Seeking Monster Makers

Hiya,

I'm looking to meet anyone interested in doing up scary/weird custom shapes, skins, and maybe even models. I am a skinner myself, although I am a n00b to SL. I've been getting some great shapes with the avatar editor, and it's inspired me to start making some monsters.

So far, I've done up a nifty tree-man with a custom skin, and am making a custom skin for a rock golem. Next I'm going to try some zombies :) Because you just can't get enough zombies.

Anyway, if there are any like-minded folk in SL who'd like to get in touch, I look forward to chatting about tips and tricks.

I have a zombie avatar. It's not that hard to make. If you want to see it send me an IM. I'll even give you the flesh texture if you are interested. :)

Hi Zero,
I can probably make some stuff you can use. Any special/specific requests? My current SL objects in-world are cute, but I can be scary too.
If time alows, some time in the future I'm going to construct a creepy area in contrast to my "aw isn't that cute" stuff.

I wonder if some kind of a monster maker group might be in order. I thought it might be useful for those interested to get together in SL to workshop/critique monster AVs. No need for a formal group, just throwing out the idea in case it floats :)

This is an awesome Idea, I have no experience with building or making Avatars, but would love to help you out as I learn!

I have a "boojum" I whipped up last year that would be happy to join in the monster parade. Make a group, I'd like to join. :-)

Interesting well I have my Hovering Beholder and my FLoating 8ball and of course my assorted dragons. Might be fun to work with a group making exotic creature/mosters.

Good to see there's some interest here, I'll set up a group soon, let me just run this logo by y'all


Is the name "Monster Makers" OK?

I'll send out invites to everyone in this thread who showed interest. I'm looking at this as a low-maintenance, informal group of creators who get together occasionally and swap tips/tricks, show-and-tell avatars, trade and sell monster parts, etc.

I'd love to join the monster-maker group. Monsters are among my favorite things to create (both in and out of SL). Not really avatars yet per se but i've made some little pet-sized models and a large sculpture of a snake-woman.

I'd love to get involved...I'm fairly new to SL and just learning the editing process, but I'd certainly like to be in the MM group...always been a horror/monster fanatic...

Sent you an IM inworld, hope you can join us. If/when I get some land, I plan on making a suitably creepy meeting place.

Ghostface, glad to see you're interested.
There's a meeting for the Monster Makers scheduled for this Wednesday at 5pm PST on my land (check the events for that day for more details). I don't think we're going to do any building at the meeting, but there may be folks there who can answer some of your questions about making objects and texturing.

we all could do something with the above thread.

We may have to tone down the gore depending on whether these new sims are PG or Mature but we could still kick butt
