"I am a basic scripter," vgm Gobo tells me from Teen Second Life (pictured here in the TSL region of Tenshi). A 14 year old Resident, he's also my first entry in the Teen Avatar Expo, an adjunct to the "All About My Avatar" series exclusively for those in what's colloquially known as "the teen grid".
"I was insipred to make my avatar," Gobo explains, "because of a friend's novel/story (in progress) called Dynasty." It is a story about six young kids starting a virtual reality game that takes place in medieval times and they get stuck in the game and have to find a way out. I have a character in it, and that is what the avatar looks like: green hair, leather outfit, and red headband."
"[This] picture is a ninja avatar set: vgm Gobo (red hair center), Sai Rakels (far right), Kabuto Toshihiku (far left) and Moogle Hansen (front center)."
If you're on the Teen Grid and want to enter your avatar in the Expo, here are guidelines for submission:
- Take 1-3 screenshots of your avatar at its most amazing. Make sure they're .jpegs that are well lit, close-up, and detailed, and without
the interface in the shot.
- No Photoshopping or other post-production; in-world particles effects
and other "natural" elements are fine.
- Try to include a cool background in the image.
- No pics over 500K please!
- Include a description of your avatar, where you took the screenshot,
how you customized the avatar, and what you like about it most. Also
tell us what inspired you to create it.
- Be sure to include your avatar name for credit. If you like, include
your RL age.
- E-mail them and the description to [email protected]
- Deadline is April 1st!
