I used your display name plus the information in your profile about running the festival uk network. Interesting how the website that is listed in your Linked In page, has a page not found instead. You also haven't posted in awhile to your Linked In. So how can we believe you will produce anything for anyone here in SL, when you refuse to link to a sample website that shows off your skills in creating savvy websites?

Hi I'm Kevin I have 10 years experience in Social Media Marketing and Website Creation. I've also had on & off approx 7 years experience inworld doing all different things. I enjoy building & exploring and meeting people.
If you own a club or business inworld and thought about a RL Presence then contact me now to discuss the various options and your requirements.
Webpage/Social Network Creation.
(A webpage to list all your upcoming inworld events. An about section to introduce your club or venue).
If you already own a facebook page let me know because I can link up your facebook page to your webpage.

It would be great for you to show a webpage portfolio of work you have done. We cannot rely on text alone. It's the same as how you would approach individuals or companies. You must show what you have created, for anyone to invest their money into your pockets.

Hello Second Life!
My name is Exalos Halestorm. I'm looking for a fun environment to earn some lindens to pay for my expensive lifestyle. I have business and manager experience in IRL but here in Second Life I'm still learning but will to work hard for that money. I'm open to work as long as it doesn't cross some of my hard limits. I like meeting new people and excited for the second life experience.
Thank you,
Exalos
I'd like to add that when I went to the Thirsty Camel, I found the host old paint, to be very engaging to where I wanted to stay and gamble. I did for awhile. the host and the gamblers are very friendly. People make friends there, it's part of their slogan so you may like this type of job!

I think she is referring to being a Greedy Tournament voice host for the Greedy Multiplayer game. It's a pick I found in her profile. no idea why she is so vague about the job. I'm sure this place is in search.
These types of jobs do pay very well. You do need a steady internet connection, a quality mic, and be friendly and outgoing. Be able to do the job on your own and multi task I'm sure or at least be able to pay attention to the scores of the players to announce what their score is to make it more exciting and suspenseful of who has more points in each round.
The name of this place is called, Thirsty Camel Gaming ,GREED, No Devil, Winks,4play, etc.
and yes it is listed in search.
The other job she could be talking about that is also in her picks, is to be a real estate agent but you work on commissions and that is a much harder job.

- Check for where there are mismatches and use the WARP and PUSH tools (in Paintshop Pro) or LIQUIFY (in Photoshop) to make small adjustments. Keep the tool brush small to avoid distortions.
I wish I could use liquify in PS but my graphics card is not powerful and it's faded. do you know of another way to warp and smooth out with any adobe software? I have the "all apps bundle"

Another tattoo I created with bevel and also drop shadow, using a color to closely match the artwork itself, turned out looking like wax.
I did a brighter version too and to me, the dark original looks like dried wax and the brighter version looks like wet wax.
So that is what I named them as.
I still want to work on this tattoo and either make the eyeball brighter or maybe put some darker strokes around it, in fresco, so that it pops more and you can easily see that it is an eye.
Just really in love with how this turned out with the "eye heart u" inside the "wax".

Hello everyone. I want to let you know I have been adding fx to my art designs in photoshop, after first creating in adobe fresco.
I add bevel and sometimes drop shadow, with the color trying to match the color of the artwork.
It really brings more depth to the tattoos.
I'll share some examples of what I have created recently.
I have a prettier version of this photo, with hair added but the hair covers 2 tattoos and this is more about showing you examples, than pretty pictures.
As you can see, adding bevel really makes these tattoos stand out.
I created the squiggle brows, bandaid and heart on the nose.
No drop shadow on these tattoos.
I also will create a new layer on top of my sketch layer and create 2 to 3 swatches of colors next to each other.
Then I choose the eyedropper for multiple colors and it will pick them up, so that when I paint, I paint with 2-3 colors.
It somehow makes my watercolor brush much more thicker and creates cool effects.
It's what I did with the bandaid.
If you draw a shape over the bridge of the nose, it automatically makes it curve around the nose once placed on the head.
Pretty interesting to learn this!
I really love the bevel look on the word, "no".
I really hope you try this yourself and see what you can come up with!

