Art programs you have but don't use
Blender :( i wanted to learn it ever since I beefed my computer, but it turns out 3D sculpting isn't my thing
AutoCAD! i was so cracked at it in high school, and I'm kind of picking it up again so I can do a little graphic design with it. I'm planning to get recertified soon for fun (since it turns out my cert expired like... 4 years ago)
Revit. I also had a Revit phase but we don't talk about that (the misanthropic version of sims)
honorary mention for Medibang/FireAlpaca. i got csp and never looked back, but they were my og's
another honorary mention for krita. i tried to get into it but it never clicked. maybe i'll try it again if i ever have to get a new computer or something
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
this might be obvious but i am such a skirts and dresses person. bonus points if there's an apron or pleats. basically any loose, baggy clothing is such an enjoyable thing to draw. i also prefer clothing that bunches up around the elbows! (oddly specific ik but i love it)
my overall specific favorite thing to draw is a haori/fishing jacket because it's got a very simple construction (i looked up how they're made traditionally, and no joke, it's literally 4 rectangular panels sewn together in a row)
bonus small collage of some nice clothing i've drawn
12. Easiest part of body to draw
... i really don't want to be that guy but if i had to pick it's gotta be hands, but i also think my bar for decent hands is a lot lower than other people's, so it's ok, right? when i get to hands i feel like im actually drawing because they're so detail heavy (compared to the rest of the body) and i feel confident that it really "grounds" the pose so that's why i say they're the easiest.
but on the other hand (lol) my hands sketches are atrocious. after i get the gist of it down i can take the rest of it from there. something something... i can explain more in detail if anyone ever asks but this ask game response is getting long as is
but here have some sketch -> line demonstrations and a short collage of hands too since i really like drawing them <3
that and ummm skin folds? if you understand what i mean. i think they give a lot of personality/fluidity to bodies and i feel like i can find these folds pretty easily if i think about it a little. it's one of the first things i like to mark down when i do gestures, too
on the contrary, i think the hardest parts for me to draw are the face, hair, and the hip/crotch area
thanks for asking! @lotus-pear @silver-tounges-and-golden-lies @ixxy-artemala

Part 5 of the '(well now I've) scene it all' series is possibly my favouite kind of accessory which I'd wear every dang day! Arm warmers- I had pink and black ones just like in the preview pic which I made out of socks and they were such a go-to, aha. F only, Peggy arm warmers with ages added by @sushigal007 in 4 striped colours, and bloom gloves edited by @khal-ulti in 2 fingerless fishnet variations. They can be worn on their own or combined, but as you can see there's some minor clipping. you can have them binned as accessories, or as BV jewellery- the arm warmers binned as left bracelet, and bloom gloves binned as right bracelet!

I've revamped my much beloved formal kimono set! Thank you @holo-sims for reminding me these exist aha.
What's changed? They're p much the same decorative textures in tsukesage, houmongi, irotomesode, kurotomesode and mofuku styles- but cleaned up and repo'd, in a selection of curious b colours to match you game and with added haori options on my haori mesh!
Available for TF-EF + TM-EM on converted meshes (which you can find repo'd to original textures here and there) plus TF-EF on my haori mesh. All meshes are included. The Tsukesage and houmongi are everyday and formal, tomesode and mofuku formal, and haori versions have outerwear added. Options for standalone and repo'd to AF, everything's in labelled folders. Swatch here!
Download formal revamped!
I also have a cleaner PSD file for y'all to make recols with for my haori, though it also works for the HHS kimono if you hide the haori sleeves layer. Basically it's an improvement with everything I've learned since I made my last one! Download here!

Finally it’s here!
This is my first clothing conversion and surprisingly went really well!
I wanted a kimono with a jacket (or Haori) for a awhile and I decided f*ck it, I’ll convert the one from Snowy Escape.
Download: Drive / Simfileshare
Info:

Everyday and Formal
All LODs (though the lower LODs looked cursed)
All Morphs (including Pregnancy)

Recolorable (4-channel)
I’m going to convert it to children, teens and elder but it might take me a while so I’ll release the adult ones for now.
Credits: EA
Programs: TSRW, Milkshape, Mesh Toolkit, Blender, Photoshop CS6
Special thanks to @gruesim and @deniisu-sims for your help/input!
Also Shout out to @sweetdevil-sims guide with doing LODs!

