A finale and Another Entry

So I entered another comp. Dark tempted me with a vampire theme, so I took the bait, I haven't worked with a vampire model yet, and the ''clan'' I chose kinda forces me to do some minor editing. I really need to practice more with my editing, maybe then I might enjoy it more.

Submitted my last entry for Clique, I made it to the finals so either I'll come runner up or win.........adding to my 3 wins and 5 runner up placings. I actually heavily edited this and I'm decently happy with the way it turned out. The assignment was a graduation picture.

Took me Forever and it's not Perfect

So I needed an idea for Toxic. The first assignment was to create a portfolio of images with your model, but within a dark/grunge theme. I didn’t want to overly restrict myself by adopting a theme within a theme, but I did need something to help me narrow down what my shots would represcent.

While looking through some gothic stuff I suddenly decided that this was a good time to show some of you how much I appreciate your work as simmers. Though some may not understand the time and effort we put into competition entries, simmy creation, competition hosting and the little stories we add to our pictures....I just want to let you know that I know (lol) that it takes a very special type of person to dip into other worlds like we do.

My portfolio is a tribute to those of you who inspire me. I already took on a huge task so I couldn’t include everyone and I am sorry for that, some pictures are a shared dedication and others are not, and this does not at all reflect how much I loves you, it’s just worked out that way hehe.

They aren't as good as you lot can do, and they are less detailed than my normal pictures...but it is for a portfolio so they needed to be somewhat basic.


(Akasha, Toblie, Cece)

This image is a tribute to the competition Gothique Beauty hosted by Akasha/Suicidal Spidars which began its first cycle on the sims forums before I started modeling, and whose second cycle I was involved in was held at Cstyles. It is a mimic of my favorite assignment for that cycle, which was a gothic fashion shot. Not only is this made for Akasha, but for the judge Toblie, for the other contestants and for the admin of Cstyles Cece.


(Evergreen)

I’ve always been a fan of Evergreens close up shots. So simple but so beautifully effective, so basically this is a tribute for Jake.


(JKAmaryllis)

She beat me in my favorite comp Gothique Beauty, and hosts and judges some of the other comps I rate in my top 5....so I just had to include JKAmarlyis in my tributes. It is a mimic of an entry she produced for Simply Sassy, with a Gothabilly/Rockabilly twist. Thanks for being one of my favorite idea bouncing pads Amber.


(Evie, Kelle, Berrypie, and Randomspirit)

The first competition I judged was UNIQUE hosted by Steviefischer/Evie. It has been so far the only competition that I have really judged (my other experiences being quest spots) and I did so for all three cycles. Evie had some of the best ideas around for assignments. My favourite memory was the assignment for the finale three in cycle one, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil, See no Evil.....and produced some of the best pictures for that whole competition from Kelle, Berrypie and Randomspirit. Thanks for the opportunity to judge you ladies, was a blast.


(Blazaxx and Darkslayer)

A duo tribute image based on the phantom of the opera...just because I can hehe. The overall image idea is inspired by a picture created by Blazaxx for Simply Sassy hosted by Kamcil. The phantom at the piano is played by Niwa Diasuke one of the best male models to grace the sim forums, created by my favorite sim creator Darkslayer.


(Celeseraphym and Hushfirefly)

My biggest idol Cele, this is one for you. A mimic of one of her amazing Faerie Folk entries, one of many I might add. Anything else I could say about Cele’s work just wouldn’t do it justice so I will leave it at that. The male model featured in this one is Lucas created by Hushfirefly, I couldn’t include a story tribute for you hush, but as this image reminded me of your couple for Hitched (I am very much enjoying the story you have weaved throughout the comp) I felt this pairing was fitting.


(Repulsivedesire)

I've always liked her user name so I tried to make something sexy but scary at that same time hehe. Thanks for the CC creations RD I have almost every single set of items you have made <3 It's a shame you decided to drop out of Toxic would have been fun competing with you again.


