Sims talk: Art references

[strangetomato]

Have you seen the new set of artworks based on the work of Alfons Mucha from the Art Nouveaulicious collection at the Sims 2 Store? It's called Female Form Over Four Seasons by Moocha (yes, very clever, EAxis), and they're quite lovely.








I'm getting a very Angela Pleasant vibe from one of these girls. ;)

Nice paintings, though, don't you think? I've always been a fan of the strong line drawing in Mucha's style.

So pretty! I have a giant Mucha print hanging over my couch in real life.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty! And I also see Angela Pleasant in there, lol!

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I love them. I did see Angela there, which rocked. I love me some Pleasant references.

I was trying to figure out who the other girls were, but I couldn't. *shrugs*

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I was too! I think the third one might be Bella (because she shows up everywhere) but the first and fourth one stump me. The fourth one *might* be Nina (Dina?) Calliente (the one with the straight blond hair) but I dunno. Doesn't she have darker skin than that? No idea on the first one at all.

They are so pretty though!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nah, Bella has black hair, so that doesn't work. If anything, I'd compare her to Bottom, but I don't think they resemble anyone from the game.

The Angela seems obvious, though. That's the only one that has real hair from the ganme in it too.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's Dina, she is darker than that.

I was also thinking Bella, but then I thought Bottom too.

Maybe Jennifer Burb? She's got black hair too, but hers *is* wavy/curly.

I hadn't noticed that! Those paintings are so pretty, and I like that "Easter Egg" with Angela Pleasant in the middle :).

Oh those are nice.

Incidentally, I have been trying to get to MATY to see these new sims 2 store items for several days, but the site does not open for me. Is there something wrong with the site or is it just me?

[catladymeow.livejournal.com]

I think there is something wrong with the site. I have not been able to get there for the past few days either. It just starts to load and goes nowhere. It's a shame because there's a lot of stuff there I would love to get and a lot of stuff I have already gotten. Just keep trying tho, eventually you will be able to get in. That's what I do.

Awesome, thanks for pointing it out! I love how it looks Mucha, but still sim-y.

The store has been funny: there are definitely some gems, along with some real stinkers.

[orikes13.livejournal.com]

Oh, those are lovely. I now need to go make sure they're showing up in my game. Do you know about how much they cost off the top of your head? I'm always struggling to find things in my deco catalog. :}

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

These should be on the last page of the wall hangings. They're one of the more expensive items. That makes sense too, because even just those ornate frames would cost a lot of money, I'll bet.

[javabean-dreams.livejournal.com]

*flails* Holy crap I love them! I adore Alphonse's (why yes, we are on a first name basis) work. And Angela is an awesome addition to the set. YAY FOR MAXIS! You dun good.

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

It could be Lilith ;)

I've been struggling trying to identify the other girls, but I guess they're probably not actually Maxis premades. Or something.

I love it when they actually do put an effort in to make things in the proper style - the game actually has a lot of good stuff!

I'm trying to think whose house would be best decorated with them, especially as I can't get them to look right in a room. You need all four but then that seems like overkill. :(

[catladymeow.livejournal.com]

These are really great! I am gonna have to get them! (but not from the store of course!)

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Funny that this would come up today. I haven't been to the store in months, but my husband and I were looking at Mucha's artwork today. We were thinking about buying a print for our walls. This is a terrific homage to Mucha.

I don't play the pre-made sims much, but the first thing that came to mind when I saw the first two was Lucy Burb and Angela Pleasant... The third one seems a little familiar but I can't place it. My first thought was Bella, but she has black hair, so I'm not sure.

The second makes me want to play the Pleasant family... In fact, I'm going to start up the game now :D

[nessa-seragon.livejournal.com]

Those are beautiful.

[hannahspring.livejournal.com]

I really didn't notice these! Awesome! And it definitely IS Angela!

[dgjamie.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful. I'll have to use them. I actually have a very similar poster to the green one in my bedroom back home.

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

Wow. I also suspected Lucy Burb in a different light that we are accustomed to (or at least I am) in the first one. Maybe i am so use to seeing Lucy as the girl next door, the best friend that to suspect anything in her personality hinting at a much more mature and sexy Lucy like Bella Goth Or the Caliente Sisters, who just breathe seduction is what throws us off from definitely identifying Lucy in the Art.

I really like those! Their in the sim shop you say? hmmmmm, I'm not keen on their shop thing but their sooooo pretty!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You can get all the Sims 2 Store stuff here at MATY:

MATY just doesn't want to load for me tonight. I'll try again tomorrow.

thankyouthankyouthankyou!

If they were all supposed to be (based on) TS2 premades, I'd say they're Lucy Burb, Angela Pleasant, Jennifer Burb, and Jenny Smith from left to right.

But if it's named "four seasons", maybe it's sims from all four games?
