Garden Update: Iris Skin & Group Gift

Qbee's long journey in creating a natural-looking skin has come to a close as we release - at last - our first official skin, Iris, in three skin tones inspired by tree bark with our palest as the birch tree, our medium as the rowan tree, and our light tan as the willow tree, each skin tone comes with five different eyebrow colors - light brown, dark brown, black, blonde, and an auburn red, and an optional eyeliner. We hope to vary out the skin tones offered in the future and switch it up a bit so that a multitude of skin tones can be highlighted to cater to everyone's tastes.

Group members (entry is free as well) of Qbee may claim the Iris skin with lightly dusted freckles in the rowan tone now from either the main store or our new satellite store, whose sim name is also Iris. Iris with freckles is on the group gift table with the group joiner and the rest of the gifts. The group gift comes with three eyebrow colors - light brown, dark brown, and an auburn red.


Qbee hopes that you enjoy perusing our garden and seeing which skin tone suits you the best, whether rowan, willow, or birch. We've made our first skin with so much love for the SL community and hope that others who too adore a more natural look can have a skin that they feel beautiful in. Thank you so much for checking out our blog and we hope to see you in-world!

With love,

Your Qbee Staff

Garden Update: Camellia

Sprouting from the ice of the winter, this youthful flower is the first to appear within the snow of the season. A bit of wintry weather doesn't appear to chill the spirits of little Camellia, continuing to be ever so sweet and full of loveliness.

Garden Updates: Cherry Blossom & Flame Lily

A first in the history of the Qbee shop blog, we're updating with not one, but two new looks featured below, both beautiful and freshly sprouted from our Songbird Garden of Shapes!

A pallid bloom, Cherry Blossom appears feminine, soft, and delicate from the snowy pale of her skin to the light blushing of her cheeks. Cherry Blossoms personify a devout warrior whose life ended early within the wintry battle and with innocence forever remembered through the young, fallen blossoms.

A flower with proud petals in a fiery gradient, Flame Lily represents glorious beauty and is flower familiar to the east. An ember soul, she's the most spirited of the lilies.

Garden Update: Black Lotus

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!
