WIP Brawny Knight

[cynnix]

I wanted to share my progress on one of the male bodyshapes I'm working on (currently there are three), the Brawny Knight. For this shape I wanted some muscle but a bit of padding around the hips, tummy and thighs. Think older knight, not past his prime but he's slowing down a bit, he's received land from his monarch and he's enjoying his family ;) He can still go to battle when called but he's getting older. He's the counterpart to the Buxom Wench that I have 3/4 of the way finished.

I'm going back through the RGV2 meshes and adjusting the shoulders on them.

Which default skins do you use? I'm trying to decide which ones I want to go with when I start my new hood. I've got to find something that will look good with Bloom's BRPB because that's what my female defaults are based on tf-ef. For the males I'm using Aquilegia's too.

I started on the Amaryll dress edits, I used the sleeve from the base game afBodyOverShirtPantsSandals, it's got a sleeve but it's not too wide. If you want a wider one I can switch it out.

OH! Those sleeves, one of the meshes has those without the oversleeve :) I have those saved as an .obj file to add to heget's tunic. I grabbed a few different options for the guys that I thought would look good on the tunic mesh, Enblith's is on the list. Trying to figure out how to make a couple of the tunics as top only to go with Aquilegia's improved fat morph/TSM shoe bottoms.

Don't get me started on the crowns, I have all of them extracted and made as objects, with most done as accessories. I want to release them as a set. I spent weeks trying to figure out how to make a pillow have a slot to place the crowns on, only to find out that if I did get it to work it wouldn't work the way I hoped. To place it on the OFB shelf I'd have to set a price on the pillow. I don't want to sell the darn pillow, just the crown. If I hadn't gotten a message about it I would still be fighting with it n SimPe lol. My workaround is a new shelf...with a pillow :) Once I've got that built I can clean up packages, take screenshots and share.



Did I mention the hats and helmets? Those are all in various stages of completion too.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for updated Rengal meshes! I think lifted shoulders would really help her. (The calves on mine looked weird, at least on the true nude. The nude underwear had smoother calves. Thought that deserved a heads-up.)

I use a set of Louis skins modified by JWilson for the Xhires/Bloom Sexyfeet combo from over on InSim Adult as my default skins, but I kind of have, um, around 200 skintones in my game. Some of which I've tweaked so the nipples line up with Warlokk's meshes. And given bust lifts to a few elders so they line up with the EF nude I use. I've actually tried to STOP downloading skins-- I finally got all my genetic gaps filled in, which means I don't need any new ones. No matter how tempting Alfred's skins are. And they're very tempting.

The only drawback to the BRPB meshes is that they shrink the areolae down to little pinpoints.

I just got my game loaded, lemme fire up Boolprop and CAS and look at those sleeves. EDIT: I was definitely thinking of a looser sleeve. More like afbodymechanic or afbodymilitaryofficer, maybe even as loose as afbodylabcoat.

Yes, those! I like the shape of them, it's a little more like a bag sleeve than most full sleeves have been-- with more volume toward the back/bottom of the arm than the front. As far as separate tops that reliably cover bottoms without anything showing through, I hear there's some sort of witchery with making a second group that the textures go onto. I don't know how FR did it, whether she's a mapping ninja or whether she used a second group.

Good crowns are so needed, Cynnix! (I grabbed your wreaths.) Most of the ones out there are either tiaras or way too small. ... And while I don't know about oFB shelves (couldn't you put the crown on the pillow, mark the crown for sale, and then put the pillow on the shelf?) I do think a crown onna pillow would make a really good jewelry rack. There absolutely aren't enough custom jewelry racks out there. Shoot, I was thinking of seeing if I could take your other tabletop rack-of-wreaths and turn that into a jewelry rack, as well as the carved head version.

And can I just HELMETS OH MAN. REAL helmets, helmets that don't look like cliche Viking hats with horns and stuff. Helmets that look like helmets! SO AWESOME. And that crown on the far right? That's a perfect crown. (Is that thing second from the right the circlet from the Aristocrat hair? I know Marja made an accessory version I need to recolor.)