(Sereniticat, Poida and Sun)

A three way tribute. A mimic of Serenticat’s Mad hatter image which is still one of my favorite pictures ever. I couldn't get access to Poida's studio *shakes fist at the EA forums* so took some of the color scheme from his new story for Laleina's Mad Hatter outfit. Sun's simmy Madison plays the role of Alice, and Hush's sim makes another appearance as tweedle dum and tweedle dee.

Here's the final collage for the submission


My pictures don't do the tribute justice, but it's the thought that counts right? :D

Curse you Tiny Toilet!



If you haven't seen Despicable Me, I highly suggest you do so, freaken hilarious. Minions are so adorable, but the tiny toilet scene cracks me up all the time.

Epic Ideas

So I have been busy with some modeling entries, and other stuff. I was going to make and have photos of some cupcakes, but I trusted my husband to preheat the oven and put them in....and the man failed to listen to me, or read the recipe and fucked my cakes up by putting them in under the wrong temperature. Cute but not so smart in the common sense department sometimes.

I won't bore you will a whole list of my pictures, especially when some of them aren't really good enough to be flashing around lulz, I will post my elemental modeling one at the bottom of this post however...since Xia's outfit is pretty.

I have come up with an EPIC idea for my portfolio assignment for Toxic. It's going to be a tonne of work, each shot is going to take me forever and I'm planning 8 of them. But please check back here to see them....you hopefully will not be disappointed.

Without further ado, Xia in ''her element''

Justin Bieber

I know your looking at the title of this post thinking...

W T F PK, have you finally lost it?

But after being subjected to the fucking terrible acting of Mr Bieber, I really enjoyed his death scene in CSI. I fucken love you CBS, even with the terrible editing (magical gun appearing and disappearing in Justin's hand).

I'm a Big Fat Liar

So I'm always saying ''I'm not entering anymore comps'', ''Thats it for me *insert random number here* comps are enough for me''.

Well I'm a big fat, stinking liar.

I just joined two more.

Fashionista Madness cycle 1 has finished I came runner up, and I have this thing where I like to keep trying at a competition franchise until I win it....so I've signed up for Fashionista Madness Cycle 2.

And then Evergreen rolled out the cycle 2 of his comp ''Toxic'' and some people I haven't competed against signed up, as well as a few others who challenge me creatively (RepulsiveDesire being the big one there) so I HAD to sign up....it was like some dirty compulsion.

So I'm officially in 10 comps now.....yeah I know, I am fucking insane.

I created a new sim for Toxic, Laleina Kale, I think my sim making abilities are improving. I'll be repackaging and reusing Avon Creed (The model I'm using for Flux) for the second cycle of FM since she was great to work with.

So heres, Laleina's headshot, and the latest entry for Flux using Avon Creed....a random Valentines day shoot which had to include another sim other than our model.

My bathroom Ceiling is Crying ._.

So I've slowly begun posting a few real life snippets here and there....I should do more since well my husband and I are strange human beings and we get up to some weird ass stuff sometimes.

I wasn't going to post about this, cause you know it's not really that big of a deal....but then things turned blue and I rofled so here it is.

We were sitting watching the jeopardy episode where the computer ''Watson'' who is made to play jeopardy kicks the ass of some of the best human jeopardy players....when I start hearing water running. Now this isn't uncommon....me hearing things...but it started to get louder and hallucinations don't normally have volume control. Greg got up to see if one of our taps was loose and discovered water dripping through the extraction fan on the ceiling of our bathroom.

We called the apartment handyman and he cut open a section of the ceiling as one of our pipes had burst and was leaking water into the roof. He removed the actual fan (left the grate) and patched the pipe, saying he wasn't experienced enough to fix something so major, that he would need some parts etc. He would come back tomorrow with some help, remove the patch fix the leak and replace the ceiling.

He left my bathroom in a right mess, bits of fucking ceiling everywhere.

He was gone for about 10 mins when we heard water dripping again. BUT this time on entering the bathroom we discovered that the water had not just started again....but was now................

BLUE

Yes my bathroom ceiling is now leaking smurf tears into my toilet ._.






Never thought you'd see a toilet on a blog huh?



EDIT: Holy fucken god it's getting worse!!!
