Title: Silver Screen Siren: Marilyn Monroe (2 versions)
Post by: Jessica on August 29, 2006, 11:13:57 AM
I am working on making Silver Screen Sirens (http://silverscreensirens.com/) and the first one I decided to make would turn out to be a very difficult one.

Now before you complain that she doesnt look like her at all, make sure you click the pictures to make them bigger/clearer....look at the pictures I based it on and then look at the sim version.

If you've been living under a rock for 50 years and have no idea who Marilyn Monroe was :lol: , or if you'd just like to learn more about her, click HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe).

There are 2 versions here:
#1 is a softer Marilyn as seen in one of the black/white pictures...I just loved how she looked in that picture
#2 is the starlet version from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", although I personally don't like that look, I figured you guys might.

I don't see why you keep fretting that the sims might not look like them. You are doing such a wonderful job :D Love that dress too. it's just like the picture!

Alot of times when i make celebrity sims people complain and say they don't look like them because it's not exactly them, well it's not going to be unless i photoskin them lol but I do try to get them as close as possible in bodyshop...sometimes once they hit the game though they look a little different but I can't do anything about that either...

I loved that picture of marilyn, she looked...dare i say it...happy...and the dress wasn't slutty or anything like most of the ones she was wearing in other pictures...it just looked like something "normal"


I'm glad you guys like her...I've seen alot of people try to make her and yet their sims didn't really look like her...and I thought if i tried, it wouldn't look anything like her either...but she turned out ok, not perfect but ok :)

*pants* Some DO like it hot!  I love Marilyn!  I have an old commercial I found somewhere with her selling motor oil (of all things), and in it, you can tell that she was starting her downward spiral...it's a shame that no one else seemed to see it, or chose to ignore it.  The world lost a great talent and a beautiful person when Norma Jean died.
