The store is owned by Tellaq Guardian. Talking to him earlier, he called himself a graphics designer in real-life. Why he chose that particular first name, he did it as a yuk, “ ‘Tellaq’ means a cleaner guy in a Turkish bath. He cleans the customers (grin), helping them to clean their shoulders and (places on) their back where they can’t reach.” He first began making skins several months after entering Second Life. His main reason for creating the business, “I couldn’t find any good black skins for myself. As you can see in the store, there are many Afro skins.”

While taking a look at the place, I ran into a Damian Drammond. He praised Tellaq for his work, “He does the best skins in Second Life. If you want realism, this is the place to come. He comes up with a new skin every day. He needs a bigger shop (laughter).” I thought he worked for him at first, but it turned out he didn’t. “I do avatar makeovers for guys,” he told me, “But I’m a sucker, help out the newbie population. I usually do ‘em for free (laughter).” Because of the detail of the skins, he was sending people here, “I think he has about 60 -70 skins in here alone. I know I own about 10-15. I am hooked on his skins.” He felt several were particularly good, but the “Eric” was his favorite, “he’s realistic enough but not over the top.”

Tellaq Avatar Creations is at the Tropical Breeze sim at (39, 61, 23).
So if you want a quality ethnic look, Tellaq is one place you will want to check out, or as someone put it, “If you want to look good in black, head to Tellaq.”
“I like what he does, and we need more of it. His customer service is second to none.”

Indeed, Tellaq makes in my opinion the most uniquely HUMAN looking skins for male avatars I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThe Pictures on the promo boards simply DO NOT show the true potential of these outstanding works of art.
My First Purchase was the Francis skin tone3 Style 5. These skin are the few that can be bought as a single skin purchase & wow did I chose well. Aside from Francis which I love alot, I have fallen inlove with a great deal many others since lol.
I agree with Damian Drammond 100% that Tellaq Skins are indeed the BEST ethnic skins in all of SL & it shows because the skins here are very versatile where dressing them up are concerned & I still have not found something that looks bad with them. "Clothing"
If you look at the faces up close you see & can almost feel the warmth & moistness of the photorealism in these skins.
I am pround to be wearing these skins & I am caucasion, but I love ethnicity in many respects, I believe ethnic diversity is like spice in life.... its that simple for me.
I am greatful for telented men like tellaq who work hard at their craft to bring us these creations for our diverse Sl experience.
Thank You Tellaq & thank you for allowing me the opportunity to show others how wonderful your skins truly are :)
