Thank you for featuring the Vae Victis Cosmic Greatsword in your video. We’re all super excited (and maybe even having a bit of a cry) over it. I love that there are creators like yourself so willing and able to help new players in ways such as this. We didn’t have resources quite like this when some of us started way back in the stone ages, lol.

thank you for showcasing the fantasy side of SL, and highlighting some wonderful creators! the vast majority of my avatars fall under the "fantasy" category and it's been that way since i joined 15 years ago. much love and appreciation!

You have done a good job with these tutorial videos ❤ I would like you to make a tutorial video how a new user can improve their avatar. Legacy has free body for both female and male. (However it costs 1L) And difficult to find clothes for these. Genus offer fee mesh head too. You spend a lot of money on you videos making these avatars. Many new ones don't even know where their account is or how to log in or how to buy Linden money. This information could be very useful to teach :) Personally, I think that Linden could put about 25L into each new account. It's not much, but it would get you started better.

You did a lot of research with picking from bespoke, apricot paws and static for what a lot fantasy avatars

[CelesTauri]

I'ma need Zealous' style card cuz he is GORGEOUS and I can't for the life of my figure out what I don't like about my own furry. TT

[MichaelVapors]

This is great if you want an anthro avatar but... we would like to learn to make an animal avatar such as a bird or quadruped please

I wish this video had been made back when Stray head was on sale- i had no idea what to do with the demo and was embarrassed to ask so i didnt buy it :(
