Big cat meow

I’ve always liked furry avatars, and I have just a few.  However, some furry avis, including the Kemono which I really love, are a bit limited when it comes to clothing, so the solution seems to be to build one on a popular mesh body.  And here we are!

This look, based on Lara, is achieved with three mod kits: the Cerberus Felis Bento Head, the Furry Hand Paw kit from Catseye, and the SKS Snow Leopard Tawny kit.  Let’s see if I can describe some of their features for you.

The head is full bento, and for these photos I’ve taken the example head settings, which are included in the pack, and replaced the settings in my normal Lara shape.  Undoubtedly, I will fiddle with them over time to find something that’s uniquely mine.  The head kit comes with the ears and a comprehensive HUD that’s packed with expressions, and customizable settings for eye color and dilation, and other expression overrrides.  The pack also includes links to the PSD files for the UV and a dummy mesh model for rigging your own mesh accessories, and also includes an applier kit so you can sell creations of your own for things like skins and makeup.

The creator specifically mentions that the head was made with mesh hair in mind, and as you can see, right out of the box, I found a perfect fit with some hair from enVogue.

The paw kit from Catseye is really wonderful, I’m surprised I didn’t know about it before.  It takes Omega appliers without the need for a relay, and is compatible with any mesh body that will accept Slink hands.  The fit is pretty seamless with my settings!  Just like the head, the paws are full Bento, and a mod kit, tinting HUD, and custom applier are all included.  There’s even a set of mesh gloves!

Lastly, the skin from SKS has three female options, PG, Mature, and Adult.  There are also two male skins in the pack.  Also included are the legs rigged for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass, plus a whole bunch of textures and appliers for four more heads if the Felis is not to your liking.  Plus two tails, plus a texture applier for my Catseye bento tail, plus eyeshadow, plus, plus, plus!  The only tiny niggle is the neck extension is static, but you’d hardly notice.

All three products combine wonderfully, and with the addition of a hairstyle and my bento feline tail, produce a fantastic look.

Well done to all three creators!

I rarely wear skins other than my fav Adore Peach, but I was unboxing and came across this one from Deluxe Body Factory.   As I’ve never done a skin post, with the exception of a few fantasy skins, I thought this one was good enough to show to you.

The skin tones are quite good with highlights in just the right places.  I was very impressed with some of the lippy choices, especially for the tanned skins.  Of course in this set, my favorite has to be the Sand version as I can wear red hair with it 🙂

It comes with system skins, and appliers for Catwa and Omega head appliers, Omega and Maitreya body appliers, and Slink hands and feet appliers, which should cover nearly everyone.  It even includes body and brow shapers for Catwa Bento Lona, although in the photos I’m wearing my own shape.

Considering this was a free hunt gift, it’s very nice indeed.  Well done, DBF!