Please note: If you request something via ask there is a 90% chance I´ve already read your ask and a 30% chance I am already working on your request. I am just very slow with answering ask. Sorry!
1) Dear Anon, thank you so much 💕
I´ll ad the Dungarees from the “Toddler Stuff” pack to my list. Regarding the ballerina shoes: I´d love to convert the ballerina shoes for you, but I need to learn how to convert shoes first. This might take a while, so please be patient.
Someone also requested the shoes from the “Bowling Night Stuff” pack - didn´t forget about that 😉
2) Absolutely possible and already on my To-Do list ❤️
3) Hey there, It´s not too much to ask, dont worry 💕
I can totally feel you! Toddlers deserve some traditional clothes too. I think the one from Snowy Escape is called a Hifu (Correct me if I´m wrong)? It looks absolutely stunning and I am actually looking forward to convert it. I added that on my To-Do List an btw. If you´re looking for more traditional clothing, check out deniisu-sims. She converted this Haori a while ago 🥰
4) Wow! Thank you, I really appreciate that . You guys are always so nice 🥺💖
So far I dont have any plans to stop converting... And I´m definitely not thinking about converting all the clothes from the new cottage living ep (Maybe I am... Maybe..)

:
bruh so uuuuuh.... Hi there!!! I randomly somehow...
Sure! �� that would be amazing, is it your same username?
Yeah! I don’t have a ton on there, mostly my custom meshes, but if you’d like I have a post here with other stuff I’ve done (I know they say mesh required, but 98% have the mesh included because I’m an idiot who can’t remember what all I’ve done with the originals). Just send me a request with what you’d like. (I also don’t know what all packs are required, I have a cracked copy of Sims 4 with everything up to Island Living included so I sort of forget that some of that stuff might not be with everyone else’s games.)
Also, I have made some new recolors since; I can’t remember what all, but I have Gwess’ hat, Okuyasu and Mikitaka’s jackets, an acc. jacket recolored like Tanjiro’s haori from Kimetsu no Yaiba, Gyro’s shirt and pants, and Jo2uke/Yoshikag8′s sailor shirt

