    Can I get a head and avatar that looks like myself in real life? I've already dreamt of having custom avatars that resemble me accurately.

     in fact, not all human have ideal proportion

    there are slightly different between left and right side, limb length foreach side not perfectly equal .

    there  are 3 major body types

    ectomorh,endomorph and mesomorph

    As an artist I can tell you that most of the bodies you see in SL are wildly distorted in terms of realistic proportions as a default :) ... and that's especially the case for both leg length (far too long) and torso length (far too short), as well as heads that are far too tiny for the body they are on. It's just the look that many human avatars seem to sport, unless they go for a major degree of exaggeration as a look (I'm talking at you Kupra, and also the 7'6" tall male avatars who expect a 5'9" gal to dance with them).

    As an example ... almost every single default female shape that is supposed to look "normal" (i.e., not like some bubbly kawaii 18+ girl with cutsie baby face) has the crotch set up where a woman's belly button actually is, about 18% too high. That's because the legs are set to be too long and the torso too short. I keep saying that obviously none of the major body developers have actually ever studied anatomy ... they certainly don't where hips are supposed to be for sure. ;) I mean, I get the leggy model look but it's beyond that.

    So yes, you can easily adjust the major brands of male body to be exactly as you like, except most of them will be quite tightly toned/muscled, unless you apply a BOM skin that softens that look. The cool thing about SL is you can be and look however you like, proportional human, lithe elf, a wolf, or even a house cat

    I'm grateful for all the information! May I know what a BOM skin is? I have very soft skin in real life until the usual male avatars in Second Life. Therefore, I'm asking about it. Also are there softboy shapes that are not too dramatic in the glute area xD?

    There are some tutorials floating around on the net that show how to do it.

    Basically, any head somewhat close to your RL head's shape will do. Then use a photo of your self to make the skin. The result is alarmingly realistic.

    If you have seen Disney's Haunted House you have seen numerous faces projected onto a standard head. It is surprising how different and realistic the heads look considering how similar the foundation is.

    The real skill needed in SL is in making the skin. There used to be people around that offered the service. I have

    Would you suggest any specific tutorial for that?

    Thank you so much everyone for the help! By the way expense doesn't matter to me as long as I get my own avatar. Hopefully I'll be able to find a creator for that. But unfortunately I'm not aware of many creators since I'm new. But I'm grateful to you all! Meccha , Anabelle, Ayashe and  Natales may peace be upon you 🕊️
