Male Shapes for Catwa Shaheen & Akeruka Aron Bento Heads

I was recently invited to sell some of my male shapes at The Mens Dept event, which is a monthly event for male avatars that starts on the 5th of each month. So on July 5th, four of my new male shapes will be available there during the month of July. Teleport to TMD!

I decided to create four male shapes for two of the latest male bento heads released on the grid: Catwa Shaheen Bento Head and Akeruka Aron Bento Head. I will share videos of all the shapes along with a bit of information about each bento head.

Catwa Shaheen Bento Head & My Shapes

My Shapes: I have created two shapes for this head, for slightly different looks. My shapes are named Shaheen and Shahzad and they will be available for sale at The Mens Dept starting July 5th for a discounted price of L$150 for both of them together. After July they will be available in my marketplace store. There are no DEMOs for my shapes, please see my video for a full view of the shapes.
Price of Head: The price of this head is L$5000 and it is available at the Catwa mainstore. The DEMO is free.
Omega Compatibility: This head is omega compatible, as are all the other Catwa mesh heads. You can pick up the omega relay hud for Catwa heads on marketplace.
Layers: This head has 3 layers: The first layer is for skin and then it has two layers for makeup on top of that, which are divided into different sections, providing you many options for a more customized look.
HUDs: The head comes with two HUDs: the master HUD and the Animations HUD. The master HUD has all of the skin, makeup and hairbase options. The Animations HUD controls blinking, talking, static eyes and lips and 24 expressions.
Rigged Eyes: The head comes with rigged eyes that should be worn with it and can be changed and modified using the Catwa Mesh Eyes HUD as well as any appliers made for Catwa mesh eyes.
More Information: For more information about Catwa Bento heads, click over to Catwa’s website for a detailed post as well as her youtube channel for an even more detailed video.
Customer Service Questions: If you have any questions about this head, it would be best if you looked at the designer’s profile, her name is Catwa Clip, to see how she prefers to be contacted for customer service issues as I will probably not be able to assist you with that.

Akeruka Aron Bento Head & My Shapes

My Shapes: I have created two shapes for this head, for slightly different looks.

Main HUD includes: The ability to minimize the main HUD, 10 skin tones, more layers, tinting, blending and specular on almost all layers, eye animation and 3 new lip animations on main HUD, you can also now hide your teeth and parts of your skull to fit hair better, cosmetics and more.
Basic HUD: It comes with a basic HUD that has 3 static eye poses and 3 static mouth poses.
Customer Service Questions: If you have any questions about this head, it would be best if you looked at the designer’s profile, his name is Kaoz Koba, to see how he prefers to be contacted for customer service issues as I will probably not be able to assist you with that.

I hope you like my shapes and enjoy wearing them with your Catwa and Akeruka male bento heads. If you have any customer service issue with them, please note that I will be away on vacation starting next week and will be back in August. So please email me your customer service questions and I will get back to you as soon as I am back in August. Thank you!

UPDATE AUGUST 2017: TMD July is over now and I have put up these 4 shapes separately in my marketplace store for L$99 each. Links to each individual shape in my marketplace store is linked below in the style credits.
