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).

I want that shirt. What does it say? I'm still faily at reading simlish.

Also, that's an awesome painting.

*eagerly awaits next chapter*

I could share it. I'd need to make a "good" version, though. This one was a rush job.

It says, "Real men wear pink."

I've seen a couple of guys wearing that slogan before, which brings me to believe that they're a little more advanced than other guys.

Haha, that's brilliant. <3

I considered some others, like, "I can't even think straight," but that one seemed like the best choice. It fits with his devil-may-care approach to life.

The 'real men wear pink' is in pretty common use for breast cancer charity, although I believe I've also seen it in less serious context too.

Yeah, I saw a couple of breast cancer examples when I searched it, but the last one I saw in real life was not connected to that. It was just the text, and being worn by one of the groomsmen at my cousin's wedding.

Real men *do* wear pink. Because real men don't separate the laundry properly, and manage to get that one red sock in the load with the whites.

On further examination, that shirt is awesome.