Hi guys, i am new on tattoos, i got a shop already Dark Tattoo and i got lot tattoos already, i using the kits from signature,legacy ,maitreya ,men and woman
the question is, is any another tool to make easy and make full body tattos and all that? at the moment i do sleeves,top and back tattoos, but when i see on the shops some fullbody tattoos i think maybe is a easy template to use o technic , i use photoshop, any help from experts will be very apreciate , thank you
here are my mp tattoos at the moment
Hi there. I've noticed that the seams are not perfectly aligned. They either allow the texture to lay how it will on arms and legs, or the shoulder to arms, without manually painting the other side for a better match on the seams.
That would take a very long time to do that, which is why it's not seen like that.
There could be perhaps an artist or two that paints the other side manually, but I doubt it.
That would take up extra time from creating newer designs to push out into their stores.
I have gone to your store and didn't see any listings, and after logging in with all filters enabled, still no listings.
I hope this doesn't mean you have given up.
I suggest creating designs that only go on the top of the arm, instead of trying to make the textures match up along the seams.
For me, it's not worth the battle.
Next time you want to show off what you can create, upload your photos to Flickr or a blog, then link to that. Forum mods frown on linking to stores, both inworld and the marketplace.
Also, it is very frustrating when people refuse to reply and give an answer, when they know the answer.
I suggest joining the official store groups and if they have a discord server, to join those, as they will have a help channel you can ask in.
You should use the uv template that comes in the dev kit for each body you want to create for. Meshbody has their own uv maps, that you can grab from their website.
Open the notecard that comes with their bodies for the link.

But yes the top and lower psd files from that robinwood website is useful if wanting to get started in tattoo designing :). Or yes if you have uv's for other bodies and that. you could even use those also.
Hi there. It looks like you want to teach people how to create a tattoo for new residents. You could create your own thread instead of taking my thread over. while I do appreciate you wanting to help, taking over another person's thread isn't the way to do it.
I do know how to use uv templates and I have the creative cloud all apps bundle. My problem at the time was to reduce the jagged edges and blurriness, because I am a perfectionist.
Majority of the tattoos I see inworld, have a lot of jagged edges and some are blurry, on closeup.
I just recently learned that I should be downsizing my designs in photoshop to 1024 squared. If I allow the sl system to size it down to 1024 squared, it will bring in artefacts, unwanted extra pixels, further distorting my texture.
With that new information provided to me from the Lelutka team in their discord server, I did a test design, resized from a large resolution to 1024, and it indeed looked amazing inworld.

It does feel that way for sure. I love encouraging people to create their own art as I don't like seeing stolen art inworld on bodies and faces.
Encouragement is also empowerment. I want people to be happy and not frustrated, like I was.
I was fortunate to get help from both the ebody and lelutka discord servers.
I am going to tell you exactly what I do, so that you can learn from me and make your own amazing art for SL.
I am now painting on the Lelutka HD uv map layers, because these maps have bigger areas in which you can create high definition textures.
The script in the applier is what routes it to the specific part on the head, which means I don't have to resize it to fit the Lelutka uv head map.
HD uv maps designs cannot be created as bom system layers, they can only be an applier.
While I have seen so many customers complain about HD appliers, I now know why artists choose to make HD cosmetics.
I am still using the same resolution size but now my ppi is larger. Some designs looked better than others, before I learned that using a powerful graphics design program is much better to resize than sl ever would do.
Sometimes I share my creation process in the Lelutka discord, but I always feel no one cares, or that it will get lost in all of the blogger shares of people showing off their Lelutka heads, so I delete my posts.
So, if you want to make original tattoos and cosmetics for specific heads and bodies, it's best to use the uv map for those body parts, so that not only does it align correctly, but if they have their own uv map, you will get a more polished texture without the bleeding edges aka jagged edges on closeup view.
Start with a document at 4096 by 4096 with the ppi at 1200.
Open as a layer the uv map file into this document. In Photoshop, I click Edit and then Place as embedded, then click the checkmark to set it in place.
I zoom about 35% in, as I have found if I zoom in too close, it distorts the textures for me inworld.
Or, that could have been because I used to upload at 2048 squared.
Once you are done with your design, press ctrl+alt+i to open the image size window.
Don't change the width and height. Only change the ppi from 1200 to 300. This will automatically change the WxH to 1024 squared.
Upload as a local texture or send in a ticket to ask for access to the beta grid. they will make a copy of your inventory and send it there, then will ask you to login to that testing grid with the official sl viewer first, then you may use any 3rd party viewer on the 2nd login and future logins.
If you are creating for the Lelutka heads, unpack the creator kit. Create a cube and in the contents, add the LTA script. then place the design texture into the texture window, using Local, click Add, and select your resized art image.
Close the build window and click the cube, then on the dialog pop up menu that comes up, press which area of the face your texture should be routed to.
Your texture will not have jagged edges, as long as you do it this way.
I also add the regular sharpen filter from the Filters window in photoshop.
Then I click the adjustments tab and add vibrance and curves. I look at the design on the transparent layer to see how bright it becomes while also making sure it has some contrast, which is what I use the curves adjustment for.
That's all I do for adding effects in photoshop before uploading to sl.
I recommend trying Adobe Fresco. you get it for free if you own an ipad.
Even with the trial version(30 days) on pc and mac, you can still do a lot with the tools and brush packs you get. If you upgrade, you get access to the clip mask tool, which is great for painting inside the shape design you made from photoshop's pen tools. you must always have your shape with a filled color to see the painting you are doing on the clipped layer.
When I create a shape with a pen tool, I like using the curvature tool in photoshop, it's so much easier for me than the default pen tool.
Also with your upgraded plan, you get a big amount of brush packs, plus the ability to install brush packs by professional artists, which can be accessed from some of the preset brush packs when you open those windows.
In fresco, there are shape tools and a freestyle shape tool that allows you to create thin to thick strokes with masking and other options. I love that tool, it's so easy to create when you use a stylus pen and an art tablet, which is what I have.
I bought a cheap art tablet from amazon, from the company, Huion.
They also have their official website if you prefer buying from official websites.
If you have any questions, please reply back.
You can also animate your designs in fresco as well. There are always new tools being added in each update.
There is a new feature and it's the best feature that LL added to the test grid!
Now every new purchase you make in the main grid, is automatically synced over to your copied inventory in the testing aka beta grid!
That is so awesome! No longer do you need to keep sending in a ticket to ask for your inventory to be copied over again.
If you use the official viewer, the syncing happens much faster while using a 3rd party viewer, can take up to a day or more to be synced there.
If anyone wants to teach people how to do very basic textures without all of the information or with further information that is different than what I am teaching and so on, p[ease create your own thread.

