Teaser 02
April 13th, 2006

Another teaser! I had a lot of fun with this one. Anyway, it's the same guy as before but his face isn't as obscured plus I've introduced a new character. Don't worry…you'll be able to see their full faces soon.
Actually…
Would you like to see them now?
I had considered not showing you the full characters until the story started. I was afraid it would spoil something. But, we see movie characters all the time in trailers long before we ever see the actual movie. Right? And, possibly seeing the full characters will get you even more interested in their story (e.g. "Who is he/she? What is their relationship with each other?"). (You are getting a small glimpse into how my mind works things through…scary, isn't it?) So then, what am I waiting for? Why don't I take you behind the scenes of this photo shoot and show you some pictures that didn't get used. Just turn the page and let's get started.
Or, if you would rather wait until the story starts to meet the characters…then stop reading here (you're a masochist…aren't you?).

I almost used this picture for the teaser. But I ended up liking the half-a-face layout better. Oh, and by the way, meet Tahlvin. He's very glad to make your acquaintance.
Next up…walking…

…walking…

…there were endless photos of Brandee walking back and forth and Tahlvin watching her. All those photos (most of which I deleted) were for another idea I had for this teaser, but decided on going in a different direction.
Some close-ups of Tahlvin—I think they speak for themselves:


And a close-up of Brandee:

Now for some outtakes:

"Okay, I'm not taking one more step. I think I wore a groove in the sidewalk."

"Damn, tight leather pants… What the hell? You're going to ruin me, woman!" Perhaps…but you look so sexy in them. Well, when you're not making that duck-face, that is…
I hope you enjoyed today's teaser. For the next update, expect a special surprise.

Your teaser pic literally took my breath away — it's utterly gorgeous, as are the character portraits behind the cut. 😀

I had to come back and look at your pictures again, just because (Well, Tahlvin, really. His mouth especially, it's so luscious!). And I hope you don't mind my asking where you downloaded their realistic lip color? It's the best I've seen!

Ephy: Ah, yes…Tahlvin… *swoon* 😉
I love that lip color too. It is from Rensim and is called "Black Ice." You can download it from the winter glosses collection.
The best thing about that lipcolor (as well as the others in that collection) is it looks terrific (if slightly different) on a wide variety of skin colors. It is slightly transparent to let the base lipcolor through so it truely acts like a gloss. These are some of my favorite lipcolors.
{Edited}: Rereading your post, it seemed you were asking about Brandee's lipcolor too. I just woke up so my reading comprehension is low. haha! Anyway, I got hers at The Sims Resource which seems to be down for me at the moment. I'll post a link to it later when it is working again.
{Edited Again}: Okay, I finally got into The Sims Resource. Brandee's lips are ChazDesigns' Lips Set 001.

Ephy: Not a problem at all. I'm glad I actually remembered exactly from where I downloaded the lipcolors. hehe And, hey, in the future I'll now have an excuse to ask you where you downloaded something. 😉
