In an Octopus's Garden.. with skins

Button Skin


Nutmeg Skin


Spetz Skin
Omg, an actual download! Crazy, isn't it? and skins, of all things. I was very very sick today, my stomach would not settle down. So I installed simPE on my laptop and downloaded some resources and got to blending, because I can't run bodyshop on my laptop but blending skins is mostly photoshop/simPE work. I made at least a dozen "faces" but by the time I was feeling well enough to use the sims computer (it's upstairs, while my bedroom is downstairs) I only had time to make 3 skins in bodyshop and still have time to get previews in-game.

I'm really, really proud of these.. I put more effort into these faces than I ever have before, meticulously using a tiny burn tool for shading details, and testing different layers and colors. I've been pretty thorough in making sure there are no issues:
Compressed, anti-pixelated, no black-scalps, and there shouldn't be any seams, either.

Nutmeg uses a peachT base from her Candybar skins. I recolored it, and the face is made up of all kinds of Jirka faces.

Button uses ephemera's dune skin as a base, and I kept the original color. Lots of Jirka in the face, and the eyelids are a blend of two different jirka skins and one of ephemera's eyeshadows.

Spetz is the name of one of my dad's friend's cats, and I just so happened to see a picture of her when I was making this skin. It's a "recolor" of Button, but I worked in some subtle undertones, so it has a slightly eerie, supernatural feel. That's what I was going for, anyway. Spetz has a facefile you can see if you click here.

All models are not wearing makeup, and I plan on uploading them and all of the Pertulles soon. I was thinking of submitting one of these models as a founder for pixel_trade, but I don't know if I can now that I've "used" them..

before I forget, here are the downloads!
the folder is called "buttonutspetz" but the skin files are more properly labeled, and pictures are included.
