If I remember correctly it's because I overlayed a maxis elder and copied the little elder marks. I think the original anva didn't have a specific, different, elder skintone.. nor did the louis one I blended into this, but I could be remembering wrong. Sometimes some people don't even pull the boob texture down (I had to do that myself for rensim's peau, for example). And hey, the mapping and body shapes are mostly the same so it works (except for the breasts, surprises me that someone doesn't notice if you don't pull them down that you get a line across the elder boobs)
I got my dad's nose, also my grandmother's nose, lucky me. We all have sinus problems :P But yeah, it sounds like you put a *lot* of work into sorting your skintone. And wow you have a lot of them and must have a fun variety going on. I can understand it that way, the prospect of sorting out all those skintones from scratch? Ouch. I think I'll stick with the few I have XD
I'm still waiting for my paid photobucket to run out, I may get a different kind of host for pics after. Not sure yet (maybe a proper webhost not specific to pics). Not that I have something against photobucket, just thinking maybe it's time for something else. Though my bandwidth is seeing far less strain now that I haven't updated my legacy in aaages >.<
Or the repo man will come, take your stuff and it'll be done with? Ugh, I've started putting my PSD files in a specific folder now to make sure I don't lose them anymore.. and I don't end up with 4 unused projects folders because "hey there may be texture files in there I need". Biggest problem now is the part where I think I forgot to stick one or two hair retextures I did in there and I already deleted the folders >.< I are idiot. Anyway, hope you get the diploma sorted out, always hard to say whether a crisper, bigger, texture will fix it or not.
Maybe so, but a lot of books do go into the afterlife stuff. Not surprising since it was such a huge deal to ancient egyptians. I hadn't seen that book before, it looks useful but also really expensive XD However, that did make me decide to see if it was available at a library (perhaps the not so far away archeological museum's library) and through that I found there's a few more books like [url=http://www.amazon.com/Costume-Ancient-Egypt-Reference/dp/1555467717[this[/url]. Course, seems all these books are old, only available second-hand and there's no way of seeing what's actually inside them. I wonder if the museum library is accessible to everyone...
It does make sense it would be some kind of belt or decorative piece. Still occasionally I do read that you have to be careful interpreting the drawings compared to what the actual garments may have looked like. Egyptians weren't big on being super correct all the time :P Not that in the end it matters, it's the Sims, if it *looks* egyptian, that should be enough (I can just be really, stupidly, obsessively, precise in these things. I just want to know now how it *really* looked).
And thanks for also looking for some things :) It's appreciated.
