Time for some Shoes

Today I did not work on my Skyrim body since bodies take ALOT of time and I kind of suffered from Laziness. I've been a little moody lately too and maybe going through one of my depressed states. But enough about that I am sure no one wants to hear a long sob story. But hopefully my sister is OK ><. She's been moody too and saying things that just worried me.
Back on topic

So today I have done shoes for this outfit. Make me debate if I should do some more spikes on it.
I actually spent a considerable amount of time on them. They are not as "Cute" per say as the Valentine ones but they are definitely much more better built then the Valentine shoes. For those who have the Valentine Day shoes notice the gapping on the foot bed?

Well this time I fixed it. No Gapping this time on the foot bed so it should be good in that respect.
Of course it is still not at the level of what some other modders do but it is getting there.
I need to work on keeping the shoes not so wide but the problem with that comes because I try to make ultra compatible shoes. Which means when doing this you kind of get stuck with dealing with issues of making sure the stockings will not clip through the shoes. This can be a whole job in itself at times especially when dealing with lots of verts.

In the game when not wearing socks you can see that the difference is notable. So it is something that I have to improve on in the future. But none the less the body always looks sexy :p.
Sadly I will not release mods until I finish my personal Shop mod since it will require items to be placed within the shop.
Speaking of the shop Im ay have mentioned it before but I will do so again, the Shop mod as default will be made and released here, Lovers Lab and Nexus But the final product will only be done on lovers lab, but do not worry some of the more innocent stuff will be put into a nexus friendly shop which will be placed somewhere (probably in Imperial city)  That shop will be possibly for ONLY nexus as the full mod will only be here and Lovers Lab, since it may have some politically incorrect things to it, besides I am not doing this to be the most famous modder in the world, while it will be nice it is not what I do it for. I just want to provide for fans of the same body I like and there I can do work for it and those who also like the Suicup and BTRA bodies :). 

On a rather random note the Sumiko has kind of become sort of the unofficial female model.

Anyway sorry for being in an Emo mood last week or so :(

Panties for the Elegant Dress

With all the time I've spent on making the Elegant skirt and armor sleeves I like totally skipped on the Panties for the outfit. Well today I finally made some.  They are relatively simple and pretty much use he same texture as the Seductive Frill Set; I will recycle textures at times mainly until I learn to make my own. For none the less I release one thing can make a HUGE difference on how a mo looks. For example you can make a pretty jagged mesh and then have it look bad in blender but if you can texture it right or choose to right texture it will look great. I am thinking about trying to learn blenders texture painting system. I kind of wonder if it will work for Oblivion.

Anyway back to the panties.
Here are a couple of screenshots.

The panties look nice, I must say I am a huge fan of transparency in panties. I feel with the horrible texturing skills I currently posses (googleing and just going from there)  I notice adding alpha channels will give the items a more realistic effect and saves on the very fake looking one color texture. Realistically when you zoom into an HD image or real image you will see that the texture is VERY VERY multi colored. Now I am sure if I had patience I can also figure how to do that with pant.net and using a DPI graph chart but that would be like 8 hours per color. It would make my pull my head out X_X.  I am kind of shy to keep asking on Lovers Lab how to do alpha properties and UV mapping it is probably uber annoying for them as nice as they are there and also a bit tedius and annoying for me. Though I must say I slacked a bit and noticed someone did put a post in a thread I made. I think maybe when I can make free time I will continue to look.

Totally funny though I have free time and I find myself often times more busy then I used to. I seem to find myself more busy with Job searching, I really need to get out of working call center jobs. If I can give anyone advice I'd say stay away from the Service Industry unless you absotively have no choice. They will run you like a dog.

Anyway I've rambled enough for today.
Happy day!

More on the shop and hats

Today was a nice free day. I must say for months (maybe even years) I've been looking forward to having a day off with no school once so ever. Now I have it and I find myself at times trying to figure out what to do with myself. I spend most of the early part of the day just Playing Oblivion and other games. OFC managed to squeeze in Job Search but then in the end of the I decided to start modding in the afternoon. But today I did quite a bit. I finally made my shopkeeper a bit cute and even made my own non playable race (Sadly I have to make it playable for speaking :()
Here is how she looks.

