This will be a Linden-sponsored NWN Expo, probably in late July or August, that will showcase the strangest/spookiest/craziest/fantastical/futuristic/weirdest avatars out there in SL. This will showcase non-realistic avatars (though humanoid is perfectly acceptable). Please post nominations like this:
"The [describe avatar or its given name] by [Resident who built it, if known]" Also, nothing M-rated (or better, nothing that can't be toned down to PG for the Expo); AVs with powered armor and robotic exoskeletons are permitted, but no robots-- those will get their own Expo.  I'll select the top ten named here, put those up for a poll vote, then invite the top five to the in-world Expo. Like the Book Expo, there'll be vote on these, with the AV that gets the most votes winning-- well, TBD. _____________________

Well, assuming we can nominate ourselves...
The Martov Cyborg Unit 1 by Aleksandr Marvov It's not a robot, but a cyborg, meaning robotic external components meshed with an organic/mechanical endoskeleton and a mixture of robotic and organic internals. (To be fair I originally wanted it to be a straight suit of powered armor, but I realized that the end shape was physically impossible for a normal human, so it's a cyborg) _____________________

Um...
Torley Torgeson... By Torley! I'm sure we have all seen the pictures *edit* I should really read the whole post before replying.. Still even if she's not entirely unrealistic, it's a pretty hip avatar. |

Self-nomination!
My own "Jaylene Slide" avatar. Woman transformed into early eighties CG. On the left. Just me. I'd consider also suggesting Plastic Duck's lovely openwork robot-like avatar (on the right, with me in the Slide and an experimental skirt) but he's been permabanned. |

Now that I think of it, I might do something crazy like hold an in-world gangster-style pool party or something like that for the top forty Extraordinary Avatars nominated, and put those up for an in-world vote (which would require 8 voting machines, but what the hell.) Then select the top 10 from that event, and put those up for vote on the Forums, then have a second in-world event for the final five. You know, like American Idol, but on hallucinogens.
But let's see how fierce the competition gets... _____________________
