Calling all sim photographers!

[strangetomato]

Hey again! Can you tell I have the day off? ;)

I'm working on a project for my Advent calendar, and I'd like to request some participation from the simming community. I'm looking for photos of Bella Goth in a portrait style (both thematically and in the sense that they're more vertical than horizontal). I don't want to say anything more, but I'm looking for a variety of them, preferrably in her iconic Maxis look (but the style can be varied and updated, with any cc you like). Your work will be included in the download (with full credit, of course).

Anyone up for a photoshoot? You can post your creations in the comments.

Update: To help you, here is a download for Pleasantview Bella. I believe Strangetown Bella is an unaltered Face One (please correct me if I'm wrong), so she shouldn't be too hard to recreate. I'll also add a download link for her here, if one surfaces.

I'm in! ^_^

Oh wait.. I need to download her first.. *Runs into Game*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Great! I'm excited. ^_^

I've posted a link to an extracted Pleasantview Bella, if that helps. (She's my favourite, as far as looks go, but I'm open to either version.)

[petchy-14.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
I think she's more than DF1.. I'm pretty sure of it, she has a genetic tree after all :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by genetic tree, and how does that indicate that she'd been altered by Maxis? I like to know these things...

I always thought the townie Bella was a template face like the rest of the townies, but I've been known to be wrong before. :P (Just once or twice, though. Heheh.)

[petchy-14.livejournal.com]

Yea, She has a unique Face structure! Just test for yourself, Go into Bodyshop and you'll see ^_^

*Is totally in Bodyshop Now*
LOL

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well you learn something new every day. I thought they went the completely lazy route with Strangetown Bella, since they didn't bother to make her match her Pleasantview conterpart.

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing your pics.

Hope this is want you want! :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Thanks very much what I want. ^_^

Are you okay with me croping the images for my purposes? They'll working better that way. I'll include a copy of your intact original work in my post as well.

[w-sims.livejournal.com]

That's fine... they are old pictures I just had so crop away! No need to worry about the originals, you don't have to!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I think I will show the original work, just so people who download it can view the original. It seems only fair.

Thank so much for sharing these! ^_^

[w-sims.livejournal.com]

I think I can guess what your project is!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to guess. ;)

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love photshoots! :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Hoorah! :D

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Oh, but first I need to know something before I mess up :D

Does she have to be an adult in all her pictures? And does she need to be alone?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

She doesn't have to be an adult, and she doesn't have to be alone, but keep in mind that it will be hard to fit two people into a portrait layout, so be careful with that one.

Basically, anything you do, I'll try to make it work, but keep in mind the format contraints, which is portrait style, like the canvases on the default easel in the game.

[smjosh1218.livejournal.com]

I'll totally do this for you bb! I already have Bella extracted, so it'll be easy to set her up in my test hood and take a few pictures of her.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That's great! Thanks, Josh! I look forward to seeing what you do with her.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll need some sort of theme, right? Oh my goodness. *runs into BS*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Do whatever you want with her, just make sure she's Bella-fabulous, okay? ;)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

ALWAYS.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I am pleased.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I just finished taking them, and I have a question- do you want the originals or the cropped ones? My screen size is gigantic (1400x900) so IDK which ones I should give you.

Also, I don't even know what happened, they're a mess. I can spare you the trouble of telling me that they're uninspired, boring and ugly. D:

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I can take the originals or a cropped version. It's your choice.

I'm sure they're fine. :)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I decided to give you the originals, do with them what you will soul!

Also, they're pngs, sorry about that! I use GIMP, and the compression is alright but it's not that great. I usually edit them then convert them to .jpegs so that they're not as huge.

Again, sorry that they suck!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Josh! Those are great. ^_^ I will hear no more talk of suckitude. No more, I say!

[remisims.livejournal.com]

If you're still looking for pictures :)

I hope the quality is okay.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's great, and in the classic style, so I'm very happy to have it in the mix.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

OK, here are mine :)

This my improved Sims 2 version of child Bella from the Sims 3. It is quite a bit different from the one I uploaded a while ago, because I found both a more appropriate hairstyle and a mesh that looks exactly like her dress (I only had to recolor it :) ).

I will do some pictures with adult Bella later ^^

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! These are wonderful. I look forward to seeing your adult version.

[goldpandaah.livejournal.com]

I tried some Bella shoots too.
The results:

They're a little bit dark, but I hope they're OK.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Awesome. ^_^ Thank you! I'm very excited with all these Bellas.

They don't see to be too dark, but do you mind if I lighten them a little in Photoshop if I need to? I wouldn't alter them too much.

[goldpandaah.livejournal.com]

No, I don't care. Alter them as much as you want.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Hi there. Just your average stalker/reader/creeper here.
I have photos if you want them.

Five of Bella and some silly ones of my Ripp. Hope they're alright.

[mae-o-nays.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you're still looking, but I took a couple of quick photos earlier...

download link for Pleasantview Bella is broken.

:(

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, so it is. I guess I'll have to upload my extracted version, just to be safe.

Pleasantview Bella

[junebug-13.livejournal.com]

I love Bella, I have a couple good shots if you still want/need them. :)
