(download!) rainbow stitch zombie default

[furbyq]

so, zombies are fun. but no zombies that currently exist are weird enough, so i made my own. we'll pretend i haven't been working on this and my other skins for like a year and a half.





so these use my Upcoming Super Skin as a base and therefore have a few new, hand-painted facial features.



most of the zombie details are hand-painted as well! including the organ window and the rainbow stitching. that's why they look clunky and functional rather than finessed and accurate. XD

the only thing that was not hand-painted was the wound on the cheek, under the stitching. that was a wound vector.



thanks to the incredible transparent zombie mod that midgethetree made, i was able to make the blue part of the skin transparent. the reattached limbs are fully opaque, and the sewn-on skin patches are slightly see-through so that the stitches would blend better.



the reattached leg works with both blockfeet and sexyfeet, although there are a couple of teeny stray pixels on the sexyfeet one. >.<



the zombie default also includes hand-painted button eyes and cracked teeth. i've also included optional blush masks for the eyes and teeth, if you'd like to give apply them to non-zombie sims!

i tried reimporting the (crystal clear in photoshop) textures through simpe multiple times, but some of the details are still mildly crunchy. the skinless (left) hand is probably the most crunchiest but i still liked it. ;~;



i tried to make the neck stitching go all the way around, but it was too difficult to get the stitching to match up. so there's stitching on the front of the neck and back of the neck, but a decapitation mark that goes all the way around.



the scalp also includes some detail! i was originally going to sew a smiley patch into the brain, but i absolutely couldn't navigate the scalp's geometry to do so. it's very distorted.



(after)



(before)

i chose to do 50% opacity on the blue parts of the skin, so there is some very obvious color change. i tried lower opacities, but they seemed very washed out on paler skintones.

other notes.
the file package is NOT renamed from midge's original. mainly because it stopped working when i tried to rename it. i also did not compress the default. i'm honestly just, scared to touch it now that i have it working, lol.

I love this skin but I don't want it as a default. Any change of having it as a custom skintone?
Anyway, it looks really awesome!

i don't currently have plans to make a custom version of the skin. sorry! since the default doesn't have younger ages, i don't have the textures needed for them, so it's not a simple copy/paste. you may have luck somewhere like garden of shadows' wishing tree. :>
