Tucsoncoyote here- Now a lot of folks have been wondering where i have been for the past year.. and well to be honest, Here's the sitch (as Kim would say): I've been rather busy cranking out art in all sorts of Media, From 2D concept drawings to 3D renderings, and tonight I'm going to show a bit of what a little 3D game called Sims 2 Can do..(If you have the patience. Attached below is perhaps a Year's worth or Work, known only as Project Shego of my Larger Project KP. (What is Project KP you ask? It's my attempt to try and get Kim Possible Characters into a Sims 2 world (either Heroes or Villains or just plain Characters). And for the last year I've been fiddling around with my fave character that I tend to Like (Namely Shego)-- Little did i know that it was going to take me a year to understand the concept (but in just the last few weeks I've been making breakthrroughs in the way to "Skin" a character (this is what you get for reading Tutorials and trying to understand all concepts. So here it is.. The first Version of the Shego suit (what I like to Call Version 2.0, because someone else tried and failed Miserably to create such a character.. But this suit is closer to the usual Shego Reference material I could grab (and I'm still tweaking the model so this is just a first peek: but here it is.. Shego's Suit Version 2.0 so what's Next for me? A lot of stuff. Next up I'm still working with Shego but comes the skin tones in all of this mess and I'm working on that as we speak So stay tuned.. I'm just getting warmed up in this. Also One final note: Please feel free to give feedback, after all I've got the concept of skinning down pat just need to "Tweak" this I feel, and once I get a good model together, it'll be time for me to put this up for all those Sim 2 Players.. but until then.. this is just an experiment. Nuff Said. Tucsoncoyote--

Looks awesome! Very accurate.
I enjoy Sims2 and have tried this on a personal, amatuer, failed level.
Let us know where the project KP stuff is when done

About time somebody did get the suit right, seen the skin textures everywhere though.

thank you for the comments. and yes this took a years worth of work (though in the last couple of months, since I have now time on my hands, i decided to read up on how to color/paint skins and got my last good breakthrough in the last 7 or so days. As for the skin tone? Well if someone would like to point me to one of those then the skin is the next thing.. But perhaps the hardest thing that will be is perhaps the hair..(I've found some meshes on some 'paysites' (Read as "Thesimsresource.com" but even though it's close it's no perfect match. (In fact the hair is going to be the hardest part of this set.. Now as for other KP projects.. well Here's a few I've been thinking of. First off we definitely need some outfits for Kim (hey I don't mind the cargo pants and the mission shirt but then again you got other outfits to try.. (Including a white and blue Battle suit). but then there 's a lot of outfits. as for Characters? Well SSS seems a viable candidate next as he would be a bit of an elderly man with those light touches of grey.. but his usual clothes might be tricky.. but Like I said, anything really is possible provided anyone has the patience (and the time) to do this. but stay tooned , cause I'll be working something up in the next few days.

You are way off Nabusan, sorry but what you are saying is what we popularly call an understatement. This is MORE than a work of art, actually I dunno if the english vocabulary has any words that fits it, if anybody knows then speak up. I have tried messing around with the Sims (I love taking games apart and changing a few aspects) and when I saw this I almost fell off my chair... This has a lot of work and art involved, I cannot comprehend how much research time, color mixes, line drawing thats involved here but it is a lot... I am astonished and lack the proper words at the moment.

great pic well done Well first off again thanks for all the compliments, and second, this isn't a picture, but rather, a 3D model of sorts (The Sims 2 is a game that uses 3D characters, so I figured , what would Shego Look like in her jumpsuit (Complete with Leg Holster) in 3D.. of course Like John said this took a lot of work, a year's worth of trying and experimenting with The Sims 2 Body shop (which comes with the game I might Add!) and it's only been in the last few days/Weeks when it all finally came together.. But then I've got even more news... Do you folks out there know that this was done by a person who is considered by most to be 'Legally blind?' (yes I'll admit that I have very poor vision. Can't drive a car, hardly get out, so what's a guy to do? Easy.. Do art... and for good reason. After all Art Eases the stress of life and tends to keep you calm and more focused. plus you get a creative sense of accomplishment. So really folks take a good long look at this model.. this is just the beginning as I am still fiddling with it.. (The Shoulderbands I admit are a bit thick IMHO, but in the end, I think this will be a very good model indeed.. Now if I can find someone to mesh some Hair for her and I think we got a winner..(yes everyone wins here as I share a lot of my materials. Anyway back to work, Tucsoncoyote--

Looking good, think for skin check out Modthesims2 and look for any green skinned characters. (what I did, think using a skin for Green Lantern Jade (rip)

Okay now here's a good question.. and this is for those Shego folks..
What do you think Shego's outfit is made out of? I have really talked to a few people and some say PVC Latex others suggest Spandex and yet others suggest would you believe Carbon Fiber Kevlar (which has a Snake skin like texture yet fine enough to be almost smooth looking ..)
so then folks what should we use?
Edited Note: It seems that Neoprene is the choice so far for the use, but if there are other ideas let's hear them.
