Robert Duvall, hopefully as Augustus "Gus" McCrae from Lonesome Dove
Hi, wanted to try Robert Duvall for a long time now. He has such character in his facial features and I think he is a wonderful actor and human being.
I hope we can get him where he needs to be, I know he has a long way to go, but I think we can do it.
I have put out a request for his clothing and hat.
I also have a request for his facial hair if anyone would like to make that for him, it would be greatly appreciated!
I will provide a side view for the next update!
Thanks everyone!
So, here he is... fire away, please. (he's in the top left corner)
I have also been using this pic... but I would really like him to look like the "Lonesome Dove" character... if we can get the right CC for him, if not ... I guess we can do him as himself.

So much of his character is in his face creases and age marks.
That being said......
His eye color should be darker more of a steel grey/blue
I think his head need to be wide and you should play with his cheek fatness and jowls.
Also the lip corner depth. His lips are very flat against his skin.

Wow, you picked a very hard person to sim. So much of his character is in his face creases and age marks. That being said...... His eye color should be darker more of a steel grey/blue I think his head need to be wide and you should play with his cheek fatness and jowls. Also the lip corner depth.

Thanks MurderPrincessK!
Worked with the cheek fullness and jowls... added more.
Took depth out of lips.
Here is the update:

Please, would anyone be willing to help in the making of "Gus"? He needs clothing and a hat, if possible. The EA hat really looks too big, in general. Facial hair that fits him, moustache that hangs down past the corners of his mouth and stubble. A few more wrinkles. If anyone is willing to help, YOU would be greatly appreicated!

It's hard to see with the moustache but his lips look just a tad bit thicker to me. I also think his nose is too defined and the tip/nostrils have too much space between them. Also maybe desaturate the eyes a little more. Is there a way to add lots and lots of wrinkles under the eyes? Good start!!! Age spots look good. |
Okay, I have tried to post this several times... trying again, seem to be having a problem on the site today, I think. Everything else is working fine.
Thanks Heaven!
Made lips thicker.
Took out some of the defination in his nose and thinned the space btwn nostrils.
Wrinkles:
Natural Lipcolor for Both Genders by Arisuka
Eye bags MEGAPACK - 8 styles!! by Arisuka
Subtle Wrinkles for Both Genders ***NOW AS AGE DETAIL TOO*** by Arisuka
I am using EA's Age Detail along with Arisuka's Age Detail.
I also changed the style of eyebags, maybe this will help. It's nice that Arisuka offers 8 to choose from.
(I am posting this and will edit and post the rest, had to start over too many times.)
I am also using
Face contouring and defining makeup by Arisuka
(nose and eyes)
I'm not sure if I need to tweak the color of the eyebag a little more or not, please let me know what you all think.
A little tweaking on eyebag color, etc. and widened his mouth.
Okay, is this any better at all?

I'd say that his nostrils need to be just a little wider, and maybe his eye colour should be more of a darker blue/grey. Also, play around with the eyebag colours, to make 'em less grey-ish =)

Woah, great resemblance you have here! The last version, with wider mouth, is the best! I'd say that his nostrils need to be just a little wider, and maybe his eye colour should be more of a darker blue/grey. Also, play around with the eyebag colours, to make 'em less grey-ish =) |
Thanks Astraea!
Tried to make the above changes.
Is this better?
Posting a better side view, so you all can help me.

His hair needs to be darker also, it has grey overtones, but needs a dark brown base.
You are coming along quite nicely on him, good work.

Also the mass is already a little over 1/4 of the way from the left. This widens the bridge, is this what you mean?

Yeah, his nose..His nostrils look right on to me. But his nose, especially the bridge seems to rigid, like the top is flat instead of rounded. You might just need to adjust the definition if the mass is already really high. I do think the bridge could use a little more width. |
Okay, thanks! Let me see what I can do. :P
Okay, I haven't worked on his hair yet. I want to see if I am headed in the right direction with his nose first.
Thanks MP!

He looks really good. The eyebags look great! I still think his hair needs to be more brown, like MP said. Also, I think there is something just a little off in the shape of his eyes. RL Duvall looks more cunning/kinda dangerous. Yours looks kinda sad. Maybe pull the outer corners up a little? Try to bring the height of the nose bridge down a click or two. I can't believe how good he looks though! |
Thanks Heaven!
Tried to make all of the above changes, but something is off... can't quite seem to get him there. Don't know if it is the eyes?
Nose? and I still don't have the mouth quite right either.
Hope you all have some ideas.
I was thinking his hair was more grey in "Lonesome Dove."
Guess I could show you more of his hair color...
UPDATE
Okay, here is the latest update.
( seems not too many of you are interested in this sim, but I could sure use some help here, please.)

Try to play around a little with the top eye apex slider, though... should be more curved, while the sim's top apex goes curved up to a certain point and then goes down in a rather straight line. Don't know if that makes sense
Also, maybe make the mouth a little less curved and add a slighly larger chin, maybe?

What have you done to the eyes... |
Lol, well, do you have any suggestions?
That's kind of how it goes, at least for me anyway. Too much of this or too little of that... and then hopefully one day... it all comes together! So, I hope you're not giving up on me yet!

Good work! I think you need to pull the nostrils up so that they show more, if possible, and make the nostrils a little less wide. From the profile it looks like you need to bring the eye sockets forward and the chin forward some. Congratulations on your sims recently posted! |
Thanks Simmy! Tried to make above changes.
Thanks for the congrats, couldn't have done it without you! :D

Made above changes.
Okay see what you all think here.... thanks guys!
He needs a moustache that hangs over and down the corners of his mouth... see if you all think one of these will work.

As for the mustaches, neither really fit the character. Of course EA doesn't give us the mustache that would have been perfect if he was for TS2!
I made a little free hand on your source vs your sim...just to demonstrate what I meant since I'm not sure if I expressed myself clearly. It's hard to describe those little details!!!

It looks like when you moved the bridge down it might have changed the shape of the nose (unless you did it yourself :giggler. Yours seem to dip in rather than hook out as it should. Is that understandable, lol? I also think his cheeks bones may be too low. I think there also needs to be the slightest dip between his lip and chin. It may be there but, if so, it is hard to see in your sim. See if you can make the eyes a little more almond shaped as well. As for the mustaches, neither really fit the character.

Tried to make the above changes and I'm not really ready to post this update but going to post anyway so that you all can jump in with suggestion while update is in process.
It is hard to see the indentation under the lip so I took a side view, straight on so that you can see clearly. It looks off thought and I am thinking the chin needs to be shorter, what do you think?
The nose... I think I am going to completely re-do the nose using a different preshape as I don't like the tip on this one, it should blend in better so I need to find another one, hopefully.
Yes the EA moustache in sims 2 would have been perfect!
See if this one and the stubble looks okay.
To me he has a bit of aFred Thompson look, so need to get rid of that, lol. I started his eyes over he has almond shape now, but I think I need to move the lower apex to the left to close the outer corner a bit, like the pic in the CBoy hat.
So, I am currently working on this sim so if you all see anything, jump in here please.
Thanks!
