News ; 02.

 Back at the beginning of June I posted this, saying I was working on recolouring a reasonable sized set. The set in question was Kativip's 'Violent Nightmare' (basically a strip club / bar). I deemed some of the meshes quite useful (particularly the three columns + three lounge meshes which were designed to sit along a wall), however, I have no plans to build a strip club / flashy bar in my neighbourhood so I decided to recolour them in some textures which were personally more useful (think woods, plaster and a few more subtle plush colours like blue).

After my exams were complete, I am ashamed I became quite disheartened by the large amount of textures I had already mashed together and wasn't looking forward to clicking them through SimPE. At the moment the set sits at:
- 11 armchair recolours,
- 11 barstool recolours,
- 33 column recolours (over 3 meshes + some hold two recolours in one file as it had two recolouring subsets),
- 3 curtain recolours,
- 21 floor painting recolours,
- 3 menu recolours,
- 11 padded stool recolours,
- 11 table recolours,
- 44 wall chair recolours (some hold two recolours due to two recolourable subsets).

I have 88 more wall chair recolours to push through for two separate wall colour meshes, plus I intended to make matching fence recolours (probably only around 5 though) and matching wall paper / flooring.  However, at the moment I am experimenting with making the wall chair mesh things slaved, so we'll see how that goes. They should be up in the next couple of days however. I've also recoloured a cute little pot from ATS2 + am doing some recolours of Simply Styling plants (I love plants!), which will be spread out over the coming days too. I'll leave you with some pictures.



The first column is the original, and the second is a combination of two different recolours, mostly to demonstrate the two different recolourable subsets (all three columns match).


Again, the first is the original.


Armchair, stool & a floor painting recolour. All the seating is retextured in matching textures, there is a selection of plain colours & a selection of plaid. The floor painting is recoloured in various ways, including some painted scenery, painted portraits (some include a demonic / haunted version) and some are recoloured to look like the back of a painting.

WIP; Dark Garden.

 
 
I think it's safe to say that Apollo's 'Secret Garden' set over at GOS is one of the most amazing garden sets ever. I'm always feel that there needs to be more content that matches it and this has lead me to my latest WIP. I'm using a similar theme (dark / rundown / overgrown) to recolour a selection of garden meshes (atm, I am recolouring Buggybooz ones). I'll probably use some of the textures that Apollo used as well. Here are just a two WIP pictures! If there are any mesh suggestions just post them in a comment and if they are in my power then I'll probably use them too!
