Linden Lab has a customization challenge for you. We are looking for Second Life avatars representing the following people, listed below, for the upcoming Supernova conference. I was able to find image links that will steer you in the right direction. We will reward L$20,000 to those who complete this challenge. Post what avatars you’d like to work on below. If you commit to an av, please be prepared to finish it. We only need one of each person, so no multiples, please.
Thanks for your help! If you have any questions, you can either email me or post to this thread.
Due date for artwork: Wednesday, 5 pm, PDT

Mine are both done, so if anyone can't finish theirs, I'd be happy to do more.
Catherine, should we drop the folder for the finished avatars on you? |

Well, I had fun making Raph's avatar too.
I liked participating in the last event like this, even without the monetary rewards I made 2 avatars last time. I was hoping others would post their finished projects as well. Guess I will be the first. I'm not particularly sure if I am done yet, I still have a few questions needing to be answered. I think he looks quite a bit like Raph so far!Edit: I notice the snapshots turned out a little darker than the avatar is in daylight. Ah well.  _____________________
