Carlos Solis - Gaby's hubby in Desperate Housewives

[Audrey]

Yikes, you would think he would be easy to do. Not so. I am not happy with his facial hair, so if anyone with CTU skills cares to take a bash at revamping the EA hair, I would be eternally grateful.

Anyway, here's Carlos.

The nose needs a lot more mass added to it, and and bridge needs moving, also the tip of the nose is too large, make it smaller. The eye lids need to be lower in the outer apex of the eye. Good luck, nice start :)

The facial hair looks good--very similar to what the actor has. The shape of the face is also very good. The nose could be a little flatter but the tip could use more definition. The nostrils should be a little higher and larger. Good job there.

He's a good start! In addition to the above, I'd say his jaw needs to be just a touch wider/squarer, cheeks just a bit fuller, eyebrows a bit more curved and eyes just a bit smaller. Carlos is my fave Desperate Husband, so will be looking forward to this!

Looks so good!

[SimmyRN]

Great start! Turn the sim's ears out a bit and they will be closer to the model's.

Okay, I did the suggested tweaks as far as I was able. Couldn't bring the outer ends of the brows down any further without distortion.

I wish I had a better beard as I think that is pretty much what is preventing him from looking just like Carlos. What do you all think?

Where is Simmiller when you need her with the green lines?

Hi, I think you need to use Bella's jaw slider, that seperates the jaw from the chin a bit more.
Outer eyecorner needs to come down.
His eyebrows need to be further apart, but sometime that isn't easy to get the right shape and distance in the same brow.
Think his cheekbones might need to be a tad higher, but see what others think.
I like Kittyklan's blush (http://www.kittyklan.com/grooming) seems to give the face a bit more depth or something... more realistic. (I use Hi-Def for the men, sometimes the women too... :) )

KittyKlan beard/stubble (http://www.kittyklan.com/grooming?page=1) you might want to check these out.

Hi, I think you need to use Bella's jaw slider, that seperates the jaw from the chin a bit more. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
Outer eyecorner needs to come down. IT IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION - HE HAS THESE LONG EYELASHES WHICH COME DOWN OVER HIS EYES MAKING HIS EYES 'LOOK' MORE SLOPING THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE.
His eyebrows need to be further apart, but sometime that isn't easy to get the right shape and distance in the same brow. CAN'T DO IT. THESE ARE THE ONLY AND THE BEST BROWS THAT ARE AROUND FOR HIM AND UNFORTUNATELY NOBODY HAS MADE A SLIDER FOR THE BROWS TO WIDEN THEM HORIZONTALLY.
Think his cheekbones might need to be a tad higher, but see what others think. OK
I like Kittyklan's blush (http://www.kittyklan.com/grooming) seems to give the face a bit more depth or something... more realistic. (I use Hi-Def for the men, sometimes the women too... :) ) I HAVE USED HER BLUSH ON JAMES AND NOT SURE THAT I LIKE IT BUT I'LL GIVE IT A TRY.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Carlos is pretty recognizable now but I think he's looking a little sad, did Gaby cheat again? Lol but I think you should play around with the eyebrow curve and maybe turn the mouth corners up a bit. Also here is another good front shot of his neutral face, http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091121131556/desperate/images/3/36/Carlos-Solis.jpg

Thanks Mickey and everyone. I have been neglecting old Carlos a bit. In fact, not really motivated to do much simming, but I will try to finish off the two DH husbands.

Okay, here is update. Please crit. Thanks.

He's coming along well! I'd say his skin needs to be a bit lighter, jaw a bit squarer and maybe just slightly lower, nose a bit smaller and more defined.

[lewjen]

I think his nostrils need to be a tiny little bit more defined from the rest of the nose (ie. move them uo a titch, make a teeny little smaller... or larger, experimnt).
But :O Seriosuly, this is exellent work!

[SimmyRN]

Very close! The main things I see are that the sim's eyes need to be wider - side to side. (There is more flesh showing beside the outer eye corner on the sim than the model.) Also, his nose should have less definition and the nasal bridge be indented more between his eyes.

[monca533]

Hi Audrey! I agree with SimmyRN and Lewjen about the nose and eyes and I think the skin tone could be lighter as Esmeralda said.
He is fantastic! Please, don't be unmotivated, you are a very, very good simmer! :bunny:

[Ellle]

Audrey, I think he's fine. But one thing - he needs longer eyelashes. Good job :up:
