Replicator Alpha

The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.

 

In this first trial shoot I am using Loli Nori's really amazing charcoal "Drow" skin, which she (for some reason best known to her alone) is giving away as a freebie at the Bare Rose Mall. This skin is simply the best skin that I have seen anywhere in Second Life. Sadly, I do not use it on a regular basis since the dark tone sort of stops Alpha from being the "look alike" avatar that I prefer her to be. I am not too sure that this skin will actually get Alpha into the range of the Valley's threshold since it is actually very "humanly" expressive. It is why it is such a gorgeous skin in the first place...
