Y4 Av Shoot: Jess

[andavri]

So Jess asked for some RPG chars and I have to say working on this one almost gave me an ulcer. I was (am still) so worried I was getting these guys wrong. I haven't done much with couples in TS3. And besides other people's story chars... Yeah, always makes me a little nervous.

I do have, Jess, the hair that was "supposed" to be on Zoe, but there's a graphics glitch with it, so I didn't use it. I, at least, did some with Ethan's hair before swapping it for someone else. I also noticed, when I was resizing theses that there's one series where Zoe's wearing the same top as Jenni is. >_<'

There's about 75 pictures in this shoot.

This link will take you to Jess' Gallery
or
this link will take you to the Restless main page where you can see all the shoots.

Hopefully I didn't stuff this up too bad. As I told Kiri, you can either send me the links to the pages of the pictures you like or you can send me the numbers, either way.

Hi Steph!

Sorry that I made you worry so much! There was no need, though: nothing wrong about the pics, I love them! You really caught Zoe's essence in some of those shots, so thank you so much for the wonderful work!

No worries about the hair, I really like the ones you used! Zoe looks stunning on your pictures! That is quite the accomplishment, as she is not supposed to be a beautiful woman, but you really made her best features shine!

I'm having a hard time choosing favourite pictures: I was favoritising them as I went and ended up with a LOT of them in there! I really love all different sets you used. Gotta cut down, let's see...

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-348/ Such a beautiful pic! I love the looks on their faces in this one.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-356/ I love this one, really suits the characters, Zoe's being goofy and Ethan's all serious business and in slight disbelief about this woman.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-358/ I like the effect Ethan's turned back gives here. The decorating is great too! Very fitting.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-359/ I really like her expression.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/featured/jess-year-four-fallout-363/ Once again, loving the expression. Very fitting for the character!

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-365/ The hint of hidden sadness fits perfectly!

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-375/ I adore how Zoe looks in this set. She looks so pretty and sophisticated! I'm guessing this is after Ethan somehow manages to give her a better life.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/featured/jess-year-four-fallout-388/ I love the story possibilities in this picture, and the background of course! Gorgeous.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-392/ Such a wonderful picture, it's so them!!

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-396/ I think you outdid yourself in this set! The decoration, the background... Zoe looks spectacular!

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-411/ I really like the look in her eyes here.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-413/ The playfulness really fits the character.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-419/ Ethan looks great in this picture, his expression works great for the character.

restless.blackbirdslullaby.com/wordpress/year-four/jess-year-four-fallout-420/ I love this picture! The setting and everything else really works here. The sims look great great too!

Is that too much? Sorry, Steph! I really like the pictures, I do! So don't worry, they are perfect! Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this, I can't imagine how hard and time-consuming it must be. I apologize again for making things hard on you because of the theme! I will try to ask for something easier next year as I have asked for my own characters twice now.

I have a request for the text on the signature as well. In the Fallout 3 game, the players can listen to the radio while they play: it is an in-game radio where American songs from the 40s are played and repeated ad nauseam. Marcos and I chose some lyrics from one of the songs that fit the characters somehow, as Zoe has a past lover who abandoned her and Ethan left a fiancée back at the vault.

The quote is as follows:

"Maybe you’ll think of me
When you are all alone.

Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?"

Is that too long? It's OK if you just use one of them.

Link to the song just because it's nice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix1DT_osn3M

Anyway, sorry if I'm being demanding! I love all the pictures, thank you again Steph!

[andavri]

You're not being demanding, don't worry about that. And it's okay, I just, like I said, worry a lot about other people's characters. Well, if they're ever going to know what I've done. I mean if it's like fanfiction, then not so much.

I'm glad you liked what I did with Zoe. She was a character, she gave me so many funny expressions.

While yeah, that is maybe a few too many pictures for me to use them all, it is at least slightly my fault. I mean I presented you with 75 or so pictures to choose from so the fact that you liked so many is actually kinda awesome. I'd feel bad if it were like next to no pictures you liked out of all of them.

I can totally use that for a quote on the sig. And I doubt it'll be too long I used a much longer one on your current signature. Besides I like how you chose the quote. Music is always one of my big inspirations so when other people have song quotes they like/want used it always kind of makes me grin-y. I'll see what I can do about getting you an av soon.

[Theachen7]

Another beautiful shot! I love the atmosphere, specially in the ones outside with old sofas and stuff

[andavri]

Thanks, Felicity, Thea!

[Moon]

It looks like the characters were a lot of fun to work with in this one. Hilarious expressions, LOL

[Whitnerd]

The pics definitely feel Fallout-ish. I really enjoyed looking through them.

This picture made me giggle. All I could think was her going, "How YOU doin'?"

The av and sig are beautiful. I love the postage stamp look.
