“I Love You Just The Way You Are”
***
Creatives talk about the “journey”, and “creative processes” and techniques. We also have the tendency to stress over details and, unless one is particulary well-conditioned to leave well enough alone, we can be prone to over-work our pieces. We freely express what we’re not particular well-practiced in (“Oh, I’m just HORRIBLE at drawing HANDS!”).
Despite the fact that we have it drilled into our heads, “Don’t compare your work to others’!”, we still do it despite ourselves. We get swept up in realistic approaches to art, just as quickly as we get swept up into graphic, bold “styles.”
We have occasional accidents where we may spill in onto a piece that we have come SO FAR to finishing, only to end up trashing it because it’s beyond salvaging.
Hours and hours of digital work can be lost in a sudden program freeze, computer crash, or power outage, unless we have conditioned ourselves to compulsively hit the keyboard shortcuts to “Save” our work every two minutes.
We lose sleep trying to better ourselves, to meet deadlines, and make everyone happy. We feel guilty when we take five minutes to NOT draw something. Sometimes we feel like we’ve reached a plateau of skill–a lack of improvement. Everything looks awful We come upon “art blocks”, and suffer from burnout.
Art Stops Being Fun.
But one day, a few months ago, my sister texted me while we both were at work with an image, and a simple caption, “I did the thing.” I flipped out. I showed it to everyone around me–whether they cared or not–this magnanimous highlighter doodle of a triceratops that she did. …And, knowing the way she is, she probably did it in less than two minutes.
My sister isn’t much of an illustrator, or visual artist, despite having a very strong interest in fashion design for many, many years when she was younger. So, when she decides to draw ANYTHING, the WHOLE WORLD comes to a halt. For me, at least.
I told her, “You better bring this home, cuz it’s GOING ON THE FRIDGE.” And it’s been displayed there ever since, and probably will be forever.
I’ve kept all the art she’s done over the years.
Earlier this week, I scanned this gem, and I gave it a once over:
Torn upper edges where she ripped it out of the notepad…of ruled paper, of course…which scanned crooked, despite my efforts… A few splattered coffee stains. Lots of wrinkles.
I just sat there and smiled. I told myself, “No. No, there’s nothing wrong with this. It’s perfect.”
And thus, the piece had a name: “I Love You Just The Way You Are.”

shimmer face sparkle #1 & #2 ♡
hey everyone!! so i might not share it often on here, but i’ve been loving getting into sims 4 roleplay on instagram! for my sims, i’ve been using these highlighters that are similar to my face shines, but are applied on the blush layer and are more sparkly! i ended up deciding to give it a shot myself and these two are the outcome!
since i already have “highlighters” and “face shines”, i ended up deciding to call these new items “face sparkles”! i hope to one day make more since i’m obsessed with how they came out!
EARLY ACCESS: PATREON
PUBLIC ACCESS: april 9th, 2022
the usual information;
- bgc
- all frames
- all ages
- 7 swatches
- hq compatible
- custom thumbnail
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
- the initial swatches are very bright, as they are full opacity. at 100% opacity, they work well on paler skintones; however, if your sim has a deeper skintone and you want a more natural look, i highlyrecommend lowering the opacity!
- the first swatch (white) has all of the hue, saturation, etc sliders enabled; you can get virtually any color with these!
-IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON USING THIS IN BLENDER FOR RENDERS: due to the composition method i used to ensure it doesn’t pixelate on skin details, it won’t appear as bright in blender. there is a way to fix this, however it takes some manipulating of the diffuse map you get from simripper and the original diffuse of the face sparkle. essentially, what you’d have to do is go into sims4studio and open the .package file; from there, navigate to the swatch you want to use and under “TEXTURE”, click diffuse, and then export. then open the sims diffuse map that was exported when you saved your sim in simripper (make sure you exported in HQ textures for this to work properly!) in your chosen photo editing software (i use photoshop) as well as the face sparkle texture you just exported. copy the texture of the face sparkle and paste it on top of the simripper diffuse map. you may need to use a shortcut to make sure it pastes in the correct position (in photoshop, this shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+V). then save the simripper diffuse map with the exact same name it had. now when you import your DAE into blender, it will have a brighter swatch! of course, this absolutely isn’t necessary, but it always bothered me that it wasn’t as bright as it was in game!
- due to the composition method and how they interact in game, this face sparkle will not work on top of alpha skins, only overlays. if you want to fix this, feel free to take the .package file into sims4studio and change the composition method on all the swatches to 0!

that’s all for now, i hope y'all enjoy! if there are any issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

I read the caption first before looking at the photo so I got super excited because rainbow highlighters and then I began imagining how wonderful it would look in my books, in my cases, in my codals, in my life…and then I realized it’s not what I thought it was.
