This is my first upload and my first completed project. :smile:

Well, I sort of got the idea for this after seeing MacimesZero's version of Conan. I figured it only be right to have Red Sonja to go along with him. But after not finding a Red Sonja to stand along side MacimesZero's Conan I figured I'd take shot at making my own. So without further ado I present...
Red Sonja, the she-devil with a sword!
(8) Sorry she doesn't actually come with a sword, but you can get one here. link (http://www.rosesims2.net/))

Credits in the making of Red Sonja go to...

First of all the hardest part in doing this was finding the right mesh. So, a big thanks to Marvine and Beosboxboy for their Atheltic girl 60's alpha dress, which you'll have to get here. (link) (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=18904)

Side note: I wanted to make the boots a little more like the ones she wears in the comic but I couldn't exactly do it. So, I settled for the easy way out. Oh, well that's life. :-|

You've done a great job with her. Thank you!

Oh WOW!!!!  Fantastic job on this one!

just what I was looking for! I don't suppose you'd be willing to do it in a warlock dn34, would you?

That's amazing!

Thanks for the compliments.

Maybe I can convert it for a Dn34...
Originally I was looking to give her a bigger bust, not a D but maybe a C with 36 hips. The problem I had though, was finding a mesh for the bottom chain mail. I tried to look for an accessory type loincloth at first but they didn't turn out right. It seemed an alpha skirt type mesh would be best. So I started to look for those. However, most of the ones that fit Warlokk's sizes have high heels and I didn't think it would look right on Red Sonja.  

Since I don't know how to mesh I just work with what's out there but I'll see if I can find a mesh that fits that size and the design.

Thank you for sharing,great job.

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for sharing it

Oooooh! Very cool! It's good to see the strong female characters being simmed. Great job!

Wow, she looks great!! The other characters in the pics look just as wonderful, and remind me of WoW characters. =P

Very cool. Beautiful as well as handy with a sword. Excellent combination. Thank you very much for sharing her.

Really outstanding action pictures. Bravo

:oogle: wow, Cynarra.

Xtian913, yes those extra characters are my partial WOW look-a-likes. I need to work on them more though. The one with the mohawks are going to be trolls and the one with the antlers I want to turn in to a druid night elf. :D

Very nicely done!! Keep up the great work!

very nice indeed

Good work thank you for sharing

The outfit is almost perfect,  but the hair and face is not RED SONJA!

First, we'll ignore, for a moment, that this sim was created over two years ago and the author hasn't logged in since Sept of that year .

You say you don't think she looks like Red Sonja, but you don't give any constructive tips on how they may have improved it, which is the whole point of giving constructive criticism. Not only that, but you resort to shouting (all caps) which is considered rude.


Far better and less abrasive would have been, perhaps, "The out is almost perfect, but I might have made her jaw/mouth/nose/eyes/whatever more *insert suggested change here* to make her look more like how I see Red Sonja."

Now, in sims0727's defense, the comic has been drawn by so many different artists and they're all different. In fact, the only consistency is she has red hair, blue eyes and a chain mail bikini. She is a fictional character open to individual artist interpretation. She was played, in the 1985 movie, by Brigitte Nielsen and now, apparently, will be played in a new movie by Rose McGowan (or, if rumor is true, Megan Fox). None of these actresses look remotely alike. Go ahead and Google her. You'll find a lot of art and no artist draws her the same, but I'll bet you'll find sim0727's version of Red Sonja looks like at least one artist's interpretation. In fact, they probably have their own favorite artist they based their version on. Does she look exactly like how I picture the character? No. Did I look at this sim and say "Oh, that's Red Sonja"? Yes, and that's the whole point.

The face is all wrong.  You want to improve her?  Look her up on the net.

Since I already suggested you Google her, don't you think it makes sense I did too?

The comic is over thirty years old and she looks nothing like she did in her first appearance in Conan. Not only that, but over those thirty years she's been drawn by hundreds of different artists who all had their own take on what she looked like. It's a character open to individual interpretation, to a degree. I'll repeat, the only real consistencies in the comics have been her red hair, blue eyes and chain mail armour. Some artists have given her strong, angular features and others have given her softer, rounder features. The OP probably has their own favourite artist's rendition they based this sim on.

I didn't say I wanted to improve her. You're the one saying she's wrong. You want to improve her? By all means, make her. Simple as that. It's not that this sim looks nothing like Red Sonja, it doesn't look like what you think Red Sonja should look like. This is just the creator's interpretation of her and it may not be what I would have made her look like but, as far as I'm concerned, it looks fine.

Once again, I'll rephrase what I said in my last post. You say she she doesn't look like Red Sonja and the face is wrong but you give no constructive tips on how to make it better. We welcome constructive criticism and acknowledge not every upload will be liked by everyone and that's fine; however, if you have nothing helpful to say, don't say it. Simple formula.