There are some great 3D people props out there. I love this one - looks like Britney Spears from that "Whupps I did it again" video.
(You can remove that hideous negative comment from that boy on Youtube. I've had similar troll-ish remarks occasionally from kids who don't get Second Life.)
There are most definitely. It took me quite awhile to find a store on the marketplace that I liked the look of the statue props. Deby Frequency's store is called Disturbed. She creates all of her mesh props with full permissions, and at very low prices.
I'm not seeing any similarity in her face to Britney but she is a pretty girl statue. It's Oops I did it again. Whup is to strike a person.
Yeah, I could've removed the guy's comment and I'm pretty sure it's an older guy. I didn't want him to get away with bullying me, with thinking that is okay. I am also hoping it deters any other stranger to comment rudely. It's the first time I have gotten a terrible comment on my channel.
I usually get random comments praising my videos from gamer and video production channels, so they can have their channel looked at.
I hope you no longer experience rude comments on your channel.

I created this studio interview room look for a new series on my YouTube channel. This is a YouTube preview photo, with all of the details in the description box, in my Flickr.
I really love the girl prop I found, looks as great as the photo ad. Feel it brings some depth to the environment.

This is a closeup portrait for this bom tattoo I created in Adobe Fresco. I titled it, love me, just as seen on the face.
This is the Inez evox head, which I am in love with. I really like her mature look, but I added one of the mature cosmetics to it from the head folder.

You cannot have a platform or skybox building in the sky above your Linden home. this goes against the covenant for all Linden homes. You can use a sandbox like Builder's Brewery. It's low lag ad you can use one of the platforms to place your white box in. you'll have the natural light from the sim. You can set up one wall and a floor. Make the wall very wide and tall, to catch light from left, right, front and top. You can either choose to create light boxes and wearable light spheres, or you can choose the eep light with personal lighting to a medium light setting, then edit in your favorite art software program.

