Trying out my new markers. They’re no better and no worse than the old ones of the same brand, although for a moment I was very impressed for some reason. I forget what the reason was, because you can see how well they work on shading large areas. : P
Also there is no orangey-pinky-brown, so no skin colours! D :
Muila, greyscale marker

Muila, sharpies!

So! Here’s a bunch of Muilas for you. I think the greyscale one came out pretty good except for the hair which I would love to redo but am not sure how. I used my silver Sharpie on the second one, which is why the armour looks funny. Also I have no good skin-tone Sharpies. I should fix that.
The lighter part of the rainbow stripe is where I drew the colour blender, trying to figure out how it works. : P
Also! There are now Zela and Gullac stickers/magnets/keychains in the Zazzle store. I’ll be trying to put Muila on a few things, too.

Hi! Thought you might like to see this intermediate stage of one colouring of this picture. The hair is almost done; just two more layers. But it’s the weird wedge shapes that my colouring formed that look kind of cool… Yeah, I don’t really know what I’m doing, that’s why I’m all like “HEI GUIZ”
I’m also going to colour this with coloured markers (I’ve made several photocopies, and even this one is not the original) and at least one in Photoshop.
Okay! I’m off to finish it!
EDIT: Hum. The finished grey-scale looks okay. The hair maybe looks kinda weird, because I was trying a thing and it didn’t work the way I expected it to. Then I did a really quick one in bright colours (yay Sharpies! Ooh it’s been so long since I used them – wish I had better colours) and… just… whatever. The colour blender that I bought, the thing that I specifically drew this to test out, doesn’t quite work the way I expected it to. Maybe I’m using it wrong. Oh well. Off to investigate.
Also I will do a Photoshop version of this, because this lineart is too good to waste. : D
More Sims3 screens. Two new people and a sort of tour of the Leslie/Jen house.
Stephen Colbert?

On second thought, maybe a noir movie poster is not the best thing to hang over the tub.
Backyard. Note the copper cat statue because it is cute.
Laundry
Classy living room
Piano living room
See, piano
Concert time!
Sure! Why not!
Pretty elf man
Flairé needs a bit of a haircut - it's not usually THIS long
Actually he looks kind of like Flar
We'll forgive him though
Just one more thing… I built a little white church in one of my towns. A lot of the church stuff comes from the wonderful Around the Sims 3, and some of it probably comes from Mod the Sims or The Sims Resource – I wasn’t really checking.
Anyway.
I’m having trouble (at my resolution anyway) with the star-thing (I’m Catholic and I don’t even know what that is… we don’t use it at my church!) – it keeps turning into a gold flowerpot when you move farther away. Also there are some windows similar to the ones in this picture but the stained glass unstretches when you move farther away from them. That’s why (for example in the picture below) there are some larger clear windows. But I’m super happy to have windows of the right shape, anyway! : D
EDIT: My brother – the one who knows things – tells me that the star-thing is a thing for special festivals. The circle part in the middle of the star is where a piece of the Host goes and then it is venerated. (If you get really up close to it you can see that this model does have transparent material in the circle!)
This is a wonderful-looking instrument. <3
Too bad I have to cheat.
Outside! I need to add a belltower, don't I?
