From Japan to SL

I found some software to find a look-alike, so I tried it for my friends. For Miruru, here is Anastasia Bezrukova from Russia, who is said to be the world most beautiful girl,




For Refugee, no suitable one was found in the software, and I picked up a Russian female soldier that has similar atmosphere. Refgee’s last name Zenovka is also Russian.




I expected cute children for Pin2, but there came many male faces. The color skin did not help. So, I picked up one arbitrarily, Violetta Antonova, Russian beautiful girl.




It is not always that look-alikes are found. For Sachikio, all results were all unlike in my point of view. Then I picked up a person who I think so beautiful as Sachiko, Gal Gadot who played Wnder Woman. She is ranked high position in the hundred world beauties. She is not so alike as Sachiko, and there are some drawbacks in Sachiko’s face, but they say love covers many infirmities. In Japanese, we say, “Avatar mo Ekubo”, Avata means bleb, Ekubo, dimple.




For myself, many male faces came out at the first search. Getting over from the shock, I hunted after my alike myself. Amy Adams; who played Amelia Earheart in the “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian”. 　She was so cool! I had not seen her when I made my avatar, but I became a hot fan of her. After all, everyone would follow the own ideal character automatically when making an avatar.



Look-alike:　http://www.pictriev.com/?lang=ja
There is various software for look-alike. I used the free one above. It is useful to find the name whom you have only pictures.　Also, it comes with masculine, feminine, and age judged by the picture.

  

Pin2 with short pants. Her legs are so long! The right is a picture I introduced before. Is the balance against upper body different? I showed this her and she said she has many variations with different leg length.




I took some fresh pictures of the shape that has shorter legs she said. The left is me that has rather short legs and long torso as an avatar, so her shape could be commoner?




But still her legs in the top picture are substantially long! I have seen many male and female avatars with long legs, but she could be the longest considering the balance.
Could I make her surname as “Mommy-Long-Legs”?





  

The last picture on the last article was so pitiful, I tried to remake whole shape to get it substantial. This skin is named “Strong Face”, so this kind of face could be suitable from the start. I made the body stronger along the way.




I successfully made a robust individuality, so I tried to apply it to a male shape. The left is an old avatar that I used before when traveling abroad alone or it is necessary to be male, but the classic avatar became obsolete. In the right, I put the shape in my mesh head but I was not able to make it manly. Partly because I did not have hair or mustache, but it should be more than that. Looks strong as female but weak as male?




Then I tried to apply it to myself, but my shape was somewhat cute today. As I reported before, my Bento head will have a bit different face every day. As the poor one last time, cheeky, unpleasant eyes, or a kind of cute in a way. Since I have been using this face for a long time, I gave up changing it now. It could be joy to see different mood every day. It ended up with self-satisfaction, but it might be useful to confirm that once a skin was selected, the shape will be limited within some range.




  

Though the recent articles I have become familiar with Miruru’s small cute nose, but I ran into a large one the other day. This is not an avatar but an AFK figure, but this is the first time in SL to see this size, although I have seen some in RL.




In the RL, I have an inferiority complex with my large and squabby nose, so I feel a bit easy when I see a large one. I tried to see how it can be made large with my current skin. Actually, it is possible to make it far larger but this could be the practical limit. I could put up with this shape although that is much larger than my real one. Please do not mention, “Where is the change?”




In RL, there are many beauties with larger nose. It might be the shape than the size that is important. Even for me, there is a person who says cute, and I do not hate the thickness of my nose pinched at being done CPR. It could be one of good things of SL to be able to talk about this kind of subject^-^




With a visor or sunglasses, the large nose could be suitable for them. I have not been able to use the visor with my original shape.




While playing around, gradually I was acclimated to the large nose. Actually, the left one of this size has a distinct character. The right is me. It is natural that it is not cute, but it looks spineless and boring, and losing against the left in strength or character. But it would be more important to be familiarized with the personality, so I would become a bit confident about my nose in my real life^-






  

The third victim for my death series that can be done only in SL was Miruru. Her first choice was drowning. It could be very painful. To hold breath to the limit, to inhale the water to the throat, then into the lung after becoming unconscious. This Miruru seems to be the final stage to inhale water after holding breath, which should be very agonizing, but I hope that she will have relief soon.




Her second choice was freezing death, that was said to be a cozy way to die. When dropping off into sleep, it could feel rather pleasure. But it was hard to make a picture. Almost I put her in a freezer.




The easiest death could be for android. Like a PC, it could be shut down immediately by just pulling out the power source. Or does it have a back-up in the brain and keep conscious for some period? Does it close eyes at the last?




This is the facial expression that I wondered why included in the animation. But this picture has some modifications: the eyes and nostrils were opened slightly wider. Different from Pin2 I introduced before, Miruru’s nostrils do not move. But it could be cute if they move softly like this.




The first case I asked Miruru to die was this picture. The right half was in a terrible situation that cannot be shown here. Please image. If you were interested in, Miruru has the one.




