I thought I saw a thread like this here, but I couldn't find it with some quick searching, so I decide to make it! (*￣3￣)╭ What is one trend you love and one trend you hate! Either in fashion IRL or fashion in second life. A trend I've been really liking are dolls. I was in some shopping events and saw 2 different sellers with barbie doll style boxes for your avi and another seller with barbie styled dolls you can hold. If I had tons of money IRL full truth I would not spend it on clothes for myself. I would spend it on dolls. I lean more towards BJDs, but Barbie is a nostalgic fave, and I mean hey my body type already looks like an MGA doll half the time. A trend I hate (or I guess just don't understand) is clothing where your body parts are part of the mesh. I don't know if this is confusing, so I attached a picture to show what I mean and with that you can already see my first big problem w(ﾟДﾟ)w ALIEN ARMS HAVE ATTACHED TO MY BODY AHHHH but yeah that's way too light for the rest of my body. I had tried on a different item with added arms before BOM and I had hoped that with the introduction of BOM, creators could just slap it on the arms and call it a day, but I guess not. Also, slightly less of a concern, these bad boys are completely static. No movement. Zilch. Nada. I'm someone who likes my avi to be running around in circles and doing backflips. Feels weird if my arms won't reflect that.

I've mostly been posting my anime avatars, so here's a more realistic one. No edits at all, not even cropping. I think I'm getting a lot better at this.

Hey... What's that behind your back? Just bumped up the brightness and added some effects to the eyes.

I wanted to enter the Halloween contest, but I missed it. :((((( So here's what might have been my entry instead. I'm not sure if I like the crop, but some leaves on the other side looked kinda bad. Here's the edited version. I mostly just bumped up the brightness slightly and added some effects to the eyes.

I tried to add a soft pink aura to this image, but I don't know if I made it... I'm pretty bad at editing. I posted the raws in a different thread.

I need to figure out how to get the DOF to be less sharp, the settings go over my head.

I've been on second life for a bit, and I've been using freebie's all this time, and frankly, I'm quite tired of it. I've already singled out for Maitreya for my body, as everything seems to be made for it, but I want to get a head that's not too different from my current one. However, I may just end up with it plopped on the new body. I think LeLUTKA's Ryn might work from some pictures I've seen, but I want to hear any second opinions. Thank's for any help. ~Glass~

There's an entire guide on pastebin, https://pastebin.com/F0Xu3fXe I don't remember where I got it from however.
