance to offset the staid monochrome look.

Also - NCSoft, I beg you, please allow remodeling of necklaces in the future.

Eye on Community!

Apparently the site has been featured in Aion's "Eye on Community," and Rheeza is secretly an Asmodian.

On the street... Punk's Not Dead, Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium



I know, it's mostly just Anuhart... but I think it looks sick. He certainly has a style about him I haven't seen on many other 'sins.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

On the street... Bewitching Beauty, Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium



This look immediately caught my eye! Beautiful styling, gorgeous colors, and perfectly put together!

Friday, July 2, 2010

On the street... Stunning Sorceress, Temple of Gold, Pandaemonium



I can't tell you how much I like this ensemble... Beautiful colors, perfect accessorizing with the diamond orb - need I say more?

2.0 Preview: Stunning Jewels...




Lovely new orb models double as fancy jeweled accessories...

You can find more 2.0 preview items here: http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-06-30/new_unique_items_for_aion_2,1.shtml

2.0 Preview: Tulip Staff



Love it! Much better than the other *ahem* rather corny items coming out in 2.0...



I must say, a fruit/veggie collection? Really?



I'm just not sold on these... is she getting ready to cast a spell - or make a fruit salad?
