I am slowly (BUT SURELY) coming back to the simming world this summer!

To start off, I've started a new blog dedicated to my sims work AND others, so I thought I'd post it here and hope you will all take a look and tell everyone about it?! also, if any of you submit your work on there, I would totally look at it and possibly post it

just click my signature to get there!

My Le Raunche picture~

@Harry: That's beautiful, very striking. I love the feeling of realism in all of your photos, especially with this one. It's so refreshing to see something other than a pretty young adult female posing somewhere.

@mvande: I can definitely tell you put a ton of work into that! Having said that, I think the skin shading is fairly excessive. It's easy to go overboard with it. Try to think in terms of softer, more subtle lines. I find the ones here a little too harsh. Nice work with the clothes drawing though, especially for your first time! I'd like to see a little more depth by highlighting the shirt where her chest is, and possibly distorting the stripes so they match the contours of her body. Really though, awesome work

@ladybug: I swear, every time I see you post something, it shows such vast improvement from the last photo I saw from you! Your skin shading is just to die for; I love how it matches the shading in the background. I would like to see a little more highlighting and shininess on the hair though, to match the rest of the pic. Congrats on winning with that though! Totally deserved

@Izzy: YAY I'm so glad you're gonna be back! Definitely gonna keep an eye on that blog

@Jake: Oooh, so fierce! Mind if I ask what you did editing-wise? Really like the detail of your backgrounds by the way, they never feel too empty. What skin do you use? And where is that swimsuit from??

EDIT: Woah, sorry for the novel guys hahaha.

Thanks, Rexy.

Pretty much all I did with that picture is sharpen, and then lightly shade (no highlighting anywhere) down her sides, from elbow to water. Then, I had to recreate the reflection in the water. She had some protruding hair from behind that looked weird to I had to fix that by redoing parts of that palm tree next to her in the background. Also, I had to add in a whole new shoulder/armpit area, because there was a bunch of hair and I couldn't draw to make it look natural. Otherwise, that's it pretty much. Some sharpening, maybe some curves editing.

I use one of Epheremea's skins, can't remember which one and I have nooooo clue where I got the suit x.x TSR probably.

I know there are some flaws here. (I need to fix the right area) :oops:
This isn't complete but some of the hair drawing I started for SMS.
FIRST EVER ATTEMPT,I think it went okay.

@Jake: You're welcome :thumbup: I think that subtle editing can do SO much, honestly (case in point, your photo). Haha and thanks for letting me know! I've been pretty CC hungry lately

@popstar: You have a really nice shape going, it looks very natural! I would work on crisping up the edges, though, since hair isn't really blurry. Seriously great, though, for your first try!!


Here's a few photos I did for my new story over at my blog. I didn't do a ton of editing on them because there were several photos, but I'm happy with the little things I did.







- Enhanced the shading/highlighting on skin/hair/environments
- Added sunbeams shining down through the trees
- Added moss on rock
- Added in teardrops

This is my legacy founder of my newest legacy, just broke up with her boyfriend and thinking about changing her hair.

@Rexy: Thanks for the advice and I really love the girls eyes. If you didn't write what you had done I would have thought it was just like that. A really superb job.

@Carrot: Thats really pretty...period.

@TheFlame&lt;---Didn't know what you wanted to be called. She looks kind of pinkish/redish. Maybe a little too much sun?

@Rexy; I went on a hunt to find the swimsuit that Jake's using in that picture on TSR and I've found it! It actually comes from a set but I'll link the individual pieces of the swimsuit. Here is the top and here are the bottoms.

Here's my first edit in FOREVERRR I'm using it as my entry shot into Flawless Cycle Three.



I'll be the first to admit I jacked up my model in some parts, but what can you do after you haven't edited in almost a year. How you guys like it?

CreatureFearSims

My RP character on Simagination.
I adore him.

Some contouring, shading, drop-shadows, muted colors, and enhanced eyes. So not much, but I think it made a big difference. :P

Here's a little in-progress picture that I'm working on editing for face-off over on Unbound, I got really good at editing makeup all of a sudden (At least compared to what I was before) after reading one of Bliss's tuts, it was great. The hair is in VERY early stages but I'm happy with the makeup, I might still tweak it later, but I'm happy with what I did in three hours or so.



This is what I started with:

dylsoccer12

I edited it to include more details I added. :]

1.) These edits are so amazing! I forget how phenomenal everyone here is!

2.) So, my little cousin dropped my bamboo tablet down the stairs. I wanted to kill her, but it still works...sort of. The pen button broke off, and the whole thing is laggy and slow. Incidentally, I wanted a new one. I'm trying to decide between another Bamboo or this. Does anyone know how well the inkling works?

Edit: Nevermind. I'm kind of over the Inkling. It seems like transfering and uploading would be more work than is necessary...

All done! The hair could still use some work, but whatevs. :] I'm pretty happy with what I got. I've spent about 4 or 5 hours on this and I think it's one of my best hair draw attempts ever, if not the best one. I feel really good about the makeup, too because I used Bliss' tut and some of my own knowledge. I didn't add a background yet, but I don't think I want to. I might end up adding one anyways if those annoying random blurry colors show up on here. But, I'm happy with what I have. :]

Hey guys, it's me George. Remember me? :P Been gone for so long, my simming laptop is broken for nearly a year and I won't be able to fix unless I get a new one. Anyway, I found some old screenshots I took and I thought I'd put together a new edit.



Here's the original:

lovely difference, but the hair needs some more texture

dylsoccer12

Great job George, but I'm with Jake, it needs to sparkle.
