MegaRose Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks for the words of support! Even if I wind up not going with my dream school, I could probably just go into the local community college...but I wanna aim high. Anyways I have a new relevant Art: The avatar is a work in progress, but I started it without knowing what I wanted for it. And now I've sketched out roughly what I'd change with the current version. I mostly want new leggings and wings, both of which I could probably make myself with a little learning. Leg textures are probably not too hard, and I think with wings I just need to stick a 2d image onto a prim or something. I don't need them to flap or anything like that. There are paler green skins on the market I can pick up too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Simple wings are easy. Ff you want to give them a little movement, you can turn the prim into a flexi-prim with flip of a switch. However it does take some fiddling with the setting to get them to move right without being droopy. Here is a tutorial on how to make some super nice wings on your own.

MegaRose Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Still haven't revisited the fairy idea. I keep getting distracted by video games and work. But, I went to the Gothic Garage Sale and got some new boots. This character might not look familiar...but she's basically a revamp of one of my first avatars: I just couldn't look at that hair anymore. So I fixed her up all fancy. I also finished uploading and listing all my silly bunny pictures. I'll just link the fatpack. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaRose Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yesterday I spent a little time tagging and organizing some freebies I got. There's screencaps on my Flickr, I only decided to draw one of them: I should start drawing more of the outfits I find, it might make me more motivated to sort through my inventory. Lately I've spent more focus on my webcomic, but drawing avatars is a good warmup before tackling a page. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaRose Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I started sorting through some hairs, and turned it into a fun game where I messed around with poses and an emoter. And then I drew them. I gave this character bigger eyes than a realistic human could possibly have, but otherwise she's realistic enough to make a decent reference model. After doing the basic lines I scribbled loosely in all these grays to build an illusion of artsiness, like this was concept art for something. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaRose Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I wound up creating a character because I had found a hair and dress that matched, and wanted to keep them together. The end result is this girl: I haven't finalized anything for her as a character but for now I'm thinking her name is gonna be Juko. She might become my shoe model, because I was gifted the deluxe pack for Slink feet and now I can wear shoes that don't completely cover the foot! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanova Shostakovich Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 @MegaRose, I need to work on a snapshot of my mermaid I like. I'd like you to do one for me when I have the snapshot done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see are fun drawings of cute avatars. I'm taking that as a challenge! And since @Ivanova Shostakovich is preparing refs for a mermaid, I figured its a good time to look at some mermaid stuff I got as freebies a while back. I'm pretty sure this predates mesh by years because it's mostly a leg texture meant to work with an AO. I combined it with some furry parts to make a Worse Avatar: And then I made a Bad Drawing: Well I also made this, though: Her name is Merlona the Merfox. Like merlot, because she's grape-colored. She's not officially a complete avatar yet, I might go back and tweak her. She currently has a purple wolf's tail sticking out of her butt-like region above the mermaid tail, but it's clustered with a bunch of fins so I might need to simplify. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaRose Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 I found a place selling fatpacks of old hairs for like 50L and got one. It's unrigged, so I was hoping I could angle it right for a furry head. No luck, but I got close: This hair will still look good on a human avatar (or maybe on a Kemono) so I'm still happy with it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaRose Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I went searching for stuff around that one renaissance faire that's happening right now. I spawned in dressed as my wolf girl because that's what I'd been wearing last, then realized she should at least be dressed appropriately. So I took the top from a medieval costume dress and found a flexi bottom that matched her color scheme. Added a different hair and walked around like this: And yesterday I had the idea to use one of the many, many ancient freebie animal avatars I've picked up and see if I can repurpose it as an anthro. I couldn't get the legs to stick on properly (probably because I was overlapping onto a Kemono body) and the whole thing is still very lumpy and primmy but I found it interesting. I drew her the way she'd ideally look if I were able to build her from the ground up. Also I realized Flickr links embed as images. But they're huge, and it looks like resizing them isn't an option like with uploaded files...? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click that bar to make it go back to a link. Also, at any time you can double click on a picture to open a resize dialog box. Specify the width in pixels and it will scale to match.

Let's see if I can get it to work... I can double click to resize an uploaded image but not an embedded one. Oh well. I made this girl today just to try out a freebie dog avatar I picked up. I mixed in parts from other free avatars and then stuck on some wings I had gotten out of a gacha. The horse legs aren't too well connected but I like the concept. If I ever picked up some mesh hooves I could probably recreate this look on my Kemono. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaRose Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hmmm, it's been a while! I've spent a lot of time sorting through my inventory...then discovering more free stuff, and then having to sort through it. There's so many hunts in October that I got really sidetracked! Anyways my biggest new acquisitions were the TMP free body and an Akeruka mesh head that was a free group gift. I've never tried to adjust a mesh head, so this was pretty different for me: The free TMP body doesn't allow clothing layers, but I had already picked up tons of free mesh with a TMP fitted version. The free body doesn't have high feet, so I wound up basing the whole outfit around the flat shoes I had. Still looks pretty good. The AK head is Omega compatible so I could play around with makeup, which is fun. I don't have the animation hud for the head though, so she's got a perpetual bored scowl. I think I'll just form her personality around that face. In other news, it's Halloween: I was just playing around with stuff, and this looked pretty cute. I actually made that top texture myself, for the default Kemono top. I made a free version too, in monochrome...which I later realized made it tintable. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

471c3 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Waaah this is such a cool concept I love it!! All of these avis are so great and your renditions of them are also Sometimes I'll go around populated areas, find an avi I like, and draw it just for me.. But I never thought of drawing my own!! what a fantastic idea !!! Edit: also, where did you get that mesh head in your most recent human avi ??
