This is an overview of the SKNK Alien Heads for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information may or may not apply to other SKNK heads, however the photos are only of the Aliens (Solee, Uvai, and Vasaran) and the list is what comes with the fatpack. Other heads may have slightly different content. As always I strongly encourage you to demo before making any final purchases. To browse other mesh heads, bodies, and more check out The Mesh Directory.

HUD
Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Uvai and Vasaran have 4 different shape options for the back of the head.
- The included applier HUD makes it easy to apply your own textures.
- The creator is extremely helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. This is confirmed in their Marketplace reviews and I can also attest to it from my own experience.
Neutral Notes
- *Eyes are only included on Vasaran. The others don’t have eyes, so it’s not needed.
- * While applier save slots are not included, an applier itself is, so you could save different looks in that.
- * While there are no cosmetic applier layers you CAN add your own textures!
Cons
- The Alien Heads doesn’t come with alphas to hide your default head and eyes, but alphas are easy to find if you don’t already have some.
- If you don’t know how to make your own textures you’ll have to purchase others to change your head’s appearance beyond the shape.
- The included eyes are basically a backup just in case you aren’t using other mesh eyes. The creator recommends using FATEEyes.
