I Am A Warrior!

So this is my current entry for Calendar Girls: Timeless Beauties, or something to that sort. The assignment was Greek Warrior.

As far as editing goes, I played with levels and the hue/saturation, and I also added in some of those bruises and dirt, or whatever you want them to be. Hahaha.

On another note, I have a beauty soon up for grabs:

Her name be Helvetica sonz. I once had this great idea, why not name Sims after typefaces?! So here is Helvetica unofficially. I still need to rip the skin off of her and upload her properly so no black skinned Sims for you. Though sometimes I enjoy getting surprise skins when I install a Sim. It's like free CC with no hassle!

Comps Comps Comps

Wow, posting a blog on the Macs at my college is so weird. I don't know how big the monitor is, but it is huuuugggeee compared to my laptop. Anyway, I want to spend a moment to talk about competitions.

First up, some of you may have heard about JKAmaryllis' new competition called Canvas. It's where the assignments are going to be based off of different types, maybe pieces, of art. I think this is going to be a fun competition and I really can't wait to see how it goes. Amber is a great competition host and she judges quite fair. You can see the thread here.

Random picture to fill the space.

Another competition I want to talk about is ☆Static Future Modeling☆ that is hosted by SimsARL and CrazyPlumbob915. This is a new competition and the first to be hosted by these two. They both are excellent hosts that are always on time and always checking the thread. There hasn't been a time where I was left waiting for a response. The two are professional with their competition. The thread is neatly laid out and well categorized. So A+ for design, ladies! They judge fairly and are always giving recommendations on how to improve in their comments. I would definitely sign up for another one of their competitions. The thread can be found here.

Another random picture to fill the space.

I liked making a post like this. I could probably do a whole segment on competition reviews. What do you think?

Yay 50 posts!

Wow, that took me forever to reach, haha.

So, I did my windows re-install and now that everything is normal-ish and my Adobe CS5 is working, my Sims game looks really different.

It looks smaller and more skewed then before. I checked the resolution and it is the one right for my computer, but it still doesn't look right. i'm thinking I'm missing a driver, but I have all the ones for my graphics card. So I don't know. I want it back to being what it was before.

I sold my first art prints today! This guy at work really liked my Edgar Allen Poe stamps I made and so I printed them off before the stamp process.

They are all hand painted in gouache and watercolor as separate pieces, then they were scanned in and resized and all stamp-ified. The first one in the series is probably my favorite, the girl one looked much better as a sketch. :]

I have to apologize for the people who wanted Lightning. I didn't save her in my Sim bin like I thought I did. So no more Lightning. D:

Want more pictures? I hate making blog posts without a bunch of pictures. I made these atrocities for some comps I had due after I did a system re-install. I will always smack myself in the head for not doing these before I had to do the re-install.

First up is Hitched:

I recycled this picture, I was going to use it for a different assignment, but then decided on a different approach. I downloaded that font just for this entry. I'm surprised how well I did in the scores too. I thought for sure I was going to be eliminated.

Next is Timeless Beauties Calender Girls:

I was inspired by Sun who said she was going to make her model thinking about her army boy, but she was too busy. I couldn't shake the idea so I made this. I like how he is popping out of the thought bubble, but I wish I didn't cut off his hand like that. I should have left it or something. Very unprofessional to have random limbs cut off. 

That's all I have, sadly. So thanks for reading ;D

Etoile Espeon

This is Bailey's significant other Etoile. Again, just another quick post as tomorrow my boyfriend is re-installing windows for me and I need my precious simmies. Also I just noticed I had pretty much no good pics of her by herself. I think it's obvious who my favorite person is . Sorry Etoile.

CC LIST: Hair Re-texture by Anubis | Outfit is a donation item from Liana | Skin by Fawkes

Downloooaaadddd

As I said before, both types of Sim files are included with the download.

Bailey Bulbasaur

I'm currently having some computer problems, so I'm going to quickly put this up. CC list will come when I can. I have the basics.

CC LIST: Hair by Lotus | SnakeBites by SkeletalScreams | Contains quite a bit of Late Night stuff and uses a custom skin. I was going to upload her without the skin, but that never happened.

Download~

*There was a tie in that poll I did forever ago on what file I should upload my Sims in, so I have both file types in one download. This way you can install it the way you want and then just delete the other. If one doesn't work, use the other method. :] 

What I Do With Your Sims When You Are Not Looking

So nothing is easier than using someone's pre-made sims and dropping them into your game. My favorite thing to do is to use them in competition assignments and see if anyone has noticed.

Example:

This is my picture for Calender Girls' second assignment. Now, If you look closely you see a chick in  pink and Bailey on the drums. Would you like to see the other "Props"?

First up is the pink chick:

Want to know who she is? She's Piper Amiee-Lee Lawson from Furyred's Heart Family Legacy. I dyed her hair pink and went all out. I tried to go with a hair metal feel for my makeshift band, but I feel she is more punk. I've been meaning to use that top by Evie and I felt it was perfect.

Next on the list, the guitarist:

Okay, so all of my extras this time comes from Fury's legacy. I couldn't remember which one he is, I'm thinking Saffron. I kept his brown hair color, took of his top, made him more hair metal to my best ability. He looks good like this, reminds me of a werewolf. He would make a seeeexy werewolf.

Now, I know I've told you all my model's official extra is Tristan, but I wanted to show him too:

Nothing says hair metal like a black jacket and some red eye makeup. I think it looks good on him. Tristan might do well in Drag. Tristan was going to be the groom in my shot but he kept getting in the way so I moved him to the side. Such an attention slut. 

Now, I know some people get all mad when peeps modify their Sims and whatev's, but I didn't claim as my own and I gave credit.So it'sa bunch of pixels that aren't uploaded anywhere. Oh and my space bar is hating me so if words are all together, then I'm sorry, I tried to catch all of them.

Love Type Thing

Want to see my new favorite screen shot?

She just looks so happy banging on her drums. I made a new couple for JKAmaryllis' competition called Hitched. 

Bailey, pictured above, makes some of the best faces. She makes my face go all happeh.

Etoile, Bailey's "partner" as you people force upon them to use, doesn't make as much faces. I had to sit for the longest time waiting for her to do an idle animation. 

These two were destined/forced together by me and they are cute. The two should be up for upload when I get the chance. I just wanted to take these so I could turn in my models.  

:]
