CC project: subtle sideburns

[strangetomato]

After thinking about Ripp's sideburns some more, and some fruitless searching, I decided to try my hand at alpha editing.






Everything is clearly labeled, to avoid confusion.




1. No sideburns

2. My alpha-edited subtle sideburns - I can only figure out how to make them in black. Does anyone know how to toggle the colour in BodyShop?

3. My sideburns, again. Shown in black, to illustrate how they would look if they matched up.

4. Maxis sideburns

5. Tyler's sideburns (from GoS)

6. Fanseelamb's pointy sideburns (included with the Rufus Wainwright sim)


So what do you think? They achieve the effect I want them too (less stylized, and more natural than the other options), but I don't know how to make them brown. I'm sure there's an easy answer that I'm somehow missing. Anyone?

Also, what could be sexier than Ripp?

Answer: Six Ripps.

You know it. ;) I'm a bitch like that.

Oooh, I'd probably like most any Raon hair you do. I'm really into them. There's a wavy one I'd LOVE to see recoloured, but I bet it would be difficult, since you'd need the highlights in the right places (or so I assume).

He does! (I actually posted a secret about him, but I don't know what happened! D: )

I love it. He's precious. That's from when he came out at the wedding, right?

(Also, I have some things I've been DYING to talk to you about. I should send you a PM so we don't ~spam LJ~ ;) )

I am sorry for your lots, I should have known.

Really? I have a list! (but I have like nine things I have to do first.)

Which one is it?

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, AWESOME. I-I do not know what I am feeling, but I actually think Ripp looks - dare I say - HOT. :O

I think this is the first time I have ever admitted physical attraction to Ripp? WOW.

Seriously, they look wicked awesome. I hope you figure out the color thing. *crosses fingers*

Really? Is there an anti-Frances conspiracy? Maybe your post didn't go through.

Yeah, it's from when he cringes and says, "Welcome to the Worthington family." Poor Franny.

Listen, don't worry about "spamming" my journal. I don't know why people get so uptight about their damn lj ettiquette. If I needed that sort of thing in my life, I'd read Mrs. Manners.

That said, feel free to PM me. We can be ~secretive~.

It's Hair 40. I love it. I used to use it (with the Raon textures) on Lilith in an early version of Pleasantview. She looks awesome in that hair.

A list? Wow. I've been hoping someone would retexture more Raon hair, so this is very good news. :D

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I don't think it did, to be completely honest.

*nods* I read the chapter like seven times, poor thing. I love him so much. I love that he came out at the wedding, as crazy as that is. ^__^

I was kidding, ST. I like having long, crazy discussions, and I do it in my own journal as well. I don't like people who try to dictate how other people run their LJs. *eyeroll*

:D

Two and three are the same, actually. They just have different hair colours. I'm glad you like it. :) Alpha editing is pretty cool for things like this.

Hmmm, that might work, but I can't access blond either. I hope I'm not just being really dense (though I wouldn't be surprised).

Yeah, it would be hard to get to brown from black. Why could it be blond?

I need to figure this out. *ponders*

Welcome to the club. I live here. :P

So he's not real... *shrugs* I can still think he's sexy, right?

The extra side detail does increase his sex appeal, I agree. Also, the abrupt end at the ear is a little odd now that I've seen a more natural version.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that hair.

It's not on my list though. xD

Yes, there are like seven hairs on there, including some of the older ones. She has a lot of great hairs.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Maxis sideburns are a little exaggerated, like most of the facial hairs. They're good for characters (mustache, anyone?). I liked the 'burns on Frances, but I prefer the wispier version with the "gelled rock" hair that he uses now.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Gosh, we totally need to have a slumber party sometime. With jammies and ice cream and junk like that.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I think it's for both of us, I CANNOT access any other color except the black for facial hair.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Is it too difficult for the list? Can we work out a deal? Want my firstborn child? Phi's firstborn child? ;)

Which numbers? I need to know.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I am not sure how to feel about this new found attraction to Ripp. I feel as if I have betrayed something sacred.

What's 'real' anyway, right?

I definitely love the newer version - it really suits the hair and Ripp most of all.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

D:

Not Phi's firstborn! I love that baby! I am it's maybe-father after all. *preens*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*boo* *hiss*

Well, I'm a little relieved to know it's not just me, but that's not very useful, is it? I wonder if anyone has addressed this issue in a tutorial or discussion somewhere. I did a quick search earlier, but maybe I need to take another look around.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You need to get in line. This hypothetical kid has lots of potential fathers now.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I know, right? We need to meet up soon. I need to win the lottery, STAT.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

LOL, I just skiped right over it. I haven't even gotten to 40 yet, there are so many I want.

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE BELONG TO ME. (And Phi's too!)

17,22, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36. That's where I left off before her website got fresh.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I know, it sucks. I'm definitely going to search for you, this is srs bsns.

Hey, I'm going to have a couple of months for travel this summer. If we don't go to Iceland, maybe we'll take a little roadtrip southward. I've always wanted to head down to New Orleans. Or see the desert. I can't get my head around deserts at all. It's so damp here.
