lol, The Headless Stripper XD Great name. Awesome, yes. Wildly inappropriate for my plans? Also yes XD
Meshing's not so bad. But I never really had a desire to learn it until I ran into things I couldn't do with just retexturing (and my very first finished complete mesh was actually fireman pants with a bare torso for this calender I made once that's on MTS :P Classy, huh?). I'm amazingly stubborn at creating and I sort of crave new challenges in a way. I prefer doing projects that seem difficult (but not impossible, I'm not a masochist :P) over doing something I have done a bunch of times before. Or projects I can just let my creativity let loose on. For example, I'm not that fond of blending skintones even if I did two sets.. but I love doing the supernatural skintones because I get to decorate and paint, I get to combine colours and add little details and that stuff is just *fun*.
You're reminding me of all the seam issues with skintones, bleurgh XD I wish you lots of luck with figuring out the servo. Skintones can be such pains in the butt. Yeah, I noticed that before when I had an alien kid born with a purple recolour of one of TeruK's skintones. He had this very pronounced clavicle and the chest looked like the male skintone. It wasn't a super cut skin, so there was atleast that, but still. Lazy!
So not a display dollhouse either? You could do it up like in the olden days :D Basically like a display cabinet, but for tiny rooms. I remember seeing one or two at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, old ones. *searches around for a bit* Like so http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/images/aria/bk/z/bk-nm-1010.z and http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/images/aria/bk/z/bk-14656.z (I hope those links work). You know that sounds like a lot of fun? Crafting tiny things. And talking of sculpting reminds me that I still have half a pack of super sculpey lying around >.< I am going to finish that figure some time, I swear XD
Mm, I suppose pillows can be hand-sewn yeah. Although moot point now, I managed to find a store that sold cheap pillow cases in just the colour I was looking for. I'm having my curtains professionally sewn atm (my living room windows are very bare right now, we only moved here a few months ago and curtains weren't high on the list.. well except for bedroom curtains) the ceilings are tall and the window large and on top of that it's an older house (1906-1930, thereabouts) and the ceiling is made of straw, so trying to put a curtain rail up there ourselves would probably result in the rail, and the ceiling, falling on our heads XD I figure, I can spend money on nice quality well-sewn curtains now and since they're so big, when I move, I'll just take them with me and reuse them. Making bigger curtains smaller is always possible :P
(you have rats? Rats are awesome. I love most small rodents as pets, I used to have gerbils myself)
