#and honestly very appropriate given it's an outfit based on Rabbit

-->And then – party time! Smiler’s guests began arriving, starting with Cameron Fletcher and Myra Basu – I put them in Smiler’s group and had them follow them upstairs to keep them out of the way while Victor continued his clean-up. A clean-up made a little more difficult by the next guests to arrive – Brian Pimental (aka the local NAP inspector) was no issue, but Cletus ForgotHisLastName decided to kick over the trash can outside the house before I could get him into the group and direct him upstairs to start dancing to the radio! Hmph! Well, Victor got rummaging as I wrangled the guests –

-->But oh, what was this? A notification that Alice had gotten to Fitness Level 8 on her jog with Shadow, thus completing an aspirational milestone (in fact, straight-up completing the ASPIRATION – Alice now has the “Professorial” trait from Renaissance Sim and can write her own skill books!) and thus her New Year’s Resolution! :D That brought the trio as a whole to two out of three completed! Granted, I didn’t manage to get a shot of Alice actually celebrating completing her resolution because her jog with Shadow was being glitchy (Shadow was doing that thing again where dogs just run ahead for miles and miles in a straight line heedless of obstacles, and Alice kept switching outfits because the game WANTED to put her in her “White Rabbit” party outfit, but she wasn’t technically AT the party, she was in the middle of a jog, so she eventually ended up in just her regular blue Alice dress once I managed to cancel the jog), but I did get a shot of her looking pretty smug in her White Rabbit dress jogging along with Shadow, so I think that’ll do. XD

-->Okay, so Victor and Alice were all set with their New Year’s resolutions – that just left Smiler’s to complete, and that meant throwing a good party! I managed to get Smiler and all their guests up in the party barn area, dancing to the radio, then had Smiler unleash their Party Time party-bot for some extra party vibes. :D They then tried chatting with Cameron (who was not interested in hearing about lycanthropy, it seems) while Victor, done rummaging through the trash, reset the trash can and headed up to the barn to get a chocolate cupcake from Party Time, while Alice and Shadow arrived home, and Alice changed into one of her other party dresses to join the fun.

Leaving her standing in a pile of discarded clothes. Whoops – looks like the family left the laundry for a little too long! XD I resolved not to think about it for the time being and sent her to go join the dancing as Smiler let off a burst of happiness to ensure all their guests were in good moods (like YOU, Cletus) –

-->And then Myra and Cameron wandered off, and local townie Roxanne (who the game has decided is the Valicer farmhouse’s “neighbor”) showed up saying she’d brought a present! Curious, I had Smiler go over to invite her in (bringing some of their guests with them) – things were made a little more complicated by the appearance of specters at the front door, which seemed to temporarily break the whole “handing over the gift” interaction, but she eventually gave Smiler her present – an apple! Which, okay, we have plenty of those, but it’s the thought that counts. XD Smiler accepted it with good grace, and the two became good friends, aww. I was ready to have Smiler chat her up in hopes of getting some plasma off her too –

MCC22 Pink Parrots Skins!

I may or may not have been sitting on these skins for a few days now. No comment. This is not a team I ever expected, but in a good way? It certainly made things interesting.

If this is the first post you’re seeing of mine, hi! I have made a lot of CaptainSparklez’ team’s skins, ever since MCC14 (links: MCC15, MCC16, MCC17, MCC18, MCC19, MCC21). On occasion I’ve also made skins for other teams, such as the Red Rabbits of MCC Rising.  Feel free to share this, just tag this post so that it links back to me. Thank you! Ok, more below the cut.

I’m using my reddit username as the signature, don’t worry I’m not stealing from anyone.

Apparently I wanted to make things extra challenging, because this time I tried to make the team superheroes. I’ll let you be the judge of whether or not that actually worked out, but there was a lot of referencing MCU outfits. And also some DC outfits. I like the designs of the costumes in the MCU, even if they can be a bit similar. I’ll go over individual references in the breakdown.

I will say, the parrot on the back? Much easier. Seriously, compared to Yetis and Krakens, this one was super easy. I did have an early draft where it was more than the parrot head. It was super cute. Sadly it would’ve been off center. So I scrapped that in favor of a parrot head.

Sidenote, I have actually watched CaptainSparklez on Pink before! I watched both MCC12 and MCC13 live, but I wasn’t making skins at the time (that only started with MCC14). So it’s rather fun for me to make Pink skins.

Alright, now for the individual breakdowns.

Starting with TommyInnit, whom I never thought I would be making skins for. I based this off of the fact that TommyInnit is an Avian on Origin SMP (which both he and more recently CaptainSparklez play on). So I referenced a lot of Falcon (MCU) and Angel (X-Men). Wings are very fun to make, by the way.

Next, Purpled, who in this case is very much not purple but instead very pink. Purpled was tricky, but I eventually settled on basing his skin off speedsters (mostly the Flash from the DC cw show). Thus, his hood becomes a cowl which is lowered. It feels rather appropriate given his performance in Shallow Lava of TTGTOS.

I did try to leave the shorts on OrionSound’s skin. No it didn’t work out. I actually based his skin off of Superman. Not sure you can tell though, honestly. That cape was so hard to get right. Actually, this whole skin was hard. Except for maybe the parrot hat, that was kind of fun. I think it turned out alright though.

And finally, CaptainSparklez. I didn’t go as intense with the changes this time to the coat. I tried but it didn’t look as good. CaptainSparklez’ look I tried to base off of Gambit (X-men, though he doesn’t show up often in live action as far as I’m aware) and Starlord (MCU). Oh and I’m back at it with two tone glasses I guess.

Here’s all the skins in case you want them yourself.
