    This post's a twofer.

    First up: the manticore battle.

    I was having a heck of a week with governmental administrative nonsense trying to iron out disability supports for my younger kid, and absolutely nothing was going well or intelligently. So I admit when the Easter weekend freebie codes netted me this fabulous manticore, a little art therapy was first to mind.

    Because Grace is about how I felt about that whole thing, and it really would've been nice to have an Ethan come launch himself off a meaphorical fire escape and at least ground the darned problem for me. (It could just as easily have been Kira, except I didn't have the patience for getting her hair right. So Ethan it was.)

    I'm not in love with Grace's pose, but I was getting frustrated with trying to fix it as everything I did seemed to make it worse. For the number of winged foes and the amount of armor in the store, you'd think there'd be more pose packs for brave warriors going up against flighted dragons, at the very least, but no.

    Second picture just kind of... happened.

    I was going to do something with Grace in the Graffiti Vignette I just picked up, so I was looking for a good walking pose.

    And then I found that one, which in the picture has the cat in it.

    And then I went "oh, well if there's a cat, I really need to get Kira in here."

    But once Kira showed up, the entire composition changed. I still really liked what I had, though, so I ported it over to Grace's bedroom and gave her a homey moment with her cat as a sort of apology for the manticore thing. And also because it was finally a chance to show off that half of her bedroom, which I worked stinking hard on.

    Not a heroic fight against a dragon poses set, and maybe you already have it, but I got this one for the 'chicken' pose laugh (I have yet to use though):

    You likely spent more time placing everything in this virtual room that you would doing the same in a real room (at least you don't fight with the camera in the real world blush) but the result looks great: what you're showing feels like a place lived in.

    Did you use this recently released script by Totte, or did you placed everything manually?

    It is great.... I've got that one on my WL but nothing in it's anything I need yet.

    Oh I made this thing months ago, so yeah, everything was manual. I do have that script WL'ed for when it fits into my budget! 

    I'm glad it got the result I was after, though. My rule is that everything in their living space has to be there for a reason and have a story behind it. Like the ducks... Kira won them for her at a school fair when they were kids. Grace is not lucky at carnival games, but Kira is freakishly good at them. And Grace likes silly little fun things like that, so Kira decided she was going to have an ENTIRE RAINBOW of ducks. And also a grey one, because Minnesota is the only state that plays "Duck, Duck, Grey Duck" instead of "Duck, Duck, Goose" -- and Grace's House colors are grey and black -- so at this point it's a running joke.
