AING: Prelude

AING: Prelude

I’ve gone ahead and created and posted the entirety of the prologue of my Sims 2 Legacy starring comic book characters on my website here: http://www.shadowfell.com/sims/.  I plan on posting the remainder of the comics one page at a time so I can maximize the procrastination.

However, since I’ve been fiddling with the actual website for two days, that means I don’t have any more comics to post quite yet.  I hope the first 21 pages can tide people over until then, as well as the outtakes.

I plan on getting some play time in today.  Here’s to hoping.  And here’s a title page.  :)

GOS Christmas in July 2012 gift for Moderra – Boheme It Up!

GOS Christmas in July 2012 gift for Moderra – Boheme It Up!

Hooray!  Christmas in July is on at Garden of Shadows, and everything that’s been shared so far is magnificent.  This was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next one.

Moderra was my Secret Santee, and I gifted her with a Maxis recolor of the Bohemian set from Apartment Life that, in my opinion, was not very Bohemian.  Sure, the lines and shapes were good, but the colors were lacking.  And no patterns whatsoever.  So I fixed it.  Introducing…

 I picked the color palette from a fabric swatch I found on the internet, and then proceeded to make every pattern used in this collection on ColourLovers.com.  If you’re somehow unfamiliar to ColourLovers, I highly recommend it for hours of time wasting.  I’m Dark Priestess over there.  I searched for some suitably Bohemian-esque patterns that others had made and applied my colors to them.  Much fun.  So now you can use this collection and make this:

I made all the sets separate in case someone didn’t want to download everything together, but here’s the listing of everything you can get.
There’s also a new Collection file for the walls and floors.
These nearly destroyed and discouraged me, but now even the single beds look fairly nice.  Not perfect, but good enough for me.
The patterned cushions also look nice with the basic wood tones from the original set too!
Also, there are recolors of just the shelf and just the vase.  In case you wanted to mix and match a little more.
And quite possibly my favorite part, which was an afterthought once everything else was completed.  I was like, “I need art!”

Damask on Demand – Moonlight

Damask on Demand – Moonlight

It’s finished!  I’ve actually had these done for a couple of weeks – I just needed to get in-game pictures and make my color palette.  This will probably be my final set as I will be working on my superhero Hood, New Gothopolis, and the Secret Santa exchange at GoS.  I might come back to it later, but four big wallpaper collections is plenty for this project.

Introducing…Moonlight!

I went a little crazy with the colors – 39 in all.  There’s a good range from totally ostentatious to a more typical-looking color, although none are as muted as Adalia.  Another set made from my Hexalicious! actions.
I really really like the way these look in game, so how about some examples?

I love damask in a dining room.  Probably why I made two dining rooms for my screenshots.
A sitting room.And another dining room.

Now to the downloads!  As usual, everything’s been labeled and Compressorized, and I’ve included an optional Collection file (now with my nifty new icon if you want to use it).
DOWNLOAD MOONLIGHT FROM BOX.NET!

Have fun with it!

Damask on Demand – Desire

Damask on Demand – Desire

Gee, what have I been doing lately?  Um…making wallpaper and downloading a billion furniture sets.  Yep.  But here’s another damask set for you.

Introducing Desire, a massively huge damask pattern with a thoroughly uninspired kick moulding.  20 colors, all in Brights.  I imagine I’ll make others in the more muted colors soon.
These were all made with Hexalicious! and tweaked to make the reverses.  Please forgive the stupid naming.  The “Fields” should actually be the other set, but I was in a hurry and didn’t bother changing it.  At least you can tell them apart.Now for screenshots:

Ooh, I made a dining room this time.
Wish my bathroom was that pretty.
And the obligatory bedroom shot.
Download time!  The wallpapers have all been Compressorized and labeled, as always.  A package file is included but will be updated when I finish the next set with this pattern.
DOWNLOAD DESIRE from Box.net!

Harrowfaust – Sounds from the World Between

Harrowfaust – Sounds from the World Between

My first fanmix for Jack Shear’s The World Between is complete!

My husband Andrew has been converting Jack’s stuff into Old School Hack so we can play it, and I’ve been helping out with the mapping part.  Since I think most everything needs a soundtrack and Jack’s original material suggested some songs to start with (marked with a *), I decided I wanted to make a soundtrack for each area of the World Between.

Our game group is currently in Harrowfaust, so I started there.  Vampires, demons, and gypsies – oh my!

Cover art!

Tracklisting:

  1. Eve at the Mansion – Katzenjammer Kabarett*
  2. Gossamer Mist- Nox Arcana
  3. Exile – Gary Numan
  4. Belong Tonight - Tarran the Tailor
  5. A Walk On The Darkside - Moonspell
  6. Vardo - Beats Antique
  7. Transylvanian Concubine – Rasputina
  8. Grande Masquerade – Nox Arcana
  9. In This Garden Of Mine - Fading Colours
  10. Leaving The World Behind - Tarran the Tailor
  11. Walking With Shadows - Gary Numan
  12. Rise Above  - Delerium
  13. I Feel The Dark - Opeth
  14. Hymn Of Absolute Deceit – Arcana
  15. Breaking Down – Florence + The Machine
  16. Pandora – Conjure One
  17. In The Flat Field - Bauhaus*

You can listen to the entire soundtrack at 8tracks.com!  Eventually, I’ll put this together for download as well.
