Hello!

Does anyone have suggestions for items that create a shadow overlay for an HA? This can either be the shadow of the avatar itself, or a wash of shadow over/behind the avatar.

There's one in particular I've been trying to find. It creates a shadow in front of the avatar, as if they're being lit from behind.

Shadow items are my best friends. I hate the floating effect most HAs seem to have anymore, tbph. THEREFORE, Final Pam must not levitate.

Those spring immediately to mind, there's also a handful of CWs that have more of a "windowpane" look about them but I doubt that's what you're going for?

Pretty sure you're wanting this, @ thercery : [preview=Free Flowing Liquid Shadow]

There are other 'shadow' wearables that you can randomly obtain from the Hustler that also do neat light trick things. Or there's 'larger' ones too (cash shop) Or some that do smaller things behind: (& other Tumbled rocks)

Oh! And, in case you don't know, when in the wardrobe, you can uncheck the "Only show items you own" selector and try typing in words like "shadow" and set it to backdrop or foreground to see what might come up! But, you also may want to set the Show selector to Non-CWs so you don't get a bunch of stuff that's unbuyable. :p

[edit]and you can play with lighting with some other items too, like: that comes in other 'pet' colors more foggy but... reversed shadow! and these do real faint edits:

Thank you both, this was precisely what I was looking for! I'm all about the layering of auras, backdrops, and shadows, so this will be a great resource!

This is resolved and can now be locked!
