Would it be possible to make the character described below as a custom avatar?  If it is possible make the character described below then how much would cost to have it made?  How good would the avatar look like it you added a pair of horns to the custom avatar?

 

Physical Description: Entering into view is a humanoid male who towers eight feet tall.  Ash gray bony plates cover his massively muscled and built body.  In both of his large pointed and webbed ears, he wears two golden earrings.  Above both of his eyes are luminous, sulfuric yellow orbs is a large ridged brow.  Rising from his back are three pairs of large, ash gray hooked horns that curve downward.  A long talon of bone comes out of both of his large hand’s three fingers and thumb.  A tapering lizard-like tail that measures five feet in length protrudes from the end of his spine.  Coming out of both of his large feet’s four toes is a long talon of bone.  A backward curving horn protrudes from both of his heels.

Yes, very possible. How much you 'd need to pay depends a lot on your quality requirements. If you want to have someone make a complete mesh avatar from scratch, it's going to cost you a lot of $$$ it would be much easier to try and build your avatar from different components.

Things you will need:

Shape:

I think 8 feet is just on the edge of what you can get with shape sliders, but making a tall shape or maybe adding in some deformers wouldn't be too hard.

you can also make your ears pointy with your shape, but some heads support pointy ears better than others.

(Mesh) Body & Head:

What kind of body you get (if any) will affect the kinds of clothes that will fit you, and if any of the other parts you get are rigged, what body they are for will be an important consideration.

Eyes:

You can attach a glowing yellow sphere prim to each of your eyes. If you want pupils you might need to play with the texture a bit.

Ears:

Earrings are not hard to find or you can even make your own simple ones. if your head does not support pointy ears you might need to get a sepparate attachment. you'll also probably want something to make your ears look 'webbed'.

Horns and Hooks:

Horns are pretty simple to make out of prims, and should generally move with you correctly if you attach them in the right places.

Hands:

A three fingered Hand with long hooked 'fingernails' might need to be a custom piece of rigged mesh, assuming you want to use bento hand animations.

Feet:

a four toed foot might also need to be a custom piece, but you could probably get away with having it be unrigged, or having a 5 foot toe with the 4 fingernails and hoping nobody realizes the discrepancy. The nails and heal protrusions could be prims. . .

Tail:

There are a good number of rigged bento tails on the MP, or you could just make a flexiprim tail.

Look on Second Life Marketplace for Complete Avatar / Demon. Some of those come close. You can ask the creators to make a custom version. Or buy a stock avatar and accessorize.

Sample demon from Marketplace. Search for "Complete Avatar / Demon" to find this and others like it.

Back spikes. This is an attachment to a separate avatar.

You can definitely get all the parts, but getting them to fit together and look good may be tough. Look for things that have a demo version or an in-world store, so you can try, or at least see, before you buy.
