Housepets!

Ok, here I go...
I play Second Life, and I want other people to try it...
Before I go any further, I understand it's not for everyone, and that it's not perfect.
But I like it anyway...

Second Life is a virtual world made entirely by the players. It is really really hard to explain in words so I thought I would post some info about it and answer some questions people have about it.

please be gentle D:

I played SL...it is pretty cool (and time consuming for me) and...*GASP* I wonder if I can make a HP avatar...

I have... I have made several already

Oh cool! which ones? :3

I helped someone make a Grape and I made some for the characters in the RPs

bixlow wrote:I helped someone make a Grape and I made some for the characters in the RPs

Hmm RPing in SL? what has this world come to?!?! (Joking)

Oh, that's very cool, maybe I should make a new character and check it out again!

I meant for the Forum RP, on this site

Oh, so you made characters from the RP in SL?

Yup, I (technically) work for a SL design company, and modding avatars makes for good practice
I generally work from Curious Inc. and Chimera Industries, since they offer a wide variety of free quality avatars

Heh, I want to have a look at them :3

I might post them later

Which characters from the rp did you make?

I have made Monty, Lucky and the Cake sisters
(I worked from images and descriptions)
I also just made a Daisy-esque avatar for a friend (like just finished)

Ahem--without my knowledge or consent?

I'm not selling them
I got bored and needed practice
think of it as fanart

Well, could I at least see them, please?

I know, the eyes are off...

Um, okay.... I don't think I could sue you for that--those look nothing like them.

D:
Thats low... practice or not, I worked hard on those

bixlow wrote:D:

I'm sorry....

I was mostly commenting on two things: 1) they have no bodies, and 2) other than fur color, they look identical.

Anyway, I didn't say they looked BAD--just that they don't look like Honey and Vanilla. If you hadn't told me that was them I honestly wouldn't have known.

I LIKE them, and I admit I don't know what it took to make them--but I just don't recognize them as my characters. And maybe that's the best you could have done with the program you had to work with, I really don't know. But I almost don't even know which is supposed to be which....

Hehe, no prob, here is the original from which I modded it

Those look nice bixlow.

Great... well its official now, i'm a furry in second life
thanks for sinking me to a new low bixlow!


love that model
it's well done, the ears move, the tail waggles.

Funny story behind that avatar, it (plus a ton of others by the same guy) was once for sale, till the guy who made it realised that other people were making really bad quality avatars, and charging more for them... so he decided to make every one of his products free... Yay...
Because of that, sellers had to drastically up the quality of their work and lower their prices

So how do I get a furry skin for my avatar on Second Life? I just joined so I have little to no knowledge on how it works

When you get online, I can walk you through the basics of SL

I got through the tutorial no problem, I just don't know where the store is, or how to buy things

Yup, no worries... I had someone explain things to me when I joined too

darn timezones

EDIT: Look what you all missed last night, look how much fun we are having

Yup, bixlow got humped by a crazy guy, and I was watching. I'm the white wolf by the way. Thats only temporary until I can get enough Lindens to buy a Snow Leopard skin.

The person in the left-hand side has one heck of an enormous raccoon tail.

I think he was a lemur actually...

well, you guys have given me an odd first impression of second life...

Its an odd experience

Please don't let this get anymore "odd" that it already is, okay? I don't want to have to mess with any posts here...

I've been trying to avoid discussing the more mature aspects of second life (since you need to be a verified adult to see them anyway)

I play SL a LOOOONG time ago....

And by long time ago I mean:
When casinos were allowed,
When there was only one continent (I remember when the introduced all the snow sims, it was awesome),
Before the teen grid (I was like 16 when I joined),
WAYYY Before flexi-prims and sculpties.. we actually had to make things with all primitives!
When everything on the search list wasn't "IDLE FOR CASH!" or surveys or other crud.

I miss those days... especially the casinos... In my opinion SL's gone down the toilet since then, it seems to me to be all about the money instead of the socializing. Though I could be wrong. I haven't been on in a while and I'm downloading it now! We'll have to hang out and you can show me what's happenin' nowadays

In fact, SL is what introduced me to the furry fandom, so I have it to thank for my corruption today :3
