the Kalinka legacy [challenge] part 7


ARCHIVE: .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6
warnings: none

in part 6, the kids went to college & the first heir poll was posted


and here's the winner & heir, Poppy! the full results of the poll can be seen here :)




Cassius looks very happy about going to class..




















she's streeeeaaking in the rainn.. ♪









guess who just drank a love potion..?



such a charming smile!!.. pay no attention to the floating barn thing in the background :P..



i haven't used the matchmaker's services in a long time, so i think it's time for some INSTANT LOVE~





guy #1: noo...! bad matchmaker lady, that's one of my playable sims! i have other plans for his love life :(



guy #2: jackpot! :Db meet Harry Ornito (??? i have no idea), he's one of the townies i mass produced a while ago! THREE BOLTS. THREE.





Poppy's first kiss! & robot romance, awwawawww. i have a good feeling about these two, they're most likely gonna end up together for good.
...there's one thing about Henry that sort of worries me, tho: he's a romance sim as well! just think about it, two romance sims, settling down and building a family full of kids.. oh, the aspiration failures they'll have!



waterproof robots are the best..! :')



actually, make that SUPER waterproof.. ahem.







i was evil and decided to 'ruin' their dream date with horrible commitment!!



he accepted the proposal, phew. it was such a beautiful moment, their worst fears came true.. :DD











graduation time~ i forgot their final grades.. they were all pretty good, i think :x


and just like that, college is over! it's time to send the heir back to the legacy lot and continue things there :)
i haven't decided about the fates of the other Kalinka kids, but i'll post some updates about them at some point.

Harry and Poppy are very very sweet. :3

Btw how do you get your pictures so lovely and bright without the white blinding you? I'm experimenting with different settings in PS for my legacy but it's not going well, lol. D:

thank you!! :))

hmm, it's kinda hard to explain, but ill try:
i just add 1-3 overlay effect layers (http://x30.xanga.com/6b18432474738276522123/w220323504.jpg) on the image (screen layers work the same way)..
& if the image ends up too bright, i just take some of the layers off or erase parts of them. adding "negative brightness" (http://xf9.xanga.com/8118472a74738276522124/w220323505.jpg) (dunno what else to call it :-D) may also help making the white parts less bright.

Oh thank you! That helps a bunch. And thanks especially for the image examples. <3

I'll play around more with overlay and brightness settings then! :)
