Maxis Makeover Contest Photo Thread

Haha, yes, but I imagine even Circe's happiest dreams are nightmares for someone!

[joandsarah]

Yes, I'm sure Buzz was very happy to find that had been a dream.

[esmeiolanthe]

Circe is 100% serious, and although she knows 200+ ways to make people scream, there's nothing in the bio that says she enjoys it. I think of her as more along the lines of Wilfred Shadbolt from The Yeomen of the Guard, who says "I didn't become a 'Ead Jailer because I like 'Head Jailerin'. I didn't become an Assistant Tormentor because I like Assistant Tormentin'." (He then goes on to add "We can't all be sorcerers, you know," but I didn't think that was relevant to Circe.) It's a job, she's good at it, and it keeps her in fancy lipstick and expensive suits.

EDIT: I realized I used a cc object in the dream pictures by mistake. I'll reshoot them and repost separately. Maybe I'll rethink it, too, so I'm not copying Lorin, even without meaning to. Sorry!

Lorin, I swear that I did not look at your makeovers until after I had done mine! May I compliment you on your excellent taste? ;D And that last part of the "dream" sequence is right out of Stephen King...

Jo, your Circe is quite thoroughly evil! You can almost hear her maniacal laughter. And General Buzz actually looks okay this way. But what will you do if we need to make him over later?

Amy, I love the collages in the first makeover, and the "Nervous's revenge" picture in the second section is pretty funny! How did you get that face she's making in the first picture, with the one headshot and the fully body? It almost looks like she's twirling a mustache, but she hasn't got one to twirl...

[joandsarah]

Was the cc object the clip board? Don't worry about it, although it's cc it's an extracted Maxis object from the OFB reporter. Also don't worry about repeating things, we are all using maxis objects with the same sim and theme there is bound to be overlap. Reshoot only if you want to.

I made my Circe into a witch so much of that was her idles and she poked General Buzz of her own volition too.

CIRCE BEAKER EVERYDAY MAKEOVER



Don't I look so innocent? Teeheee, the plans I have for my husband!

[esmeiolanthe]

No, the clipboard was legit -- I opened a home business and told her to "set price for everything" and she pulled it out on her own. I just used moveobjects to put her in front of the Energizer. In the dream pictures, I used a cc toy. Since I also used the same face makeup as Lorin, I'll just reshoot the dream to a. not have cc and b. not be the same as Lorin.

[amylu1988]

Well spotted with my picture Esme, Circe is doing the Pickpocketing animation from BV, so she is indeed twirling a moustache! I love your Circe, she looks just right for the way you've described her, serious and in it for the money. Can't wait to see your dream pictures!

Ashley, your Circe is hiding her craziness behind a sweet front then, good idea!

[esmeiolanthe]

Okay, I completely rethought and redid the "dream" prompt, but I'm afraid it was pretty uninspired. Sleep deprivation (and then sleeping all afternoon on the weekend to make up for it) will do that to you.

Circe is still serious, and she still likes designer clothes and fancy lipstick, but if she had her way, she'd have her own TV show and media empire for people who also like taxidermy and coat hangers. (Alas, there is more money in making people scream.) So her overall look would be the same, although she would indulge in a more comfortable dress.

SPOILER: Click to show

Taxidermy is the art of "stuffing" dead animals, and these are definitely stuffed animals. And those coats are absolutely and without a doubt hanging. Cut me some slack here, okay?

Ashley, your Circe does look pretty harmless. But do we want to know what she has in mind for Loki?

CIRCE BEAKER
THEME: DREAM

SPOILER: Click to show

Circe pretends she doesn't see Nervous and Pascal sitting in the living room and that Pascal is pregnant. She brainstorms a way to get Loki to have aliens. Teeheee



Aha. My sweet sweet Loki has no idea that I send the aliens after him. Giggles like a madwoman, more experiments to do.



Poor Loki, Men shouldn't give birth. OOO well, more pain to laugh at.

[amylu1988]

Esme, yay for coat hangers and stuffed animals! Without cc, that's perfect! ;D

Ashley, poor Loki, Circe does have some evil plans for him then!

[lorinsv]

Esme: I see what Circe's up to, insinuating herself into the unsuspecting and most innocent minds of Strangetown. Mwuhahaha!

Ashley: Circe thinks she's going to have a field day with alien child, but I hope it has super strength and kicks her butt!

[joandsarah]

Okay, its monday morning over here now. Are all your entries in as I said I would close it Sunday night.

I'll be back to close this in a couple of hours unless I'm asked to keep it open.

Okay guys closing this now as it's really late Monday here. I'll put the poll up tomorrow.

[joandsarah]

Okay guys I had the poll all done and it came back saying it was too large and the net ate it. I'm still not well so I'll try again later. Sorry about the delay. That will teach me not to paste it into word.

[esmeiolanthe]

Take your time and feel better soon, Jo! *hug*

[lorinsv]

Yes, Jo, no rush. Take care of yourself!
