Hisashiburi ne?

I haven't posted to this community in a while, but I come back with some good news for Simmers. I'm currently hard at work at creating Allen Walker for The Sims 2, and at the moment I have made his scar, eyes, a top, and I just sort of took some hair that looked like his already. The thing that's waiting on him is a custom skin for his crowned clown. (Yeah, I know it's genetic but I worked something out.)

I'm sure this has been asked before, but does anyone have good pictures of Allen's unactivated crowned clown?
Edit: Thanks guys! I have everything I need and a Sim Allen will be posted ~~either tomorrow or the day after~~ sometime this week. I just finished making holy marks, but since it's rather late, I'll post it ~~tomorrow for you all.~~
Edit of Edit: I lied. X.x I forgot the site I'm uploading it to requires a mod's approval. I will post it as soon as it is approved! Promise!

Peace out :D

These are the pics I have so far...
(The best pic of his back I found. It rose more questions than answers.)

(The next two are especially confusing..)

I'm sorry I can't help you... with the pictures or the characters uploaded. But Allen's back... is there like some sort of distinguishing scar or something? Becuase I don't remember ever having seen anything like that before... I thought his back was pretty much scar/markless. Argh, I'm no help - sorry.

Definitely, though, I'm interested in seeing your Allen!

I've come by a couple of people who've made their own Sims 2 D.Gray-man characters and played out a story (with the characters looking pretty good too!) but none who have actually uploaded their characters. :(

Well I specifically meant the back of his arm and his shoulder blade, as there are what appears to be marks from his innocence there. I haven't been able to get a clear shot. Sorry for not being clear.

I also came across some people who personally made Sims 2 D. Gray-Man characters. Then I found a download of Allen that didn't work (and according to the comments section, never did) and a Leenalee download that required expansion packs I didn't have. I also found a download of Allen's curse, but it didn't work in my game for some reason.

I would love if I could just find a nice exorcist outfit. It looks like too advanced a project to make one for me (at the moment).

I will make sure to post a link to the download and some pictures of my Sim Allen for you. ^.^ (And I'll make sure it works too!)

Sounds very interesting, do you have the links for pages where you've seen these people post their stories? Perhaps by emailing them and asking them about it...

I don't have any proof of this, but in my own opinion, it's the same on the back as in the front.

This image you posted (http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z311/dgray-/08/man733q.jpg) is a good zoomed in shot except that it's cut off at the bottom so you don't see the black line that goes around his arm like a band (but that's shown in your other images anyways).

I think you're wondering whether those two upper curvy lines go completely around the arm or not? I don't think either of them do. The lower one does seem to go further around the arm than the upper one, but I don't think its ends meet on the inside side of his arm... lol sorry I don't know the technical term for the 'inside side' of the arm x_x;

( I don't believe there is a word for that unless you're referring to arm muscles to specify location. ^.^ )

Thank you so much for your description. I've also been looking through the manga and Allen just doesn't seem to lift his arm too often. His old arm was so much easier. x.X I just like the new one best.

I was thinking the same thing you are, but I really had to at least try to see if it could be proven, as making custom skins is a really huge project and I don't want it to be for nothing. ^^

Well, I did find a page showing his armpit in the manga.... but it only served to confuse me more.
Regardless,

Um, yeah. I think you've pretty much got it covered there. I like use references from the manga more 'cause it's more accurate. But I don't think you should miss any important details with the pictures you have.

I do too, but I was looking for color references in general as well. I'd been painstakingly reviewiing the manga as well, but for that I didn't provide links since, well, I have most of the books and just put it in bookmarks..

I hadn't found this one though, no idea how I missed it! Thank you so much! My search is now complete... ^.^

Well if you only have the volumes that Viz is releasing, then you probably missed it because the volume that that picture is in isn't out yet~

^.^ wow, Viz is that far behind?? No, I'm really lucky to be studying abroad in Tokyo, and patient enough to try and decipher the Japanese version. Besides, I was getting them for around 2-3 bucks a book, and the shonen jump magazines are around that price too.

Ah, that's neat!

Yes, unfortunately, Viz is only on volume 12. ( T__T )

Do you know of any websites with anime skins for The Sims 2 specifically? Most sites I find have old skins for The Sims (the first set of games) only.

Modthesims2.com has a whole section of anime sims, especially Naruto. Let's see.. I know if you look up "Sims 2 downloads anime" on google you can find more, since I did too. But the pickings were scarce.

Heh, I don't like Naruto. Just wondering, but would you be interested in taking requests for skins? I mean, it's an older series, and I've never found a single skin for it for either version of the game. But it's a great series. You might have heard of it, it's called Yoroiden Samurai Troopers and the english dub for it was called Ronin Warriors.

That reminds me. One time I found a nice site that had a lot of nicely made Dragon Ball skins (I forget for which version of the game though), and maybe some others too. I don't have the URL anymore and can't find it though. It was a Japanese website.

I wish I could, but I just started my last term studying abroad and they want every minute I breathe for me to be studying Japanese. x_X

Something that obscure you will probably not find and will have to make on your own, I'm pretty sure. Sorry. o(_ _)o

You know, I would, except I have no art skills, least of all with skins. The entire thing confuses me. Well, it's a real shame, cauz it's a good series. I still find random merchandise for it on auction sites, like keychains, action figures, model kits, etc. Ever heard of it, btw?