I am still working on her though but I am happy I got her to work. I actually also made a CM Partner using the Synx Race but I am not sure I will be releasing her. I may do my own package but I need to learn how to make the Character work for custom races. Also for my shop keeper I need to add to her race. Her race was supposed to have more features to it but sadly thinks went horribly wrong as the other head piece I could not get in with the rest of her. When I finally did game crashed. I may just make the extra part apart of her hats.

The hats kind of match most things I've made so far. I will probably add and expand on this mod in the future, especially as people show me items they want the hat to match. This hat comes in 22 colors with a second variant that includes either a white vial or a black vial. This is NOT the small variant of the Mini Top Hat, this is the Medium, I use the Medium because it is more user friendly. I still need to work on the elegant dress with armor btw but just working on other releases to get back to that. These hats will also be accompanied with most body friendly Socks, and Shoes that go with them. By body friendly I mean BTRA, DMRA, and SuiCup and some HGEC. The shoes are more flexible then the rest but for the shoes what will happen is that I will be taking the heart broach off of the front so it can be more flexible and for the stockings I am debating on doing a thigh high variant and the current one. But on things for sure they will be a stocking texture and will also lack hearts.

My main focus are my bodies but sometimes I will include Most body friendly items.

HS Shop is Under Construction

The title Says it all,
The HappySparkles Shop is under construction for business.
What is the HS Shop you ask?
Easy it is a shop that I recently spent some time on making, while it is so simple it is simpler then simple, this is just a test mod but is still under construction.  I will not go too into detail but the plan for this shop is a merchant who pretty much provides all services. ATM She is only level one sadly as I've had issues (Shown in the screenshots of how she now looks different) I was trying to make her PC offset to match more or less the player level but it did not go well. I tested this by attacking her and my low HP character did not die in one hit. So yeah no go.

I basically had to recreate the Entire NPC but will keep the other one for memories sake. Also she is the beginning of something more (as probably the title will tell you on the ESP itself) but this mod basically is a baby mod that is planned to be expanded upon and will surely lead to her opening her own shop else ware and by shop I mean a real shop (as my skill lets me more or less) Because of this I do bare warning that this shop is Intended to be Female and Transsexual friendly and it will sell most if not all of my mods (for now). I will try to include fair prices and perks. Also for those who want zero to do with Transsexuals or just do not want to buy clothing from a shop, some of my mods will have either alternate FREE locations (with minimal to no hints) also some clothing will only be unlocked via certain conditions. This is all in testing ofc, as I need to think (the solution I am sure is simple) of a way to add the items without interfering too much with the original mod.  I will probably update the ESP with the newer Items which basically means you have to keep you eyes open on the original mod. OFC Links will most likely be posted on the release of the outfits. Once again I will have to see. The mod will originally be released with all the stuff I already made and maybe 1 or 2 new things.

Posing for Attention

Me sneaking in an ass shot but got caught :p

Also atm notice how Tall Minako is. for the time being I choose to use her as a high elf. This is something that is also VERY temporary, though I do confess the High Elf voices is exotic; I don't care what everyone else thinks on it. It is sexy xD. But I will be making my own custom race for the official Merchant. Though she will still be Minako and her base outfit may also change as well.

More on the Elegant Dress

Today I did quite a bit but had some issues too which I am still working on.
I finally was able to get the dress more or less to as satisfying level. Though it could be better.
The armor I am satisfied with but still there are some issues with the skirt.  I actually liked how it came out over all but I still need to practice on bone weighting, which I barely have experience with. The closest Experience I have is doing butt bounce and breast bounce.  But doing leg movements seems to boogle my mind. I guess I can just bone weight another dress but I want to try myself first.  I also managed to separate the Pieces from the armor, all that is missing are the shoes, and the necklace, the panties are already made but they do not have any textures to them yet so I have to work on that. TBH same is for the whole outfit, these textures are more then likely to be close to the final textures but not exactly the last texture.

 What I basically did was instead of having the Dress contain all the pieces, I decided to add Shoulders and Elbow Guards to the actual dress (which the final will come with the dress separately to be consistent with my fashion set.  The hands are actually the Gloves and the Gauntlets.

Over all the dress does look nice, this seems to be more or less one of my less sexually suggestive mods. Now I am a pervert so it can be a little difficult for me to go with something not ultra suggestive but I am managing though the slit and the open middle kind of allow for me to keep that sexual touch without going too far and pulling a Typical Happysparkles move. I am trying to do something other then Bikini/ Panty mods since pretty much everything I released are just that.
