There really isn't a furry 'culture'. There's a bunch of people who happen to linke anthro animals and bam. There you go. Honestly, all you need to do is just find some furry themed clubs and hang out. IYC and Yiff are very popular (but also adult) so you'll have no problem finding people there. As for fursonas? Most people pick an animal that reminds them of theirselves or a creature they like. In SL, you have a wide variety of species and makers. It all matters if you want a certain style or species. Heck, you can even peice together one from different things like I did. I would be happy to hang out sometime and help you find an avatar you like if you want. I'm always wanting to meet new folks.

Try Chimera! It might be a seperate ear sold on its own. Looks goatish in shape too. First thought was the Luddi Lamb but this ear is too complicated. I hope you can find it!

You will have to ask the creator if you can. Otherwise, you're out of luck. For mod packs, the sellers most likely mimiced the skin style or got the PSD's from the creator. Keep in mind however, that many creators WON'T do this. You're best bet is to just try on your own or commision. How exactly were you going to use the skin textures though? Like, apply it? I don't know much about psicorp but they should have a PSD texture for modding. Following a PSD isn't too hard and with pratice you can get something good. If you need help though, I can provide some maybe. I haven't done a full skin, but I've textured avie parts.

Be prepared to buy a good amount of money for a custom avatar. Especially a full mesh one! The custom avatars I've seen cost about $200 and up. Otherwise, your best chance is just modding the heck out of something and hope for the best.

Sorry for the bad photo, the graphic in SL have been given me trouble if I bump them up.

I think it'll be fun to just post avatar pics. I think OP was just showing off their avie really. Not so much fishing for praise.

Just FYI, you're looking at about a few hundred dollars for a custom avatar. That's US cash btw.

It shouldn't be too hard to get the look you want. Especially if you go with anthro. The headshape in your picture is more realstic than toony, I suggest Kinzart Kreetures and their dragons. Eastern one seems to be the best fit and I personally have one and its very grand. Modding wise, you can't get full-perm textures. Instead, you will have to learn how to create your own skin and textures. There is also a trick to getting textures from modify prim items that I can show you. Skins are tough, but you might be able to get away with buying the easter dragon in white and then making the stripes a tattoo layer. Actually, I can maybe do that for you or you can get a cheap set that's tintable. I know a place. Hair is...well hair is always tough haha. The wings kinda look like the eastern dragon a bit. So, you may be able to keep them. You won't get a perfect copy without tons of effort. But, you can get something that's somewhat close. You WILL have to spend some cash though. The Kinzart Kreetures dragons cost about 1,000L. But, theya re really worth it. I would more than happy to help you out and give you TP's! Just send me a notecard or IM! : D

Not bad! I really like that hair! : O

Wow, you've got some nice parts listed. My advice is to wait and save your cash for a custom. It'll be very VERY costly though. Most decent avie makers start around $300. That's USD. Added to that is it seems your character is rather complicated which just adds onto the price. I've seen some fantastic modding done with multiple parts however if you have the time to re-texture and fiddle with it. It'll be cheaper in the long run and with so many parts it should look orignal.

I've had training in graphic and logo designs so I can most certainly help you. Are you wanting to pay? If so, I'll be inworld later tonight so just message me and we can talk. I am also trained in photoshop and other adobe programs if you really want to stick with photoshop.

Pardon me, that's what I get for late-night reading.

Unless the shorts are full-perm and the creator gives permission you can't sell them even if you make them into a skirt. Do you have a picture maybe?

I'm not sure about the ears but I know some similar ones. Free too. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Paws-Big-Ears/4101594 Fully mod and comes with PSDs. Can't really beat that.

I'm suprised there aren't any. Nor any mod kits to make one. The best advice for your friend is to buy a 'base' avatar and mod it to look like a coyote. I mean heck, I found someone who modded a bat head into a pig's head and it works very well! I'm not sure how different wolves are built compared to coyotes but if theren't aren't too many differences I've heard that the Kinzart Wolves are good. You can check out slarf.com and they have tons of wolves there.

I hope you don't mind me asking but, Are you sure its other people being stuck up? Sometimes it can seem that way but you have to remember that friendship isn't something that just appears the instant you start talking to someone. Sometimes you have to start up a convo yourself!

Spare Parts has some very nice handhooves. Comes with the texture and also mulitple hand states. Very nice and I personally recommand them. As for avatar mods, as far as I know there haven't been any creators forbidding them. For Curious Brand, no I don't think Uchi cares if you mod as you can see by the sheer number. If you want a better selling mod, go the the chinchilla. As for Curious mods, there is a horse muzzle avaiable for the rabbit they sell for free. But, I modded it to fit the felis somewhat decently so you can try that. But, there might also be a mod for the chinchilla. Try looking at Chimera. If you want, I can give you LM's later on.

Keep in mind even if you get the skin it won't look the same. If you want it looking exactly like the pic, get the shape. It even comes with a style card. Anyways, did you ask the creator?

Grey isn't a good color to shade with. It makes the picture look FLAT and just strips away color. For shading, always choose a color that is slightly darker than the color you are shading. Just don't make it too grey. Just look at your skin for example. The shadows aren't grey but instead are colored. It also helps to be very light and build up. And keep in mind your light sources! I suggest looking for shading and digital painting tutorials. While you aren't exactly doing that, they can have great tips for blending and shadowing. Basically, skin is tough to work with and I suggest using references heavily till you get the hang of it. Lastly, be easy on blur. Its too easy to mess up and overdo. You seem to be okay with it but just a word of caution.

For an outfit like that, you could try a BDSM store that sells Latex or something. I've seen a few dresses like that around the grid.

Doomed Space Ship. You might want to be a bit more specific.

But, can one brag about how much L they don't have?

I have yet to have any failed deliverys. I suppose I'm just lucky or not enough people buy :catfrustrated: Personally, I hope they fix the DD problems instead of getting rid of it. I'm not renting land just to place a box down. Then again, I doubt LL would do any fixing anytime soon...

Seawolf have the best feral dragons that I know of. From there, you can pretty much customize it. If you want a 100% custom avatar...prepare to pay. It costs at LEAST close to $500. That's US dollars, not Linden. I suggest you buy a full avatar and work from there. It shouldn't be too hard since your fursona isn't too grand or fancy. Just maybe get a horse tail or something.
