Just Lips
October 19th, 2006
Bonus Pictures:
…plus a bit of useless trivia.
Julius is a vampire from ancient Rome. He is also, with a different skin, the first incarnation of Tahlvin. As you can tell, I completely redid Tahlvin, but I still like the "bone" structure of this sim.
Rann is an upcoming character in Worlds Apart. He has appeared in these pages before though…but I bet you don't recognize him. He appeared in a very different skin last time he was here. Also, he's had some plastic surgery since then so he really looks different.
Yet another upcoming character in my story, Arion is actually sporting the new hairstyle that I picked out for his son. Arion's natural haircolor is white (unless I decided on something else before he next appears). Oh, by the way, can you guess who his son is? Hint: His son has the same eyes.
I'm sure Alec needs no introduction. I'm still undecided on a hairstyle for him though. I think I've narrowed it down to this one, but perhaps another will come along. What do you think of this style? Truthfully!
Does this model look at all familiar to you? Well, if you ever wondered what Tahlvin would look like as a human then meet Rogelio—Tahlvin's human alter ego. Of course I'm not biased or anything, but I think he looks almost as sexy as a human as an elf.
You probably don't recognize this model either but he has also appeared in these pages before as Brandee's dad, Allan Taylor. Who knew her dad was so hot? Anyway, with a hair and skin change Allan becomes Macai. I'm definitely going to have to find a place for this character in the story.
The name "Macai" also has a special place in my heart as it is the name of my husband's old Jedi/Zabrak character from SWG.
Alfonse is a young vampire from Germany. I whipped up Alfonse in CAS right before the photoshoot. I actually hate creating characters in CAS as I don't have quite as much control over their look as I do in Body Shop. However, I was pleasantly surprised as to how he turned out. Which reminds me…I need to extract him from the game so I can import him into Body Shop.

Just saw them over there and downloaded them. These are so nice! Thanks, Kara.

The lip colours are boo-tiful, Kara! I'll definately be using these babies! 😉 Thanks ever so!
Is Arion's son Hale? Because *flips back* their eye-colours look pretty darn similar…practically the same, in fact.
And Alec's hair is gorgeous (but Alec IS one of my fave's at the moment!). 🙂 All the lads are excellent, well done!

E.Black: You're very welcome! I'm really glad you like them and hope you find them useful. 🙂
Amalinaball: Yes! *claps* Arion is Hale's father! Good job!
Hale inherited his father's eyes. Oh…and Alec thanks you for the compliment. 😉

The lips look amazing! They look so real, and kissable! Hehe, all those new guys are super hot! I just don't know how you can create such handsome and realistic looking sims! I'm so jealous!!

wow, Kara! these are great! even the shades are just light enough for women who just want a little bit of color. they will show up for women, too, right? 🙂

Mandie: Thank you so much! And my guys thank you as well. They are going to be incorrigible after all these compliments. 😉
Daysies: Thanks, Kathy! Of course these will show up for women and they will show up for all ages as well.

These are very nice, I love them in my game.
You did such a great job on them.
Thank you 😀

Thank God for the lip colors…I've been having so much trouble makin my guys look masculine when their lips are HOT PINK! And speaking of "hot", I love your guys! So shmexy… 😉

cool!!!! how did you do this??? its so cool!!! did u make them??
October 21st, 2006 at 8:34 am
Well, if that Amalinaball wasn't so swift..i definately wouldn't have gotten who Arion's son was. Oh well, I like to act like I'm waaaayyy smarter than I actually am. But only on occasion. Which I guess is everyday. Ahem. Now on to the lips and the sims modeling them. Wow! Need I say more? I think not. But I will anyway. Have I ever seen any sexier sims….well…yeah..Tahlvin and Hale..mmmmh. Hey wait..Tahlvin and Hale aren't brothers? Obviously I learned nothing from reading Words Apart..and speaking of that wonderfulfantabulastic story, I can't wait until you feel inspired enough to spend hours writing and taking pictures just to entertain us. That's some labor right there. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Tabbs: Thank you very much! I'm relieved that they look good in your game. They look fine in mine but I'm always a little nervous that they'll look horrendous on another computer or monitor.
Kiwi said: "I've been having so much trouble makin my guys look masculine when their lips are HOT PINK!"
haha! I know what you mean! It's that exact reason that I made these. I like the makeup look on some men (especially smudgy eyeliner) but rarely do I like bright, shiny lipstick on them. And my guys thank you for the compliment.
Hannah: Yep, I made them in Photoshop. I used a photo of male lips that I found at a royalty free/free use site, added some texture and shading, and then recolored them to blend with the skintones. I also made the alpha.
Eva: hehe
And, yes, Tahlvin and Hale are brothers…they just have different fathers. 😯 So, don't worry, you're not going crazy or anything. 😉
Concerning Worlds Apart… I have a few projects I want to finish up first and then I plan on getting back to work on the story.

