Huzzar indeed!
Very nice work!

Ty so much! X3 <3

Awesome so far. :D

looks sweet!!!

Jeeze you're learning so fast. XD I showed you too much, too much!

LOL! People are still surprised to find I'm only 2 weeks old on SL. XD
I tell them I had a great tutor who showed me the ropes. ^^

Did ya now? I'll have to meet em! ;o

Lol X3

You can also use a png that's interlaced if you wanna avoid using alpha's.

:D This looks really good.

Ooo, I will definitely remember that! I tried a png, but I hadn't made it interlaced so it showed up solid. Ty for this tip! :D

No problem. XD i've been doing it a while, so you pick up a few things. admittedly i still prefer alpha channels but the png option works just as well, and it's easier if you're making something semi transparent.

You sure learnt fast

Thank ya! I remembered what you said about custom avatars really standing out, so I hope I can make mine unique and memorable. X3

If you ever do open up. I'd get one for Connor, he just never looks quite right sadly.

*gasp* I didn't even know you were in second life, Connor! But yeah, your design would be pretty neat made as a custom!

My inner Lego affecinado is tickled by the concept and it's an interesting if not difficult at times way to chat.

If it helps, you can add that you have my full permission to post any mods that use my avatar parts.

Also, awesome work! If you need any of the original textures off of the head (like shading and such) just let me know.

Ooo, thank you hun!^^ I will note that in the future, I appreciate it!
And actually yeah, if you don't mind, having the shading layer for overlaying would help immensely!
I'm so glad you brought that up and am offering! ^^ <3

cute~ XD

I see a familiar face there :D

Lovely texture work indeed ^^

I will indeed pay a visit to that shop if/when you open ;3

Wow! Just really wow! You are definitely learning fast, darling! That looks so utterly amazing! I have been trying to do a little bit of modding on my avatars, but I can definitely never manage to make anything look as awesome as this!

*giggles and huggles*

I really believe that if you would get more into this and open a shop, you will be real successful! Yeh! I would definitely come to you!

where did oyu start? Were you able to export the existing skin or did you have to guess where things would end up?

There was a .psd file that a friend sent me that is used for making skins. But there are basic grids in SL that you can use to tell what goes where.
Honestly, I picked up things from all sorts of places. Google was my best friend, as were some friends already on SL. ^^;

I was more referring to the sculpies, I don't realy know how one would start texturing for a sculpie they ha dent made themselves.

Ohh, actually all I did here was the skin/mod of the head. The head itself was made by as she owns her own line of furry avatars in SL.
She gave me her full permission to post my mod that was based off of the head she designed.

Personally, I'm learning how to sculpt in Blender bit by bit. It's got a HUGE learning curve, but I'd recommend if you're interested in sculpties, look up Blender.
It's free, and there's tons of helpful tutorial videos on how to get started and even more advanced stuff. It's wicked awesome. :D

So far I follow exactly what you're saying. however I still wonder where you got the template to skin the head. I imagine you cannot download the sculpie to paint on in blender or the original texture to edit in photoshop, so how did you figure out where to put the eyes or the nose ect. Did you just guess? Did she give you a copy of the polygon map?

There's a place in SL called Ivory Tower Tutorial Island. If you go there, and go left of the big building, up a hill, you'll see a small little pavillion there.
In there, there are templates for skinning objects. They look like number grids mixed with different color boxes. You apply that grid (its a texture file) to any object and use it for reference when making the texture. In the notecard that you can get for how to texture objects, it should have a link to the 512x512 image on the internet. Use that as your base layer in w/e program you draw in.
It's not easy, at that point, it's alot of referring to how the grid fit on the head, and where you want markings/lines to go. Alot of trial and error here, for sure.
I hope this helps!

thanks!
