New at C-Stylez - Omega Lipstick Appliers!

Now available at my SL Marketplace Store - Lipstick Omega Appliers for Mesh Heads in 12 shades! Please use the Omega Relay of your mesh head, to apply the lipstick. I did not create the lipsticks for any specific mesh head, as it would cost me too much time and effort to do so, that is why I decided for the Omega Version instead, so anyone with an Omega compatible mesh head can use them.

**Please be aware that depending on your mesh head, the lipstick might not fit, I therefore suggest you to demo the lipstick first before buying it.

So far I tested it on Lelutka, LAQ and Altemura mesh heads and they fit just fine, so please get the demo first.

Complete Avatar - Poison Ivy at C-Stylez!

So I finally finished the completely revised version of my Ivy Avatar. I've been wanting to do this since forever and I started working on it many months ago. This version is now with partly mesh items and it's completely different from the first Ivy Avatar.

I have also lately created Machinimas to demonstrate the avatar, since I don't provide demos, just like the one for the Material Girl (Madonna) Avatar, which you can also watch on my Youtube Channel C-Stylez by CanTell Mizser on Youtube. 

It takes awhile before I upload new items, especially Complete Avatars, because I need to be perfectly satisfied with the outcome, before I release the item. 

I also create the machinima first, and then I create the music for it, so it all takes time.

 

This is a complete pack for starters, collectors, role players, divas, superstars, unique people or people who simply want to shine! Purchase this complete avatar and you're ready to go! What you see is what you get! This means all illustrated items in the pictures are included in the set! Some items such as prim attachments and 1 body shape are copy/mod/no transfer. Please make sure to make a copy first before you start editing your items.  


Body Parts

• Skin (C/NM/NT) 
• Body Shape (C/M/NT) 
• Eyebrows (C/NM/NT)
• Eyes (C/NM/NT)
• Mesh Hair (C/NM/NT) 
• Add-On Buns (non mesh) (C/NM/NT) 

Clothing           

• All wearable clothing, tattoos and alpha layers are C/NM/NT  
• Mesh Bikini - non rigged (C/M/NT)
• Sculpted Leaves Outfit (C/M/NT)
• Vine Body Deco (C/M/NT)
• Mesh Boots - rigged (C/NM/NT)
• All attachable prim parts aside from mesh items are C/M/NT

There are no resizer scripts, tinter or any scripts installed in the prim parts. This is to avoid lag and to provide a better browsing atmosphere.  

*Please take note: Always use the option "add" when wearing mesh, alpha layers and tattoo layers. This is to ensure, that you can wear more that one at a time. Otherwise, they will be replaced if you use the option "wear". 


Important  

Since invisiprims are already obsolete and doesn't work anymore with mesh viewers, I do not include them anymore. This avatar is therefore only for mesh enabled viewers. If you are still using older viewers, which are not capable of showing the new alpha layers and mesh objects, it is not advisable for you to purchase this avatar. 

I highly recommend you to download and use one of the latest mesh enabled viewers. 


**All items have been especially created and fitted for this avatar only! They are therefore not available as single items! This gives you more exclusivity, since it's more likely uncommon to see someone else wearing the same stuff.**

So I've Been Copybotted!!

After selling stuff peacefully in world and online to a niche market for 6 years, I just discovered today that two of my products have been stolen via copybotting. The avatar named "Rchel Cadell", probably a disposable account, is selling copybotted items from different creators, including the two beds I'm selling (see my product ads).

Now I probably would never understand, how someone can steal an object and sell it for 20L full perm. I mean c'mon! Money is definitely not the motivation here, since how many do you need to sell to make it profitable? Just calculate and it's a joke. I have a feeling that this is a "hate" motivated action.

Could it be an alt of a competitor?

I bought both beds but only received the "Glam Punk" item. I checked it and the scripts for the animation, and the bedsheet, also the animations aren't included. So it's basically a textureless copy.

It kinda makes me sad that these copybotters just don't respect the hard work we put in our creations. If I think of how many weeks I spent creating the bed, especially the textures; installing the scripts and animation and the testing over and over again, until I was fully satisfied. Would any sane person really think an item like that would be for sale for 20Linden Dollars --> Full Perm?!

The more upsetting part here is also how Linden Lab deals with these cases. No person with little SL time and busy RL would take the effort of going through the DMCA process or to court for an item worth 3 USD. But anyone could easily recognize which is the copybotted or original item. Anyone really.

If you regularly monitor the new products section at SL Marketplace and set the filter to full perm, you will see that the marketplace is flooded everyday with copybotted items. I guess the creators just got tired of reporting the items, since they show up all over again.

Why can't Linden Lab set-up certain restrictions for merchants, like Payment Info on File or a certain identification. I mean people who take their business seriously and plan to cash out someday, already have legit accounts registered; otherwise it won't be possible to cash out right?!

I know it's meant to be that, everyone should have a fair chance to sell their creations inworld and online. But requiring identification or certain skills imho, would definitely clean up the marketplace a lot.

So buyer beware! Remember: If it sounds or looks too good to be true, then it is. NO ONE in their right mind would sell a very well crafted item for a very cheap price and full perm. Try it and find out.

Just try to do the following: Learn the tools; learn how to build things; work on your items for weeks or months; do the photo shoots and create the ads; set the permissions and check them over and over again; box up the items; upload them to SLM, then sell them for 20L full perm. Do you get it now? NO ONE in their right mind would do this. Not even a totally lonely, desperate, suicidal or unemployed person with a lot of time in their hands.

Also don't forget, that once you purchase stolen items, you are supporting this copybot behavior. One day those items will disappear from your inventory, once Linden Lab finally deletes them.

Let's just hope that those copybotters, who are obviously using copybot viewers, get their malware and viruses from those forbidden viewers. Karma can be a bitch I tell you.

Here are some hints for you on how to recognize copybotted items:

• They are mostly sold for a very cheap price, if you consider how complex and well crafted the item is.
• They are mostly sold with full permissions or sometimes copy/transfer/no mod.
• The avatar is mostly a new account with a random not-to-be-taken-seriously name.
• If the avatar is a bit older (either stolen or bought account), the profile is mostly blank or have only very little information, which says it's not an active avatar. Be prepared for lack of support in case any issues come up.
• The Marketplace store is not well taken care of (see logos, description etc.)
• The item images are just quick snapshots inworld with no care. Sometimes they even steal the original ad pictures and use them. If the ad is self made, it's mostly of poor quality or it just plain sucks. Now if anyone is so creative to build a very high quality item, that person mostly also knows how to work Gimp or Photoshop.
• There is almost no item description on the product page.
• If you check the other items in the person's listing, you will recognize at least one familiar item. Now if you find one copybotted item from the listing, expect all other items to be also copybotted versions.
• Most items sold do not have textures. Sometimes only textured with plywood.

There are of course criminals who steal and build up their business in a very well planned and well thought manner. Those cases mostly end up in court. Just google examples of many skin creator dramas and battles. Now those people who plan well and put a lot of effort in altering the stuff they steal, are the very dangerous ones. Because one day, they are all of a sudden recognized and accepted  as a legit "designer" in the SL community, until someone starts to sue them.

Just hope that it never happens to you. Don't be fooled and do your research or one day, all our favorite designers will just disappear from SL and all what's left will be ugly stuff and copies and knock-offs.

Complete Vampire Avatar Lucrecia - C-Stylez by CanTell Mizser!

This is a complete pack for Collectors, Roleplayers, Starters, Vampires, Queens and Extravagant Ladies. Purchase this Complete Avatar and you're ready to go! 

Now available at SLM and my inworld store.

All items are not sold as single items, since they were designed, made and fitted for this particular avatar only. This gives you more exclusivity, cause you won't find them anywhere else.

The Lucrecia Avatar is a classic Vampire avatar made and designed with special attention to details.

Set includes:

4 Skins = C/NM/NT
2 Body Shapes (1 regular shape for lingerie / 1 shape for mesh gown) = C/M/NT
5 Eyes = C/NM/NT
Eyelashes = C/NM/NT
Eyebrows (please wear to achieve the facial feature) = C/NM/NT
Fangs (you can get a free emoter hud like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Lady-As-Emoter-HUD/297844 if you want the open mouth gesture)
2 Hairstyles = C/M/NT
Lingerie = C/NM/NT

Mesh Gown = Prim Skirts and Top Ruffles are C/M/NT; Mesh Top C/NM/NT
Pin Pumps including alpha layer (no resizer, no tinter, no scrips) = C/M/NT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Permissions:

* All attachable items (prim parts aside from mesh gown and AO) are copy/mod/no transfer
* Body Shapes are copy/mod/no transfer
* Wearable Clothing layers, alpha, eyebrows and skin are copy/no mod/no transfer

Tip: Please wear alpha layers by using the "add" option instead of "wear" This way, you can wear more than one layer at the same time. The same applies for tattoo layer. Always "add" instead of wear, to wear multiple layers.

* Mesh and wearing multiple layers only work on 3.0 and up Viewers!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clothing and Layers:

The Gown base is mesh - so please use a mesh enabled viewer! Included is a body shape especially fitted for the Gown Mesh, as well as an alpha layer, which should be worn using the "add" option.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attachment points:

All attachment points are also mentioned, to make it easier for you, when combining outfits.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shoes:

Since inviprims are already outdated and cause many issues (like when standing on transparent floors), I do not include them anymore, but include an alpha layer instead.

It is strongly suggested to switch to one of the advanced viewers or simply download and install the official Second Life Viewer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tips for optimal lighting:

Since facelights are already outdated and annoying, I do not include them anymore in my avatar packs. I advice you to tweak your windlight settings instead, to achieve the exact avatar appearance.

If you are using the Firestorm Viewer, the best setting for your skin (the one I use for the pictures) is -- Nam's Optimal Skin 2. All picture shots aside from the vintage shots, were made using this windlight setting.

If you are using the official Second Life Viewer, please set your windlight and save it as a preset.

For new residents, this setting is to be found under your menu --world, --environment settings, --environment editor, --advanced sky, --sky presets. Just choose the one that you like best or tweak it to your liking.

Included in the pack is a notecard with my windlight setting suggestion.

***Attention***

All products that are copy/mod/no transfer are non-refundable, so please read the descriptions carefully before you purchase.

Should you encounter any issues regarding my products, please don't hesitate to contact me per notecard with your transaction number or via https://my.secondlife.com/cantell.mizser which is better, since I am rarely inworld.
