Where is this hair from?

[Keli Kyrie]

...and do they have it in blonde?

(yes I asked her and she doesn't know either. She told me to find out!)

 

 

[Willow Danube]

you took this pic? Did you checked the property of the hair?

[Keli Kyrie]

It says this but the person on it does not show up in search.

ETA But when I hit the info button I got her IM. Sending message now.

[Keli Kyrie]

Turns out you can edit the hair. Now if I can just figure out how to make it blonde.

ETA: I don't think those hairs are single prims so you can't really change the colour without changing the whole textures. You can only tint it. If the hair base is Dark Red it might be harder to tint to blonde. I suggest you to change the whole textures itself if it is fully modifiable of course. Use these ones below... there is one texture in there that looked the same as your hair.

Thank you Libera and Willow what do you think?

[Sassy Romano]

The "apparent" creator shows up in search with a hugely blank profile.

Screams of (probably) illegally copied hair to me.  Not to say that it's the named person, could have just been a prim that was used as source to make it look like theirs.

Just doesn't look legal to me since most hair creators have shops or other products to sell and tend to highlight those in their profile.

Just looked, "Analog Dog" by Queue Marlow sells a hair exactly like that called... wait for it... "Madison" so I think it's fair to say that it's illegally copied hair.

[Lyra Blackthorne]

Yes stolen content.  I am sending a link to this thread to Queue Marlowe the owner of Analog

[squashy Beeswing]

Yes.  As soon as i saw the OP and the original pic i thought 'Analogue Dog'.  Their curly hair is very distinctive.  Stolen.

As you can see in this image, the hair is set to full bright, which means it will glow in the dark. I'd only wear it if you don't mind this eerie side effect.

If you turn the full bright setting off, you'll see a motherload of alpha bugs (meaning that the locks in the background will randomly pop into the foreground, which is not a pretty sight. It would even give M.C. Escher cognitive dissonance). The really talented hair designers know how to mix solid textures with alpha textures in a way that avoids this kind of alpha sorting problem.

@ Sassy, Lyra, and squashy you are right! Here is a side by side comparison. The blonde is Analog Dog and the Redhead is the other. I ended up buying the blonde for myself, what do I do with the other just delete it?



[Venus Petrov]

I agree, stolen content.  It is always good to check the profile.  If you have this hair, Keli, send it to Analog's owner and tell her where you got it.  I am glad you were pointed to the real shop and bought it.  Enjoy!

[Argus Collingwood]

Madison looks great on you. Yes, just delete the stolen one.

[Kascha Matova]

Yup. That's it. Analog Dog was my favorite hair locale. I have that one from there and there's a pony-tailed version of it too which I also have. They have several colors in the hair packs and I do believe there is a blonde version. Here I am with it below (from my earlier badge photo, hence the white strip for my name)
