Crash and Burn

Hope everyone is having a great weekend (for those who are still on it). Mine is winding down but it's been a pretty productive one. I forgot to take a photo of the updated doll room so I will do that in my next post but it's finally done and I'm calling it the art room. If I can get my hands on more of the scrapbook paper I used for the walls, I may be able to add an extension to the room to include some craft room stuff.

I finished my second yarn re-root for the weekend. This time on my Geek Shriek Ghoulia. I attempted to make her a wig using a wig cap and some blue black wefts I got but it did not turn out well at all, hence the yarn.

I've made some slight changes but she's loosely based (on appearance and job) on one of my Sims 2 characters from my short story, Solaris 5.

Her nickname is 'Crash', better known as Lilith Jones formerly of The City until certain events took both her mother's and sister's lives. After that, she moved to The Rim, a place where people left their past behind and started over.

Crash has mad computer skills. This is why black market jobs come her way regularly however, she's fairly particular about who she helps and why. She doesn't let anyone get close to her and is pretty happy with the way her life is. She likes solitude and isn't too keen on being overly friendly with anyone.

She's about to find out that sometimes, destiny chooses for her.

As I was re-rooting this doll, her entire life played out in front of me right to the point where I meet her in her story, in a seedier part of The Rim with a bag of spare parts and grumbling about how many credits it had cost her. She walks past an alley (why is it always an alley!!) and sees a Freshie in trouble. Her first instinct is to keep on walking, "Not my problem". But as much as she likes to push down Lilith's nature, it comes roaring to life and Crash decides to swoop in and save the day.

"If you want to survive in this hell, you need to dirty up a bit and not look so clean." are the first words she says to the victim.

And the rest as they say is history. Crash aka Lilith Jones was born in all her flawed beauty. Now I just need to make her the proper outfit to go with her attitude and we're all set.

Not sure what the world is called yet but I know there's a distinct divide; The City where the privileged, rich live and The Rim where the nastier side of society dwell, whether by choice or forced.  The City is clean and neat. The Rim is dirty and messy. Complete opposites but they need each other to survive.

I will have to figure out how to make Crash's room. It certainly can't be neat and pretty. She doesn't make that much money off her skills but it needs to be big enough to photograph with two dolls in it; herself and aka currently known as The Victim. 

The idea I had was similar to this house I built with Sims 2 for one of my Sim Stories "Swallowing Darkness". It was a house belonging to the protagonist of the story who was a private detective. Obviously he wasn't being paid the big bucks!

For the curious, the story was a Sims2 photo story. I've decided to upload some of the pictures I took for the story of  the two main characters.


It's nice to get inspired by your dolls.

...and that's all she wrote (for now). Have a good week everyone!
