Wacawacawaca! The freebie wall at Shapes by Zada has a new avatar! It's a single attachment avatar, cartoon shaded to give that black outline effect, and scripted so that when you move around it makes a wacawacawaca sound and the mouth opens and closes with the iconic eating action. Because you don't get to see the animation too well from the regular over the shoulder camera position, you'll find an easy to use camera locking hud in the box so you can watch yourself running around chasing ghosts! And of course, it's absolutely free at the Shapes by Zada mainstore (Talisman 84/140/24).
this week. In fact, there are six more, available at Botgirl's Identity Circus, a fascinating art exhibition, exploring aspects of identity in Second Life. Based on an idea by Botgirl Questi, Shapes by Zada has made the unique Avatar Transformation Tent. Just step into the tent, follow the instructions, and when you step out again, you'll be random new avatar! There are no clues what you'll be until you see the new you. It can be quite a shock, but it's a lot of fun, and of course you get to keep the avatar after your visit. Pay attention to what you get, there are free shapes, eyes and a skin available. You can read more about Botgirl's Identity Circus on her blog at botgirl.blogspot.com or visit the exhibition at New Caerleon (40/227/22).



























"Gothic Chic" is a departure for Shapes by Zada. It's a "character avatar", rather than simply another shape. Which means, as well as containing a modifiable body shape, there are other things in the package to match the character of that shape. There are two pairs of Eyefidelity eyes, a darker version of the popular "Midnight sun" color with a reflection of stars in them, made specifically for this package. (The second pair has a glowy hourglass in the pupils). There's also something new to Shapes by Zada - five skins. I've been working on these a long time, and some of you will have seen a few earlier versions of the skin that I've given out as freebies to my group or handed out to Fashion Consolidated Cafe members when the mood struck me, but this is the first commercial release of the skin, in a lovely pale ivory skin tone. Like most new skins recently, this one started off as an Another Skin mod, but the end result is very different, with a detailed surface texture and the shading almost entirely replaced.
Being a shape maker first of all, I've worked hard to place the shading as closely in line with the mesh as possible, making this a very "shape neutral" skin, but also I've tried to make this as realistic as I could without relying on photo sourcing except for one or two details (the ears and belly button).
