Strangetown extras: Double dose of Beau spoilers

[strangetomato]

I've been picking away at the next update (Yeah momentum!), and I'm seriously tempted to run in here and show off every little thing before I post it. I'm not going to do that, but it's so tempting when there are cute sims doing ridiculous things. I am, however, going to share a couple of things I made in Photoshop for the chapter, both involving Beau. If you'd rather wait to see it in the chapter, just ignore this.






First, a tee for Beau:



This is the main reason I even made those shirts. The project was called "Beau's pink tee" in my project folder.

This is when he meets Tank. You can just imagine what Tank's thinking, right?

Then there's this little "masterpiece":




Lucy will be painting this in the art studio.

That would be Beau posing as St. Sebastian, for obvious symbolic reasons. (Anything longer than it is wide is a phallus in Art History, don't you know.)

Slightly religious for my sim world, but it's hard to conceive of an art class without some religious imagery. Take Renaissance art, for example. I've always loved saint imagery too, and I did a photo project based on it when I was in art school (like this, using friends as family posed as modern-day interpretations of iconic saints).

"(Anything longer than it is wide is a phallus in Art History, don't you know.)"

LOL! I'm actually an Art History Major and I very much know this to be true.

San Sebastiano is actually a popular form for pincushions in Italy as well, morbidly enough. Fun facts that I know.

Heheh. You know it. My prof was all about finding phallic symbols everywhere. It was like Where's Waldo. (Where's Willy?)

I find that to be an awesome fact, and I didn't know it. Now I want a pincushion like that. I love when really brutal things become commonplace like that. After a while, eveyone is pretty immune to it.
