📩 Simblr question of the day: What are some of your favorite behind-the-scene screenshots? I'm throwing this out to gameplayers, storytellers, renderers and the like :)
thank you anon!! 🫶🫶
this question is from the @simblr-question-of-the-day blog, check em out if you haven't :)
I'm gonna throw in mostly blender (and GIMP) BTS screenshots cuz i dont really have anymore BTS screenshots from sims 4 LMAO (I also ended up throwing outtakes in at the end :))
putting them under the cut cuz theres A LOT 😭
the full body (and prototype) pose of the Nirvana x Vanella post
- -
"you got any games on yo phone"
- -
A wip that i never finished,,, but nirvana being hot and seggsy as always (I wish i was that skeleton...)
- -
I learned how to do text in blender for the first time
- -
If you ever wanted to know what the BTS for that last scene in the Wake up Roo post looked like, here you go LMAOO
- -
not much to say about this one, i think it speaks for itself
- -
whenever I'm doing stuff on GIMP that involves layer modes, I like to go thru pretty much every single mode to see what looks good and sometimes i get fucking flashbanged 😐 (i also usually edit in the dark... so its literally like a flashbang for me)
- -
And for funsies, here's some outtakes that I rendered and may have edited that I never shared :D
- -
if you remember my international womens day post, there was this scene, and while it looks similar, this one is actually darker and is supposed to focus more on Nanel's hand placement :) I didnt go with it cuz iirc it didnt look right next to the other panels, but it is very pretty!
- -
From my emotions/feelings post, this was gonna be the one I used for Roo, but because of the lighting it looks like his mouth is open and not him just showing his teeth in frustration (which was the intent), so I changed it to be closed
- -
I think you can instantly see something is off with Kyneva's eyes... 😭😭 The lighting made her eyelashes look weird so I had to adjust the lighting to be more central (lots of lighting issues with these panels...)
- -
So like the others, the lighting was just too dark and I had to add a brighter light 🙃
- -
As an introduction of the "story" name for Roo and Leo, I was gonna do a post (which is why I learned to make text in blender) where Roo talks about the significance of the word "Hiraeth" in his life, which is that uhhh he learned Hiraeth from Leo lmao. But now he feels "Hiraeth" for Leo essentially. I still like the idea but for some reason I just haven't vibed with the scene and just haven't been motivated to go back and make that scene now esp. since I've introduced the story name now
- -
I was gonna do a short sequence in the Obsession Desperation post where Leo checks his phone and sees the notifs of Roo texting him, but figured it didn't fit the rest of the post and veto'd it :) But I'm planning/thinking of doing a post where it's Leo's POV/Side-of-things
- -
OKAYY finally the last one LMAOO This one i've shared before and is still an outtake, but i just love it so much I wish i could just shove it into peoples faces like its a cake.
Only reason I didnt use this is bc I didn't have any dialogue that fit this panel and it didnt really fit in with the rest of the panels (this was for the Inner Child post btw), maybe I'll use it in a diff post one day <:P
Ithuriel is an angel, who has been given the position of "The Repository of Sin", also known as the Atrium of Sin. She is not a sinner herself, instead she is a Sin deposit for sinners, in other words, she's like a therapist friend, however she does not know and will never know the people she is taking the Sin from. The Sin comes from sinners who has repented and are on a path of redemption, Ithuriel takes this Sin and carries it like a backpack full of rocks. While those sinners will still have a track record of being a sinner, repenting leads to them becoming "pristine"
The role as the Repository of Sin means that she cannot communicate with the outside world, she can't talk to the Heavenly, the Damned or anything/one in between, she is essentially banished from Angel Society and into a life of carrying other people's past. This is a rule cast by the Angel council as a way to keep pristine happiness across the Angel Community. The RoS CAN become overwhelmed by depression and sadness, and inevitably succumb into death, the longest an angel has endured this role was 362 years, the second longest was 106 years. RoS' typically die from resignation (resigning means being executed, as the Angel Council does not want the former RoS to share their sorrows), self-execution, being overburdened or found communicating with other beings (which leads to death by execution, no exceptions from the Council).
Angels chosen to be the next RoS are not allowed to deny the request, denying the request can lead to death of said Angel. When the Council asks an Angel to be the RoS, it's less of an ask and more of a "letting you know" thing.
However, Ithuriel is not too fond of this position upon recieving the message from her lover...
I see Hero as Asexual / Aromantic ! I can't really see her ever really feeling attraction to anybody else, but also an underlying reason being that she would HATE dragging someone into her hell-hole of a life with her curse 🤧
I think Deliahna (Roo's little sister) would eventually find herself being aroace, and also would come to the conclusion that she's agender!
I'm still picking up pieces of Onia right now, but I can absolutely see her being Aro or Ace!
16, Did you ever change an oc's identity when they were already established? Why?
Yes! Plenty of times actually. I don't really remember any of the reasons tho 😭
Nirvana was supposed to be straight / aromantic, I don't really remember why I changed it,,, but I do think it's a lot more fitting for her.
Ithuriel was not supposed to have a partner and was not supposed to be lesbian! I ended up changing this just cause I made Nanel and they were perfect for each other (also other story reasons) sjddjskjd.
Hero was originally straight as well! But I changed that to Aroace as time went on.
Genesis, an oc I haven't and might never introduce (sadly), WAS gonna be a lesbian, but is now straight.
Leo wasn't supposed to be gay necessarily, I originally think I planned on having him be bisexual or pansexual, but changed it for the homophobia bit and stuff skdhsj
