Thanks Alwin! I guess I'm hoping to find someone who's interested in helping me first (I'm assuming anyone interested in helping is capable enough to create a variety of different kinds of avatars), and then we can discuss what kind of avatar I'm looking for. Generally speaking, I want a male mesh avatar (I'm not even sure I said that correctly, see? ha ha). A couple of years ago, I posted a similar message and this very kind young lady from Canada offered to help. We met up in SL, I explained what i was looking for, we agreed on a price, and she created a wonderful avatar for me. I suppose I'm hoping for a similar outcome this time.
