WIP: 'In for a penny, in for a pound' skins

[aquilegia]

Since I have Very Particular Needs when it comes to average sims' skintones and a great want to take advantage of some of the very many pretty colours of skins Enayla's Pixie series comes in, I started another blend on my new bases.

... Ten skins later I came up for air...



Behold! The start of the Pennies series, named for both the coppery reddish colours of the first tones I made and from the saying in the subject line, because if a thing is worth doing it's worth OVERdoing. Or something.

Anyhow. These are WIP for a reason--Penny Wise (top row) is about ready now that I've toned down the blushed cheeks, but Penny For Your Thoughts (bottom row) needs a bit of deblushing as well as some adjustments of the noses of the paler tones--the noses are meant to be rounded and buttonish, but there's still a hint of the same definition as in the Penny Wise skins, and that is not going to fly.

There will be additional sets, oh yes. How many depends on my stamina and just how crazy I get with the penny idioms. Ahaha. There will AT LEAST be a Pennies From Heaven pack -- because really, how could I do without matching supernaturals?

Since I just got finished adding your Food of the Gods to my genetic rainbow (well, sliding scale of brown), you may rest assured that oh my word yes I WILL be sticking Pennies in my Downloads folder.

... Bad Penny. Penny Ante? Penny Arcade. Penny Candy.

I'll stop.

Hold on while I wipe the drool off my face ... I was just saying to Jessi last week or so how I needed some reddish warm tones to make native Americans with. I think these might just be perfect for that purpose. You must be a mind reader ...

Hee. It happens that I like to have as much of the spectrum humans come in available as possible, and I've noticed that there are some really big gaps. I probably can't fill them all myself, but... I'm going to try! XD

It makes me extremely happy to hear that!

These look beautiful - the colours are really good, and I love the facial features.
