I don't even know how to explain what it's about because it has literally everything in it. Wuxia sandbox on crack? IDK you can try to cure a goose but if you fail it becomes a boss and kicks your ass. Looks amazing, too.

You have to keep those proportions though, or the mask will be the one coming up distorted. But the game animations still take into account the sim underneath, it couldn't care less about the mask over it, so every animation that includes faces touching with each other is automatically off because the game believes it's smashing two normal sims together, and not one that has a mask that moves all its bones several inches back. This is only a relative problem, I can fix the distance both in game and by making poses exclusive to these models. No biggie.
But then my main issue becomes the expressions, because that mask is a block of rigid clay and doesn't react to anything. As I was mentioning in my other post, I had to liquify my way through every smile because the actual sims were stone-faced and dead-eyed. Time for a test run, I said to myself. I rip the sim with the mask on so I can put it in blender and deal with more accurate proportions and then I start poking things and rotating others to see what moves and what doesn't.
Result: the LADS boys can pretty much only open and close their mouth, open and close their eyes (with some eye movement), and register some form of eyebrow activity. 
Smiling isn't a thing. Cheeks are made of botox.
This is a frame from an in-game original animation, and how it looks on Raf.



So either I keep on editing expressions in photoshop, or I only make moody scenes where they don't emote lol
Or I give up on these models altogether, but I'd rather not. I have yet to find other versions that make me go "Oh yes it's them"]]> So, LADS models so precise I look at them in wonder, but then realize that in order for the mask to work, the sim underneath is someone not even their mother would love.

I hope you're having a great time watching it. I myself decided to check the anime The Apothecary Diaries, and that's where my weekend went in its entirety.

i cannot recommend Fangs of Fortune enough, this is So Fucking Good. it seems to be is a mystery drama set in martial art fantasy land with an original death that started a chain of events, and so far at least, every episode exposes a little more about what happened both at that starting point and also expanding on what you thought you saw in the previous episode (spoiler: you didn't see all of it the first time so your conclusions were understandably faulty).

i am going to watch episode 7 tonight and this i what i got so far about the central mystery:

- a woman died
- a woman who was a goddess died
- a mortal woman who was a goddess died and she released her divine power before death
- a mortal woman who was a goddess died and she released her divine power before death and told it to "find her"
- a mortal woman who was a goddess died and she released her divine power before death and told it to "find her" and the wisp of energy floated off to another woman and was absorbed
- a mortal woman who was a goddess died and she released her divine power before death and told it to "find her" and the wisp of energy floated off, split into two pieces and was absorbed by another woman and a shadowy figure in black.

maybe episode 7 gives us the face of the shadowy man because there are two possibilities that I know of, but I suspect strongly there's a third that has yet to be revealed. 

i love this kind of jenga tower of building; pretty much nothing so far is as it seems and every reveal and every new addition is gloriously complicated.

also, Episode 6 made my tears well up and i sniffled. IT WAS SO SAD.]]> Saw a few of your posts on tumblr! I hope you're having a great time watching it. I myself decided to check the anime The Apothecary Diaries, and that's where my weekend went in its entirety.

i've been playing non-stop for about four years but i haven't even logged in for the last two weeks because i've been spending all of my time either playing Love and Deepspace or thinking about fanstuff for Love and Deepspace.

and i spend about $35 month on FFXIV for the subscription (i have a bunch of extra retainers at $2 a pop) that i'm not currently using. 

it feels weird to stop? i wouldn't say i'm agonizing over it, but i'm staring at the notification of upcoming payment and thinking.. i could save that money. i could shuffle that over into a different entertainment venue. i could give Sylus a towel!]]>
