And Then There Were Two

Catrina and Fox

I said I would be sad enough to tidy Fox (Second Life version, that is) up, and look! I have (Clicky clicky for biggie…biggie…).  What depresses me the most is not the time and energy I could have put into writing that I have spent creating this avatar; it’s the fact that now I have both of them in-world, I want to find ways to make some scenes for them, to build the entire city, to make every other character and tell the Vampyr Snyper: Second Life story! Now that’s sad.

And just in case you were thinking all I’ve been doing is dicking around in a virtual universe…you’d mostly be right, but not all the time, I haven’t! Look, look:

Sure That’s Fox, Hur Hur Hur

Oh yeah, he's hot (Click to enlarge...if you DARE!)I don’t think those of you who don’t “play” Second Life will really appreciate how much time and effort I put into making the Catrina avatar (those of you who do SL it up, this is just to make you smile). So, for you, here is a comparison between Catrina and the Fox avatar I attempted to make when I first started on the Second Life grid.

I made it super-small on purpose; just seeing it make me want to poke things into my eyes, but if you really want to, click on the pic to enlarge.

He’s pretty, right?

The saddest part is I now want to go spend all the Lindens I’ve made in order to fix him up.

*le sigh*

Whoooooo’s that giiiiirl, runnin arrrrrround wiv yeeeeeew!

Catrina MalinkaBong bong, who’s, bong bong, that…

Who’s That Girl sketch if you don’t know the reference.  Ah, Harry Enfield; that man painted my teen years with his antics.

So anyway, yeah, I’ve tweaked around with the site design YET AGAIN, and I have a lovely modified layout now.

As you can see, there’s a young lady crouching on the top of the page (unless of course I’ve changed the site since then, in which case here‘s what she looked like!), and also to the right.  That’s Catrina. Give her a wave.

Obviously, people will have different ideas of what Catrina looks like.  She looks different on the cover of The Genesis, for example.  That version up there is more what I personally see her to look like.  I made her using Second Life, one of my great procrastination stations. I (will) have an entire page chatting on about Second Life, which you can find here, to read in more detail about what exactly it is, and how I’ve been using it.

Hope you like her!
