I had a question, and thought this may be a good place to ask it. For those of you who may follow me on Furaffinity, you would see I have posted a couple of pics of my avatar from Second Life. The reason this has bearing, is after many, many years, and many,many avis (short for avatar), and ooohhh so much in game currency, I finally have an avi that looks reasonably like my Pleasure Bon Bon self (not exact, but pretty close). I was wondering if it would be acceptable to post a URL link to a couple of pics I took of my Second Life avi, in the fan art section, or would this be stepping on fursons paws by doing this?

(testing to see if this even works,the lighting was not great,I do look better than that. I also don't know how to post it to the pinup/fan art section,unless it has to go through a moderator)

Yeah I can see it now, and that looks really close to your character.

I can't imagine how long that took.

Very beautiful, darling.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

it took literally years and years, and soo much in game currency. It's not 100%, but I am finally very pleased with it.

you can. or you can just by the Linden (in game currency), win it in contests, or make something to sell in world. I myself run a tiny plane business.

Create it yourself? Commission someone? "Build" from other avis?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

I myself hired several commissions to get my avi look, as well as did meticulous modding of the body shape and careful arrangement of things. But you can also buy ones that are already done,and still look great. For instance, you Silvador might get this one:

(that's the price in lindens, not real money obviously)

How expensive are commissions usually?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

Depends on what you want to get. There is quite a lot of work already in world or on the Marketplace for SL. It also depends on what you want made, if you want it scripted,etc.

Scripted, how do you mean?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

Made to move or do certain things. Like for instance, my planes must be "scripted" in order to fly, shoot weapons, have hit points, burn up when killed,etc.

I see, are scripts generally hard to write? or can it be learned easily?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

From what I've understood, they are not terribly hard to make, if you have some decent computer education. To me, they just look like a bunch of numbers and jibberish. hehe

Lol, fair enough, so you have employees then?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

yes, I have a scripter/ texturer, a builder, and tester (someone who is an expert on ww2 planes)

Do you need any new positions filled or stuff like that?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Jan 2008 Posts: 853

I am always looking for new talent, that can build quality "mesh" planes or a few uniform pieces, that are low prim count, but very detailed. I also am in charge of the air force for the ww2 group I am part of in SL, so I can always use new pilots to.

Is business good? Make a lot of L?
