Black Lotus has been part of Qbee for over a month now, and over a month have I not updated Qbee's blog! (Shame on me, worst blogger ever! And to think I used to have literally thousands of LiveJournal entries back in 2000...how times have changed!) With KittyCatS and Guild Wars 2 to sidetrack me from blogging, I (finally) present to you Qbee's curviest shape, Black Lotus!
Black Lotus is revered in a plethora of cultures as the epitome of unmarred beauty, and tenuous in her shades of black. The Black Lotus specifically demonstrates tragic romance for future lovers falling in love with a beauty so dangerous yet so bewitching with her shadowed petals. She's a both seductive yet chaotic flower who wishes to shadow others with her beauty.
Throughout the time that Black Lotus has resided on our marketplace and in our in-world store, I've received several inquiries about Black Lotus' origin and the lotus flower overall in regards to Qbee - a black lotus doesn't imply neither a Buddhist nor Hindi reference as the color isn't one represented by either, it's a fantasy flower depicting dangerous beauty and dark magic.
Much thought (and love!) poured into Black Lotus through creating a curvier body due to popular suggestion and constructing a more mature face than some of Qbee's other existing shapes to depict her flower properly, I really hope to discover more flowers to lend a curvier bodies to in the future - curves are lovely and I'm grateful for this chance to fine-tune a curvier body with a suiting flower inspiration. And yes, a true lotus with potentially Hindu or Buddhist influences will one day cultivate itself in our Songbird garden, so stay tuned!
Visit / * qbee's garden to bloom your own Black Lotus and to collect lucky flower chair surprises and group offerings! Make sure to snag these group gifts before the next round of group gifts are released, which will be coming up soon! If you spot one of the Qbee shopkeepers wandering the garden in-world she will surprise you with a special shopkeeper-exclusive treat too. Hugs!
