What avatar do you mean? Dont spend too much, you might can make it yourself rather cheaply. I have seen fancy, complex costumes for L$500 and that seems about right. Shop around for prices and really explore the idea of doing it yourself. You will be proud of your accomplishment and it will give you something to do

Take your time with it and dont be afraid to start over.

I'm not much of a clothing designer, but I have some image editing skill and own Photoshop CS, so I might be able to help. What did you have in mind? Post here, or if you perfer secrecy, IM me in-world. Oh, and I'd do parts of it for free. You just pay the upload costs.

You will need to make your avatar in world, no need to upload it. While in world, just right click on yourself and choose appearance. This will open up the tools to make your avatar. There are lots of sliders for all parts of the body, you can do quite a number of changes.

It sounds like you can arrive at the look your wanting with just the appearance sliders. Try that out first and have fun with it. Once you got something you like, click on the "make outfit" button to save the look.

True, you don't need to buy that AV, it's simple, just play with the sliders. I'll help if you catch me inworld. The only thing you may have to buy is the trench coat.

About 6 months ago, who sold that Matrix costume? The one that had the Neo long coat? That's still the best long coat I've seen inworld. Anyone remember?

I like to press the random button a few times before I start to edit the specific parts.

It helps the creative juices to start to flow.
