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.

I like number two. Maybe three.

With the color toggle thing, I usually start out with blond and go on from there since it's ~easier~ to recolor it.

Maybe you can try giving it a screen layer to make it lighter? That might make it weird and contrasty though. :\

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*
