Because of the fact that I haven't been able to update since last May, I've decided to step down from Featured Artist to Select Artist. I'm far from retiring, as I have several projects still in the works. It's just really hard to find time for me to do them all right now. However, I've decided to take this opportunity to update pretty much all of my previous creations by adding shadows, making anything base-game compatible that isn't, adding a second version of any object that might need to be updated for an expansion pack, creating repository textures for those that can use them, and making the wood textures on all of my objects universal so they can be mixed and matched much easier. I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but I wasn't sure how to handle the locked status of my objects. Since that's no longer an issue, I'll be updating as much as I can while working on the projects I have going on. And speaking of those projects, if you'll look on page 2 of my blog, you'll find the inspiration for the (majority of the) sets that I'm working on. And here are a few previews of what I've got so far: The Anna Collection: The Cheval Collection: The Colver Collection: The Italian Sunset Collection: The Mariella Collection: The Polaris Collection: The Q-Bik Collection: The Rado New Colony Collection: The Retro Violet Collection: The Streamlined Collection: The Torino Collection: And the last preview is just an addition to the Secret Garden Bedroom that I'm working on:
