Hey, guys! Long time no see. I have just a bit of an update. Remember how I said I wanted to make a steampunk salon so long ago? I know I had images that served as an inspiration, but I managed to come up with something I quite like.
This is what I've come up with on the outside. Its sort of got that whimsical/supernatural look to it, which I like. I may darken up the brick or even change the siding completely because I haven't really seen what it would looks like in Midnight Hollow and I'd like it to look nice there for obvious reasons. I've changed it just slightly, since I took this picture. The awning has been removed and I deleted the roofing decor just above it, but only because I used the hidden floor marker, so, for whatever reason, when you go up and down the floors, that decor doesn't always show. It was just a hassle, so I opted to get rid of all three.
I've been extra slow on the inside, partly because it took me a week to make three clothing pedestals that feature steampunk for both genders and all the age groups (very hard to do!), but also because I'm having a hard time coming up with the layout and look for the inside. I know you cannot see it here, but the lot is 20 X 20, and the building itself is mostly square other than those two corners you see in the front of the picture. I wanted to create a cute little storefront so you can see the makeup, shampoo bottles, perhaps the clothing pedestals from supernatural, ambitions, and The Prism Art Studio to give it some realism.
I'm probably just thinking about it too much and just need to move forward. I've been in a standstill on this for the last few days. What do you guys think so far? Do you have any suggestions on how to bring this lot to life, spruce up the outside? o:)
Unrelated, but I obviously have changed to imgur. This is my first post there. I'm wondering if there's a way to copy the image over here, so I don't have to link to that site? :s -- TY, Rosemow!
