My workflow for these involved:

• Taking a raw snapshot in Second Life.
• Putting it through Picnik.
• Processing it through Photoshop.

… and voila! Yes, I know, odd to mix such a cheap image editor with a much more expensive one. But it worked wonders.

Blossom is my wife’s new themed avatar. She has an awesome animation overrider (alas, you won’t see her being bouncy in these still pics) with sideways flirtiness and sneezes, floral influences, and there’s a bit of Asianity to her dress, too. Kinda Poison Ivy meets one of those Wuxia warriors.
