Wymora 0 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I cannot afford mesh and I am not sure I really care for it, to be honest. I think it's kind of overrated. Anyway, I was browsing the market for a while for skins and I got disappointed real fast. It's so hard to find anything.. Most are for mesh and there also a lot of obvious scams and demos to sift through. Can anyone recommend some creators to me? They don't have to be free items, because I plan on getting some lindens. As long as it's not crazy, please share. I am asking about everything for avatars to wear, but I mostly seem to be having trouble finding skins. Link to post Share on other sites
angeoco 547 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Skin creators tend to no longer release system skins, but make old ones available as freebies/cheapies. You could have a look at the lucky boards and group gifts at the 7 Deadly Skins shop, and I think Wow Skins sell a big package of their old skins for very cheap. Link to post Share on other sites

Jomo, has still lots of system skins for both genders...also lucky boards for some items and freebie stuff... ( yes for the gentlemen... also a free...youknowwhatpart, even one of the best looking free ones ) Link to post Share on other sites
angeoco 547 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Current Lumae skins seem to include system skins too. Link to post Share on other sites
Zeta Vandyke 17,724 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Redgrave has system body skins, and also system cloths http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/REDGRAVE Skins Fashion/94/154/21 Edited January 26, 2018 by Zeta Vandyke Link to post Share on other sites
Wymora 0 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 I will try looking these things up. I forgot to mention that I am a female. Link to post Share on other sites
Claireschen Hesten 7,783 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Glam affair has system skins still available and a section of cheapies if you ever decide to put money away to go mesh their skins are the included appliers for the maitreya body so saves having to fork out for separate appliers Link to post Share on other sites

In that case, you should also look at Esode and if you want a young look, KimKy and Tokyo Girl are still very good options. KimKy only sells skin/body combos as far as I know but they're cheap enough to be interesting even if you're only interested in the skin. I haven't bought a skin myself for a while so I'm not up to date but I'm surprised if you can't find system skins at all. Most people seem to use mesh bodies these days of course but many don't like mesh heads so they need system skins too. Edited January 26, 2018 by ChinRey Link to post Share on other sites
Derekmate 1,381 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 There is tons out there maybe you need a bit of hunting but that is the fun part. Link to post Share on other sites
Clover Jinx 13,845 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Lumae (mentioned above), WoW Skins, Plastik, .:Soul:. and Stix all still include system skins. The last three may seem like just fantasy skins but they do natural tones as well. Fallen Gods includes system skins but I don't recall seeing many natural tones. These are full skins (face and body), not the freaky body only skins with blank heads. Plus you'll have appliers included in case some point down the road you decide to get a mesh body and/or head and won't have to worry about matching. Link to post Share on other sites
LittleMe Jewell 38,168 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 There are definitely still plenty of system skins out there. I'm still using a system head but switched to a mesh body last year. Thus I had to do the hunt for a new system skin with a matching body applier. I found tons of system skins, but it did take a bit of searching to find something that I really liked and was similar to what I had been using before (that skin creator was no longer in SL, so no chance of getting a body applier to match it). You do need to read the display ads careful and/or look at the contents of what you are buying. Make sure the ad indicates it is for a Classic or System avatar. Also, some of the ads are not very clear that they are only selling makeup tattoos rather than the full skin. Link to post Share on other sites
Rhonda Huntress 22,836 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Does LAQ still sell their Glow Skin line? I wore Tasha 2 for years. Never found anything I liked more until I was on my 3rd or 4th mesh head. (Pre-mesh me with LAQ Tasha 2 skin in Nugat) Edited January 26, 2018 by Rhonda Huntress 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel Vuissent 1,331 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 LAQ is definitely worth a look, as mentioned; I adored their glow line, and the essentials line was gorgeously detailed and customisable. Curio, if they're still around and have kept their old skins, was also popular back in the day. Pink Fuel I know for a fact still has their Classic skins available, including a freebie for avatars under 30 days old. Ask the Skin Addiction group inworld for advice, too; it's full of knowledgeable people who give really great advice. Link to post Share on other sites
Rhonda Huntress 22,836 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 For what it's worth, LAQ has all the old skins on sale now. Dirt cheap! Like L$25 per full pack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up a bunch for a some of my alts a few months back - before some of the freebie mesh bodies/heads came out. A coupld of the alts are still wearing those clothes, just because I've been too lazy to log them in and get their mesh body/head set up. Link to post Share on other sites