Kara, those lips are awesome! I always have trouble with my guys' lip color. Thanks so much for creating those and sharing them with us. Your talent and creativity are just amazing, and your Sims stories and pics have always been a huge inspiration to me. Best of luck with all of your upcoming projects!
October 22nd, 2006 at 7:45 pm
These are wonderful! Thank you for making them because I feel the lips needed revamping for that natural look! Thanks ASK! XXXXXOOOOO
October 23rd, 2006 at 3:26 pm
Thank you, Kara! I snagged your kissables at the InSim forum. :3 (*fans herself*)Your boys are amazing as always but the picture of Macai? Oh my, he has a look of pure magic that makes him positively delicious! *^_^*
October 25th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
Kitty, you and I are on the same wave length. Macai, Macai, Macai…. Mmm mmm mmmm… The look in those eyes… Ooooh child!
Of course, Hale practically owns my heart. All he needs to do is smile and my loyalty is set in stone. lol.

I know this really isn't the place but my email isn't working…would you mind if I use the pics I drew of Tahlvin and Brandie on my future DeviantArt account? I'm not sure if you have any "copyrights" concerning them, but I would (of course) have a link to Worlds Apart on the page and give you credit for creating them. Just wondering…thank you!

Hi
Luv ya sweetie
October 31st, 2006 at 8:44 pm
Kiwi: I don't mind at all if you use them. I do own the copyrights to Tahlvin and Brandee, but you're allowed to make fan art as long as you aren't making money from it…I think. I need to brush up on copyright law, but I'm sure you can post them. Take care and let me know when your DeviantArt site is up. I'd love to see it. 🙂

Wow! I love these lips! I use them a lot on my sims when Iim creating my stories; they are just perfect! Thank you so much for creating them!

I've become seriously obsessed with Avion. I desperately want him in my game. I'd even pay you for him. Please! ::sobs::
November 10th, 2006 at 10:32 am
Azrielle: Aw! Thank you! Avion is most flattered. 🙂 Unfortunately, I don't offer any of my guys for download as they are all characters in my story. However, I have made one sim exclusively for download. If you're interested then feel free to check him out.
November 11th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
Okay, just thought I'd ask anyway because he looks so sad, I just want to cuddle him. I pasted him on my desktop too. Yes I am that obsessed. I tried for the last couple days to make a Sim as beautiful in Bodyshop but they just aren't as perfect. I hope he shows up in your story … alot … naked. Just kidding. Or am I? 😉
November 13th, 2006 at 2:12 am
Very nice pictures indeed!! XD I also left a comment at Insim for you which I don't want to repeat here *blushes* But I really like the sims boys.
November 16th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
Sorry for all the posting but I just had to ask, what eye makeup is Arion wearing? I am still trying desperately to make my own Sim of him. He is so lovely. (Avion, Arion! So sorry for mispelling his name before! *sheepishly begs forgiveness*)
November 16th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
Azrielle:Oh, don't worry about mispelling Arion's name, Azrielle. The "r" in the font that I used in the pictures looks like a "v" to me so I can totally understand the confusion. 🙂 As for the eyeshadow he's wearing, I'm almost certain I got it from Serasims (I don't have Body Shop open right now so I can't confirm) but I can't seem to find it there now. Perhaps you could contact Sera (she has a contact form on her site) and see if she can send it or repost it for you? I would send it myself, but I'm not sure what her policy is on file-sharing.
November 17th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Thank you! I think I found a suitable one there, strange that I didn't see it before. Here's a picture of what I have made so far. He's no Arion, but I think he's pretty cute. I named him Harlen. Yeah, I'm still pretty obsessed with Arion though. I just LOVE him. It's unnatural. Sorry for the raving. I'll shut up now and go away for a while!
November 18th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Azrielle: Harlen is so cute! He definitely looks like he could be related to Arion. Since the photoshoot for this post, Arion has undergone a makeover hand now has long white hair! 🙂

Love those lips!! They are sooooo cute (the boys I mean.) How do you get your sims to look realistic? I can't do it in my game. I'm going to start downloading right now!!!
November 25th, 2006 at 11:48 am
Nice lips. They're so nice

"How do you get your sims to look realistic?"
Well, it's definitely thanks to the talented creators who make the custom content I use so I'm not sure I can take all the credit. 🙂 Enjoy the lips!
