Lots and lots of lips...

[strangetomato]

So... I made a lot of lips. A whole lot. Do you think I got carried away?

Yeah, that's right. I made eighteen of them. There are six greens, six purples, three blues, one gold, one red, and one hot pink. I made these thumbnails too. I want to take some nice screenshots to include with the download post and do it up all nice, but other than that, they're ready to go.

One question: does anyone know how people take nice CAS shots where all the lips are the same, all the eyes are opened, etc.? My sims move around too much in CAS and Bodyshop is too dark and small for good preview pics. How do people do it?

I'm keen to see these on non-aliens, too.

I can include some preview shots on the normals too, if you like.

That would be fa-bu-lous.

Your wish is my command.

I'm sure they'll work just fine. The lips use an alpha by Bruno that fades out as you get to the edge, which is why the purple lipstick had that effect that you commented on in the last post (it wasn't as noticeable on the greens because there was nothing to contrast with).

Sweet. Some will look really nice on darker vs lighter skins. (I love that faded/mixed look)

The darker ones will look better on darker skins, most likely.

And that's really getting me to thinking about the possibility of having a darker alien skin. It could be mint green like the Maxis version, but darker.

Of course, I'm happy enough with just the pale mint, but it'd be nice for variety.

Like an alien skin with a tan?

What I still long for (yet not enough to figure out how to do it myself, I R lazy) is green freckles on the normal skin tones.
