Ceera Murakami Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ceera was a vixen before she came to SL. She was a role playing character elsewhere. But even though she isn't usually Human, and even though my profile clearly states she's Partnered in SL (to Mariko Saito, played by the same friend that was Lady Marianne in the earlier role playing venue), and Married/Monogamous in RL, she still gets hit on by all sorts of guys (and quite a few girls, too). Dug out some images to share: Ceera and her Partner, Mari, before we came to SL : 2005 versus 2008 : New vixen form in 2009 : New Human form in 2011 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Toshi Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 well i dont really feel up to logging into SL and screenshoting both avitars so i'll describe instead. EDIT: okay, so I heard something while on forums that gave me a build idea, so i did log on after all, thus, i have pics for you. Start: - i saw all the thin "good looking" avitars everyone used, so when i started, i created a big fat guy avitar. - this avitar soon evolved into a fat green loincloth-wearing ogre, with a badly made club in hand. - I kept with this for some time, but then i eventually found a really cool looking hat. it was like those plaid hats you see golfers wear, except it was black and worn backwards, exactly like what I wear in real life. Also it had an awesome white bunny face on the front. loved it so much i built my avitar around it. (I've thought about making that on one of my hats in real life, LOL) Current: So i lowered the hat down mostly covering my eyes - added a ninja hood - bunny mouth/nose - black longcoat - punisher shirt - black pants - boots (which i retextured to metallic) - cross necklace - spiked metal armor on left shoulder - katana hilt (shortened off the blade so i could wear it on my hip without the sword running through my longcoat in the back) - black gloves - metal cat claws (wolverine/xmen) on one hand - red eyes and black/white leopard skin - also I have a reb orb on the back of my coat with several security features/flight feather built into it.

Ariel Vuissent Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 These threads are always fun! And I actually have a picture for this one. The "then" isn't from when I first joined - I'd fumbled with the shape sliders, notably in the face and chest. Pretty much everything she's wearing was given to me, as freebies, from someone playing "help the noob," which I very much appreciated - in fact, still do appreciate! I was never very happy with her, so once I finally put some money into SL, I fixed her up to something I was happy with. The most notable differences, to me - hooker make-up is not necessary to be sexy; the breast size slider doesn't have to be at 100; nobody likes T-rex arms (mine are a tad longer now than they are in my "now" picture); and of course, better hair and clothes do make a difference, although as freebies go, the dress in the "then" picture isn't half bad, in my opinion. This picture made me realize I'm a little taller than I'd like to be...guess I'll get around to editing that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Hancroft Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 /me chuckles I had fun with this one. I had never looked at myself in a "before & after" photo and I gotta say...I had a big laugh at my own expense! Back in 2008, I thought I was the hottest avatar on the grid! I even had a pro photographer take some shots of me even though I had the WORST shape ever (note my hips) and wore some of the most ridiculous clothes I've ever seen! Back then though...I thought it was the awesomest ever! LOL! I'm MUCH happier with my look now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have only one picture from my first couple years in SL, and that's a shot from day two. Not much has changed since April 2008, except my perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 This was in May 2007 when I and good friend Josie were getting ready to do some crazy stuff at a club. (I am the blonde with glasses). That was my second hair, first purchased skin and shape, first tatts. And, much more recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Vuissent Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The butterfly tattoo in your pic is lovely! Well, the whole thing is, really, but I love the tat! lol And the top is quite nice, too; very interesting, great to wear with a chest/back tattoo, it seems. May I ask where you found it? Edited because I can't type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thank you. The top is from Just Me and the tattoo is from HUZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem Lytham Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It's amazing how much animation has changed over the years. It's truly incredible. I wish I had some photos from my then and now but I'll just give you the run down. Basically, my then was dressed as a prostitute. I wore Blonde Tones flexi hair that was poker straight and fell to my tail bone. Spitzenhoisen (I think that's what it was called) get-up. So there was a girtle, mini-mini skirt, thigh high stalkings with epickly high heels, tube-top like shirt that was connected to the skirt by suspenders. Now, I'm dressed in a red Artemis toga that's flaming red and totally flexy. Gold snake around my waist and biceps, flaming red hair that's bundled ontop of my head and falls down my back. My makeup is really pale but, again, red lipstick. I went all out for the whole Artie look. Those of you who have read the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon will totally know what I'm talking about. I'll try to post a pic soon.

Kelli May Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Not the earliest picture of me, but the first 'stable' avatar I had. This was my forum badge and profile pic for quite some time, dating back to mid-2007. I never was completely happy with the lips on that skin Something more recent, cabaret-style.

Marianne Little Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 My first profile picture. Avatar about 2 weeks old, "Shy Caramelle" skin, all freebies. I had not learnt how to pose or anything, hehe. My current look changes from day to day. Tomorrow I wear another skin, hair, eyes, shape...

Requiem Lytham Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 @Marianne Little I love your avatar skin in your 2011 picture. Where did you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It's a full mesh avatar :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: The first one I buys.... Only 300L, so why not? http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Peaceful%20Haven/127/156/2000 From Utilizator, the skin is already applied on the full mesh shape. I tried several poses, laying down, it's rigged well. I changed the eyes and added hair. My original shape is 6'1 and this is about the same. And I did a bit of PS job on that image. Levels, curves, added shadow and vignette, a bit softening. But it really don't look bad when you see it in SL either. This image is only cropped. It's a bit jagged edges... My computer isn't all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We had a thread like this a while back, so I still have this image in my image list here. Here's a little more recent: And here are the "me's": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahata Love Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The blonde was the alt (anahata born 2008) and the brunette was my main (shiva born 2006) now the blonde is my main. 2009 Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Some dramatic transformations, here. OK here's an early incarnation, as a "fae." I liked to just do that dream dance thing all the time back then. In my Bare Rose fairy outfit. Sirena hair, with Shy Caramelle skin I do believe! A recent pic of my av. Current, though not long for this world hobby is raising meeroos. That's my av holding a Myrr Meeroo who begged to be picked up. 60L skin, 60L outfit. Still not too bothered by fashion!

MoiselleErin Teardrop Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 My poor little avatar looked pretty bad at first but I got her fixed up. Back then I thought she looked really good but I had no idea. anyways the shape is mostly the same but of course with better hair and skin and clothes.
