It’s safe to say that in certain areas of Second Life™ spotting a Niramyth Aesthetic mesh body is a very rare thing indeed. Head over the adult world and gay-men-only sims in particular and you’ll find that in some cul-de-sacs this mesh body still has a loyal fan base. Maybe it’s because these fans don’t like change, or it could be that they haven’t found anything that matches the distinctive Aesthetic look. Personally I only dust it off every now and again, when I’m feeling whimsical, which is peculiar as there is nothing all that whimsical about this muscle man.
The Aesthetic body never was updated to BOM and though this body comes with a neck blender to help you combine it with mesh heads, we’ve now been so spoiled with perfect neck seams on other mesh bodies, that this solution leaves much to be desired. Those of you who have the Aesthetic body, now that you’re only options are to stretch your head until the back of it goes through the blender or you can leave just a bit of space, making the blender look good from a straight-on back view, but from the side you’ll notice it standing away from your head slightly. It’ll do from a bit of distance or with a less critical mindset when you lower your expectations. It’s not like I’m trying to sell the Aesthetic body to anyone, I’m simply revisiting it.
As I recently reached back to the Catwa Travis head for the look in my previous blog post, after having been a Lelutka-only bitch for a minute, I thought I’d plonk this particular head on the Aesthetic body. I already had a shape for this head with various other mesh bodies and have now added a versions for the Aesthetic body to it. Now I just need to go find myself a beach and some muscle worshippers to fall at my feet.
