Emilyaya Lenroy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I haven't been on sl in over a year. I want to give my avi a complete new look. Can anyone recommend a place to get a good skin and shape? I don't want to spend more than 2000L on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Jaxxon Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Not sure about your L$2000 limit, but check out LAQ or Izzies..both have gorgeous skins. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli May Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I just happened to drop by Tuty's today, and noticed they have full avis for L$2000: shape with multiple versions of skin, hair and eyes. They even include an outfit & shoes. Or course you'd get more individuality by hunting around and mixing & matching for yourself. Getting make-up tattoos is an option to refresh an old skin too, as you can get some very reasonable make-up packs.

Ry0ta Exonar Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Suggestions would depend on what kind of looks you are going for. Classy lady? Goth girl? Cute anime gal? Invisible pony rider with frowny face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demosthaenes Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 JStyle has male and female skins -- many, many of them -- between L$0 (group gifts [the group is free to join]) and L$80, and they are very good. I got my skin from there (you can see it in my badge) and, from what I could see, the female skins are all excellent also. They rotate the skins so there are different free skins every other day - so basically all the skins are free at some point or another. The skins come with modifiable shapes. Pick up some of the currently-free skins and shapes there, and try them on; you might get several that you like. And if you do not like them, you can just delete them -- and you will not have wasted any L$. Here is the slurl to their (current) store location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Liberation/28/250/3804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like good quailty skins and always try to find some good high quality skins for the more "realistic" look. The invisible pony rider does sound tempting though...

What is with this "mesh" stuff I have been hearing about? Mesh is just the keyword to describe stuff that has been created outworld and imported into Second Life, like clothing, eyes, shoes, hair, etc. The difference is is that creators with high computer graphic skills can make us really high quality items, but, since it is new and the latest buzz word, you have to avoid the copy catters and the poor quality meshes.

Currently there are a few skins on sale at L$50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore be careful, before buying mesh clothes always try first a demo to see does it fit nicely on your avatar. If it does and pleases you then buy.

Bobbie Faulds Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 what a perfect time for this question. If you are going for female, the Womenstuff fashion group has a hunt going on right now. There are at least 5 different skins and several different avis available. some of the skins are hunt exclusives. It's 50L to join the group, but you'll get an entire makeover and wardrobe for that, 200 stores in the group. And come Dec 2, most of the stores will be putting out a second gift, so a total of 400 gifts of skin, avis, clothes, jewelry, hair, everything you need to make your avi fresh and you get to see a lot of what SL designers are offering. No, I'm not affiliated with Womenstuff. I have taken several of my alts through to freshen them up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Filthy, Al Vulo, Belleza...those offer cheap or free group skins. There are now many more. Check FabFree for updates. Shapes are a matter of personal taste. Skins are easier to try and see. So it's hard to advise you on a shape. You might find a skin you love instead, and then tweak your own shape to fit it. There are a lot of cheap or free high quality avatar accessories now. Was not the case when I first joined. So, have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
