Back to Basics

April 8th, 2010

Basic Brown (2 of 7)

These are the last pictures of Emily with this face-up. She's currently away at the "spa" getting a new look. So, Edmond is once again without his love. ;)

Anyway, the rest of Emily's pictures are at Half-Imagined.

In Sims news, I've been organizing my Sims downloads (deleting some old stuff, downloading new stuff, backing up folders, etc.) in preparation to start taking pictures for the next chapter. I'm a little ashamed to admit that the pictures I took for Gayl's birthday was the first time I'd loaded Sims 2 since last spring (about a year ago!). I need to refresh myself on how to do everything.

I also have to say, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of pose boxes that are available now. :? I never thought I'd complain about having too many poses to choose from, but I am. haha I now feel like the perfect pose for each picture is out there somewhere if you have the patience to hunt through hundreds of pose boxes. I am aware of the Sims 2 Pose Box Catalog, and that makes hunting for the right pose a little easier, but still…me = overwhelmed. I'm going to have to get a firm grip on my perfectionism and not spend too much time setting up poses for each picture, or I'm likely to drive myself mad.

    Sorry, I'm really slow today. :x
    I was real achey this morning and spent all morning watching re-runs of Seinfeld :( .

    I love Emily's look in this update by the way :-) . The curly do looks very good on her :P .

    I adore Emily with that curly hair! It is gorgeous! Took a look at the photo shoot over at Half-Imagined and the shots are as always spectacular. I am really looking forward to a new photo shoot when you get her back!

    @Stephanie: Well, I'm trying to get geared up to start work on my story again. So, yes, since I will only do my stories in Sims 2, I'm organizing my downloads and such.

    And, thank you! That wig wasn't originally for her, but I tried it on her one day and really loved how it looked on her.

    @Gayl: Thank you so much! I took the photos as practice to work on getting more comfortable taking pictures of her. But, I was surprised and pleased at how well they came out.

    I can't wait until I get to see her new face-up. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. :D

    yes! I'm so happy you'll be writing more stories soon. Are we getting some more of The Monster and the Maiden story or an actual Worlds Apart chapter? Either way, I'm pumped.

    Again, she is wonderously beautiful!

    The pose boxes…yeah. Hundreds and hundreds. I started taking shots and saving them for the boxes I use most frequently. So many of the poses are almost identical, and it's hard to remember that one perfect pose you thought you found. Which may not look so perfect once you actually recreate it.

    Whatever you do, it will be fantastic! Always looking forward to more!
