The first link is an eye set, the second link is a lingerie set. Since you liked the head shown in the first link, you should try reading the description again. It has a list of heads, one of which must be the one in the picture. Edited October 7, 2019 by Wulfie Reanimator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they use the most attractive avatar in product pictures? That's good marketing. You shouldn't ever use an ugly avatar to showcase a product. The focus in that first link is the eye, everything else is just "window dressing." I understand that it might seem frustrating to you, but the base head seems to be this one with these parts added for the hair (from the same store as the first link), besides the custom textures. Obviously, the "out of the box" avatar isn't as attractive as the custom-made one, but that's why you might want to talk to the creator and commission them or learn how to customize things on your own. Creativity is how you make a unique avatar that is eye-catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opnion they should list that they are wearing on these ads,Like Utilizator does and others,to minimize future annoying IM asking about the ads and negative reviews,this will make aloooot easier everybody, a win win.

So far, every creator/shop owner I had IM'd about other content in their pictures had been very kind, too bad you had not such luck. But anyway... I'd advice you stop limiting your search to the marketplace. It does not contain all stores and all items. Instead, I would research what popular brands of heads are available and test a tons of demos. Getting a head you like will be a time consuming adventure, because how your head looks like will be heavily influenced by the skin applier and shape you are using with it. There are probably 100 different looks possible with just one head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for something like this, you will need to learn how to put a specialised avatar together out of "spare parts". A Mobian may not be a furred animal (I have no idea what one is, tbh) but it certainly falls under the category of "furry avatars". For a Mobian, you'll need to start with a furry head as a base, and furry heads are a LOT cheaper than human heads. Unlike human heads they are all fully modifiable and perfect for customising. Paws, Rainworks, Feliz and Happy Paw are a few stores that offer customisable furry mesh heads in a variety of shapes, and most of them are L$500 or under. You'll need to learn how to make your own textures, using Photoshop or Gimp or something similar, or buy a suitable head texture made for a different kind of animal that you can modify. Learning how to mix and match is part of the process in making something specialised like a Mobian. I reckon you'd be able to make this avatar for L$1,000 or less. Best place to start is to join an active Furry group, or go hang out in an active Furry location such as Luskwood, and ask there, how to learn all of this stuff.

In other situations your advice is spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
