So a little later today my bestie and I will release our "official" Halloween picture.
I know you're gagging with how stupidly cute that sounds but before you run away, please know it sounds more of a thing than it is. We haven't even worked out any details other than getting together for pics and deciding we kinda want to release them at the same time.
I thought I would give a little behind the scenes and give the credits to the poses and such. Yes, I'm writing props to the props.
So here is the basic picture;
Stay tuned after the jump for moar pix and props to the props and poses people!
The picture above has us in outfits that we both cobbled together. In fact, my friend made her whole look on the spot with no shopping or warning that I was going to make her do this. She's like "OK, one sec" and bam has a runway-ready custom witch look. Amazing.
Anyhoo, I only blog fashion if it's amazing and on sale so these outfits, while amazing, are not the stars of the show. The props! The poses! (ok and for me, Izzie's face wrinkles).
I went to Fasiowl and got their Coven pose set. It is everything I hoped. All the poses plus all the poses loaded in a posestand, plus great props and special effects for a low price. Everything worked great and was easy even for a dummy like me to work with.
For the backdrop we went old school;
I made a lil backdrop and took a pic at some scary sim whose name eludes me and then it was on, witches!
SL advanced lighting is so amazing now I feel we would be stupid not to take advantage for every picture. I had a place I was renting as a photo studio but I'm letting it lapse as the new lightings are sooooo cool.
Anyhoo, back to our official picture and Halloween in general. I've written a bunch of posts about Halloween stuff and will write a bunch more over the next two weeks. I was wondering if I'd gone crazy, but it's really one of two holidays that have so many visual symbols. Easter is a distant third in my part of the world.
So it's Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, then what? St Patty's day doesn't really get dozens of sims built in its honor does it? I can vomit green beer almost anywhere!
So why not go all out for a holiday that is just good spooky fun?
I hope you like our pictures, I had a blast making them and can't wait to have many future official holiday photos!!!