For refreshing your eyes, Miruru departing for the heaven on Pegasus, not that funny, riding underwater at the Welcome Center.





  

The default avatars are available even now. There is a kind of photo booth at the Welcome HUB, I will introduce some avatars.




They are in four categories, New Avatars. Fantasy, Vampires, and Classic, total of more than 50 avatars. In the photo box, various backdrops and poses are provided. I played taking pictures.




This is from the fantasy category. All outfits including gadgets are included. The face looks all the same but it could be edited freely.




The small fairy comes together, but the wings are on the backdrop. This outfit could be used.




From the vampire category. The bat comes together. This dress and hair could be used separately.




How is it used? Looks cool but it becomes poor when getting out.




This is also nice at the first glance but becomes humorous when walking outside. Could this be used for Halloween? Most of them cannot be said attractive but there are many choices for newbies. It could be good for old-timers just for fun? Click “Avatar” and “Complete Avatar” (for FS, “Choose an Avatar”)




It could be pity only with backdrops, here is another portrait with some atmosphere.








  

have noticed that my recent articles are the face cutouts often seen in tourist sites. This time I featured Pin2 by her favor.




Pin2 often comes in with severely sunburnt skin, which makes her a bit grown-up.




Pin2 still looks cute even became a drowned body. But the face of the person I borrowed her body, closing eyes calmly, also had an unnatural beauty.




Unscrupulously we are playing dead, but these girls, dead neither with her own motive nor mentally prepared, will never feel again the warm sunshine and hug with tears. I play for the souls. May she rest in peace. But Pin2 can come back and show us her cute smile. Dear Pin2, please never be gone!




Please forgive my bad taste and recover with the beaming face of Pin2 in my heart.





  

The other day, I killed Miruru my friend. The picture was not suitable for the blog, so I showed it to her eyes only, but it was well accepted and she made request for the next victim. So, I asked Sachiko what is her favorite way to die. Her answer was “In a bathtub”, which is not so easy. If with nude, it only seems like a relaxing pose. Please imagine it here, with clothing and moveless water.




For the drowning, there was a famous painting. But the neck angle on the original is strange. The heavy head should not be floating like that, except under rigor mortis. But if the head was sunk, the beautiful face could not be seen and I made also strange angle. As I noticed on the painting “Night mare” in an old article, the skill of painters is awesome.




I decided to sink Sachiko, who made up her mind and fixated her eyes on me.




I found the courage to push her down. This picture was taken long time ago. I lost this bathtub in my inventory.




I did CPR for the unconscious Sachiko. I lost this animation also. If anyone knows the CPR animation, please let me know.




CPR with somewhat practiced hand. But when imaging to pinch Sachiko’s good-looking nose and open her beautiful lips, my heart started racing. Sachiko, looking forward to the girls meeting at a hotel!






  

In the previous article, the last picture Nopperabou was Sachiko. A friend looked at it and said to do Fukuwarai using it. So I put some faces in it. The left is face painting. While drawing arouhd Sachiko’s nose and eyes, my heart started pounding. The right is the strongest and most beautiful animal in the earth, stronger than the Cat Woman^-^
（Fukuwarai is a Japanese new year game, like pin a tale on donkey, put parts of face to an empty face）




The right is from my favorite music, Masquerade. The left is from a Halloween costume found in the net, done by actual person! The dress for the right was gorgeous, and the idea and special makeup for the left were awesome! Second Life is losing^-^




My friend Miruru also made some, the ｌeft, cool, the right, cute, which she thinks. There is no copyright in avatar face in SL, so it is free to shoot, modify, or use pictures, but I am always getting approval. The below are not avatar, so if there were someone alike these faces, please forgive us.




  

Japanese faceless monster, Nopperabou. “Should be looking from somewhere.” “Shall I draw something…” From the “Monster Trainer” by Shincho, the comedian.




Fifteen years in SL, I have been taking many snapshots. There are more than 40,000 photos saved in my computer. The most popular shot could be avatars. I had issued an article about evolution of avater, now this is to see the progress of parts with mesh. The following is vatiation of eyes that was issued in 2010. At that time I was following guidelines for RL photo, which avoided to take direct eyeline.




These are pictures taken recently. I lost my shyness and received eye lines directly. The biggest change could be the texture of eyeballs. The old ones had all appearances of avatar, but the recent ones have a feel of real expression. Also. the big change was to be able to close eyes. Sometime I worried how to do my eyes when someone is kissing me….




The change through the mesh avatar could be the nose shape. These are all my Japanese friends but most of them are round and soft shape. As I have a complex of a rather large and squabby nose, I had dreamt of the Nordic, sharp and sculpturesque one.




With the mesh, it became possible to shape it beautiful, especially the nostril expressin was largely improved. Unfortunately, the following variations cannot be edited freely but it is necessary to buy the shape and skin accordingly. It is said that no woman is satisfied with her own nose, so it might be a destiny to suffer from the nose. A comic story said to a female monster with no face feature, “It is OK to have nothing on your face. There are many girls having a hard time since there is something.”
