Second Life being the wonderland it is, offers people from
all walks of life a platform for creative expression. Come with me down the rabbit hole as I take a
look at Lovit Avatars, a valued advertiser at Sweethearts Jazz Club and vendor
of a range of bodies beautiful.
The creation of skins and shapes in Second Life is an art. Creators such as Rockward Waco of Lovit
Avatars, spend hours developing complete avatars, tediously creating the perfect illusion for our virtual reality.
A skin and
shape creator must skillfully
transform the pixels of the Second Life avatar into a desirable character. They will often work with real world images to perfect the
physical features of our virtual selves, creating a flawless appearance for our avatars.
The human behind LOVIT Avatars comes from the Eastern part
of the USA and is a computer scientist in work study background. He came to SL in 2006 to look at Virtual
Reality for a fortune 500 company and luckily for us stayed.
Initially Rock began working on avatars to research how they
would impact business process automation.
The underlying, key idea was that avatars would be used in our everyday
lives. In due course that work led to
him creating alluring and beautiful avatars with the intention of making the
residents of SL look good.
Lovit Avatars are unique in that they create limited edition
avatars and they place tattoos in each product to try and give them unique
makeups and appearance. They call this a
tattoo persona.
I asked Rock where he drew his inspiration from. He said “I spend a fair amount of time now
looking at people and thinking analytically on why they appear cute and
beautiful.”
Rock said that Allison, which is on sale now, is their
greatest product to date. It is a
complete avatar with special emphasis on super looking eyes.
On the cards in the near future for Lovit Avatars is the introduction
of more mesh products which will include mesh bodies for men and women.
