Neorift

Can you explain to me what a shape is? I don't see myself "making" anything by myself, as I'm not artistic and I'm lazy. I don't want to learn how to do this stuff. I just want to buy. I already bought a bunch of Lindens and I want to make my character look good in as little time as possible. I have no idea where to start looking for buying a "shape".

Hi I just started playing about 10 minutes ago and I have no idea how to customize my "character". I'm assuming to not look like a noob I need to find a cool avatar first before I start dressing up. When I searched the marketplace, all I found were tan, dark haired, gay model Guido looking avatars... I was thinking about making my guy look similar to what I do in real life, which the closest thing I can think is Ryan Gosling(because people tell me I look like him all the time). Can anyone help me find a legit white dude avatar/skin? Sorry if I'm using inproper lingo.
