Title: Lucha Libre! Mexican wrestler El Fénix Post by: simenroute on March 11, 2007, 01:56:01 am In Mexico, every town is plastered with posters for lucha libre -- literally meaning “free fight.” These free-for-all wrestling matches aren’t for the timid. These battles between masked men almost always end up spilling into the audience, where chairs go flying and spectators run for cover.
The luchadores often don’t reveal their real names, preferring to use stages names like the Blue Demon or Man of a Thousand Masks. El Santo, one of the most renowned wrestlers, ended up being buried in his mask. I thought I’d introduce you to a few of the men whose masked faces are on the posters in my sim town: This is El Fénix, meaning “The Phoenix.” (He did rise from the ashes, coming back as this character after being unmasked in his final bout as El Matador.) The crowds call this young man Flaco -- meaning “Slim” -- because he lacks the girth of most wrestlers. But he’s wiry and strong, and more often than not wins out over bigger opponents. And his tattoo, the sacred heart, has won more than a few hearts of the ladies. Here is El Fénix during a match. His mask is red, white, and green, the colors of the Mexican flag. (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w263/simenroute/sparring.jpg) El Fénix is know for flashy moves, like this flying leap off the ropes. (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w263/simenroute/flyingleap.jpg) Hey, get that camera out of the locker room! I don't have my mask on! (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w263/simenroute/lockerroom.jpg) So many people to thank! The incredibly realistic skintone by jwilson5, which I modified slightly by adding the tattoo. The original, and a whole lot more, can be found here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=35065). The mesh is the slimmer bodybuilder by Marvine and Beosboxboy. You can get it here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=19759). The hair by Bakalia is here (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=217462). The rap beard by Schnuddle is here (http://www.pimp-my-sims.com/downloads/genetics/facial_hair/beards/index.html). Eyes and lips are by Helaene here (http://www.helaene.com). The wrestling outfits are by me, with a lot of help. The singlets started out the hotpants by Beosboxboy found here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=12083). The boots were a gift from our own SynapticSim, who graciously let me use the ones he adapted from the Maxis original. His fantastic body of work is here (http://www.insimenator.net/forumdisplay.php?f=215). I am in awe of his work! Last, but not least, to ~*M’Lady*~, who encouraged me to use her Blue Beetle mask found here (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=209833). I figured out how to make these masks by examining her original. Thanks so much! Important Note: The download is in two parts. The first is the sim in his wrestling outfit, and the second is his mask. The mask comes in two parts, the face is under costume makeup, and the top and sides are under hair. Lucha Libre! If you like El Fénix, take a look at Espectro (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=39931)! Title: Lucha Libre!

Title: Lucha Libre! Mexican wrestler El Fénix Post by: simenroute on March 12, 2007, 07:24:11 am This praise means a lot coming from you guys. Making the mask and singlet took a ridiculous amount of time, as I hadn't skinned anything before. Anyway, there's a couple of more wrestlers coming your way!
