I'm Not Dead!

This semester has been awful to me and when I take my last exam Friday I'll be free! Free as a bird until school starts back up again in January. I'm glad it's to be over with in all honesty.

Anyway, I'm still working my little simself story. Turns out I'm too stubborn to go back into my urn when daylight comes around. Let me say, that's made things quite annoying. I make an annoying ghost. =P

My latest entry from Calender Girls:

I have fallen in love with Lightning. She has this Sims 2 look to her somehow, but she's keeping it pretty at the same time. Also, some little trivia for you, the male in this picture is Tristan from Furyred's Heart Legacy. I shrank his ears a little since it looked a little weird with the short hairstyle. I went with the "Military-Boyfriend-In 1960's setting" idea. I think these two make quite a cute couple. ;D We may be seeing babies in the future! (Maybe)

Uhm, for those interested I made a new art portfolio/gallery site. I imported everything from my Deviant Art account (long story why I moved) which I sometimes update but not always. Anyway, for you stalkers here is my portfolio. (Yay self promotion!)

Oh, and here is a sample of a piece I'm working on, I'm still fixing everything up, but it's called a Work-In-Progress for a reason. Oh and there is "boobies" in this piece, meaning that there is outlines of balloons where a certain female body part should be. There is no tiny circles in these balloons. If you are offended by balloons or slight boobies, then I think you shouldn't be following my blog. >_>

It will look way better when done. I haven't done any coloring in Photoshop for a loooong time. I had this drawn on a bristol board in pencil. I took a picture of it with my awesome Droid Eris smartphone. Then I traced it with the pen tool and laid out some basic colors and shades. I plan to go back and fix the eyes and add some more detail and cut off the shot at the upper boobie level. 

I really can't believe it's almost been a month since I've posted. What be wrong with me? D:<

(Side Note: I have used the word boobie in this post 4 times! :D)

What's To Come

So It's been too long since I've made a post. So I'll just make this a preview post for some Sims I've been working on.

I call her Neon. She'll be the second Sim I make for the Periodic Sims. I'm not that happy with her yet, but I love the sparkle shorts. ;D

This is Lightning who I originally made for Blaz's Faerie Folk competition and since I missed that deadline, I took off her wings and changed her hair and stuck her in the Timeless Beauties Calender Girls competition hosted by Sereniticat2 and Hushfirefly. 

Any Final Fantasy fans out there? If you look closely you may be able to tell I based my Lightning on Final Fantasy 13's Lightning.

 

She didn't turn out how I wanted so I just added my own flair. I've been so addicted to this game, sorry for the lack of updates. I'm not spending all my time on this game though, I'm getting close to the end of the semester at my college and I'm trying to buckle down and study more. If you're my friend on Facebook then you know about the last couple pieces of art I've been working on. 

Sadly, that is all I have for now. I'll post again soon.

Can't Stop The Rain

Something awful has happened in my house of pixels.

You see, it all started with a fire. A fire that me and my pixel husband put out. So we decided in front of the fireplace that just caught on fire would be a great place to get into that frisky. Now, I don't have pictures of the first fire, but it started when I had just gotten myself and Jesse into the "Irresistible" mood. I figured that was a coincidence.

"STOP KISSING ME! MY BUTT IS ON FIRE!" The fire went haywire and I was put out pretty quickly but still singed. 

So I caught on fire again! My children were in the room but freaking out due to the fire, so it was me and the husband putting out this rouge fire on our own. The fire department was still a no show.

Oh hey, there you are!

Oh but you were too late! My poor teenage daughter is now forever scarred from witnessing my death. Yay for ruining her life even in death!

Worst part of it all: spending my final minutes with that horrible hair and barely clothed.  Oh and that blue haired guy is my son. Isn't he so cute? Erm anyways, begging didn't work.

There's my urn, isn't just so smexy? I made myself a little "shrine" by using one of the World Adventures pedestal display cases with a couple of flowers, but I forgot to take a picture of it. So a floor picture will have to do. 

Everything was so quiet in the house. The family members barely spoke to each other, usually I have to constantly pull them away from each other to get some work done. 

Jesse kept himself distracted with improving his martial arts skill. Everyone was so depressed, I had my daughter call in one the professionals....

Thus Is Life

I received some very bad news today:

Yep folks, the lovely non-default skin tones are now obsolete due to the new patch. They cause the new boob and muscle tone sliders not appear at all. What does this mean? What shall happen to my colorful Sims? I simply cannot live without my beautiful skins. 

It' okay Carbon, we'll figure something out. You can cry if you want to. D':

Okay, this is depressing. Time to move onto a happy subject! I has won an award!

What, you expected a real reward? Pfffttt! My simself has gained the key to the city for being such an awesomesauce architect, because that's totally what mayors give to architects. So I appeared in my whole cleavage-y goodness and accepted my key from the very odd hippie-ish mayor. I be so jealous of his luscious mane. 

Yeah slut-face, you better cheer for me- ooo confetti~ Overall, I say party was a modest attempt. Needed more confetti and better people to look at. :3

Darling, It's About Time

I've been a little busy putting this together.

Just A Paper Bag:

Chapter 1: Get Gone.

Why is this chapter so late you may ask? Well, I felt my prologue was just too good. In all honesty I felt like I was going to disappoint. So I waited until any form of a chapter is better than a no chapter. Haha. That and I'm always short on time. I'm actually really excited to see myself working on this. The story idea came to me a in a dream. Anyway, I hope you like the new chapter, I hope it's not too awful, I'm getting rusty with my writing.

Giraffes

Hey, this is my 40th post. Yay!

So I've been super busy with my studies and what-not again. The last couple of days I've been up way late to work on these art projects I had to do. I don't have a picture of the one that took me like two nights to finish, (it didn't turn out that great and I hated looking at it) instead I have the second one I did which I am super proud of.

Medium: Gray-scale construction paper cut with an X-acto knife and glued with cement glue. Have I ever told you my obsession with giraffes? Well, I love them. They are so awkward looking that they are ever so graceful and cautious. It's wonderful.

On a Sim's related note I downloaded the Create A World Tool, I don't have it installed yet, but that will be fixed soon. Uhmm. That's all I have to say now I think.

History Books Forgot About Us

I'm living up to that promise I made weeks ago; I'm posting my faerie from Blazaxx's Faerie Folk contest. I was eliminated this past week, which is sad, but I at least came in fifth. I'm glad I didn't lose to some awful contestants either, those peeps left are crazy awesome and I can't wait to see who wins this cycle.

Anyway, most of the pictures I have of Rue are contest pictures, but the only Photoshop that I have done is hue and brightness and contrast. So she will look very much like the photos. I'd also like to point out - Click the picture for a bigger view.

Same head shot I've used for my other posts on her. It's just my favorite portrait of her. You can see the detail in the eyes and it's just so pretty. Hair is a retexture by Missbonbon.

I never entered this picture, but everywhere I seem to post it, people seem to like this one. I do too.  Hair retexture by Anubis.

Aww, doesn't she look so cute in her little apron dress?

I made this super grunge set and then ended up not using them for the assignment, for it didn't follow what the host wanted. As you have noticed, I really like that hair on her. I've used it for probably half of the assignments.

Okay, so the Rue Deburt file doesn't contain all of these outfits, so here's what she'll come in this outfit that is in the game and the hair in the first picture:

Here she is on the Exchange if you want to rec or the Mediafire file doesn't work that well.
