🎨 Paintings Done By Your Future Parafolks
🕑 Added 2023-06-23 13:34:12 +0000 UTCHi there,
Alex here! Today’s post is all about the painting skill in Paralives.
A bit of context first. For those who remember, last summer, we organized a Hackweek within the team. This is a special week where each member of the team can choose a project of their own to develop and complete in 5 days. Well, it was the second edition of the Paralives Hackweek last week and many great projects came out of it! I can’t wait to show all the cool things we made, starting today with Sonia’s Hackweek which was all about drawing illustrations for the paintings that your Paras will be able to create in the game! This post is for Patrons only so please don’t share it, thank you!
💌 Quick note: We signed and sent all 600 postcards to Patrons on the Hero and Legend tier this week! You should receive yours within the next few weeks, depending on where you are in the world!
The whole team signing lots and lots of postcards (oops, Andrei is out of the frame, sorry)! It’s always a fun couple of hours when we do that.
Let’s get back to our main topic for this post: paintings 👩🎨
Maggie will be the Parafolk who will be trying her hands at painting today.
At first, Maggie needed some practice and went for some sketches. Chloé created an easel that will be used for Parafolks who want to paint.
After having increased her skill level, Maggie went for a more challenging project. We have created a special automated animation that makes images appear overtime while the character paints. However, the animation of characters painting with a brush is still to be created by Alice.
Lastly, Maggie went for a beautiful and watery scene with ducks which is always a great subject for any painting, if you ask me.
Maggie is all done for today and she’s pretty happy with the results! I think she’ll be hanging these around her house or she might even try to sell one of them!
Sonia created a lot more illustrations, in different shapes, sizes and styles that your Parafolks will be able to do in the game:
Many more paintings are still to be created and added to the game. Modders will easily be able to add new ones as well.
It was a really good moment for me to see all of Sonia’s paintings coming to life inside the game and I hope you will enjoy watching your own Parafolks becoming artists!
Have a great weekend and take care 🍎✨
Alex

Will there also be paintings done by Paras, who aren't as good in paintings (yet)? I was thinking about more sketchy or even just really bad paintings :D

Wow These Look amazing! I cant wart to leg my Paras paint! I do paint in real life so having this in the game makes me sooo happy!!

That might be a bit difficult to create but how about letting the Parafolks paint in different styles like with their bare hands and feet or with the paintbrush in their mouths? I've seen an artist jumping around in front of their painting and throwing paint on it instead of using a paintbrush. Doing that in Paralives too would be awesome!! <3

These paintings are amazing!! It would be awesome to be able to import custom images to paint like what was available in the sims 2 at some point!

Way to go Sonia! I feel like creating different works of art is no small feat, but doing them in different styles is really really impressive. You are very talented Sonia. 🤩

these are GORGEOUS. i hope we may also see other art aparatus that is more familiar and accessible to most of us IRL, like paper/sketchbooks, a digital drawing pad, and a desk easel as well. After all, as an artist it always feels a little weird for the in-game art that is clearly sketches/gestures/figures or otherwise pencil or crayon based to be done on huge pricy canvases. the desk easel would simply be an interesting visual difference, and would allow to create narratives surrounding characters who cannot stand in front of a traditional easel for hours (even if the game itself does not have other means of disability rep); would look more in place in small builds where it is apparent there is not room for storing a full easel; could perhaps be portable.

The paintings are incredible!!! Hope they could draw or do coloring books as well

I like them a lot! 👍♥️♥️ I'm also excited to see the beginner level works: stick men, rough paintwork, wonky proportions and so on. :D
Hannah Moody-Goo
Amazing! I love these!

I love all of these!!! In my current legacy save my youngest sim is an artist and I was just thinking the other day what para’s paintings would look like, and I am not disappointed! Great job Sonia 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎨

The more I see, the more I love! This is fantastic and you should all be very proud of yourselves.

The block fruit painting! Loving it ❤️

Painting is actually one of my FAVORITE activities in the other game. That is probably because I cannot even make a decent stick-person in real life!! ;-( I cannot wait to be able to paint in Paralives and to see my para develop their skills. These paintings are AMAZING and you should all be proud!! You did a phenomenal job, Sonia!!
