What do you think of him?

I haven't really created any share-worthy sims in a while, and I haven't created a decent male in twice as long. So I'm working on this guy right now, but something feels a bit... off to me. :? Do you have any suggestions/comments/etc?

    I've spent a couple minutes looking at him just so I could come up with some constructive criticism but I honestly can't think of any. I love what you've done with him. Very unique with a lot of personality to his features. I'd put him in my sim world in a heartbeat. My guys get very repetitive. I don't have a lot of skill in CAS and I tend to continually do the "pretty" male faces with perfect features. Looking at yours, I can see myself lowering the mouth just a tad on my way to making him just like my boring males, but if I did that, somebody should smack my CAS trigger finger lol. I like your sim very much :-)

    Haha I know what you mean about making sims all the same. xD My first instinct is to go with a guy that looks like this:

    But I'm trying to get away from that. :XD: I'm glad you like him, though! I guess because he isn't what I normally do, that's why he seems off to me, but not necessarily in a bad way. Just... different. :XD:

    I think he looks great but I'm not certain that is the right hairstyle for him, personally I would have thought something with a bit less "body"

    ^Agree with the body about a bit. Have you done his clothes yet? Sometimes I usually don't think a sim feels right without their clothes. xD

    Yeah, I'm not sure about the hair, either. It was the only one that was easiest to see his face with. :lol: However, I've just gone through all my male hairs, and none of them look right with his face. :( This one's the most decent-looking one; they all make him look weird. :?

    ^This is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe try a shorter hairstyle?

    Haha I was actually working on that right now! ^_^ Although I have very few clothing for males, so he'll probably end up looking the same as all my other guys, at least in that department. :lol: This is what I have for his everyday wear:

    @ilikeskittles - Hah, thanks. :XD: Most of the time my male sims turn out uuuugly. :( Occasionally I can make a decent one, but not lately. Brain block, I think.

    @venusflytrap - Thanks! Love your avi, btw! Almost didn't recognize you, since it's changed since I last saw your post. :XD:

    Does anyone have any last minute comments before I do some modeling and upload him?

    *heart pounds* I...like him a lot!! I couldn't stop myself from staring at him and focusing on his eyes! *lol* He has a nice kind of mysterious yet handsome stare. :mrgreen: I would looove to see some more stylish CC clothes on him, maybe experiment on that? :D You don't need to follow my comment, but just seeing him i could think of all these nice outfits he could wear to match his gorgeous face and hair..x) I'm just really into details and matching (~sorry) He has a model-like face and body structure, but with the current outfits...it doesn't do it for him. :3 That's just me!

    Haha thanks! ^_^' Do you have any links to suggested clothing? 'Cause I have a very limited amount of male CC, and most of it is for bad boys. :XD: I'm very attracted to the bad boys... :oops: :XD:

    Oh, so, like... sweaters and things? :XD: Is it just the everyday wear you think I should adjust, or all of it? XD (I suck at dressing guys, in case you couldn't tell. :lol: )

    Hmmm...yeah kinda. :) It's just an idea! Sweaters or tops that are kicked up a notch and little more stylish than normal. If you want simular pants, and shoes like in the picture, just browse through that website (myos I think?). (Lol don't worry! It's not the easiest thing to find good male clothes...I actually looked through soo many websites and I don't like 99% of the guywear clothes and only 1% that I like and would make my sims wear XD I'm extremely picky, that's also a problem I have..just ignore it =P) For the outfits, I don't really mind...i just think the causual outfit is the most important because that's what they wear during most of the day.

    Yeah, I downloaded quite a few tops from Myos' website, they were a lot more preppy than anything I have in game (if I want preppy I usually rely on EA's clothing *shudders*). :XD: All right, well, I'll install this stuff in my game and then boot it up and see what we can do with him. ;) Might take like 15/20, though, my computer's got so much cc on it. xD
