wip - graphic tees for the boys

[aikea_guinea]

Yeah, I think the preview's a bit much for a wip preview, but it didn't take long, so I guess it evens out.

Er, yeah, anyway... These are just some graphic shirts I did today, trying to get the hang of doing stencils in TS3. These are damned near ready to go, but I want to wait to release them until after I get versions of these done for teens. That involves making a default replacement teen t-shirt mesh, thus the slight delay.









Bonus Silversun Pickups shirt if anyone wants it...?

These are shown on my default replacement AM t-shirt mesh, obviously.

As for the previous wip-penisessesss, I have the new texture all set up on my default skintones, both V1 and V2, as well as the psd. However, DBCAB's mesh seems disproportionately huge to me, so I've been a bit hesitant to take previews. When I'm done with the TM t-shirt mesh, I think I'll scale it down a bit (for myself, though if anyone else wants it, I'd be happy to share).

[Also, I have another rant brewing, but I think I'll spare everyone. I'm PMSing like mad, so I'll just continue to let my annoyance and pissiness fester deep inside where it'll eventually become a mental illness. (Thanks for the replies to my previous rant, and sorry I'm being terrible with replying.)]

Those are excellent. And - Silversun Pickups shirt. *squeal*

As for the penis, I personally would prefer a scaled-down version. Because sometimes there is such a thing as too big.

(I'll see your PMS and raise you the early stages of pre-menopause. Yukh.)

I looooove that SSPU shirt; I'm tempted to buy it.

To me, that penis is almost humorously large. I can't explain it. Maybe it's because I've really only seen it on Jacob (because he is so fond of going around nekkid), and he's as skinny as they get, so it just seems really huge? I did notice in their screencaps it seems fine on super-fat sims.

(Yeah, I think my PMS is now completely out of control. As my friend is fond of saying, if I don't bleed soon, someone else will.)

I don't think it's just you - that thing ain't quite right. (Of course, it's been a while since I've been up close to the real thing, so my judgment may be off.) (And if that's not TMI, I don't know what is - sorry.)

At any rate, most of my male sims tend to be on the skinny side.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Photo proof.

*giggle*
The, um, balls seem a little out of proportion, as well.
*giggle*

(I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm 40 going on 14)

[aikea_guinea]

They seem painfully huge! The lad needs support down there! A ball-bra?

[century-eyes.livejournal.com]

Ball-bra. Oh, man, that made me laugh way too hard. Now I'm trying to visualize how such a thing might be constructed. It's just very very wrong.

[robokitty]

Although, I do wonder if your other penis mesh would look humorously small on medium and/or large sized sims.

[aikea_guinea]

See, that's what I worry about too! That one already looks smallish on ultrafat sims. I may try to do a for-real, actual morphing penis mesh. Just something that is larger for larger sims, and smaller for scrawnier sims.

I have no idea if I have a snowball's chance in hell at getting it to work, but I'm not afraid of breaking things.

[robokitty]

Argh... the big empty space in that post is because I stupidly used carrots instead of asterisks to indicate this action:

*comedically timed spit take*

I LOLed.


As for his balls--maybe it's a temperature thing? O_o

[robokitty]

Those look good. I don't remember the in-between-the-chest folds on the male shirts--is that your doing?

Also, I've been on a monstrous 80s new wave binge and applaud your depeche mode.

And also, I had a reply about penis size, but I decided it was TMI and have judiciously stopped myself from making it.

[aikea_guinea]

The t-shirt textures are 100% mine, and what'll end up on my complete default replacement files. I'm trying to work out a slight drop shadow on the sleeves, which I think I kicked into submission earlier this evening.

Well, for what it's worth, I personally have little to not problem with TMI. I do have a bad habit of giggling like a 12 year old, however.

[robokitty]

They look a lot better than the original Maxis textures. That was the first thing I noticed, but maybe that's because I keep making a :( face at the flat textures on my think geek shirts. I considered making a new base texture for the shirts myself, but I didn't have the patience.

[aikea_guinea]

I'll upload my PSD for you when I get home. :)

Here you go. The baseball tees are on there too.

[robokitty]

Cool. Thank you!

[jesslove]

I love the SP one. :D These shirts are amazing!

[aikea_guinea]

Thanks! I'll be sure to toss the SSPU one in now. :)

[raijin]

Oooh wow! Do Want Aikea! Can't wait.

Also, can I ask where the image on the yellow shirt is from? It looks strangely familiar.

[aikea_guinea]

It's a Zune background, and I used the same design for a TS2 shirt.

Or at least I thought I did. I can't seem to find it anywhere now. :/

[raijin]

Ahh! That's right, I'm almost sure you did, that's why it looks so familiar.
