Ciara Restyle - Studio Shoot #1

One of the things that I really noticed during the recent USS Archer story was the strength of affection for Ciara. I totally get that some people prefer a heroine who has an element of badass to her. This Irish-Italian beauty is often the one responsible for getting Amanda out of trouble, but she has two major flaws: she doesn't understand the limits of her capabilties, and she has a tendency to start adventures dressed completely impractically for the environments she's about to enter. These, of course, are her most endearing qualities!

For those of you who don't know the lore (and I have to keep reminding myself that you weren't all here since the start) Ciara was created back in 2010 in my pre-Daz era when I used to play The Sims 3 - World Adventures. Her character was always a cop or a private detective, but it was all about sending her on the 'holidays' to Egyptian tombs, complete with mummies, dart traps and other perils. And all of this while dressed stylishly and glamorously. When I finally modelled her in Daz, my inspirations were my favourite cosplayer Chiaki from Chonastock (who eventually modelled her) and the actress Asia Argento. Her defining features are her piercing brown eyes and prominent lower lip.

Over the last two weeks, I have given Genesis 8 Ciara (Ciara II) a full overhaul. She's now Genesis 8.1 which, I am sure, means almost nothing to most of you - but overall it's a great improvement in her face specifically, adding more definition and realistic movements. She has new hair, and even new boots! I've been revising ALL of her outfits, but for this shoot I wanted just to focus on one of her more classic ones - the red sweater and green thigh boots. I realise that the boots divide opinion, as many or most of you will just want to see all of her fishnet-pantyhosed legs, but this just makes it all the more satisfying when said boots come off!

As a result of her Sims 3 origins, definitely has more outfits than any other cast member. Now, I'm a little busy with real-life stuff at the moment to start a full location story for her (we saw how the last project ballooned into a 3 month epic) but I do have some ideas in development. For now, I hope you will enjoy seeing some of her other outfits over the coming period, and then perhaps you can let me know which you like best.

Oh yes, and I am planning to top it off with a bunch of KO shots using all of my latest unseen poses. Maybe we will get to see a few familiar baddies back in the picture.

Let me know in the comments what you think of Ciara's latest re-style, and what ideas you might have for a impractically-dressed peril!
