That was a rhetorical question. 😊 Apart from that I think what they tell us and what they actually do might be not the same. But that's how business works.

From a commercial standpoint the free players which never spend a cent of their own money in SL must be a thorn in Lindens eyes. I guess you remember that they years ago tried to remove the freebies from the market. And many merchants even agreed to that.

Thank you. I noticed and replied. What you said about the difficulty and the high learning curve, I can only agree. But then, Linden is not blind. The guys must know that as good as we do. And still they add feature by feature. What is the plan behind?

I spend about 100 USD monthly in SL, Fairre. I'm not sure - and I don't mind them -, but I think a large part of the community are free players. With a forced premium Linden would get rid of them. Perhaps you remember years ago they already tried to get rid of the freebies on the market place. That failed because the resident blocked that plan.

And if yes, will Second Life survive the end of free accounts? As for me, I don't mind a forced premium account for all. I'm willing to pay that. But In my opinion they had to reform the land business then. Paying costly Premium programs AND high rents for an average piece of land at the same time, that's not affordable for many.

If we ask for a better SL we must be prepare that we have to pay the costs for it. Linden is a commercial company not a charity (what some residents seem to think). They won't invest money without to get something in return. That might be for example a forced premium account for all. In that case the question is: can Second life survive the end of free accounts?

Ah, ok. Just to clarify. The second part of my reply about trolling was a general statement and doesn't mean that I consider you as blind. 😊

He looks a little bit like Terence Hill to me.

Wow!

I use Maitrey 5.2 to build female avatars wich serve as models. I can only agree to what you said. Also important for me as BOM fan that one can activate/deactivate BOM with a button click. And that a HUD with BOM fixes is including.

Thanks for the hint. You are right. Well, if you experiment much and produce often 20, 30 pictures of a set, that goes sometimes on costs of the quality. Shouldn't happen, I know. The few pictures I post here are just the peak of the glacier so to speak.

Alaskametro has boychest addons. They are tintable. If you use them together with the Maitreya Flat chest addon, you get even more tiny breasts.

And different genders - allow me do add. lol

If that is meant to me, I consider discussions about if a thread might be posted under a wrong headline or about the cleavage size - rather as childish than as thoughtful feedback. Also to abuse other people works for original and copy games. However, you have some trolls here in the forum and you are obviously blind to see that.

Well, I mentioned in other threads that my work is mainly meant to a male audience. And that a forum like this one that's dominated by female posters and visitors might be not the right place for me. I considered already to move on. Now it's a good moment to do that I think.

Ah, here we have true expert. Please show us samples of your pictures. That we can learn from your creative talents.

Perhaps you should seek professional help with your issues? All avatars above are fully dressed. They just show some cleavage. These avatars have faces. If you see only boobs, you have a real problem. Don't blame me for it. Apart from that while hundreds of other pictures posted in this forum are technically imperfect and other hundreds are not exactly posted under correct titles you only reply negatively to mine. Why is that? Are you trying to get my attention? I feel flattered, but sorry I'm not interested.

On this picture I'm all three. Well, actually I'm male. But I use to build female avatars too which serve as models.

More natural breasts with stretchmarks.

Exactly. Same here.

No, you aren't bad. Selling pictures inworld is almost an impossible mission. Well, there is the SL market. But at the market aren't specific categories for art made in SL. Avatar art or inworld landscape pictures for example. SL art gets listed in general art categories and has to compete with a million rl images starting from classic paintings to plain porn. Click some art categories and watch the results. Well, some might say one can use keywords to find what you are looking for. But what about people which don't know what they want? lol Anyway to find real life hardcore porn you don't need to use keywords. Just click on "Erotic Art" and there it is. Has SL art a lower value than porn? SL art should be also to find quick and easy on the market or not? Anyway, that is only one reason in my opinion. Another one is more of a general nature. What can people do with pictures except to use them in their profile or to put them on the walls in their house? Not much. If anyone has the choice to buy a new mesh head or to spend the money for an image, what will he choose? Well, you might have still a chance to sell artwork, when you are lucky and find a niche or when you produce for a certain target group or collectors. But that is a different story.

A redhead for a change. Maitraya 5.2, classic skin, custom shape BoM. Light with EEP.

Thank you, very kind. 😊 As for the boobies. Yes, illusions, illusions. But men are often so much more in love with the illusions they have about a woman than in the original, aren't they? If you meet a lady in SL, blonde, oversized boobies, skimpy dressed, with garter belts on and talking dirty, you can bet that actually there is a man behind. 😄 I met some of those, when they applied for model.