Hello,
I snapped a photo of a male avatar dancing on stage as he performed at a live venue, singing on stage.
I'll be showing the original inworld photo, then the 2nd inworld photo with a different eep light with personal lighting added.
Then there will be 2 after photos; the first edit and the 2nd is from today, following a vector style photoshop tutorial. I had to do different adjustments, as this photo is not high resolution.
I'd rather share here with a larger audience who will appreciate the avatar art, and not clutter my flickr.
1st before, shared environment eep lighting
2nd before, with eep light and personal lighting
1st after, final edit
2nd after, vector style edit
I really like my first final edit but the 2nd one looks very trippy and cool to me.
The tutorial can be viewed on youtube, created by texturelabs channel,

I decided my vlogs were not useful. I keep trying and failing to make my basic art look good in second life. I'm sure people know how to create tattoos. No one wants to share how they do it because ask and get ignored.

My photostream was cluttered. I have hidden the videos and photos for now. I'll be uploading them to my youtube channel. When they are all uploaded, I'll create a new thread, so that you will know they are available for viewing. I'll be sharing them as links with no preview, so that they can be viewed on youtube only.

Kytteh mentions "your own Website," and I wonder how many have one? I do: https://enyoshop.com
Wondering what you all think of it?
I like your website. I had a look at it, when it was first mentioned in your thread. You do create beautiful textures.
While I am here, I'd like to share with you, an ad I came across on Flickr, through another person's faves, as this person is new to my photostream and she had faved one of my photos. This is for a tank top and undies for women, full perm. The description box leads to their mp listing, with policies in the listing, too. When I saw they offer maitreya petite, I thought about the woman pressing and begging you for lara petite sizes.
Edit: forgot to add this lol. One of my clothing sponsors has their own website and a former sponsor, also has a website. there are numerous designers whom have a website, and list it in their in-world profile.

Or it could be a bug. I often delete my content since it feels messy to me with the assorted media I post. Flickr says I have 70 uploads, but I don't. I think Flickr was slow to catch up with batches of deletion. It now shows the correct number, for content safe and moderate. I'm quite surprised it shows 42, because before, it only counted the safe content.

Thanks for the sarcasm and put down!
I don't use sarcasm, unlike the horrid people in the forums do. I also was not dissing you. I cannot control how you react, if you choose to react negatively with pessimistic thoughts. The last sentence was out of humor but also based on your own words. I often respond with people's own words in reference and this pisses people off. I suggest perhaps not being negative so that my replies will not be based off of those type of words you chose to use.
You did say if they sell. Also, you assume new businesses won't be seen but it's the complete opposite of that.
I recently helped a woman at the genus store with her appearance. She is new and comes from IMVU. She soon will be creating for SL. I'm pretty sure her store will be seen. We chat on discord so I'm sure she will be advertising on media platforms, too.
If SL stayed how they were when they first began, do you think many people would know about it?
But, SL has always been marketed, that is what you do with a business, if you want to succeed.
I have no problems with people who do it for fun. If it's for fun, why not give everything out for free?

I create in SL for the joy of creating, if it sells then great! But my main purpose is to fulfill my own creative needs
If you do not advertise, people will not find your store. Then your creativity will be for naught, as you are wasting your lindens on uploads, for you to place inside a store, for yourself only? It sounds like you are dragging your feet to advertise, because it is a chore to do. There are plenty of skilled store managers out there on the grid, if you do want to share your creations with the SL community.
If you don't want it shared with the public as you say, then why not just have your building on your private parcel, and roam the aisles, staring at your handiwork? Click a vendor, wear your prized possession, and flaunt it out on the grid.

small business in SL that it won't make one tiny bit of difference
I'm seeing new, emerging stores, because of Flickr. Many new brands are following my flickr acct, and I also find them in the flickr fashion groups, too. They do get noticed and they do profit in sales.
SL advertising has nothing to do with your rl info.
You can also advertise on instagram and tumblr, a blog and even your own website.
You don't have to use FB, whom does shut down accts if they have no rl name.
If you create a page however, I haven't seen those taken down, as it is a business, a brand name, under the gaming category.
Instagram is also very popular, like flickr, to advertise with. there is also a big imvu community on instagram and many of them also play SL.

Show some Petite love
I purchased the kupra kups and it was a mistake of an investment. Very little support for kups and what i have seen, isn't my cup of tea. People love large bosoms, skinny waists, plump hips and thick thighs. Not only the consumer but the designers as well, enjoy this look. They want more realism but also, it's not that realistic for thick bodies to be only tiny in the belly region. Ebody Reborn has a good start with the support it has. At least with reborn, I can make any size small breast, instead of with kups, which keeps me to 1 size look.
It all depends on what each creator likes but sure, asking is no issue. Just when it becomes more than a simple request, is when it crosses the line.
