Honorable mentions go to:

bigger noses

not as horrifically pale as the rest of us

never stopped being into grungy gothy aesthetics

latched onto a Jhonen Vasquez character and never let go

noticeable scars (Johnny on his face, Jonah on his hand)

and an incredible fondness for Gloomy Bear.

But their demeanors are so night and day that it's like they have nothing in common at all. Neat, huh?

Doing a bit more experimenting with the "weird mannequin" style...

And what we thought would be a long arduous process turned out to be pretty simple.

Basically: If I have a 3D model of a hairstyle, say from Sims or Vroid, I can "parent" it to the head on a CSP model, thus giving the model a hairstyle.

We've found that in trying to simplify ourselves, we feel we lose a lot of ourselves if we lose our hair, because IRL we have my bald-ass head. So, hair became a necessity to figure out, but making something wholesale in Vroid never looked as good as the weird mannequins. With some futzing, we combined them.

Jonah's hair was made with Vroid, commissioned the front part and used a standard preset for the back.

This was a test run we did with Johnny's hair we commissioned for Sims 4 in the past:

WE HAVE ENTERED A NEW ERA OF WEIRDNESS.

CSA mention TW! This one is a long one! FUCK!

This did NOT go the direction I thought it would!

[274th]

We keep making everything super convoluted and complicated because we don't know how to keep things simple... I wanna try again with simplifying us into recognizable shapes and keeping things light and sketchy. I feel like our over-editing and rambling kind of makes things miss the mark.

Thank you other system comics for existing so I can realize that, wow, I am making things much harder for myself than necessary!
