Prince Nuada

Nuada Silverlance, the elf prince of Earth's magical underworld Bethmoora, eco-terrorist extraordinaire, has returned from exile to wage war on humanity, in order to reclaim what is rightfully his people's, and to save the magical creatures from being driven into extinction (from the movie Hellboy II). Those who would see his face for the first time draw back in fear, but to those who have watched him fight, love, be betrayed, and lose... well ok, especially fight - to those, it is a face most beautiful!


The costume was inspired by Navetsea's gorgeous Asura (see complete credits below).
Not quite historically accurate, but who wouldn't want to see Nua run around in a loincloth XD
I chose to strip the breastplate in case someone, even crazier (and better at recolours) than me, would like to use this for the white costume, plus the breastplate really would look better on a new mesh (a project for another day).


A pic is worth a thousand words, and a vid is worth a thousand pics: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJLwChuGvaA (costumes since improved and swords were not yet constructed, but overall very close to end result)


FOR ALL TRUE NUADA FANS: check out the amazing fan-made 3D prequel trailer: www.hiddenrealmentertainment.com It's not a sim vid, but gorgeous 3D animation, I had nothing to do with it, but it's pure awesomeness. Featuring all new scenes!


Sims2Pack (PrinceNuada.zip) includes:

• Nuada Sim
• Skin (bleached but still glimmery Ren/Louis' Self-Makeup #7 Slategray; geneticized to pale, so may not show on kids unless he procreates w/ Nuala o_O )
• Hair (Sshodan's Demonic hair (mesh here) w/ a complex haircut, adapting [quite inadequately] Ren's gorgeous Paleblond texture)
• Withered eyes (by Enayla; made slightly recessive)
• Hollow of the Cheek blush (by AtomicSpaceKitty)
• Blossoms November Mist lips (by Bruno)
• Eyeshadow (by moi)
• Scars mask (by moi)
• Bodysuit (the stunningly beautiful textures, like shoulder/upper arms & knees, are by the amazingly talented Navetsea, used with his generous permission, and actually look cooler in med-res; bleh textures would be me)
• Loincloth (GeneralZoi's fantastic mesh here)
• Boots (GeneralZoi's even more fantastic mesh here)

All items have custom icons, except the weapons (which are pretty self-evident). All accessories were made unavailable to women & children, so they shouldn't clutter your catalogue.
