Miss Kim, whose conversation-over-coffee I am really missing right now, has gone and made an anatomically-correct body skin for Second Life avatars.
Makes me want steak. I've asked her to extend this genius to perhaps a zombie skin or two. Maybe my dream of being a zombie can finally come to (second) life...
Inspired!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Kim's anatomically-correct Second Life skin:
» Anatomically correct avatar from Boing Boing
My friend Kim Plowright created these amazing anatomically correct skins for avatars in the virtual world Second Life. Link... [Read More]
» Hot, Fully Naked Second Life Models from Kotaku
And by fully naked, I obviously mean without skin! Ahhhhhh!!! Look, I'll admit that I don't "get" this whole Second Life thing, because it sounds like work meets socializing with dorks meets awful graphics. But the kids just love it.... [Read More]

Hi,
After a brief search I couldn't find any reference to this on Miss Kim's blog. Do you think she would make it available?

I want a Slim Goodbody skin, complete with afro.

Very cool. I wonder... if you wore it in a PG sim, could you be reported for nudity? :D

Somewhat beats my attempt to make a skin by using photos of myself (no, not THOSE bits, tssk).

Oh, goddamnit, I was just working on one of those last week. I was about half done too.

Yeh, Kim hasn't posted them yet (she emailed them to me).. maybe she will, with details on how to pick the skin up inworld if you want it.
Let's go over there and picket her blog.

is anyone else reminded of Frank Cotton, from the first Hellraiser film?

She wasn't the first one. I don't have a slurl to my shop, but if you check it out - Berry's Bizarre, you can find it in the classifieds - I have a muscular anatomy skin I made several months ago that is quite popular and includes several bodybuilding poses.

Oops, the store is called 'Berrys Bazaar'! I've called mine 'Muscular Anatomy Avatar'.
Posted by: Bizarre Berry | October 22, 2006 at 13:33
Well, post now up over at mine, with various wiffling, philosophising and background, too. Plus! Extra bonus academic dissertation!
Berry - i'll certainly check yours out next time I'm in world. I didn't think I'd be the first; it was done as an experiment really, and an extension of my old art / acedemic interests.

Hey K! :) I think its great that you made one too. When I said you weren't the first, that really came from a 'I don't have a friend at Boing-Boing to tell the whole world about it' sense of jealousy! But clearly I would do the same for my friends, so I just wanted to ride your coattails LOL! I studied anatomy as well, and I think it is a very natural urge to create such a skin after looking at these diagrams of the human body all day long!

Really nice work. Great, K!
Don't miss the other avatars by Bizarre Berry. They are great too!
