all changed now! but quick question for future rounds - can we use other sims/characters in the background of the third pics?

So, here is Zara Ellington. She was born in-game in Sunset Valley and at 18 moved to Starlit Shores with her twin sister to pursue an acting career. At the young age of 19, Zara landed her biggest role yet - the lead role of Shadowstar in the brand new, upcoming movie, Hero Returns.

Hero Returns is set in a huge city full of hunger, crime and death. It is about a young girl who, at 18, discovers she has superpowers. As she goes about mastering these superpowers, she learns that the current mess of the city is infact a government secrect plan. A plan to wipe them out. She now knows how she can use her powers.
But, after all of the media and the leaders manipulating and brainwashing the public into thinking she is the cause of the problem, can she come back and take them down single handedly? Will she help to gain the public trust? Or will vengence take over causing her to wipe out the city, and the government, in one blow?

Yes, the scenery of the 3rd picture is completely up to you. Just remember - we need the Sim you are entering with in full height

ummm..... 3rd :P

megan_perry106, your pictures are very small, especially the first one. The minimum size should be 800x600 pixels, so at least one of the dimensions should meet before I could link your entry. For the first two pics we need to see your Sims face, no need to show the body in them

Boydy, your pictures don't show up. Did you check the image links? You also forgot to state the Sim's age.

Fantasy World
[Sorry if I mess up - I've never done this before! (:]
This is Aphrodite Oaklings. Growing up, she would always follow her mother around to photo-shoots - by the time she turned a young adult, she already knew what she wanted to be. A star. She wanted to bask in the limelight - at times, she acted nothing less than a diva. Fortunately, however, she had the power to back up her claims - after all, she was a young and charismatic natural born performer. She is 25 years old.




When her manager came to her with the script for Fantasy World, she knew this was the role for her. She could remember watching the first version of this movie as a young girl. She had fallen in love with one of the supporting characters, a fairy named Meadow. Meadow was a character full of spunk and extremely eccentric. Halfway through the movie, she interacts with the main characters and becomes allies with them against the Evils. At the end of the movie, she sacrifices herself for her allies.

Cailin Maher, age twenty, is of Irish descent and was born into a very close-knit family. Cailin grew up in rural Ireland and knew how to plant, grow, and sow vegetables before she was eight. When she entered secondary school, Cailin took an interest to the school’s stage in the auditorium. Instantly, she became immersed in the hobby of acting and auditioned for several school shows. Soon, she was making her way to small town stardom with all her lead roles. When it was her last year at secondary school, before college, Cailin was greeted with a plethora of talent agents at her very last performance. Smitten with her acting skill and her physical design, the talent agents booked her to be in various movies once she graduated.

Fantasy World

Cailin Maher plays Breanna O’Hare, a young girl who mistakes an ancient book of hymns for her book report book. Once home, Breanna opens the book and is instantly transported to a fantasy world where survival is of the fittest. When a group of rangers stumble upon the lost girl, they take her in and train her to become a fine ranger. Soon, the fantasy world is on the brink of war and Breanna is the prophesized sacrifice the Imperial Queens need to dominate all races. Determined to break her fantasy fate, Breanna tackles trial after trial to get the book of hymns back and to return to her home life.

SimmieGoddie your entry is now linked in the main post Also the judges will judge only 3 pictures, so I assume you want to receive the scores for the creative shot that is taken from closer distance, since the one that's zoomed out doesn't really let us see the Sim's details.

Alright guys - only one spot left! If megan_perry106 and Boydy won't update their entries in the next 24 hours, I will let someone else to fill their spots, since I can't link them as they are now.

EDIT:

Oops, I just noticed that liujiaxie's pictures are also way smaller than the required size. liujiaxie, pleas update your entry with big enough pictures (800x600 pixels or at leas with one of the dimensions big enough), before I could link your entry in the main post.

Editing right now~

They are edited now.

liujiaxie, your entry is now added to the main page

There's still one spot left!

Christen Locke is a 23 year old woman who has always aspired to become a world famous actress. From an early age, she relished the time she spent watching sims make characters come to life on the silver screen. Her supportive parents moved to Bridgeport when she was 10 to help her pursue this goal. With the boom on the industry, Christen was lucky to land walk on roles in day time TV but never got her big break...until now.


Flaenia Prentus was just your average tavern wench. She served mead and told stories to the local miners who came to quench their thirsts. Until, one day, a wandering bard came to her tavern and listened to her tales. He sat, in awe, of the yarns she spun with the tavern hanging on her every word. He knew that he must appropriate her gift for his own for no other way would he win the favor of the king. A festival was drawing near and all bards were welcome to weave their tales and have a bestowal of gold coins gifted to them. Antus Avidius had no chance to win on his own. At dawn's kiss, he stole Flaenia from her quarters and set off for Senarel, capital city of his kingdom. This is Flaenia's story; a tale of deception, thievery, and love. This is A Bard's Tale.

Lynwood "Timber" Mills
Age - 17
Lynwood was never a vampire from the beginning, but he was bitten by an enraged vampire that had cursed him to stay a vampire forever. Just as he was about to finish school his world was turned upside down when he transformed into the creature of the night, thus becoming the leader of the Dark Night Vampires.

I was just wondering that since we're allowed a collage for the regular mugshot if we're allowed to use one as an expressive facial in the collage? Such as one neutral frontal and one a bit more expressive?