LOVELIVE! SUNSHINE!! Aqours World Love Live! Concert Review
New Post has been published on https://animeindo.org/blog/2018/07/28/lovelive-sunshine-aqours-world-love-live-concert-review/
LOVELIVE! SUNSHINE!! Aqours World Love Live! Concert Review
“Connected by a rainbow”
As part of a fantastic 3-day event, Anisong World Matsuri’s first show of the weekend was the Aquors live! The cast of “LOVELIVE! SUNSHINE!!” started off Anime Expo as part of the pre-show fun, and the lines were huge! Despite the incredible heat, there were a large number of attendees in cosplay and those dressed head to toe in memorabilia of their favorite “LOVELIVE!” members. Despite not being the original LOVELIVE! girls, Aqours has garnered fans all over the world. The nine voice actresses not only sing and dance like their characters, but talk to the audience and each other in character as well for part of their performance.
People of all ages and nationalities lined up in front of the Microsoft Theater, lines wrapping around the outside. Despite doors opening at 4:30 pm, people walking up still had to wait about 10 minutes before entering the huge venue and being greeted by a welcoming blast of cool air. For such a huge theater with 7,100 seats and upper and lower levels, their ability to keep the place so cold in such blistering heat is astounding. The lobby is huge which made it easy for people to grab a drink or find their way to their seats even with the flood of people. Some attendees continued to brave the heat in order to get merchandise which was located outside the venue to right up until the show started. Towels and penlights in hand, everyone made their way to their assigned seats as 6 pm drew near, heralding the start of the show.
I can’t wait to see my fallen angel on stage! Yohane!!
They do have their own names, Bee-kun! It’s fun though that the voice actresses have their hair resembling the girls they voice!
When the girls started their first two songs with no intro, just jumping right into it; they showed such incredible energy and likeness to their respective characters it was like Aqours had come to life. Everyone’s smiles were so engaging that the audience found themselves mesmerized. It was an incredibly powerful start, and while their second song involved less smiling and a more serious demeanor, the level of intensity never wavered. It was incredible to think that these people were voice actors and not professional idols.
After their first two songs, they took a moment to stand in a line and introduce themselves to the excited fans. The audience was incredibly in sync, erupting in applause and cheering and instantly quieting down to hear the next thing being said. The Aqours girls seemed surprised but delighted that even overseas, so many people knew the calls and the characters’ catchphrases. Each voice actress introduced herself by character and name, though they spent longer interacting with the audience in ways that were unique to their characters.
When the girls went back to singing, the audience cheered and thrust their penlights in time with the beat. The two video screens on the right and left showed closeups of the performance which was nice for those sitting farther away, but made it difficult to see the diverse formations of the full group. The middle screen either had some decorative animation such as music notes or suns or random shapes over the video or would show clips from “LOVELIVE! SUNSHINE!!” The voice actresses’ ability to split off into groups with their own choreography devoid of the members singing to immediately getting in sync with each other for shared lyrics and dancing was incredible.
Aqours had a special surprise in the form of a short animated segment where chibi versions of Aqours’ heads talked to the audience about sneaking into the dressing room and catching some of the members unaware! Yohane and Ruby were reporters meaning to get some behind the scenes action but ended up in a savannah! With the other members appearing as wild animals, it was quite the unexpected twist.
Unexpectedly, the three sub units in Aqours made their appearances as well with new costumes! First to return to the stage was CYaRon consisting of Anju Inami who plays Chika, Ai Furihata who plays Ruby, and Shuka Saito who voices You. Their cute and energetic songs got everyone right back into concert-mode after the funny short they had seen. They taught the audience calls to one of their songs and had everyone shout “I love CYaRon!” before their last song. Up next was the regal Azalea with members Nanaka Suwa who plays Kanan, Arisa Komiya who plays Dia, and Kanako Takatsuki who plays Hanamaru. Their beautiful movements and costumes were entrancing. They took a moment to get the audience to say ‘guru guru guru!’ (turn turn turn) they could give a pretty twirl to show off the outfits they were so proud of. Following after them was the final unit Guilty Kiss of Aina Suzuki as Mari, Aiko Kobayashi as Yohane, and Rikako Aida as Riko. The edgiest of the trios, Guilty Kiss also had extravagant outfits with a gothic style and provided a bit of a departure from the rather cutesy songs from before.
After Guilty Kiss retreated back stage, another short animation like the one before it started playing. This time when the fitting room door was opened, a bare, cold room with a poor family (consisting of Aqours members) came into view. While they lamented about the harsh cold of Osaka, repo men (still other members) came in to take everything away. One cannot anticipate the horrors that lie in the Aqours dressing room…
As the second short ended, the gang was back together for their final two songs. The last song of the night, Sunshine PikaPika Ondo, might have been a calmer song compared to their earlier set, but Anju (Chika) playing a taiko drum while the other girls sang around her waving their fans in their special haoris, everyone found themselves swept up in festival spirit. Once the song was over, the members took a moment to thank everyone for being so fired up and cheering along so much. They went down the line to give their heartfelt thanks and tell the audience what it meant to them to perform this night.
I LOVE CYARON!! Doing the calls with everyone is so fun!
LOCK ON!! I know what you mean, you feel like you’re a part of the show!
The voice actresses for Aqours clearly take their jobs seriously, putting in huge amounts of energy in their songs and emulating their characters. They know what their fans are looking for and are more than happy to provide. One of the things that made this show so special was just how much they interacted with the audience. Even though English was harder for some than others, everyone tried to speak a little so that everyone could understand them. Anju accidently said ‘2020’ instead of ‘2018’ and she seemed embarrassed but with everyone cheering her on and supporting her, she continued despite probably feeling a little nervous. Each member took their time with their introductions, demanding much of the audience in terms of cheers and responses but being incredibly excited each time the audience would fulfil their role.
Another cute moment was when Guilty Kiss showed off the ‘kawaii points’ of their outfits. Each girl pointed out her favorite part which ended up being a bow either on their shoes, their back, or their chest. The proud looks on their faces as they showed off their kawaii points was adorable.
One of the most special moments for both the audience and for Aqours was during their second to last song, “Yuuki wa Doko ni, Kimi no Mune ni”. Sporting their t-shirts and dancing away, they continued to wow everyone with their performance. By the end of the song, everyone with penlights and raised them up and created a beautiful rainbow from front to back. Some of the girls teared up or even cried a little, and the astounded look on Anju’s face moved everyone in the theater. It was a magical moment that showed everyone’s determination and camaraderie.
They did it!! They pulled off the rainbow!!
I had so much fun! Everyone gave it their all!

Hey friends! I reside in Georgia and use my degree in Japanese primarily to (barely) read doujinshi that hasn’t been translated. Beyond deciding who is best girl in whatever I happen to be watching, I really enjoy ballroom dancing, reading, crying over dating sims, karaoke, and being surrounded by beautiful things~ (You know, scenery, décor, boys, stuff like that). I also love talking about passions with others!
