Making a fairy: Petite or Micro?

[SorrenRoux]

I'm planning to use my alt account to make a fairy avatar.

 

Which do you like better, Petite or Micro? Why? Which one is more common?

I prefer petite, because yes.

I prefer the micros because you can customize them and I like their shape better.  You can create your own skin for it , use any full perm skin texture and even buy skins.  You can make your own clothes too as the avatar uses the same clothing templates as the SL avatar.  You can copy some items you use for a normal size avatar and use them for the micro with the help of a script you get with it.

I prefer to be unique and a micro allowed me to do this.  I made my micro look like my normal size avatar - a micro me.

Anyone know how different they are in size?

I can't remember the exact measurements but a Petite is 1/3 the size of the average default avatar, a micro is..smaller than that

[Amethyst Jetaime]

I suggest you go the shops and try a demo of both of them before deciding.  They are the same height but the shapes are different.

Would love to talk more about this...trying to get started on a fairy character
