Carrie Underwood

[mickeymouse254]

Putting my 2012 Taylor on the shelf, I wanna start a new sim, here's the rough draft of Carrie Underwood.

Here is another update.

[SimmyRN]

Great start! Can you narrow the face and jaw? Maybe, raise jaw a bit. Nose needs to be shorter with tip turned down. Tilt outer corners of eyes up a little. Maybe soften nose definition some. A little more yellow in the hair, possibly. Mouth shape/color and eye color look spot on!

[Audrey]

Hi Mickey, good start.

Can you find eyes which have a reflection in them as her eyes look a bit 'dead'
You've got the nose down pat in the first post.
Sim's jawline needs to be closer to edges of her mouth \ / i.e. slimmer, it is a bit too thick at the mo.
Move the outer eye corners up a bit.

Oh, rather use the first pic of Carri.e

Nice update! I think the eyes may need to be a bit smaller in scale and the inner corners come down a little. Mouth and facial sculpt look good to me. The biggest problem I see is the nose. Is there a nose mask? If so, perhaps work on blending it more as there's an odd coloration around the nose. If not, decrease the definition? The nostrils look good, there's maybe a little too much mass at the tip, the nasal bridge might need to move up and the nasal bridge be narrower. It's hard to tell, though, because of the "grafted on" effect around the nose.

Theres no nose mask but I think I know what your talking about and I think I know how to cover it up :)

Those contacts aren't working for your sim unfortunately. I would change it to something that has more shine and definition, and also make the pupil bigger. At the moment they're a little dead looking, which is creepy. :S
The nose is spot on, by the way!

[ameenah.n.y]

I agree about the contacts. Since I've installed aWT's eyeball sliders (which I see you also use) I've refrained using certain pairs of contacts on some sims because they lack a catch light. The overlay the game normally generates that creates a shadow and circular highlight is removed by the eyeball sliders. You'll be surprised how much a highlight in the eyes can make a difference. Fortunately there are plenty of contacts with their own painted highlights. All of Shady's contacts include painted highlights.

I think the nose is spot on as well. With the way many of the sliders work - I think trying to decrease the mass or narrowing the bridge will alter the whole nose too much. Carrie DOES have a rounder broader nose and I think you've matched it well.

She is looking really good.

Please go back to what her nose looks like in Post #5
Lower lip could be more rounded and not so square at the bottom.
Reduce her jawline (not her jaw) so that her chin is more pointy.
Not sure why you have highlighted the area underneath her eyes and nose.
Bring her outer eye corners up a bit.

[mickeymouse254]

Heres another update :)

[JAKINCOL]

I LOVE THE LOOK OF YOUR SIMS!!! They are looking GREAT!!!!!

[mickeymouse254]

Heres another update for yall :)

[SimmyRN]

To be honest, I think she looked closer in post # 10. There, the nose needs to be be shortened / moved down, and the nasal bridge moved down / nose less defined. Otherwise, the only other changes I see in that post are to make the bottom lip slightly less thick top to bottom. Possibly move the outer eye corner up a bit and make the chin a little "pointier", if you can. Her lip shape, eye shape, and the rest of her face shape look spot on to me in # 10. Your choice, of course. Good work!

WHat I see now is, I need to lower the nose mass, wider jaw, eyebrow curve, nostril definition

[Leona Raghnall]

This is totally nitpicky, but is there some way you could throw up a hairstyle that is pulled away from her face, there is something that is bugging me, but i can't figure it out. Carrie, for lack of a better word sims really small in proportion *that makes no sense, Im sorry* I'll be more helpful if i can see with there hair pulled back, I promise..

Can you rotate her nostrils a bit, because her nose tip and nostrils area appears a bit too high up. If it's possible, her eyes should be green near the circumference and brown in the center. Also, I think it would be better if she had eyeliner on her bottom eyelids as Carrie does in the pictures. Good job! :)

Can you lower the vertical width of the eyes, and i suggest giving her a tan, her skin is more golden :D Good job, she is looking great!

[nonstopsims]

One thing that I noticed about Carrie Underwood is the shape of her brows. In real life, her brows get substantially narrower towards the end.

Here's another eyebrow look for her:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXTvmMBZrWY/TI4xb0W1JwI/AAAAAAAALpk/IXrR3xBByeM/s1600/carrie_underwood_olay.jpg
Notice how they start off as thick and then get narrow and form a nice curve.

Maybe find some shorter brows for her? I think that would make a big difference, for the better.

I think these eyebrows would be perfect for her (don't worry, this is a free item from a free creator):

New update :)

[Leona Raghnall]

she is REALLY close, I think her chin needs to come down just a smidgen! Great job!! Can't wait to DL her!

[ameenah.n.y]

Yay, the brows look great. She's looking really good.

Are you using LFB Velvet? Have you tried Naughty & Nice or Silk on her as well? I wonder if they'll match the look of her nose a bit better.

[SimmyRN]

I think that the lips need to come up just a touch, then chin/jaw be adjusted to compensate. Thin the nasal bridge just a bit. If you can leave the nostril width but make the nose tip a bit smaller, it would help. Eye shape and eyebrows look good to me. The sim has white / pale pink patches under her eyes. Is that the eyeshadow? Can you make it blend more with the skintone? Lips and eye color look spot on. Good work!

I think I might upload her soon, what do you think?

[Telishathompson]

She looks great Mickey! I would try out different skins as it seems the one you are using is off.

I suggest Buffy's Non-default skin: http://therewasnothingleft.tumblr.com/post/20002829992/i-made-another-skin-tone-and-included-one-of-the

[mickeymouse254]

Ive been working on her for a while, Im about to upload her, so any last suggestions?

http://i50.tinypic.com/2wod5og.jpg

[heaven]

I think she looks really good. Nose septum could be thinner and brows could be curved a little more. She's definitely come a long way since the beginning.

[nonstopsims]

Wowee, that skin is perfect for her! She looks amazing, you have done such a wonderful job on her! The only thing i can think of right now is rotate her eyebrows a little more so their inner corner will be closer to the eye socket.

Here's what I mean: http://www.musicpicture.net/image/carrie-underwood-6.jpg

[mickeymouse254]

Alright, just finished her up and uploaded. Fingers crossed!

[Audrey]

Her eyes need to be closer together. Like in post #31. She has lost the great resemblance you had there.
She is very pale.
The skin is much better.
Hair could be a bit more golden.

Oh, I didn't see you had uploaded her. Good luck.
