Strangetown Extras: Worthington Portraits

I've been shooting some family portraits to make into painting recolours, so I thought I'd share one of the ones I've done so far. I think it came out pretty well.









They're standing in order of age, from back left to front right: Lillian, Edie, Charlotte, and Frances.

I like how easy it is to compare their genetics when they're side by side like this. As you can see, Edie's the only one who avoided their mother's non-chin.

I'm going to need a lot of these to decorate my new Worthington mansion, which I'll post about later (I'm really coveting Mansion and Garden stuff right now, but I'm supposed to wait for Santa to bring it). I'm doing some wedding portraits, and a couple of family group photos, and some baby stuff.

Yes, you do. It's super easy when you use the Photo Studio feature, as long as you can crop the image to size. You can probably even do that in Paint, so you don't need to teach yourself how to use an image editing program.

Oh, man. Those are great. And by great I mean terrible. Now I'm tempted to make some like that. Not for the Worthingtons, because I think they're a bit classier than that, but I could see it being funny for some of the others. (The Smiths or Curiouses, perhaps?)

Maybe I'll play with it while my new comp is down and out. It seems like it's fairly easy to do.

The Brokes would SO have those Owen Mills pics. Then Beau could compare his to Frances's. (though the Curiouses would be funny, too--a bowl cut wearing child Vid in that profile style pic *snerk*)

Yeah, why not? Take advantage of the down time for something positive.

Good call on the Brokes too, though part of me think they would have been too poor to be able to afford the school pictures at all (I knew people who couldn't buy them when I was in school).

*snort* I'm loving my mental image of a child (or teen!) Vidcund with a lame bowl cut. It would be so cute.

Well, I could use the down time to finally write up the second part of the latest Peculiar offering (which has been floundering for a bit). Eh, maybe I'll oogle the simPe thing first (procrasti. . .wha?)

Yeah, they could have been too poor but Brandi seems the type who would find a way to scrimp to get the cheesy school photos (and a nice shirt for each of the kids, since the shirt is all you're going to see in the pic).

Child Vid (no matter the hair do) is super cute.
