Clem Marques Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Hey everyone. Ever since I upgraded my avatar to mesh and got a Lelutka head a couple of years ago, I've worn a scar on my face. I never thought much of it, just liked how it added some asymmetry to my appearance. Recently, a friend said I'd look better without the scar. I tested that out, and I think he might have a point. Not sure though. Took two pictures that look exactly the same except for the scar, to make the comparison easier. I'd love to hear your honest opinion on this. What looks better: scar or no scar? Thanks in advance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Honestly, they both look fine. Neither one is better than the other to me. It's only mattered to me if I thought my avatar looked good or not. People have often said I look better with hair although I love how my avatar looks with simple hairbases. Some like it, some don't. My opinion is the only one that matters to me. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayashe Ninetails Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Agree with Rowan. I only go by what I think looks good on me. I'd look nothing like myself if I listened to everyone else's whining about my face. Therefore, I've got no opinion. Wear what you like! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It sounds like wearing a scar that YOU like, is a great way to filter out people! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I think additions such as the scar are often an attempt to tell something about the avatar or the user. As such, it makes your avatar more interesting. If he were a RP character it might signal that he's been in battle or had a rough life. Some people want to signal something like this about their RL self too. Thus people seeing the scar will probably wonder what it means, which will mean they are at least thinking about you and your avatar. Some people might be turned off by any kind of injury or deformity on an avatar, but those might be the kind of people you'd rather weed out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm signing on with everyone else. The scar is fine, no scar is fine; it all boils down to what you prefer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnilWay SpiritWeaver Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) I prefer the look with the scar. For an avatar it adds distinction. That said I am getting 'Witcher' vibes, if you wanted to lean into' the scar. Edited April 22 by UnilWay SpiritWeaver 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Personally I like to see avatars that are a little bit different in some way, and a scar is a great example of that. But the advantage of SL is adaptability to the circumstances. Unlike RL, you can simply remove the scar on ocasions in which it doesn't seem appropriate, and put it back on when it does. You don't have to choose one or the other - choose both! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Nova Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I like to make my skins different from the 'perfect features' of most skins. I won't pay the 700-900 that the skinners want to charge for a head either. I did shell out for a Modelesque Velour body skin, because I love the tummy, but my head has a freebie. Then I add all sorts of BoM add-ons, mainly from Izzie's, to put in the freckles, creases, veins, and spots. So my take on your head is 'great', whichever one you want. I like the cuts, they add character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Incognito Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 More character with the scar! But maybee try a middle way and just keep the scar on the nose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Scars add character. I would much rather see a scar and the story behind it (like you are role playing) or adding mystery to an avatar. I wear that one to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Vortex Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I think you look good either way. Besides, chicks dig scars. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlammedSam Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I'm likely preaching to the choir at this point. Still, throwing my 2 L$ into the pot, I have to say that, your avatar, therefore your choice. That being said, the scars tell a story, and I wouldn't mind hearing about it over a virtual mead. 😃 Or even Romulan Ale. o.o Or Blue Milk. ^_~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 10 hours ago, SlammedSam said: the scars tell a story, Here's a possible story the scars could tell to anyone who @Clem Marques meets that doesn't "like" the scars: 1. I got these scars before I met you; I have a life besides my relationship with you. 2. Do me a favor, and treat me in such a way that I do not end up with more scars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Imperfections are like anything else.. Someone is always gonna find something to like or dislike on a first impression, imperfections or not.. So go for broke and enjoy what you enjoy.. Look what trying to be perfect got so many movie stars in Hollywood.. Many of them can't even frown anymore.. hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
