Okay I said I wasn’t going to post about anything got from freebie places, because I don’t generally trust them, but this one I have checked out and it is apparently genuine. Now I know that furry avatars aren’t strictly “fashion”, neither was the Iron Man one, but some people just aren’t happy being human, and part of their definition of “looking good” involves a non-human avatar, and if you’re on a tight budget that isn’t easy.

Aside from the usual poor-quality free furry avatars, Vienna Freebies has a set of decent ones created by Wingless Emoto. There’s a wolf, a fox, a hyena and a horse. Each one comes in many colours, and each box contains a number of different variations including male or female shape, digitigrade or plantigrade legs, different hairstyles, forepaws or hands, flexi or non-flexi tails, some with different skin patterns also. All but the hyena come with control and/or customisation HUDs, they are also customisable by chat command. And as with most furry avs, they’re also copy/mod/no-trans, so you can duplicate parts and modify away to your heart’s content (which is what I did with my original non-free Extrovirtual horse)
Of course I had to try out all the blue ones, especially the horse, but really these pictures don’t do justice to the amazing variation of avatars here. I can’t quite decide if the hyena or the wolf is my favourite. I can also highly recommend Luskwood as a cool and friendly place to hang out for new furries.
The shorts are previous freebies from Valiant.
Also while I was hanging out there, Frontier Linden (a black and white cat in a top-hat) came by and hung out there. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Linden just hanging out in a normal place (aside from official Linden-run meetings and events).
Total cost: L$0
