Luna

For my first prompt of the month, I'm going with Moonstone.
Once upon a time in the life of Mina, I went to a renfaire and found the most amazing one of a kind handmade silver ring with a black moonstone set in it. It even fit my ridiculously hard to fit right fingers and the silverwork was beautiful and the moonstone glowed with a mysterious light in it's shimmery depths. I vowed to keep it forever and I did- until it fell off my finger like The One Ring from Gollum at a stupid party and was probably picked up by some horrible drunken troll -er fellow classmate, never to be seen again.
And so, in honor of my long-lost moonstone ring:
Meet Luna 1/5 whose coloring matches the ring but where otherwise all similarities end.

January Challenge

Another month, another challenge!
Follow the thread HERE.
My first prompt is:
Moonstone

Mercury

For my last sim of the month I chose the prompt Mercury.

I love sci-fi and fantasy and I used to play DnD. In the game there were metallic dragons and a type of dragon was the Mercury Dragon. Mercury Dragons are impish, curious, talk really fast and are a trifle chaotic. Like all dragons, being creatures of magic, they can take humanoid shape. So, I asked myself, what would a Mercury Dragon look like in human(ish) form?

Meet Mercury:

She is what she is so I couldn't see changing her name.

Lord Rupert

For my next sim I chose the prompt Duke, and >gasp< I made a guy!

Meet Lord Rupert:

My inspiration for his look was Rupert Friend in the role of Prince Albert in the Young Victoria movie. I wanted my Lord Rupert to be a little more steampunky though. I have to be really inspired to make male sims, I find them more difficult for some reason. But I'm pretty happy with how he came out.

The Little Match Girl

For my next sim I chose the prompt Greed.

Meet The Little Match Girl.

The Little Match Girl was sent out into the cold to sell matches on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, she didn't sell any and even though she was freezing and had lost her slippers, she was afraid to go home because her greedy father would beat her for not bringing him any money. Don't cry little girl!

Trying to warm herself, she starts lighting her matches and sees wonderful visions in the flames, including that of her Grandmother who had passed away.

"But in the corner, at the cold hour of dawn, sat the poor girl, with rosy cheeks and with a smiling mouth, leaning against the wall--frozen to death on the last evening of the old year. Stiff and stark sat the child there with her matches, of which one bundle had been burnt. "She wanted to warm herself," people said. No one had the slightest suspicion of what beautiful things she had seen; no one even dreamed of the splendor in which, with her grandmother she had entered on the joys of a new year." - The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen

Ratri

For my second December sim I chose the prompt Night. I thought of the Vedic Goddess of Night, Ratri. She is a kind Goddess who protects people from that which prowls the night. Her eyes are the stars and she brings light to the darkness.
As I was thinking about how I wanted to sim her, the stars for eyes made me think about Dream from The Sandman, and so I thought it would be cool to make her look like she was hangin' with Death and Dream.

Tien

I learned from last month not to wait to post my sims, but to put them up as soon as I finish one so I won't be doing a mad dash at the end of the month!

So here goes. First sim uses the prompt Ariel. What came to mind was Ariel from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Ariel is an air spirit, and though the current vogue is to have a male play the part, Ariel has been played by both men and women throughout the ages. So this is my sim version of an air spirit.

Meet Tien. Tien is a Vietnamese name that means angel, spirit or fairy.

"Where the bee sups, there sup I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily, shall I live now,
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough." William Shakespeare - The Tempest
