    New Avatars from Syn_Squee!
    I have finally gotten through all my overtime at work and owed artwork and commissions....and....

    I AM WORKING ON AVATARS AGAIN!!! :D

    I just came out with my new Mycena avatars!! They are in the vendors now in all my locations!!!

    They are sculpted full prim avatars and they come in 7 colors.
    The avatars have night glow and day skins and come with cute little santa hats in time for the holidays. :3

    Here is the sunset color!



    You can also get one of these avatars for free when you buy the toy and provide a proof of purchase from here:
    http://www.patchtogether.com/store/store/view/id/166
    (The website seems to be down right now, but this deal is still opens when it comes back up.)

    Currently I am working on the next avatar already. They are Day Geckos! (Yes, same species as Gex and the Geico Gecko.)
    Here is a preview of the sculpts I made for the avatar:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/d/6818-1/gecko.jpg
    (Ignore the picture in the background, that is Kunta-Kanti, my gecko dragon character, I am making a mod of the avatar of her when I have time.)

    These are in the process of being textured like this:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/d/6824-2/GeckoColors.jpg

    :D

    After that I am working on a new red panda update!
    Here is a preview of that head:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/newredpanda.jpg.html
    It may come out massively different in Second Life. I am trying to do sculpted eyes on this one. The geckos have prim lids in SL but they're using a rotate script (like the Tokushi Fnuff, and the script was actually written by my buddy Racush of Tokushi.)

    I also recently finished an adorable custom avatar for my boyfriend of a tri-colored border collie (Jay!):
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_4.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_3.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_2.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_1.jpg.html
    I re-used the prims from the fruit fox (all but the ears) but I made a whole new avatar with them for him. :3

    Which is actually the same thing I did to make this personal custom avatar of my sloth character "Noodle" for myself:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/NoodleTree.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/NoodleBeams.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/noodlewinter.jpg.html

    For future reference this is what I have to do on my to do list right now...
    1. Gecko avatars (being textured!)
    2. Red Panda avatars update (head is in the process of being sculpted)
    3. Anglaroos avatars update (concepted)
    4. Custom avatar trade with Whinge (concepted)
    5. Organic Nashua (custom) avatar update (concepted)
    6. Caracal avatars
    7. Synchra (custom) avatar update (concepted)

    Prim Perfect Tackles Wolf Mountain
    As a Prim Perfect staff writer, I am very pleased to announce the publication of our Christmas 2009 issue. Personally, this is my second favorite issue ever (the Halloween issue last month still rates as my personal fave.) Winter on Wolf Mountain... with a side trip via motorcycle to Route 66. It's all here, in droves. The photography is astounding, the writing is great, and really, the fact that we stuffed one magazine full with good solid information nearly all about ONE region pays testament to the value and scope of that region! Wolf Mountain, in a word... rocks.

    If I haven't managed to convince you to read this issue, please go scan the offical announcement at our Prim Perfect Blog.

    If I have indeed convinced you - there's no time to lose! Dive directly into the magazine right now, right here! See you on the slopes!

    Anyone else having MASSIVE inventory failure when they log on? I'm getting "can't find in inventory" or Unable to create item" on a ton of crap, including things I am wearing!

    I am using emerald but when I checked it with the normal SL viewer the same thing happened. I am in a panic now! Help!

    Where is this?

    I went to this location back in June:

    Do you think I can find it now? I thought it was Hobo Island, but the Hobo Island that's there now is very very different. Such is Second Life.

    Mingo going out of business sale
    The Japanese shop Mingo! Is going out of business this weekend. They have many cute things up for 10L or free.
    I am a huge softie and had to go over and spend the last of my L in the hopes that every little bit helps. It certainly doesn't hurt that the items are really cute, I especially love the hair.
    I'm not affiliated in any way, I just thought you guys may appreciate the heads up, the sale ends tomorrow.


    Here's the SLURL:

    Virtuatrade?
    On Saturday, I made an online purchase of about $10 worth of Lindens from Virtuatrade. The confirmation said it would take "24 to 48 hours" to verify that my purchase was legitimate. It's Wednesday, and no Lindens have shown up in my account yet. Even counting just business days, it's been 48 hours.

    Is Virtuatrade dishonest or just slow?

    Good SL Press!
    THANK YOU HARRIE!!!!

    Q: You've attended hundreds of live performances in Second Life. Do you remember the first live gig you attended? Are there one or two performances that stand out in your mind as particularly memorable or even infamous?

    Ooh, I knew you’d ask me that, lol! I don’t know if it was the first gig I went to but the first one I remember was Dann Numbers (aka Dann Russo in RL). I was floored by this guy, how someone in pixel form could have so much stage presence, his music was great and right up my alley too, By the end of the show I was well and truely hooked and 3yrs on I am still one of Dann’s biggest fans and think he is a genuine talent who one day I hope to see play live in RL! He is also one of a handful of SL musicians I tell (or bring) new musicians to go and check out if they want to know how to connect with their audiences as Dann has that one down pat!

    - Venue Owner Harrie Skjellerup (Owner, Pixel Hill; co-founder, "The Originals") as quoted from http://networkedblogs.com/p19539170

    Thank you Thank you!!
