Caroline Takeda Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hello fellow residents, I want to create an older lady (50 to 60) using mesh and bento. Can anybody suggest which head, body, and skin I should use? Google didn't help much with that. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) There's a very good ageing kit called "Age Yourself" by @Izzie Button at Izzies. (<LM) It works with a regular mesh Bento avatar and buying a specialist "older avatar" is not necessary. Age Yourself is available for LeLutka, Catwa and Genus Bento heads. Izzie also sells other accessories for other body areas. Demos are free to try. Izzie's attention to detail is superb. Highly recommended.

First question to ask nowadays is ... for what kind of head: EVO X enabled or SL UV enabled ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Blakewell Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I have never been a fan of Poema's older skins. I am a that age range too, and most women I know in that age range don't look so stern and dour. There are folks that age better than others, of course. One lady that I knew that smoked and drank a lot and was outside a lot without sunscreen looked a lot older than most women her age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be issues with finding skirts and dresses at knee length that don't break when you sit, dance or walk. Shirts are always a bit on the shorter side too but I don't mind since it makes it easier to pair with bottoms from a different store. So yes, my belly is often showing or the skirt is shorter than I'd wear in RL but all my bits and things are covered. My issue is that the add ons for mature skins don't blend in as well on darker shades. They're just too matte, also. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathlen Onyx Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) OH I don't think Alice looks good at all. That may just be me but I can't imagine that it would be received very well in the general pubic. Maybe for RPing certain situations but I mean Jennifer Aniston is 54 and she doesn't look old like this. There are many beautiful women that are in the 50-60 aga range that don't look like this. If I wanted reality I'd look in the mirror, lol. To me this looks more elderly grandma than mature.

Kylie Jaxxon Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'm with you on this!! Too extreme. I'm 67 in RL, and my face (lthough it has wrinkles) looks nothing like this amount, and I'm a smoker also. LOL, and my body looks NOTHING like that either, maybe a little droop in the B**bs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also isn’t it odd that much slack on the body yet look how young and firm the neck is. I think that is one area a woman approaching “elderly” looses elasticity first.. aside from breasts which hers appears buoyant.. not even going to mention what’s going on in her cheeks… Edited June 11, 2023 by SpiritSparrow Skydancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Blakewell Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think I've had the best results taking obviously adult skin (like 30's up) and adding some of the Izzie's BOM layers. Also, adjusting the following: eyes: smaller, open less wide, a little closer together, a little puffier, a bit of eye bags mouth: less plump and full, less wide, play with the other settings chin: adjust jowls, jaw shape and chin-neck (double chin brows: lower Also body changes like the breasts being less perky (gravity), a bit of a belly and love handles, etc. Right now I'd say she's mid to late 40's with this look. If I used the deeper (greater opacity) wrinkles and more faded hair, she'd be looking fin the 50's to 60's. And this is Raven, hardly one of the most mature-looking Lelutka heads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Heartsong Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Izzies is one of the first places I'd look as well for BoM enhancements that aging on skin very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 On Etsy there is a seller who makes some pretty great photoshop brushes for aging photos and whatnot. I’ve used them for second life so if you have a bit of skill with PS you might be able to do something more appropriate for your needs. If you need a link I can send it.
