Request: References - faces and outfits

[mrrakkonn]

Don't know if this is the 100% right thread to post this in, but it'll be probably be fine. Anyway some of you might know that I like to make sims. When I do so, I generally use a reference of some sort, such as pictures of someone's face, outfits and such. 

While I'm not necessarily in desperate need of more references, I figured I'd make this thread and see if people have some suggestions or such that I could use. Maybe it will help me create more varied sims than I currently am, who knows. Both faces and outfits are welcome (and bodies I guess, but bodies are much easier to do than faces anyway). 

 

For faces I generally require at least two images, one from the front, and one from the side, this is to get the features, such as the nose and such to look right, which I think is important. A 3/4 front (or whatever it's called) shot from the front is also useful, to get the cheeks right. I'll demonstrate what I mean using some pictures of sims taken in CAS. 

As you can probably see from the above pictures, those three angles give you pretty much all you need for capturing the essentials of someone's face. While it is not 100% necessary that you provide those exact angles, it makes stuff alot simpler to have at least an approximation of them. So if you have access to a video of whoever you want to suggest as a reference that will probably make it easier as then you (or me, I guess, if I can access the video and the quality is decent) can grab screencaps of the different angles. A neutral facial expression is also useful, in order to make the work in CAS easier. I've generally made female sims, but I can make males as well, and I haven't made close to as many, so if you have something for me in that department it'd probably be welcome as well

 

So, that's faces. For outfits the guidelines are much more loose, there I can make do with a simple picture that just shows off a particular outfit or clothing style. I have alot of CC, and I've found I can often put together alot of different sort of styles using a variety of clothing and accessory options, I just need to use my imagination or have a kind of picture of what I want to do. So if you've got a picture of an outfit or a style or something that you think I might be able to use, I'd be happy to take it and see if I can make use of it

 

Lastly, I cannot guarantee that I'll make use of anything or everything that might be suggested to me, this is more me asking for some assistance than providing a service if that makes sense. I generally also think I fail at making direct copies of real people or characters from other media, but I always feel that working with reference pictures when starting a sim always makes for much more distinctive faces than just going in blind, so that's really why I like doing it this way and why I thought that maybe some of you might want to help if you have the time. 

 

Hope to see some replies and suggestions! And sorry if this was a bit long and full of stipulations ?
