Just 5 Around the World

Inspired by the great Black Pearl Sims, I entered my very first recoloring contest to get my feet wet, so to speak. The quest, to take a simple object and recolor it to portray the individuality's of 5 different countries. The item in question...steffor-epiglotta-schrank, which can be found at Simcave. I have no idea what a schrank is, but evidently this is what it looks like...

I used textures, fabrics, and designs that were native to the areas I was recoloring for. It added realism and frankly, made it a lot easier to choose! So, without further ado, here are my 5 favorite recolors, and yes, that means there were more

This first recolor was inspired by the Moulin Rouge. Over indulgence and opulence were it's trademarks, and yet nothing can last forever, not even endless nights of cavorting, music, and dance.

Most stylize descriptions of Africa after the people and their wild, vibrant colors that grab for your attention. And yet there is a softer, natural side that is equally impelling and no less impressive for its subtlety and beauty.

Asian design has always been one of the most beautiful, for it never fails to incorporate the delicate elegance of nature in it. This recolor reflects the simple yet refined style of Chinese decor.

This recolor reflects the wealth of Egypt in the use of metallic finishes, and yet also reflects the nations reliance on natural materials such as obsidian, limestone, and papyrus.

India is a culture full of striking colors and rich, lavish designs. Reflective materials are very popular, but even more so are the elaborate and detailed carvings used in furniture and decor.
