Being Sick Sucks

Being sick and unable to go to the doctor to get drugs to make you better faster....sucks even more.
I'm hoping that my husband gets well enough, fast enough that I can steal the last of his antibiotics he got from the doctor, even though they always tell you to finish the full cycle of tablets....people rarely do lol.
Cheap ass over the counter cold and Flu pills and Robitussin just don't hit the spot.

Way behind in my sim modeling stuff still, Darkslayer should be punching me in the E face soon since the finale for Vampire the Masquerade was due a LONG time ago. Hoping to have at least the first picture done tomorrow, if not both. Just a hard time balancing online shit with real life shit while moving and having the flu (or whatever I have), though we have pretty much unpacked and moved/stored most of out crap now.

All I have right now is a not very good entry for Beeching Modeling....the unedited version of the shot probably looks better lol, but I haven't really played around with the dodge and burn tool nor color curves, so I wanted to experiment. Once I'm done with the comp's I'm in I think I'm just going to lurk, judge and piggy back assignments for a while and actually learn some new skills.

Superhero

We've had some pretty normal assignments for All About Me, Traits related stuff, our favorite room etc etc but this one was my favorite I think.
I have a love hate relationship with the Superhero assignment, it's a hard one to work with in certain competitions, however for my simself it was a lot of fun. Took me forever to think of what special power I should have, but eventually I settled on a kinda mix of Iceman and Storm.

Felicia has implemented a new ''PM submission'' for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, so I won't be posting entries for that comp until after scores now. I don't quite understand the point of it, other than there's no risk of anyone copying you, but then the judges are so good that they have already picked up on people using others entries as ''inspiration'' for their own.

Will be working on the finale for Vampire the Masquerade tonight and tomorrow, that's next on the list.

Still Here

Will have some pictures up tomorrow been really ill lately, luck has not been on my side with moving and then becoming really unwell and then when I start getting better my husband gets sick (mostly his fault, kissing a sick person even after they say its a bad idea is just asking for it lol)

Really surprised that the pictures I threw together for Canvas (3rd), Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (1st), All About Me (1st) and Beech Modeling (1st) did so well, so I'm hoping my luck holds out for a few more days so my half assed entries don't get me eliminated.....hoping by the weekend I can finally get back to normal, my time management skills aren't normally so crappy.

I'm Getting There! lol

Well I still haven't got very far with the actual unpacking of stuff, I kinda spent my day cutting a small tree down in the backyard because it was blocking the sun on the deck lol.........but I am also slowly getting caught up with all my simming competitions.

My entry for the All About Me assignment ''Cribs'' got first for the round. We had to show off our favorite room in our dream home, mine was a black, white and red study with his and hers computer set ups and a big screen TV.

Then I did the entry for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun which has a political career theme. Drew a bit of a blank with this one too be honest, which is why it's a bit cliche and boring. Many of the other contestants had some really interesting ideas, I just went with a lobbyist for the mafia, tying it into the previous assignment where Saffia was working as a hitman.

Really wanted to do some playing around with my tablet for my Canvas entry, but right now I just don't have the time for sitting around practicing and playing around...plus it's kinda packed away somewhere lol. So I ended up doing my Steampunk entry pretty much all in game just did some minor adjustments to color and lighting to get the look I wanted.

Last but not least is my high fashion swimsuit entry for Beech Modeling. Through my experiences with High Fashion Modeling comps, and actually doing some research on the topic, I have come to the conclusion the idea of ''High Fashion'' is very much up for interpretation.....so I hope this works lol.

Dark Shadowz Results

As suspected I came second in Dark Shadowz, Dark Faerie Edition. Was my very first non ellimination compeition, and I have to say it was very hard to stay motivated. While non ellimination compeitions are fantastic for those starting out in the modeling scene, I personally found it hard to push myself to do better each round when there was no threat of being elliminated.

It was pretty close between myself and Chellemh who has become one of my new favorite Sims 3 picture editors, her fantasy work is really fantastic.

I may or may not be judging the next cycle, I really have to think about whether I have time to judge anymore competitions, even though my scoring system doesn't take as long as actually creating an entry for a competition, it is still very time consuming as I try to put a lot of effort into the comments I provide.

Another amazing siggy to add to my collection. Beech really has a knack for making them, I think this is one of my favorite's right now.

Apologies

Sorry for the lack of updates, that should be remedied soon once I have everything sorted.

Moving took longer than I expected, had no idea how much stuff we had accumulated in the year and a half we had been living in the apartment. Took an extra day to move all the big stuff due to many factors, one of those being the husband and I getting pulled over by the cops because our registration had expired 3 weeks ago....yet another important thing my husband has issues keeping track of, so we got a 580 dollar fine and had to interrupt the moving process to go and get the car registered.

Then it took a whole day to deep clean the apartment, mostly because I almost had to re-clean everything my husband ''cleaned'', because....well I dunno it must be genetics that men don't see certain things...like dirt lol.

Planning on getting caught up with my competitions tonight and tomorrow, got some scoring done last night before I coma'd and again this morning in between naps....because yay me, I'm sick again, my immune system sucks so much ass....but at least people aren't waiting on my judging results.

Once I'm sorted in the simming department I can get working on unpacking everything, finding homes for stuff and sorting out boxes.

Moving House

I'll be moving soon, most of our stuff will prob be shifted on Sunday just because thats generally everybodies day off so it wouldn't be just me and the in laws trying to move all the heavy furniture hehe
I won't have any internet downtime since thats already all been set up, but I might not be on as much anyways due to needing to set things up and settle in.

Have one Sims picture to post, an entry for girls Just Wanna Have Fun for the assignment with an illegal job theme. Saffia is working as a hired gun or hitman for a local crime syndicate.
I am working on finishing the three pictures for the Dark Shadowz finale which I will hopefully have all finished today if not finished tomorrow night, so I might have time before we started really moving everything to post those up too.
