Farbauti watches his partner quietly, his silence much like the cold crystals that fall gently upon their heads and shoulders, kissing already frozen flesh. Laufey has been too quiet with these staggering months of war. 

“As a little one, my dame would tell old stories of these mountains,” Farbauti starts, waiting for Laufey’s response. When given none, he proceeds. “From Ymir the world was created. From his blood the ocean, his bones the hills, hair the trees, brains the clouds, and from his skull came the heavens. His blood runs in all children of ice. With one who holds so much strength, we must find ours...to overcome this destruction and reclaim our homeland.” Laufey snorts, briefly glancing over to the broader male.  

“Our forces are dead and scattered. The casket stolen, and my power questioned by my people. Strength alone will not turn the tables in my favor.”

“But it will give us hope.”

“Hope? You honestly believe hope will save our people from the blades of the Aesir? That it will keep our young from succumbing to sleep during the darkness, nevertheless feed their starved frames! Hope is nothing.” Farbauti steps down, despite his urge to say more. Laufey’s shoulders are squared, posture rigid and tense. Holding his breath, he steps closer, their shoulders barely touching. 

I have now resorted to creating my oc characters instead of hunting down people who kind of look like them.

This picture has a lot of flaws, and is not perfect. I am only trying to improve my editing skills so I can work on my sims portraits.

Tried editing a photo of my Thorin. I’m not very good at it, but meh. So ready to put him in Erebor. Not sure how bad the quality is. c:

I tagged people who I know some of the cc is from. Makeup I have no idea.

Omg hiya, so I know it’s been like FOREVER since you asked this probably. I went on a LONG ass break. But I will GLADLY take pose requests right now! 

I can do as many sims as you want in a pose, and I don’t really think I have any restrictions. Just give me about one - two weeks to finish them all because I’ve been pretty busy, but I can def make time for them c: 

hi love! i’m not sure how much knowledge of tsrw/milkshape you have so i’m gonna presume you have the plugins and basic know how and stuff and just tell you the basics real quick and then if you have any questions/need more details or pictures or anything please just let me know ok cos i’m always happy to help! :D (but also please remember that i have like the most basic knowledge of this lmao so if something goes wrong i will probs be like ;_; idk) (i am probably the worst person to ask lmfao i just muddle through everything until it works because i have the attention span of a fish but i will help to the best of my abilities ok ;_;) basically, you need to get the mesh, so open your original hair file in tsrw and extract the mesh, then import it into milkshape. you’ll need the mannequins for sizing from here (under ‘other stuffs’)  so open the child/toddler one of them too (i just used the heads and scalps) and then basically under the ‘groups’ tab you need to select your hair group so it glows red, move it down so it’s at the same height as the model head and then you need to go onto the model tab and choose scale and from there for me it’s a matter of trial and error. adjust the X Y and Z values and see what happens, change them up until the hair looks right and then go to joints. there should be a big long list of bones there! make sure your hair mesh is still selected and glowing red and if it’s a short hair (i.e. above the shoulders), scroll down and select a joint called ‘HeadNew’ (it’s called like b_HeadNew or something i can’t remember specifically) and click assign! if it’s a long hair it’s gonna be more tricky and i will probably avoid venturing down that path ever lmao but in case you want to convert a long hair i’m gonna point you to this tutorial because it looks really helpful! now you can export your mesh as a TSRW file. start a new TSRW project and this time clone a base game toddler hair, when that opens, go to the mesh bit and import your edited mesh and voila! your conversion should be there! :3 it might take a couple of goes to get the scale/heights exactly right! if you want me to do a more in depth tutorial please let me know ok i’m honestly happy to do it! i just wanted to answer your question so you’re not waiting forever and ever for an answer ;_; i hope this helps a little bit ok, like i said just let me know if you need help <3

I can do it for all ages. For the skin I found this where you see more or less the whole body, okay?
