And yup, I use dodge and burn (in gimp) with brushes that look "rough" and "grainy" to mimic skin, ie. light doesn't reflect smoothly on skin bc of pores, imperfections, bumps etc. So I try to recreate that effect with grainy highlights and shadows (more so on the highlights)
Yo but that's like amazing,look effortless but you put a lot of work in it!
Also thanks for the grainy tip, I might try that on something fufufu~ I know that this sort of technique was really popular back in the S2 days, so I wonder if it's going to be popular here too.

@Kelebek Aww, thank you! Yeah, it's a painfully long process lol
@gramatique Thank you! I definitely will join a contest soon! And yep, the grainy / skin-like look was used by some of the editors in the Sims 2 days. I think it eventually transitioned to a bunch of people leaving the community to expand into other 3D graphics (Second Life, Daz, Poser) or become graphics artist (simultaneous with the development of, what is now, simmerizing, photo-simming and faceplastering). For example, one of the best Sims 2 sim creators from back in the day (Jirka), is now apparently a pretty famous graphic artist (not sure if you guys have seen the "Real Life Disney" series, which re imagines Disney characters as real life renditions, but it's is by him - it's wonderful btw)
Thank you so much everyone! I'm really excited you guys like it - I used to love sharing my edits and entering comps (and even hosting comps). It's been a while hahaha

@peppergirl84 Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't have tutorial videos, but I'm not opposed to creating them (but they do take a lot of time to create). I do have 100MB Gimp files with like 50 layers though lol. It takes about 5-6hrs straight to create that kind of edit + several days of tweaks

And, if you use Gimp, there are some HERE
Several of the ones for IMVU will work similarly for simming. (The tools/process is essentially the same to learn.)

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Ugh but I have so much side stuff to do though. xD
BUT SCHOOL IS DONE FOR LIKE 3 WEEKS! *parties*
Now to get organized and start my massive to-do list. But I'll officially do it tomorrow. I'm so tired. ;-;
I'm gonna start back in uni soon. I'm thinking April, because March has the 1-week spring break, and ugh. I don't want to have to do an entire CD re-design in 3 weeks. I mean I guess I could... maybe I'll just start whenever they'll let me? I mean I'm gonna die either way so.
I'm somewhere between
I never really know a killer from a savior
I am a big fan of Art in any form! I do in RL, I guess what some call "Traditional Art" but also love "Digital Art" too.
