(This item is for WOMEN ONLY! Male Version Sold Separately)
Are you Dark? Edgy? Just an unfathomable void of night? Well cheer up, cupcake, because BOY do I have a head for you! The Cowled Head is a faceless void inside of a black hood, perfect for those aspiring Grim Reapers and Nazguls. You'll be so EDGE-LORD, they'll have to make you the EDGE-QUEEN! You'll bleed black nail polish and angsty poems. The Crow will personally call you up and ask you for melancholy words that rhyme with "Dark".
PLEASE NOTE: This version is for WOMEN ONLY. There is a Men's Cowled Head available, sold separately. Most front-face accessories won't work well with it. It removes the hair completely and blocks any "hair channel" items. Please use TRY IT before you BUY IT to ensure it works with your chosen outfit! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit or body type.
Want a White Hood? Blood Red? And how about some Glowing Red Eyes?! Well then, buddy, start Deriving! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):
This is the actual Texture map used on the Outside of the Hood. Use this for small changes, such as color:
This is the Wireframe Template for the Outside of the Hood. This shows you exactly how the Texture map adheres to the structure of the model. You'll need this if you want to create a completely new Texture map:
There is a Texture map for the Inside of the Hood, but it's just a 32x32 pixel, solid black image. It is possible though to make a completely new texture with glowing eyes, or use animation to make a moving pattern of light within the hood. Don't feel married to simple black, try something new! The Wireframe template below will guide you:
It's possible to alter the shape of the head drastically. In the Editor, under the Meshes tab, look for Mesh Scale, and carefully alter the numbers. Keep between 1.0 and 0.7, in most cases, or the results might become comical and bizarre (unless that's what you're into).
This item shouldn't need any sound, but if you must add some, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:

Also avoid looping sounds, as they tend to get annoying to listen to very quickly. Try to keep your volume levels low as well, as IMVU tends to over-amplify all audio playback to near ear-bleeding levels.
