“Does this avatar make my butt look big?”: the perils of creating your girlfriend’s avatar

Posted on October 19, 2006 by

I’ve somehow been tasked with creating my girlfriend Cindy’s avatar in Second Life. Some guys might think it sounds fun to re-create your girlfriend in whatever dimensions, shape, hairstyle and outfit you want.  Let me tell you, it’s no picnic.

How exactly does one safely respond to, "Why did you make me so ugly?"

    For the most lfattering avatar pictures force sun to either sunres or sunset and then face E or W as appropriate.
    If you want to prettify her further, you might check out the various SL fashion blogs. 🙂

    Umm “Honey, you’re so beautiful, the software can’t handle it. Really, if I made the real you it would shut down the servers. Now, you don’t want that, do you?”
