I've been working on this sim on and off for a few days now and I'm starting to think I'm losing ground. I feel like I've gone cross eyed and can no longer tell if she even looks similar anymore so I'd really appreciate some input and critique.

The first couple pics are to give you an idea what she should look like in case you don't know who Rihanna is.











Please tell me I'm on the right track. I'm getting sick of this sim. LOL!

Edited with more pics:

Wow...headed in the right direction for sure! I think her profile is PERFECT! I'm a little stuck on her face...just something off, but I can't put my finger on it although you are nearing a wonderful likeness! Rihanna has like a 'lollipop' head, so you captured that perfectly, but she is a bit more 'big boned' as far as size. Her butt is a great shape and size but I think her shoulders need to be a bit wider. She also has some juicy thighs so maybe it's more cosmetic than actual contouring her face. Just my op of course...much better than I could EVEN try to do myself! Don't give up!!

It's that "something off" that is bothering me. LOL! I'm happy to know it's not just my imagination.

I appreciate your opinion and fresh eyes - thank you. I'll tweak her body a bit, as you suggested, and post some more pics later. Hopefully I can figure out along the way what the "something" is.

Glad I could help!!

I think she needs a tad of eyebags of tifas....JMO and her eyes are a bit more squinty in real life...so i think if u did that she would be pretty dead on...

Dachshundsr4me - you're probably right.
I edited her shoulders, thighs, waist, hips, upper body and face. . . . . . . and now her eyes.
Ok, yeah, I pretty much retweaked all of her.






















So. . . . . . am I any closer?
LOL!

What skin are you using? I believe Capital Sims Skin will look great on her. I used this on my Kelly sim on here.

i cant see the pictures because my computer is taking forever to load it. i want to see it. dang thing lol

I don't think it's your computer Stevielee, it seems the forum is moving kinda slow today. I had no problem last night with pics just popping up, or any other day for that matter, but today it's extremely slow. I will check the main forum and see if it's something going on...they may be doing something to the overall system or the server.

Pdx...WoW!!! Just wow!! You have really tweaked her...great job!!!

wow. sure looks like her ! pretty mad skills !

Looking at those 2 new CAS pics, I think her looks are right on the money!!
Awesome job on simifying Rihanna!!

Thank you everyone for the compliments and opinions.

Sleepy-Genius: She was made with Navetsea's Hot skin. It's rare I use anyone elses skins but I'll download the skin you suggest and see how it looks on her. I tried 3 different of his skins on her and the Hot skin looked the best though that was at the beginning - maybe now, after all I've edited, she may look better with a different skin.

I'm pretty happy with how she looks now though I still feel like she's missing something that would bring it all together. Other than trying different skins I think I'm going to just put her aside for the weekend. Usually if I give something a few days I can figure out what I missed once I go back again.

Thank you all for the input. Y'all are awesome!

Wow, really impressive. Looks just like her.

Ok, after trying several different skins, I finally settled on Lady Frontbums and I am finally happy with how she looks. I think the skin brought everything together.

If anyone would like to download her, I just uploaded her: http://www.cstylessims3forum.com/t4535-rihanna#48974

Thanks again for all your help and opinions.
