The interesting thing about creating avatars in Second Life is that I never really know which avatar might appeal to Second Life residents. Sometimes I create an avatar that I personally love but for some reason isn’t really popular and doesn’t sell well. Other times, I create an avatar or a series that appeals to a broad audience or attracts a niche. In the case of my fantasy avatars, the faery queen series is quite popular.

Before making the faery queens, I made a very basic faery that I called Maeva.

She was my first attempt at a fantasy avatar and, though lovely, nowhere near as complex and interesting, in my mind, as the faery queens.

I was actually going to retire her after releasing the faery queens. However, one of my customers talked me out of that, explaining that she was a great starter faery for newcomers to fantasy avatars. Here’s the interesting part: once the faery queens went up and attracted a strong following, little Maeva also started to attract a following of her own and became a very popular item.

I thought it was time to create a few sisters for Maeva. Here there are:

Miri Pink Faery

Mauve Lavendar Faery

Matahina Blue Faery

Come see them for yourself at the Atea Avatars Mainstore. Stop for a while and take a stroll though the pathway in the faery forest. If you explore the Atea Avatars grounds you might just find the faery queen’s residence. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Qissence/121/97/49
