I'm trying to make Angel Smalls. I'm pretty happy so far, but would welcome any suggestions you have, guys (makeup, clothes etc.)

 

Hi, I suppose this is the character, for the moment you're wearing it pretty well, you have to touch up a bit, it's not that long, one of the tricks that I use when I'm doing a real character, is to look for several photographs of the character itself, front and profile, both in color and in black and white, the game is addressed in window mode, so I can have an image viewer open at the same time, as I go riding the character I take some captures and I make a superposition in the photoshop, to see where I have to modify.

But if you do not want more complications, leave the character like this, it's perfect and it looks very good, it's very good.

Great catches as always, although I miss Kitty, you kitty; I love the preset that you use for reshade, it's great, nuanced and soft colors, some day I'm setting it up?

Thanks and same to you too, I look forward to seeing how it turns out! 

The room looks almost from another game! Miss Kitty will be making an appearance again soon! I tried something out on her haircut but not quite happy so I'm working on reverting it back to the look I previously had ?

@R-Lo your photos are great. Would you mind if I made some posters for my sims with them? I need some mm-ish xxx decor for them

 

Here's some of mine:

Impressive captures, especially lighting and detail, do not look like sims, you use reshade, what preset?

The preset that I used to test it mount it for the honey select and I wanted to see how it was in the sims.

The truth is that I have different presets in the sims, maybe 7 or 8.

[LustyLocket2]

@Josua1970 Yes, I use reshade. I have my own preset that I've been meaning to upload somewhere but I need to take preview pics and I get sidetracked and  forget.

 

I really like the lighting in Sixam, though it's fairly dark. I really should brighten them in photoshop, but I can't be bothered to edit after I take a picture.

 

 

here's a couple others i like ❤️

Thank you Josua, very useful comments. In fact this is exactly how I'm doing it except for one thing - superpositions in gimp. I rather play the game for some time in window mode with some pics opened and observe how the girl looks in different situations (casual gameplay, poses, WW), also having in mind that facial expression is different in game than in CAS (good example are eyebrows - they go up in cartoony way, much higher than in real life).

 

I'm done with Angel after some final tweeks, but after your comment I'm tempted to try this method next time. So big thx for the idea!

Yeah that's also the same way I make my sims. Now I've kind of long since stopped trying to make accurate reproductions of real people, but my sims are always created with photos of a real person as reference and preferably with at least both front and profile shots (profile shots are very important for getting the nose and chin right). Typically I'll start out using one reference and either get something I like or stop and put a sim on the shelf for a while and revisit later, sometimes using someone different as a reference on top of the sim I started out earlier as a base, so several of my sims are kind of loosely created off 2 or 3 people as reference. 

Anyway, the tip is to always create sims using reference photos, it's actually pretty damn hard to get distinct looking faces if you don't do this. You'll end up with a bunch of sims who all kind of look the same and don't really have much personality to them if you do it completely without a reference of any kind. At least that's my experience (and looking at lots of sims in the gallery, it seems to be the case with alot of other people as well).

Exactly, although the most difficult thing is when you want to transport a character from another game like in my case Letica, I'm still fighting with my face and I think I've seen the right one and it's from one of your characters, the one from the blonde of the last captures .

If you want I could send her to you over PM, if I'm getting you right and her face is very similar to something you want for a character. Unless you want to complete that sim yourself, which I would totally understand.

I'll thank you, it's a character that I have in the HN and the face is practically perfect, it's just modifying eyebrows and hair.

Just a few pics from a practice shoot ?

Hehe?

That's right, the scenario I'm feeling for these two is that while being a young vampire, Lola is still trying to surpress her urges, but Kurumi is used to being a victim and is excited by the prospect of being the danger... 

While she is happy to be fed from, she feels that Lola should embrace her predatory instincts..

Retaking contact with two old friends, Comic Life and Photoshop Elements.
I leave some images that I had before and retouched, as well as Soledad, who will go between some chapters, as an introduction.

 

 

[Josua1970]

I am going to leave you the prologue of the story, a small memory of the past, as well as the pdf to download from my previous stories.

 

 

 

 

 

These are the pdf of the previous stories, I recommend that you read them if you do not know them, it's been a long time since I did the second one.

I apologize R-Lo for abusing your space, but I had to put the 2 pdf to do memori and not have to be searching among all the forum entries.

[R-Lo]

No apologies necessary at all @Josua1970 you have a special place here and we thank you for sharing your efforts with us too ?

Thank you for your words, I have to ask you a small favor, I have a pose to extract, in itself it's silly, but you know I'm useless with the Blender, it does not need much, it's just that I need the arms to be hanging down, since it's going to be for a drop-by-drop scene.

[Josua1970]

Normally I usually put an introductory text, here I leave what will be the intro of the comic.
I have many ideas and I have to order them a bit, so I apologize if there is something that is not understood, it has to take shape little by little.
From this page that I leave you I will give you a clue, small but important I am unintentionally revealing something essential in the story, look well, since it is not in the text, but it is a component of the first image.

He can never help himself, especially when Mia is trying to get a photoshoot done ?

 

A quick slip up of her dress and the moment shifts very rapidly.

[R-Lo]

This is how it turned out!

I've fixed the keyframe on the page that I missed and now I'm adding a couple of sounds ?
