WoW Stuff

Finally got a little time to play some WoW, so I have some pic spam.

First my new hunter. I'm not a fan of the class but I love all the different pets you can get, and now that all hunters start with a racially specific pet I couldn't resist creating a Worgen hunter...since they get wicked Mastiffs!

So here is ''Frizbee''

and her pet ''Chewtoy''


I'm taking suggestions for future pet names, however they have to be somehow related to dogs...toys, treats, games whatever lol.

I've been taking the time to enjoy some of the old and new scenery.

The Night Elf architecture in Ashenvale


The wild new oasis in the Barrens


A sunset from Booty Bay (Yarrr)


Speaking of pirates, I've been fighting some...with the help of my own trusty boat.


Which was given to me buy the goblins and gnomes that hang out on the steam barge floating in the waters of the now flooded Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles. The boat itself is rather amusing as are it's quests, I quite enjoyed bashing a goblin over the head with a bottle to start a pub brawl in the barge's bar. This gnome and goblin engineering paradise features some interesting spots,


A cute bathtub which comes with a pet crustacean


Goblin BBQ complete with dodgy looking fish burgers

and finally my favorite


A que for the loo (there's also a gnome out house....apparently goblins and gnomes prefer separated bathrooms lol)

Next time I'm playing my druid I'll have to remember to get some screen shots of some cataclysm zones, they have some interesting scenery.

Pose Combining

I haven't really done all that much in the area of editing since joining Gothique Beauty ages ago. It really taught me to appreciate an in game picture and not rely on editing to get a shot I want.

That being said I have decided for this next assignment for Simiverse I'm going to try my hand at pose combining again. I've only ever done it twice before way back when I first started modeling (in the very first cycle of Simiverse). If it works out how I want it to I might do the same for the next assignment of Flux too.

The other competitions I'm in, I'm still going to stick to a non editing or minor editing only style. Cele creates some amazing images without having to edit(sometimes just minor stuff like lighting) so I'm going to spend some more time experimenting in game as well.

Need to evolve and get better it I'm going to maintain a position in these competitions, so stay tuned for my experimental pose combining pictures :D

2 Days, 7 Hours....

Just finished a modeling entry, that seriously took me days to finish...probably about 7 hours or so in total.

I'm normally not a fan of the collage, but this time it was required for a ''Spring Break'' related assignment for Clique. 5 pictures minimum.

Firstly this was difficult as we don't have ''Spring Break'' where I come from....we go to the beach all year round (no one in NZ lives more than an hour from a beach, except Hamilton where its about 1h 15mins to Raglan). From movies and pictures I kinda guessed it was kinda like Orientation week for college students, lots of drinking, shagging and being total morons.

I created 5 different sets, with multiple different extras, and three different outfit changes for my main model....I tired to do an idea that was different to what the majority of entries were going to be (Beach, swimming etc related)

My model Simone is spending her Spring Break in the city with her best friend Kylie, following Kylie's brothers band ''Cavity Dust'' going to their concert dates, pub performances and chilling out for jam sessions in the hotel room.

Here's each of the model shots, and then the final collage.

The heir is.....

Summer!

Final votes from the forum and blog were,

Radik - 1
Alex - 3
Piper - 6
Summer - 11

I have already used an alien adult version of Summer for the Hitched comp. So I've decided since I do love Piper that I'm going to do the same for her. The made over version of Piper has been entered into ''Take your pic'', and this is her, Beth O'Dare.

Musical Episodes

I LOVE those random musical episodes some shows come out with, in particular ''Once More with Feeling'' from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Every now and again I get the urge to watch it...lucky I have a copy on my laptop hehe



Spikes song ''Rest in Peace'', man he is one sexy vampire....fuck Angel he was a big pussy, Spike was bad ass. Love the bit where he's surfing the coffin, it gives me all a Billy Idol vibe, but that might just be the hair do hehe



The song writing was actually pretty good, not all musical episodes have lyrically decent songs, I'd say the only one I hated was the show tune number by Anya and Xander.

*Shakes Fist at EA Forum*

I've felt like playing my legacy family these last few days, and finally got to the stage of picking my heir, I was going to do a little thread vote thing on the forums...but for some reason my pictures won't show up.

I keep getting that ''this picture has been moved or deleted'' thing, when the pictures haven't been moved nor deleted.

This has made me a sad panda, and I may have to resort to choosing the heir myself. Unless I work out why the EA forum has to be such a huge fuck nugget.

In other simmy news I have started making sims of characters who appear in my dreams. Yes I said characters, I have these things I like to call ''Saga Dreams'' which are more like being part of a mini series or TV show, that continue over multiple nights. So far I've only made one...Kai Malrath who happens to be my very first vampire too.



Here's a non vamp version too



Slowly working on the others when I have time, using people I know and celebrities they remind me of, to help create them.
