* I have been a resident in Second Life since Tue 22nd Mar 2005.
I have spent most my time in world learning and trying to say that I
specialise in one area gets tricky. I have specilisations within
various areas but I have tried my hand at most things I have had a
chance at.
* My main skill (going on the custom work I am predominately
asked about) would be scripting. Within scripting I concentrate on data
management. I use web based languages (php, mysql and sometimes even
html) to enhance my LSL skills.
* Building started for me as “somewhere to keep my scripts”. I
have since discovered a love for making jewelry, I find working on
jewelry almost a meditation, it allows me to express my creative side
without having to worry deadlines or whether I am building to what the
client needs. However, I will and do build pretty much everything.
Recently with the introduction of Sculptured Prims I have been able to
put some more of my Real Life education into use, having studied both
2d and 3d computer based art.
* Which nicely takes me onto texturing. Of all the external
programs I use to aid me in Second life, Photoshop is my real forte. I
have at some point in the past worked on pretty much all aspects of
texturing from clothes and skins, right through to Terrain Raw. I
personally avoid working on clothes and skins as both are saturated
markets in world.
* There are quite a few other things I have done in Second
Life, quite often to enhance projects in other areas, for example
learning to animate avatars so I can add my own animation overrides to
various pieces I have made, but mainly these are just to assist my main
skills.
* I would say that the main attribute that both hinders me and
pushes me on, is that I need to learn. I like to stay at the cutting
edge, learn the newest skills and techniques, even when doing so mean
that I don’t make full use of what I have learned previously.
