I was a bit confused at first, but then I realized if it said something like: 'Head/BOMeyes,body' it meant it was an alpha for the head only and the eyes and body were what you were going to target for BOM. So, whatever comes after the placement of 'BOM' in the alpha description is what part of the body will not be hidden by the alpha, since you have to keep whatever part you're applying BOM to alpha-free. (Unless I...got that backwards. Bp) As for the rest of how the head works in relation to BOM and appliers, I found this to be particularly useful: https://lelutkasl.com/evolution-line-female-head/ Though I'm not an expert in the head by any means, or BOM for that matter, I'd still be happy to try and help people out if they have any questions or just need to vent, so feel free to reach out to me in world if you catch me on. ♡

Pepe seems to have made a shift to pushing her latest skin, which has a 'Chubby' appearance, referenced as Curvy V2, I think. It's in beta release at the moment and it has BOM layers for the body and if you purchase now you get a 'complimentory head skin for Genus' that is an applier...n_n (why it's not BOM as well I have no earthly idea and think it was kinda silly because ya got the body in there. -.- maybe because Genus hadn't released BOM yet, but still. U: Can't complain too much myself, I guess. I use the head skin and love it. ><) Unfortunately she changed her skin tone pallet up with V2 and all original tones got noticeably darker. Supposedly she's reverting colors back to the old series or making the current ones lighter, eventually...supposidly...n.n I'm sure it was to help give the detail that's in the new skins to them, but none of her older head skins match the new ones now. -.- As for her older body skins, I think if you purchase the head skins the body appliers are suppose to be in there with the head skin purchase for skins V0 and V1? I could be wrong, but I know she has some small text signs in random places throughout the store that reference where the older body skins are. I'm unsure if her older skins got or are getting BOM updates since her biggest focus seems to be the Curvy skin right now and producing head skins to match it. >< I personally really loved her Yaya face skin. ._. ANYWUT. I totally agree that this thread could be an awesome place to keep track of some of the newer Asian-esq skin releases. Or an inspiration for a thread that for sure keeps up with that topic. U:

If you're using the Firestorm viewer, one of the most recent updates (I think the one that allowed viewing bakes on mesh) had a known bug that caused these lines. I get them often, personally. It's not so bad when I'm not doing close ups of things, certain angles (most similar to the ones in your awesome pics), and with certain windlights. Sometimes I can control them a little playing with various shadow settings before I take my pics, but it's always situational and not something that always works. I've heard some people have rolled their Firestorm viewer back to an older version and it eliminates them. Supposedly it's an issue being worked out tho. If you have the patience for it, Black Dragon viewer is amazing for photos. Lots of fun things you can do in it and there's never been an instance, for me at least, where I've had the weirdo lines.

I don't believe the ones I recommended are available in BOM. I own the first one I suggested, but I got it a long time ago and it only had appliers then. I don't recall receiving an update with BOM layers. It's totally possible there are BOM layers now with Tres Beau skins, but I couldn't honestly tell you. I personally use Pepe skins and just remembered Tres Beau. (And now that I think about it, Pepe has some Asian skins too with her V1 and V0 skins. >< )

Here's a couple of skins for suggestion (these are both for Genus): And this maker has a few other 'Asian' skins. I think even a few for Catwa heads if you decide Genus isn't your thing.

I bought the Erin head from their new collection, and I may go back and get Nova just cause it's on sale. >< just have them ready in case my skin maker I'm using decides to suddenly make for one of those two heads. But the new Lelutka heads are the best. ♡ And BOM isn't hard. I was a little intimidated by it myself. But the process is simply removing the alpha layer and attaching all the system layer stuff like attachments, and wa la! For this picture, tho, I was testing BOM for the first time and was pleasantly surprised when I learned I could use appliers with BOM? I didn't know that was a thing--but the tats are applied using Belleza appliers and their locations semi coordinated with the Belleza body HUD. The skin, body blemishes, and chest hole thing are all BOM. Unfortunately I'm still using all appliers for my Genus even tho BOM was released for it. >< just got to wait for Pepe to make that head skin BOM. ._.

BOM is amazing. >_<

This is me, today, being obnoxious and taking a picture of only myself at Catchan's house. n_n

I'm a little late to say welcome to the new year in SL, but I do hope everyone had a great New years day and all that. n.n;

So, uhm, I have no idea who @SaintNicholas2019 is, but thank you so much for the cool tiki totem things! I saw them yesterday in my inventory and sorta just had to do a double take because I thought that I had bought them myself and just couldn't remember if I had. XD they'll be perf for my new house! Also, thank you to @Scylla Rhiadra, @Eva Knoller, @Catrie, @Ivanova Shostakovich, and @RaeLeeH for all their fun gifts as well! sorry for no pictures so far, but I'm working ideas around what I've received and the photos will come! I hope everyone in the forums had a fantastic holiday and thank you all who participated in this thread game--and thank you to those who didn't but still spread some cheer around anyway! ♡

I changed my horns again after finding these at Japonica. =p They're a bit less flamboyant and far more raw feeling...and a bit easier to take pictures with. =w=

My absolute favorite holiday tradition, that started early in my childhood and went on until, well, it stopped cause life happens, was when on Xmas eve my family and I would pack into our little red mini van with huge amounts of baked goods and go out and deliver them to our family friends and some who we just wanted to show some care to, given how hard this time of year was for some people. Like one gentleman who, at some point, had lost his wife and lived pretty much alone from the world with no one who really checked in on him but us and few other neighbors from time to time. We'd always give him a pie or cookies that time of year tho, and in exchange he always showed his gratitude by giving us free corn from his little garden when he had them later in the next year. n.n But in this route of ours to give away all these goodies, the last stops we'd make would be at the military base that we lived 5 minutes from. It was a pretty decent sized military base, and we'd always give pumpkin pies and a few cookies to whatever random gate guards were on duty and thank them for their service. We'd start at the main entrance of the base then make our way to the back gate entrance through the housing area so we could see all of the Xmas lights the families living there had put on display. And the base made a big deal of the lights and really encouraged everyone to go all out with them. After everyone had gotten everything, we'd all go home and just enjoyed the remainder of our Xmas eve until it was time for bed to celebrate Xmas on Xmas day. :3

So, being the host, of course I didn't request anyone be my Secret Santa. n_n Cause that would have been silly. ; P However! Someone was kind enough to send me a gift anyway, and I love it! The sweater dress is SUCH my style! So, thank you, @CheriColette ! You're just too sweet!

Xmas at Cat-chan's kawaii roman bath pool place. x3

No thanks necessary. :3 It's just fun to see others giving. 💛
