Tomb of Ancients: a Lovecraftian Event

Halloween isn't simply about pumpkins and witches.

It's the season to truly appreciate the master work of Lovecraft, and his multi-layered universe of horror.

Finally, we have a Lovecraftian thmed event, the brand new and amazing Tomb of Ancients by Starry Sky Productions. The event takes us back to the origins of the Necronomicon, and the Great Old Ones.

For this event, here's my exclusive!

The Bad Omen Altar is my personal tributo to one of the central figures of Lovecraftain mythos, namely Yog-Sothoth, a deity beyond time and space that cultists would call forth through the darkest of rituals.

This product features skulls of sacrifices in agony, in a magic and ever moving liquid, product of mad scientists and cultists work.

The liquid is animated, and you can watch its preview inworld, where the alatar itself is scaled down to properly fit the event booths!

Harshlands for Redeux: October Round

October is known to be filled with many amazing events and celebrations, and one that I was looking for is Redeux.

Beautifully landscaped, offering some of the best deals on the grid. And for this round, I wanted to be no different as always. 

Not only there will be a discounted exclusive, but some other great sales!

The Skeletal Scarecrows are the event exclsuive, 20% off the final price! This is the best time to grab them, not only because of the price reduction, but also (and mostly) because of Halloween! 

These not-so-funny fellow come in three versions: regular, timeworn and mossy, and they also come with a 100% guarantee that they won't just scare annoying crows away.

But as said, there will be other deals.

They told me I went crazy, but I don't care. Only at Redeux, you can grab one of the Halloween favourites, Waited too Long statue for just 50L! If you don't know what's that about, you can click on the link below and find out by yourself.

Swank spooktacular round!

 Spooktober has begun, and every regular event has donned the dark mantle of the Halloween season.

For this round of Swank, I've prepared something in line with the theme

The Old Metal Fencing is a modular set made of Kool Door gate, fences (with straight and curved lines) as well as lamp posts.

But it's not that simple: Each piece comes in three texture variants (regular, mossy and bloody) and the lamp posts also have two different candle flame colour (standard and spooky green) and shapes (regular and bent).

Plenty to find one single box, and many flexibility to get spooky, but also vintage!

Along with this exclusive set, the Harshlands booth at Swank will feature some previous Halloween themed products, as well as some new general releases.

Time to get spooky!

Halloween Shop & Hop is a fairly busy event, therefore you might experience a full region issue. For that reason, the Skeleton Avatars gacha is also available at Harshlands mainstore!

Harshlands Halloween Hunt

That time of the year has finally arrived: Halloween is approaching!

For us at Harshlands can only mean one thing: our traditional region hunt! 

From October 1st until November 1st visit Dragonstone, and look for ten hidden prizes, all scattered around the region. Inside each of them there will be a special reward, never to be seen again! This is a good chance to score some exclusive products before they will disappear with the darkest night.

You will have to look for little moon-shaped objects.

Being a group hunt, you will be required to join Harshlands group, which can be done free of charge at the landing point.

SaNaRae: the Final Round

 September marks SaNaRae traditional anniversary round, and with a lot of excitement comes a bit of sadness, as this will be its final round, before its permanent departure.

SaNaRae is a work of love produced by one single person, Mewz Artis, who always poured heart and soul to ensure that both visitors and designers had the most pleasant experience. I am honoured of beig part of this!

To celebrate this incredible event, I have decided to release a brand new variation of the previously released Meadow Set.

This Meadow Set - Fall Tones brings the beautiful colours of autumn in your garden and landscapes.

The set only consists of the animated parts of the previous set (therefore grass patches, grass clumps and cornflowers), and for this reason it comes with a reduced price.

In addition to that, at the event area, every designer will be offering a unique gift. You can grab Harshlands one by our booth!

Swank: Designers Choice special event

 Another round of Swank is now open, and this month there is a special theme: Designers Choice!

That means each designer can choose their own theme, let their own inspiration run wild. And for September, I've decided to release something that might perfectly fit the previous ruined-themed decor, as well as some of the latest plants and flowers.

The Destroyed Watchtower is a fairly big landscaping product, that features what once was a majestic tower left to bricks and ruin. The Watchtower comes with four texture variations as well as poses (both singles and PG couple).

You can preview and try it out at Swank, so to have an idea of what kind of product it is.

Swank is now open, up until the end of the month!

Great deals and exclusives at Redeux!

 We're celebrating our first year anniversary at Redeux!

To thank the organizers for giving us the opportunity to participate and sponsor every round, I've released something new, and somewhat different from the usual exclusives.

This month I am happy to present you the Meadow Set

This set is a complete bundle to create your own animated garden!

There is animated grass, grass clumps and cornflowers, each of them coming in different colours. Slowly dancing at the wind, this vegetation will surely bring life to your private garden, landscape, greenhouses...or wherever your imagination leads you!

In addition to these, there are also some static extra decors: multiple flowers coming in different variations, and clovers! Who doesn't love clovers?

I've also added a ground texture, with realistic grass clumps.

You can also grab this set with an exclusive discount, only during Redeux!

Moreover, there are some more deals to be grabbed.

Enchantment open its gates to the Sleeping Beauty

 Whenever Enchantment opens, everyone is welcomed in a wonderful world of tales and beautiful stories.

This month is dedicated to the Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent, a story that took on so many different shapes and variations, but still providing us with wonderful emotions.

For this round I have prepared something inspired by the latest films

The Moors Rocks are a fairly big set of rocks and monoliths. They come as single scenery (not joined items, but as single and shadowmapped product) or as single and separate items (2 monoliths and one platform). And given the theme, they also feature two texture variations: Aurora, which is flowery and full of life, and Maleficent, giving the feeling of a dead land with scorched ground.

What's the point of having the Moors without a proper throne fit for a Queen? The Moors Throne is the second exclusive, presenting the two variations I've previously introduced: Aurora's version is a throne in bloom, with animated branches, whereas Maleficent's throne is a monstrous entanglement of dead branches. Both thrones come with single and couple (PG) animations.

But this isn't over!

As usual, the traditional Enchantment Hunt is on, and starting from the main event region, you can travel across lands to win fantastic prizes. For this round, this is our prize

The Tomb Blooms are said to grow wherever a fairyfolk passes on. They don't have graves to remember them by, but glowing flowers that spontaneously appear. You can get this prize for free, but you have to find it, well hidden in Harshlands mainstore!

Swank...around the world!

 Swank is open back again, and this month we're going on a trip all around the globe.

Harshlands stopped in Japan with a series of new items!

The Japanese Stone Lanterns are low prim decorations, coming in three different texture variations, to properly fit your land. With a small flame, ignited by an oiled rope, these stone lanterns will be the perfect addition to your gardens, outdoor landscape, and sacred places.

And in addition to that, I am happy to present the remaster of a previously released product:

The Warrior's Gravestone has been optimized, with new features and an overall lower land impact. Not only the texture and model has been improved, but there are now four tone variations!

You can find both products at Swank, along with some additional items.
