Title: New and improved Corinthian!
Post by: alkaloid on December 27, 2006, 09:32:36 pm
:blob6: UPLOADING MY FILES TO PAYSITES OR THE EXCHANGE IS BAD KARMA.

This is the Corinthian, from the Sandman comic book series. If you are not familiar with this character, please see this Wikipedia entry for more information:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corinthian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corinthian). I've updated this guy before, but it's been a long time since his first upload, so I figured a whole new post was in order instead of just fixing the first post. Basically, it's hard to do a proper square jaw in this game (*shakes angry fist at Maxis*). Also, I didn't give him upturned lip corners. For some bizarre reason, this sim was absolutely DELIGHTED that I was messing about with him in CAS. His lip line is more or less straight.

Anyway, he's been drawn a few (http://www.headinjurytheater.com/ink%20sandman%20corinthian%20jared%20hindman.jpg) different (http://www.bedrockcity.com/cw2/Assets/product_full/TN_33545.jpg) ways (http://images17.fotki.com/v8/photos/1/178468/3637296/sandman95b-vi.jpg), and I try to make more realistic sims. This is what came out. Artistic license, right? Right.

I've redone his eyes - they're now centered better and feature a creepy peek of gum at the eyelid edge. They're set to hyper-recessive, so they shouldn't get all up in your gene pool unless you have a lot of eyes set to 4 in your game. (And even then, they'd only have a 50-50 shot of showing up). If you're still nervous, I included some blush "contacts" to use instead with the eye genetic of your choice. Not hacked - sorry, didn't remember to.

I also made him a new hair texture (the rest of the recolors are here (http://www.modthesims2.com/member/showthread.php?t=212049). I went with platinum blond instead of white BECAUSE I recently saw an albino and noticed that their hair had a yellow undertone. The platinum is actually much closer to naturally-occurring white than most 'white' textures are. :)

And now that I've been nattering on for a few paragraphs, I'll just cut to the credits and let you get on with downloading your new sim.
