"One of the most exciting aspects of Second Life is the ability to customize your avatar in a very detailed way. Over time, thanks to the quality of the heads, bodies, skins, and all the different BOM levels (bake on mesh) offered on the market, the users’ creativity is manifested in the creation of Avatars of exceptional quality. Whether realism or fantasy is the user’s preferred choice, the customization possibilities are nearly endless.

In this post, I talk about it with Nihan Evermore, who caught my attention on Facebook after posting images of a high-quality avatar (many appreciated his work by writing in the comments)."

"Harbor is strong stimulated by the colors. The way in which she constantly shifts colors, how she closes or opens the room with colors, gives colors to move slowly or quickly, forms that she creates with them and occupies them differently and touches us deeply on an emotional level. Colors and shapes are perhaps Harbor’s greatest fascination."

So I was excited to learn from him what his ideal home is and... what would be his dearest passion?" Read more on the blog.
