Fantasy avatars

After a long break, I have once again started making skins, as well as some clothes. The theme, though, is now fantasy/medieval.

This is my try at a female elf avatar. She has pointed ears, which is hidden by the prim hair. The prim hair is not included, it is actually from ETD, so those interested can get it there, from their "Novice" line of prim hair. The set I am selling comes with the skin and shape, as well as the green shirt and brown pants, and a pair of brown boots. And the leather cuirass, and also the set of metal bracers engraved with dragons.

I have also made a female drow avatar, which comes with not just the skin and shape, but also the bikini set. Her belt is embossed with a spider symbol. Like the elf avatar, prim hair is not included. The one shown in the picture is from ETD too, from their free "Lily" line.

More skins by Miki Jannings

Here are some more skins made by me. As you can see, I like to make skins with pale or light skin tones. As usual, all my skins come with an accompanying shape to bring out the best in their facial features.

The first one is "Yukie", a Japanese avatar with sparse eyebrows, a light skin tone, and slightly dark brown nipples. The pubic area is a bit sparse but highly realistic.


Next up is "Michelle". She is blonde with curvy eyebrows and a slightly darker tone of red for her lip stick. As with my other skins, she has realistic nipples and pubic area.

Last up is "Aki". Very pale skin tone, with brownish eyebrows, though a bit thick. A more pinkish set of nipples with realistic pubic area too. She has a small nose, much smaller than most of my other skins.

More new skins

With some time on my hands, I got down to working on what has been my interest these days, making skins for myself. And of course, after making them, I get to sell them too.

First of all is "Shalise", with blonde hair both on the eyebrows, and also a very realistic blonde pubic area. And realistic nipples too. Both the nipples and the pubic areas were taking from photos of real nipples and pubic hair. So are the eyebrows. The lips are also taken from a photo of a real life model too. For my latest creations, I have made the body more defined, with more shadows and highlights.


Next up is "Ashlee", with a light skin tone. This skin comes with both pubic hair, as well as a shaved pubic region (again, very realistic since it was from a photo...)

Then we have "Akiko", a skin made for Japanese avatars. Unlike previous, similar skins, I have made the skin tone more tanned, not as pale as before. This skin also comes with both shaved and unshaved pubic regions, as well as an accompanying shape with a size more suitable for Japanese.

Last we have "Joanne", with her brown hair (eyebrows and pubic region). Her pubic region is more sparse, but still as realistic and highly defined.

More skins!

I spent some time and came up with some more new skins. Seems like the current craze for me is making skins.

I have started to get the hang of it too. Using photos of real-life models, I draw facial features onto the templates, fitting them into the correct positions. After uploading the textures, I create the skins. And I came to realise that good looks do not just depend on the skins, the shape is important too. So using the same models, I create a shape that best shows the facial features that I have drawn.

First up is "Mariko", a Japanese look with very pale skin. Don't use light-coloured hair with this skin, since the skin tone is too light.

Next is "Angelina", with brown hair. She has thicker lips, and a small nose.

Then we have "Brooke", who is blonde. Her face is more squarish, and her lips are wider too.

"Katie" here has dark brown hair and a darker skin tone.

New Products - Skins!

As mentioned in my previous post, I have been trying to create my own skins. And finally, I have managed to do so, and I have not only created one set of skin, but four of them! All of them come with their own shapes too. The basic body shape is the same, but the head has been modified to bring out the best in each of the skins. The skins are shown below, with the more private areas pixeled out.

"Cristine", as seen below, is by far the best. She was made based on a blonde model, with light eyebrows. As you can see, my skins come with light makeup (not a lot of lipstick, etc.) She has a soft. demure look, as you can see.


"Keiko" below is based on a Japanese model. If I had done a better job with her pubic area (it is actually slightly smudged, but otherwise okay, and not noticeable at all if you are wearing clothes) I would have asked more for her.

"Kelly" was made based on a lady with brown hair. She has a more confident look, compared to the others.
"Eve" was the first skin that I made. It was an experiment to see how to make skins in Second Life, and well, that explains why it is not as fine as it could be. The eyebrows are slightly thicker than what I would like, the face a bit too rough. But as a basic starter skin, this is something that will do, considering the low price. And the skin is actually cut-and-paste from a photo of a real person.
