As with any sl venture that is to the level of Second Life Syndicate, there is a huge amount of communication that goes on behind the scenes. Ylva and I talk, and we do it often. It isn’t always about work stuff. One of the things that has popped up a few times over the years, and has a lot more recently is our enjoyment of the Erika body by Kalhene. Ylva and I actually really enjoy the Erika body.
I tend to be more of a professional volleyball player build, slight and muscled, and Ylva is all curves, like everywhere. For each of us to be able to use the same body, get it to work to our liking, is actually very amazing.
SL has taken up the curve train these last few years, and it leaves those who don’t want them sort of sitting off to the side waiting for something more fitting to a realistic and less curvy stature. Don’t get me wrong, I am not looking to be a twig, hence the muscles thrown in. I just like my avi to look like I did when I was in the military(IRL). Curves really were not a factor at that point in my life.
So I enjoy the Erika, you can shape it down, and if it doesn’t work out exactly, guess what, there are deformers galore! For you curvy girls, Ylva can attest, Curves can happen, like all of them, all over, for days!
The Hud is really nice to use, and the designer constantly updates little things here and there, either giving us more options or making things more streamlined on the body.
We both like the transgender support as well.
I will be trying to showcase this body a bit more, as it is finally getting the support it needs by 3rd party creators. I waited, if only for the fact that the first wave of creations the last year and a bit was predominately Whore Couture. Trying to find just normal jeans or something was a task, let alone a shirt that was a full shirt. The hunt it a little bit easier now, with more options coming out every week.
Normandy has this sci-fi swimsuit out at Abnormality right now, which is Erika compatible! Normandy has very customizable items, with a full texture hus, as well as a tinting hud. The options are really endless.
Below is a short GIF showing the little particles from LuluB, which is a gift you can find at the FLF Bday Bash. Pictures can never catch these little guys right!
