Strangetown extras: The creation of Lyla Grunt

[strangetomato]

I decided that I wanted to actually show Lyla Grunt in the next Strangetown chapter, and since I'm not about to mess around with the one in Olive's cemetery, I created my own version in CAS. Also, judging from what I've seen with the ghost Lyla, she doesn't exactly measure up genetically, so I took some liberties. I created her from extracted versions of Ripp and Buck. Since Tank resembles Buzz so much, that seemed to make the most sense. I already mentioned that Ripp has her eyes, so I was sure to keep that accurate too. Anyway, I got so excited with the results, that I thought I'd give a little sneak peek.

Here's Lyla with toddler Buck. He's so cute I could eat him! (Isn't it scary when people talk about eating babies? Yet everyone does it!) I made my own nose for Lyla, but everything else came from Buck or Ripp, and mostly Buck, I think (all of her cheek, chin, and lip area is Buck's, and the eyebrows might be Ripp's. The boys all have pretty similar eyebrows anyway).

I think that Lyla turned out quite pretty. It bodes well for any future daughters that Ripp or Buck may have.




Awww. Ripp is Mom's boy, of course. Now that Lyla has a face, it's even sadder for me.




This one is just so you can see her from a frontal view.




And one more of lazy little Ripp, because I just love him! What a little punk. The first thing he did when I dropped him on the lot was rush to the television too. He's so predictable.

Oooh, I reckon she's mighty purrtey!

Does this mean an update is in the works?

Well, I like her. It makes me wonder that the hell Buzz was thinking when he lost interest. It's much better that she looks like she's actually related to the rest of them too, I think.

Oh, it's in the works, alright. If I wasn't working so much (at actual jobs), it would be coming a lot faster. I'm hoping for results in the next few days, and I also want to prepare a couple of Christmas extras to post over the holidays, while I'm out of town (since I'm going to be visiting the parental units, on the other side of the island, with no access to my sims).

Speaking of updates... *grin*... how's the asylum treating you?

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

...............yeah.

I'm working on the asylum update. I have about 70-ish pics so far, but the past updates have had at least 100, so I need to play a bit more. I think after the last mode update, I got a little simmed out, so I needed a break. I know I said Tuesday last time, but I really do hope to have it done sometime tomorrow.

Oh and.........there'll be some exciting news about.......well.......you know who......... *laughs maniacally*

Ahhh, bless. :) I was hoping for that, of course. I will be looking forward to it. Of course, if you want to do a shorter update, I have no problems with that either.
