On my travels through SL, I happened upon an individual,
Pertinax Greggan, whose profile caught my attention.
He professed to having
some expertise with female shapes in SL and I just had to find out what that
was all about. Prior to the interview, I asked him what he thought of my shape
(this was made easier by the fact that we were both at a nudist sim at the
time), and he offered several "corrections" that, when I tried them
out, all were small but significant improvements that I have retained.
Karen:
Your profile says you are a "Shape Doctor, making realistic female shapes
as a sort of hobby, not to sell... I give them away!" What do you mean by
"Shape Doctor"?
Pertinax:
Well, there are positively hordes of women out there in SL who have tinkered
with their own shapes and ended with results that are less than anatomically
plausible, much less aesthetically pleasing. I draw photo-realistically in RL
and, so I have a good eye for form and proportion. ((points to a drawing on his
wall)) That is done with pencil and charcoal and some chalk... it loses
something from the scan to SL, though.
