Sezmra Svarog recently updated her Entice line of skins for women, and I read in the SL Forums that she plans to have her new Entice For Men skins out by the end of the month. The first skin I bought was from Sezmra’s Bodyskins by Nora line for men, and I still like and wear it. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us guys with Entice For Men.

Yeah Ryan, I tried out a different bald hair that Funk gave me, but it still didn’t fix it up. It didn’t have anything to do with the eyebrow color or density sliders because they were all on zero. I’ve been polling my friends to see if they like it or don’t like it, and I’ve gotten a lot of mixed responses. Although a lot are mirroring my view where the body looks great, but the face just doesn’t all fit. It’s a lot of “Yeah I see what you’re saying about the face, but I really love the body.” I’ll keep searching and debating. If only Leyla would update the textures on her skin…maybe I’ll shake her tree about it. lol

Oscar - I prefer lighter skins and didn’t try out the darker version of Antonio, so I guess I didn’t run into what you’re describing. At the risk of suggesting things you’ve already tried…as the skin includes eyebrow artwork, make sure your Linden eyebrows aren’t “showing through” the skin. I’m guessing this might be possible as the skin does allow the underlying tint to be seen. You might try eliminating your Linden eyebrows or reducing them as far as they’ll go. You can also try tweaking the brow Appearance sliders, as this can affect eyebrow artwork included on a purchased skin. If you have a variety of different “bald caps” provided with different prim hairstyles, try on several of those as I’ll pretty much guarantee that those will have different effects too.

Slithy - yup, it is interesting to see how different avatars can look even wearing the same skin. Cat touched on this in a response comment on his own Antonio review post. We’ll see if we can’t do something to show a wider variety of avatar shapes in future skin reviews, even if it’s just one of us wearing the same skin with a few different shapes.

It was really interesting to see the same skin on 2 different avatars. I usually think of a skin as making people look pretty much the same, but this opens my eyes. I’d love to see this in future skin reviews too!

I got the demos, and I love all of the skin…except for the eyebrows. Because my av tends to have a darker tan shade to the skin, it causes the eyebrows to look very bushy when you darken the Antonio tan skin. I thought it was my head shape before, but I just played around with everything on my head and that’s not it. Then I messed with the darkness slider on the skin and that’s the culprit. It ain’t easy bein’ a tan man in this world *sniffles* lol. All in all Preparation H…er…the skin is good on the whole, and you guys look fantastic in it. Well done Funk.

By all means, all credit to Funk for his workmanship on this skin. I only had the good sense to put it on.

Oooh! I’m a terrible commenter! I forgot to say congrats to Funk for making such an excellent high-quality skin with a very unique look… I’m drooling over the pics of Catero and Ryan here.

High-Five!
