Hello stranger. Haven’t seen you ’round these parts in a while.

[JR19759]

Love the backstory on Isaac Newton. Nice one.

Cool, like the colour combination

Anyway, meet Samantha, Lili and Danni’s daughter. I do believe this is the first time I’ve actually done a picture of her. She’s shown here around age 5. I’ll probably do a few more pictures of her, first as a teenager, then an adult, but I’ve got a few more things to do before I get round to those.

One question though. Should she have Danni’s last name, Dartford (as Danni is her mother, and therefore her blood relation), or Lili’s, Marcell (because Danni is the mother, and usually only the child of a single mother would take their mothers last name)?

Slightly edited from the version on DeviantArt for obvious can’t-use-copyrighted-characters-images-for-kigu’s-because-we-don’t-want-Jeff-getting-sued reasons, even thought the original kigu is cooler.

 

Also, thinking of doing something special to celebrate my threads 100th page when it happens, not sure what though. Any ideas?

“Danni, I’m not really comfortable about doing this.”
“Come on babe, I did one, now it’s your turn.”
“Yeah, but yours wasn’t a full-body. And besides, you look great. I just got a new tattoo and it’s still all red and blotchy around there and my hair needs re-colouring soon, you can see my natural colour coming through and you’re going to get the glare off of my glasses and…”
“Really?! I’ve just had a baby, you think I don’t feel completely self-conscious about how I look. You look beautiful, just relax. It’s not like anyone else is going to see these.”

Lili has pretty bad body image anxiety. Not as bad as it was in her teens (she was borderline anorexic at one point), but she still worries a lot about how she looks and, more often, how other people think she looks. Fortunately she has worked out a coping mechanism when around other people, keep them distracted by talking. A lot. It also help that when she talks, she’s not thinking about what other people think about how she looks. Ironically, Lili is naturally thin, she doesn’t put on weight easily (much to Danni’s annoyance), plus she works out pretty regularly.

Trying to give Lili and Danni more different body shapes and trying to move away more from the standard HM body. I might do reference sheets for the girls at some point.

Note: Lili’s new tattoo on her chest says “Samantha” which is the name of her and Danni’s (technically Danni’s, she’s the mother) daughter, named after Danni’s Grandmother (and on Cliff’s suggestion). It’s her third tattoo, after her arm and one on her back.

Note 2: Yes, Lili does have a navel piercing.

@WesternAngel- Were you moving the character by “All Items”? If so, there’s a glitch that means that all ways jumps when you try to load it from a save or export it. Move by categories instead (such as “body” or “backplane”. Neckwear comes under both Head and Body categories as well as it’s own category so watch out for that, you can end up moving them twice without realising).

@WesternAngel- Usually there are two methods. First you do the group shot within heromachine its self, by creating all the characters together in one image the same way you’d make a single character. You can use characters you’ve already made by clicking a little tick box at the bottom of the “Load Character” menu which says “keep currently loaded items, this will keep any character you’re currently working on and load another into the same save. But if doing that make sure that each character is positioned where you want them in relation to each other before loading them into the same file, because keeping track of items as you move them into position all in one place gets messy, much easier to move by item when the characters are in individual saves.  Or secondly, if you’ve already made the characters individually and exported them, use an external editing software like photoshop or gimp, even word has rudimentary picture editing that can be used. Saves a bit of time.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Viper

Anyway, done a thing.

There may or may not be an alternate version somewhere.

Ok guys, as I said in the first post, this thread should have been done and over with on December 24th. I only left it open for people with outstanding gifts that they had to return to those who had given them gifts. But now I might as well make it official. This thread is closed.

[JR19759]

Dude, this is an official warning; STOP BEING SO GOOD!!! 😉

I mean, that’s honest awesome to the max.

[JR19759]

@djuby- Cheers dude.

@Hawk007- How’s it not a selfie. Bright Idea is holding the camera. She just doesn’t have hands to do it with so she’s using magic.

[JR19759]

Merci mon ami.

I thought you’d like Danni’s shirt. Lili got it for her for Christmas 😉 . I have to say, I did quite like the idea.

[JR19759]

Don’t you just hate it when you’re trying to have a new years party with a few friends and then a Unicorn jumps on your head and starts taking selfies? What do you mean that’s never happened to you? It’s a regular occurrence around here.
