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.

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

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.

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.

D:

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

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

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

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.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Those are great. I really love 22 and 35. And 36 is another nice one with waves. I've always liked 5 a whole lot too. And 2.

Her website gets irrate with me all the time. She gets a lot of traffic there.

Funny thing is, I don't like Raon's male hair all that much. She always has it long at the nape of the neck and over the ears. It makes the cuts more feminine, and they'd be better if the length was more focussed on the top only. It's very much an anime thing, though, I think.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just have to get through EVERYTHING ELSE I have to do. I spend more time doing stuff FOR the game than actually playing. :P

It's actually never happened to me before. She's fresh.

I like a small few of her Male hairs, but most of them, I agree with you, they're really exaggerated, feminine and anime. I hate it.

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

*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.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

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

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. ^_^

Srs bsns indeed.

I love that hair too! :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It was one of the first cc hairs I just had to have in my game. We don't have enough nice curly hair for sims. That one is gorgeous.
