Strangetown Extras: Jill Smith

This is just a little collection of images of Jill Smith. I was going to call it a photoshoot, but that makes it sound more exciting than it is. This is just to give a better idea of what Jill looks like to anyone who might be interested. *whistles innocently*

(Yeah, I'm up to something... but can you guess what it is?)



























Those last few were reference shots for Buck. He does like to paint Jill.

She's so pretty! Makes me want to draw her too. The dress she's wearing is perfect!
Speaking of drawings... I just posted one up which deals with a certain sexy hermaphrodite plant-like creature here. ;)

I really want to draw some of these sims too. Jill would be a good one to try, since she has a simple, pretty face with small features, and big distracting details, like her hair. (And thanks. I love that H&M dress, and it came in the perfect colours. You use that one on Stella in a different colour, don't you?)

Oh, how cool! :D I love this wave of people drawing characters from sim stories. Yours are very cool, and I love how you did those three different versions of her. I like that about sim stories too.

Yeah, her small features are why I want to take a stab at drawing her. Though I think her hair is lovely, I think it would be hell for me to draw (I despise drawing hair!) so I think it'll be good practice.
Yep! I use the pink and blue one for Stella. I just love those colors on her skin tone. Them and purple of course! Thank you! :)

I love drawing hair. It's noses and hands that are tricky for me (especially hands... and I'm not alone there, if you check out an art history book). It's a fun hairstyle to draw, since you can make it really wild looking, with all those pieces.

You're just like me. I love putting purple and pink on aliens because it's the complimentary colour for their skin (or just off, which is always nice too). I like dressing them up in green too, to match. You have to really think about the colour on those aliens. You don't want to clash with their pretty skin. :)

UGH, HANDS!!! I tend to avoid them altogether instead of actually PRACTICING to get better.
I don't know why, but I just don't like dressing alien sims up in green, with the exception of Bunker. I guess it has to be a certain shade of green to make it look right for me. Pale blue and black looks great on aliens too I think.

A human hand is just as hard, if not harder, to draw than a human face.

Yeah, it does have to be the right shade of green (usually the same shade as the skin or similar), but it can look really nice when it's right. Black is a good choice too, especially if they have the black hair/eyes combo. I also like red, on red haired sims (I have that on Chloe Curious right now).
