Lexie

My last sim used Bee
This one gave me the hardest time. I had the others completed weeks ago, but my muse seemed to run out with this one. All I could think about was the black and yellow aspect of bees, so I decided to just run with that.

Meet Lexie:


As I was playing with her hair, when I tried this one on for size, I couldn't help but notice that she sort of reminded me of a femmy version of Kai from Lexx. Aha! I thought- there's my insect connection, and so she kept this hair...and got her name. hehe







Sigrún

My fourth sim used the prompt Odin.
Odin rules over the Hall of Valhalla, where heroes who die in battle are brought by fierce women-warriers called the Valkyrie. It is said that the Valkyrie are angels of death as they decide who is worthy to enter Odin's great Hall, and therefore die. The name Valkyrie literally means "chooser of the slain".

Meet Sigrún:




"Then glittered light from Logafjoll,
And from the light the flashes leaped;
He saw there mighty maidens riding
High under helms on heaven's field;
Their chainmails all with blood were red,
And from their spears the sparks flew forth."
- from the Helgakviða Hundingsbana I

Nefertiri

For my 3rd sim of the challenge, I used the prompt Horus.
Of course that brought me to ancient Egypt and I drew inspiration from the bust of Nefertiti, who was wife to Pharoah Akhenaten.

Meet Nefertiri:





The famous sculpture of Nefertiti:


It's hard being Queen. One must keep up One's appearance.


Scarlett

For the prompt Vermilion:

Meet Scarlett.
Fiery and temperamental, Scarlett is an avid painter...



...who paints as bright and vividly as her personality.

Anise

For my first sim for the November Challenge I chose the prompt Fennel. Fennel is a green and white plant with lacey yellow flowers and the taste of licorice.
Meet Anise.


Like her namesake, Anise is crunchy and sweet, and just a hint maddening...


...after all, Fennel is a major flavor component of absinthe.
