I have to agree with Sonja, the ears are exactly the same as Haley by Naughty Designs with the only difference of being placed a bit higher… same shadows, same highlights…That’s what I saw from photos I took of both of them and compared side by side. Too improbable to obtain exactly the same texture despite having used the same source… Strange. And for the belly, at least this designer was very attentive looking at Minnu skins bellies very attentive.

sorry for the imprecision.. the ears are from Haley skin (ND design)
The nose have same light of my Alina…
Don’t want to tell that is a ripped skin, probably use the same photosources…

I had to calm down some before I dared to post.I wore Alina for a year and she was always for me the best, like for many other women in sl.
Michelle is not in anyway copied from Alina.All bodyparts are photosourced and some of these sources cant be found on net bc are “private” sources.We worked many nights on that skin to make how we had in mind, a classy fresh young woman.One that is compatible with many shapes
(never can with all for sure).When I read a comment like that I want to stop creating for people that dont respect the work and afford,the many hours and nights to make what we wanted,not a ripped version of any skin already present in sl.
Everyone is free to purchase the skin that suits him/her most,no one is forced to buy anything they dont like.
I write here also for my partner,the creator of Michelle.
I think there are so many things to do in SL that make fun,alot more then searching spots on av bodies.
We will not comment this issue anymore.

Sonja - I tried on both the Alina and MMSkins and I do not agree. The ears are not remotely the same as Alina and the stomachs on the MMSkins are also different. It’s potentially very damaging to imply such similarities, and I can assure you I surely would not be blogging any skins that I was at all concerned were based on another creator’s work. While you’re free to compare and make your own decisions, I stand by my decision to blog them as the creators’ own work.
