I love to layer clothing. I get great pleasure out mixing various brands, but it can be challenging. Basically any top with sleeves is going to be a no go unless the jacket you are wearing is very oversized. Tops I most often layer are tank tops from brands like Evani and Gaia.Their fit for me rarely pokes through the back of longer tops or cardigans. Blueberry's jeans are also pretty versatile for fitting under various long tops. If you are looking for things to layer on top Coco has quite a few jackets/sweaters/vests that look great on top of other brands. I only know this from a great deal of experimentation.

Deetalez has skins for Origins as well, and they have big signs clearly marking which ones fit what. And for any skin you try no matter the maker, I would especially pay attention to the ads /signs to see if it mentions a certain Origins head that it fits. Just for those lip issues. And always demo for awhile . If you are anything like me, I impulse buy too much then find something almost the moment I fork over the money that I hate >.< If you are still interested in looking at one of the newer heads for the sake of more options, I would recommend you try Sasha. I also like smaller lips, and you can definitely get smaller ones on her. You will however probably need to adjust your shape quite a bit on those heads. Good luck!

There are lots of stores that cater to more modest clothing. The ones previously mentioned are really great. I will add : Tres Blah, Coco, Fashionably Dead, and Sallie .

Hey Mya, that is your system hair poking out of your head. To fix it, go into your brow shaper , if you are in Firestorm, it will have a little hairdo icon. From your inventory, right click and edit it. You'll have several tabs. First thing I always do is go to Style tab and make sure everything is set to zero. Then I make the texture for system hair transparent so you don't see it inside your head.
That should make it go away.

I cobble my makeup from all over. I think IDTTY has some shadows that would look great on the Ryn head (Mostly HD appliers but very pretty). Also another brand I think that might be worth grabbing some demos at is JackSpoon. They have HD and Bom makeup. Lastly Top1Salon. They are often in the Happy Weekend sale.

I want to say this is a Skinnery skin because even though the picture is blurry it looks like it has her signature freckles on the neck. Peach is a great neutral pale tone from them. The brows are separate and I am pretty sure they are from Simple Bloom. No idea on the lipstick as I've seen quite a few that look like that. If I were guessing which Lelukta that is, I would maybe check out either Fleur or Lake.

The new EVO X changed up that portion of the hud. It allows you to essentially tight line the eyes.
I did try tinting the line as well by tinting the eye socket, but it colors your lacrimal as well .

Janet's eyes look normal to me. The bottom of her iris is just below her bottom lid which is what my real life peepers do.

The idea of auto-hide is nice as it is annoying to have to go fix your arm pits or whatever is sticking out when you put something on initially, but there are some annoying things that happen with auto hide too. Like if a pair of pants is part of an outfit that comes with boots, some popular brands will auto hide your feet . So if you try to wear those pants with different shoes, your feet might automatically be alpha'd despite not wearing it with other items from that outfit. You can certainly fix it to show your feet , but I have noticed that when I tped to a different region that my feet would disappear again >.<

Really different look for you. But I like it.
(I'd also miss the old look, though.)Don't you worry, as soon as someone can make me some nice face lines for Evo X you bet I am going to wear them. I can still wear my normal bom stuff in classic mode though which is great while I wait.

I missed a whole page of replies some how before I posted. I will try to answer a couple of questions I saw. As of right now you cannot use any of the EVO X bom layers on classic mode as they are so dramatically different. Your EVO X eyebrows end up on your chin if that gives you any indication.
Big ole edit. If I could figure out how to strike out this bit I would instead of deleting. I was operating on some older info. Thanks @Marianne Little for the correction!

So I bought the Avalon head because I liked the shape of the nose and what I could do with lips. From looking into the stuff that comes with the new heads , I didn't get any impression that they were trying to make appliers be a thing again. In fact they gave us so much BOM make up I was honestly surprised. Last time I posted, I promised a couple of pics so here we go:
First me with my regular skin on and classic enabled:
It still has all the previous functionality of the older Evo heads. I look at the evo x portion as sort of a bonus feature you can choose to use. I typically wear a lot of bom layers to give my skin texture and some discoloration.
This is the EVO X skin that comes with Avalon barefaced. This skin is not my fave, but I think it will be awhile before I switch to a EVO X skin in general.
This is some of the bom make up included with the head . The only HD appliers they included are the ones that are in EVO hud already. Not pictured are an oodle of nice looking hair bases and eyeliners too. If anything I think they are wanting to move away from using appliers at all.
-
The main difference is that there is a new UV map that is very very different to EVO one . While using EVO X , it will require all new BOM skins and make up (I suspect HD make up made for EVO will not work either while EVO X is ticked though I have not tried it) as they end up in much different places than the ones made. That crazy picture I posted earlier is of a normal EVO skin while EVO X was ticked. Thankfully you can do all the other things you did with your other head including wearing your BOM stuff while Classic is ticked. If I were to get any of these heads , I probably be wearing it on classic for a longggg time since I wear a ton of different layers to get my favorite look.
I definitely see a difference in the texture quality, but I don't necessarily think its enough for people to get it just for the upgrade from regular Evo unless you just like the shape of the new head more than the other heads. I can post some pictures later . The BOM make up looked really good on it. Textures were not stretched . One of the other things they did was utilize the universal layer for the ears which allows them to also be HD.

I think there are quite few women hair stores that would still work for guys. If its the basic style you like, it never hurts to just try a demo to see if it fits. I have seen quite a few guys rocking hair from Tram (some of it is resizable).

The demo for the new heads is out but beware you are gonna look nuts with your regular skin until you change it to classic . Please enjoy forehead mouth:
Thats my nose in my hair >.<
This is where you change it on the new hud.

I don't actually normally post a ton, maybe every couple days , and usually not in this section. So thanks for helping me work on my post count a bit
. When I do post, I try to be thoughtful and constructive. If people like that then great, but I don't think too much about it. I do personally like things when I agree with them or like them, but no ulterior motives. You'll believe what you want regardless so it's really neither here nor there in the end.
But this is all a bit counter productive so I will move on to other topics, and stop contributing to the negativity. I hope perhaps you consider doing the same.

I can't speak for Rolig or the other girls, but I was not personally offended or hurt by what Doc said, but thought it showed a real lack of self awareness of what this thread was supposed to be about. Gopi asked us to talk about our nontraditional, "ugly" avatars, and why we used them. Reading over the other responses myself, those that participated were lightheartedly sharing their avatars with the rest of us. These avatars have an interesting side effect of allowing us to actually play, be creative, and step outside of our own real egos. So if I seemed irked it was because he was disturbing the flow of the conversation by interjecting his opinions on the physical appearance of these avatars, and it didn't feel appropriate to me. Later it got more cringey when he insisted on dehumanizing us all as computer graphics. It's the only way he could justify his poor behavior.
ANYWAYS. I hope this doesn't deter people from sharing their pictures and their own stories. It is fun to see them.

I love the clarity and the lighting in this, Laurel, the missing head notwithstanding. It's a really great picture.
Thank you. I was a bit worried to run shadows in Belli , but Black Dragon took it on the chin pretty well. That was the only picture I took where Eva's shirt texture rezzed for me though >.<

Check out Asteroid Box. They make clothes for men and women, and their textures/materials are really good.
