Why Matis are so thin

The secret is, they've got girdles in their armor.

How do I know this? Well, I just finished up the Matis armor in our armor gallery. It took a bit of time because the armor seems to slim the avatar so I had a lot of work making it so the underlying nude avatar didn't show around the edge of the armor.

To all the Matis out there, your secret is out!

So after a little liposuction on Keichitsu's hips and working off Aylwyne's love handles, it's all ready to go. Enjoy.

Zoraï up next!

P.S. We're looking for a crafter for MQ and/or HQ Zoraï medium gloves.

We are slim because we run alot in the woods and stuff. Yubo pie is also very low on carbs, so that also helps.

You are all doing a great job on that site of yours. I'm very impressed :)

That's the next step after I finish up Zoraï. Yes, it's a huge amount of work. Each avatar race / armor race combination generates 1632 images (one for each piece of armor, front and back) so it takes a while to process all of these.

The longest part is actually getting the screenshots themselves but, unfortunately, this is also one of the hardest pieces to have someone else do (mainly because of my perfectionist tendencies when it comes to the site).

But it will happen, it just might take a few months to get it all done. We're only 18.75% done currently :)

Congratulations on another fantastic & unbelievable job! I was so proud & excited to help out, just wish I'd volunteered so earlier so I could help with more than just the Matis medium. I can't wait to see it - I hope the site is accessible soon...

BTW, as much as my guildies may disbelieve me, I did not try on every possible combination of the 100+ pieces I made.

I'll just have to tweak the model in photoshop (or my own imagination) :D

Unfortunately, yesterday afternoon our hosting service experienced a serious outage. They're working on the issue but I don't have any information on when they expect to have it corrected. :(
