             Developer of the Month

                 VardaSiverRaven

By Queen Soahc


The long awaited interview with the Empress Silver had come at a spur of the moment timing. She was in the middle of redecorating, developing, and helping out a customer make sure a product worked right.

She warned right off when she invited me she was a furniture junkie. She continued by saying that some of her favorite rooms most wouldn't be able to load.

When the room loads there is a very out of place tv on the wall. She was testing it to make sure it worked for one of her customers. Testing your products is a sign of a good developer. She says she's even redone dresses, because of the way they would disappear in the lights. Her reasoning behind this is "it is all up to the person who buys it in the end how happy they are with the product, not what we think.

She goes on to say that she gets called crazy a lot for some of the things she does. Among those things are giving away all her textures, teaching for free, and promoting other developers that do not otherwise have the funds to get going.

Her reasoning? "cause man you can keep everything to yourself but in the end the only one who will be singing your praises is yourself" This is the main reasoning behind her generous and giving nature from all I had heard. If you give unselfishly to others it always comes back around in some form or another.

We talked for a long time on the state of things in this realm and others. She left me with tons of food for thought. Towards the end of the interview we got down to business and I asked her more specific questions about her developing.

What is she working on now?

About a hundred things in her head, she laughs, than takes me to a room in progress. The room was huge. The textures amazingly detailed, and a gorgeous pool in the center. She is also going to be working on more clothing soon.

What was her first product she developed?

First she took me to a vampire styled room. It still amazed me that even as one of her first rooms the attention to detail was present. Next room was her very first. It was a rather bright, but elegant elevator. I seriously had the urge to jump up and down and laugh. It was cozy and fun. Perfect for a easy to load small chat.

What is her favorite product?

She has many. Her favorites change everyday, but she tells me that each one is her favorite for many different reasons. One of them was a room she made for a someone she loved a great deal. She poured her heart into it. Another was a cabin in the snow. It was for a very dear friend that never lived long enough to see it. For obvious reason she keeps this one as a favorite.

This is where we ended the interview as my time did not allow for more. I left the conversation feeling I had gain a wonderful, eye opening insight to the workings of our beloved Empress. For anyone wanting a product made with heart and hard work, the Empress Silver ( VardaSilverRaven) is the catalog to check out.

IRON DYNASTY DEVELOPER OF THE MONTH For August

GEO


This month our star reporter Queen Soa chased Geo for days on end to get you this scoop.
Geo being one of the best up and running popular AND gorgeous shining star of The Dynasty is
one hard Drow Empress to pin down. But SoL did it! ( I meant Soa "lol") \o/

Don't miss this exclusive from Soa for this Months... Front Page... Dev of the month below.

 I received the long awaited call to see Empress Geo. Being the busy one that she is, the place of the interview just happened to be a new Gallery she was putting together. In one corner of the building I found her arranging portraits of a soft and earthen hue. Against the striking rich black backdrop the beautiful faces of many women stared back at me. As she continued to work I began by asking her a few questions...

Q. You develop so many different things from rooms to furniture, skin coloring and clothing. What is your favorite thing to develop?
A. Clothing, I never seem to have enough clothing.


Q. What works do you have in progress right now?
A. This art gallery. I'm working on a set of portraits that will be all Drow and all original. Next one I'm working on will be one of Queen Erel.

Q. I noticed a stark difference between the portraits upstairs and the ones downstairs. So I have to ask.. What is the influence behind the portraits of women up here?
A. They are influenced by my love of beauty and what better way to say it than with women. Every women is beautiful in their own way...can't say much for men tho... ~at this she laughs saying just kidding. There also happened to be a male drow in the room~

Q. Are you going to be just showing these pics or will they be for sale as well?
A. They will all be for sale eventually.

Q. What would you say is the hardest project you've done so far?
A. Skins. I have a rough time with the shading. Queen Erels is my latest work. I put everything I've learned so far into that one.

Q. Any words of wisdom for the up and coming developers out there?
A. Keep at it. It doesn't happen overnight. It took me two years and I'm still learning new things everyday.

That was the end of my questions, but the conversation continued on lightly as she worked putting things just right. The room was coming together nicely. I'm eager to see it when it's finished.

And that's Queen Soa Reporting from the yet unnamed Gallery, with Empress Geo. Back to you King Silexe!
