Welcome once again to another round of Timeless Beauties!
Being the sweethearts(are too!) that seren and I are, we decided with all the forum issues and contestants having computer problems, we wouldn't eliminate anyone from last round
So you can all fully enjoy/loathe this rounds year and theme....
For those who haven't seen the movie, this review in a minute should bring you up to speed.
Yes it's the time and the place for Grease! August, 1959 and your Calendar Girls have joined Rydell High. Time to start singing about your summer lovin, with the girls singing about romance (Like does he have a car?) and the boys exaggerating (I saved her life, she nearly drowned).
Now we're going to let you have complete free reign here. Your girls can be a pinup of one of the characters, replicate a scene(maybe an alternative?), just a student, anything you want! Just as long as your fashion/set keeps to the year, month and theme!
So, will your Calendar Girl be a keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers Sandy?
Or tart it up, with bye-morals-I-need-to-make-my-friends-and-boyfriend-like-me Sandy?
Maybe the Pink Ladies, Rizzo, Marty, Jan or Frenchy?
1950's Cheerleaders?
Greasing it up with the T-Birds Danny, Kenickie, Sonny, Doody and Putzie?
Fantasing in your silver jump suits that your crappy car will be a real um... kitty wagon?
Doing the Hand Jive? *snicker*
Whatever you choose, make sure it goes together like rama lama lama ka dinga da ding-dong! (yes, that is the lyric, I did not just make that up!)
Assignment 8
Theme: Grease
Year/Month: 1959, August.
What you'll be judged on
Did you keep to the Grease theme and 1950s fashion?
Is your Calendar Girl standing out from the crowd, or blending into the background?
Are the walls up or down? We'd prefer to see walls up, where they should be.
Are those pesky thought bubbles showing?
Are any extras in your picture behaving themselves?
RULES
1. Please be kind to each other, rudeness will not be tolerated.
2. No face plastering of any kind.
3. We will give extensions when needed, but to make it fair, we ask that you let us know TWO days before the due date, so others can take advantage of the extension. However, we will take into account things such as Patches and game issues ( we know you can not plan those issues)
4. No major changes to model once submitted, unless we allow for it in an assignment. The exception to this rule is CC skin, if skin is causing your game to have issues, I do not mind if you need to change it, just please try to keep it close to the original colour. I will also make exceptions on a case to case basis. ( I understand CC can go wonky) We request that eye colour stay the same, but if you need to remove CC eyes or contacts, that's fine.
5. Hair colour and make up can be changed at any time, it's up to you!
Scoring:
Scoring will be a 100 point process.

Comments: This so embodies everything I hoped this assignment could be. Your calendar girl is glowing and catches the attention just amazingly, even though there is so much going on in this pic. It's a moment in time pic which I love. I can just picture this being a newspaper article pic of women taking up tools to help the forces over seas! Fantastic!

Comments: The one thing that always jumps out at me and demands me to focus in every picture is her eyes. Which brings me directly to her old Hollywood look. Even here, she looks immaculately primped and poised. Great use of that pose btw! Love the added extras, they each have a satisfied expression that convey yes, they can do it. Truly what I would expect to find on a promotional poster for that year. Bravo.

Comments: Poida, Poida, Poida! Every time I look at this pic I burst out with giggles. Mate, I dunno what to say to you! I love that this is so creative and it's so so so funny. I keep laughing at the two in the background with the "What the heck?!" expressions. The factory set is fantastic and I so love this pic. I wish I could score you on how much I adore this pic, but sadly this is a calendar girl comp and our calendar girl is not looking well..very calendar girlish in this pic. But how could she with all this blood?! Really one of the most creative pics I've seen. Fantastic!

Comments: Once again, your Calendar Girl just can not take a bad photo! She is really something to look at. And this close up of her is just brilliantly fantastic. We're really getting to see her bone structer and those lips, so kissable! I love her look as well and that she can make that outfit look sexy is really something. I wish the set had a bit more ooomph in it. It looks a bit bland compaired to our model and it looks more like she is clearing the attic then working in a factory. But I do love this pic and your model is just gorgeous!

Comments: Love the subtleness of the year and month. I know she was going for tough but I just want to pinch her cheeks. She looks so cute and sweet but still carries a sensuality about her. Good use of the axe and the grates on the floor. Some chunks of wood would have made it a bit more believable that she was at a lumber factory. At the moment with the paintbrushes and barrels, well she could be anywhere really. Wonderful work Bliss.

Comments: Conceptually, this is a great pic. The editing is fantastic and I love the creativity behind this. Unfortunatly, there are a couple of things that let you down here. I like that you took the risk of moving her outside, but sadly, this looks more like a build site then an assembly line factory. Also, whilst you've done a fantastic job editing her into the fork lift, our Calendar Girl's Pose is a little off, she looks like she needs to use the restroom...quickly! but I do love where you were going with this and I think it's a good job!

Comments: You have the ability simsolated, to blend sims into different backgrounds so seamlessly! It's like it's from a different game. Astounding! Swell idea venturing outside(cute hard hat!) but it has the feel of a dig/mining site than the assembly line factory vibe we asked for.

Comments: This pic has all the right elements so, it has great potential. Sadly though it seems a little washed out and our Calender Girl does not seem to be enjoying the work force. I'd have love to see her in an action shot, with a bit of 'movement' in the pic. But over all, I think you have a good pic.

Comments: In game daylight lighting can be a cruel mistress. I know from a lot of experience! So I can sympathise with trying to get the right lighting angle here. Her face is too shadowed but the rest of her body stands out crystal clear. It's a tricky thing and can't be helped sometimes :? I've found just putting your model out first before building any sets and turning her around so you can get the right light to be less frustrating then moving all your sets around

Comments: I liked how you used the junk pile for this assignment, and it would have totally fit if you had your model actually digging in it, I don't like her pose, she is just standing there staring. The effect you had on the picture was good, but the blue writing didn't work for me, it stood out a little to much.

Comments: I liked your idea, it was creative and seperated your entry from the others, however I really didn't like the thought buble we get rid of them to make our entry better, I know you were trying to show her dreaming but there are otherways to do so, my attention was also drawn to the guy in bubble because your model was just sleeping.
Glad we could make your birthday even more special!!
I think I know what I want to do withthis.. just hope no one else does it xD

Hmm, I wonder if could portray Skye getting run over by that flying car?... not quite what you had in mind?
Hey hush, would you like to make a guest appearance in pandemonium? I'll give you full credits and everything (and your own personal Bill, since you've taken a shine to him)
Thought I'd ask since I'm here
And Hushy, I hope you agree. :twisted:
Cheese and rice poida! I wasn't expecting that! :shock: Yeah, sure, of course, go for it
Now, now, writers are entitled to their plot points seren
A pie? Pfft, I may turn you into a zombie, you can keep zombie poida company, and I think Seren should join us, she makes a great zombie...
Just bear in mind you may not be so keen when you find out what we have in mind... I'll be sure to email you in the not too distant future and let you know :twisted:
Hey today is my lucky day (pun intended it's St Pat's day!)! I finally got an email from the bank of Africa!
"In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 11.6 m US dollars (Eleven Million six hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2000 in Paris that almost took the whole life of the passenger’s on board.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learn`t that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim."
And they're offering it to me! I'm rich!
