I mentioned in my last portrait post that I had no way to depict the Djinn or Prince Mathias. Well, I decided after posting those very words that I would find a way. Here's what I've come up with...
I intended the Prince to come across as a creepy old man, and I think I've mostly gotten it. I say mostly because he's not quite there. Mathias is so ancient and so hideous, that it's actually hard to really do him justice. The Sims 3 engine simply doesn't quite have the means to go all out with the ugliness of this character. (Mathias' other childe, who you'll meet in an upcoming chapter will prove even harder.)
His clothing isn't quite right either. Mathias dresses as a medieval monk and is almost always hooded; another limitation of the Sims 3 engine.
Now I'm a lot more proud of my Djinn. I've always seen this character as a real-world Drow elf, immensely handsome and sexy but utterly alien due to his pitch-black skin. And while this skin tone isn't quite dark enough, it's close enough to show off the Djinn as something not quite human.
