Creating a unique avatar look can
be a painstaking task for anyone first starting out in Second Life or for
residents who need a change. Browsing the endless list of items on SL
Marketplace, in world malls and shops across the grid can take forever. We all
could use a shopping companion that can help us make decisions based on our
budget, needs and wants. Renaissance AV Consulting
Agency provides just that!
Kamilla Vayandar and Tankgirl Zaytsev
will consult and guide you every step of the way making your avatar make over
less stressful on you. The SL Enquire caught up with Kamilla Vayandar to
learn more about Renaissance AV Consulting Agency and their services
SLE: What separates Renaissance AV Consulting
Agency from other makeover services in Second Life?
Kamilla:
The work we do is completely customized following the needs of our clients. We
have a chat with the client, trying to find out what they want, eventually show
us pictures of what they have in mind, may it be actors, models or other
avatars they may have seen on SL. It’s like if you are going to see a fashion
designer instead of going in a “ready to wear” shop. We are there to give them
advice and coach them in the SL jungle.
SLE: What do you think
is the most important thing that avatars should consider when creating their
look?
Kamilla: As I say on my blog, the shape is basic; you
need a good shape in order to look awesome, different. For me, it’s really important;
this is what will set you apart from other avatars. All the art consists in
matching this shape with the skin that will represent who you are, how you want
others to see you. From there, everything is possible.
SLE: Do you help both
men and women?
Kamilla:
Sure!!! We would miss something if not serving both men and women, and even
would extend it to whatever image they want to have. There are pictures of
avatars we have made in our gallery at the shop. All we want is for clients to
unleash their imagination.
SLE: How much do
residents usually spend on makeovers at other places? Do you look for deals to
help save them Lindens?
Kamilla:
Our prices go from 500LS an hour of
styling to 6000LS for a complete customization, but I am intransigent on the
shape and skins, there are some cheap skins but rarely beautiful. However, when
it comes to accessories, hair, eyes, clothes, we look for the best prices and
adapt to our clients’ needs. We always try to find good deals.
SLE: What kind of
services do you first recommend to your clients when they come to you for help?
Kamilla:
Always depends on their needs and wishes of course, every client is unique,
they can come for a simple restyling and take the option by the hour, or a complete
customized service, guiding them through shops, advise them on the clothes and
accessories they choose.
SLE: What advice would
you give to someone looking to change their avatar appearance?
Kamilla:
Not to be in a hurry to try new mesh bodies, like TMP body, Maitreya or other
new systems, they look really good but there is not much choices for body or
head shapes at the moment. I personally think that designers are still going to
improve them and offer more possibilities to personalize your avatar in the way
you want. We currently propose at least hands and feet appliers (slink system),
as the hands and feet of basic avatars are really ugly. You can already find
many suitable footwear and accessories with those appliers.
SLE: Is there anything
else you would like our readers to know?
Kamilla:
Yes, I would like to invite people to visit our sim, we will be delighted to
have a talk around a cup of tea and cupcakes and to explain what we do. Chats
are for free and we love ideas exchanges and useful conversations. We are
currently arranging the sim around the shop, so it may be worthwhile to visit
it, have a walk and relax, or maybe take pictures? Smiles.
