Greys safehouse in Berlin

We've known what 47's safehouse looks like since Freelander. But we know very little about what the safehouse or Grey's flat in Berlin looks like. I took a closer look and tried to recreate his flat in The Sims 4 with the little information we have 😁

Here are a few things you should know before this post starts:

I'm just taking my cue from what his safehouse looks like in Hitman 2. In Hitman 3 some things were changed, for whatever reason, so I'm ignoring the Hitman 3 cutscenes for this post.

I play The Sims 4 without furniture mods, I only use mods for my Sims. So I only have a limited number of objects available, but I tried to recreate my vision of his flat as best I could with what I have.

Let's go!

If you look at the very blurred images of the cutscenes, you can see a lot of brick in the background. That's why I think Grey's flat might be in an old factory or something similar. Definitely something industrial. Right at the beginning we see the dining table in the centre, where Grey, Olivia and Diana are sitting, with one of three (?) windows in the background.

We see pipes on the left and there seems to be a small shelf. We don't really know what is there on that shelf, but looking at another angle, we see something behind Diana, that reminds me of spice shacks.

That's why I thought, maybe the kitchen is right there, when entering the flat.

What's interesting is that the flat has brick pillars in some places, while the rest of the walls are plastered. One of these pillars is behind Grey. It looks like there is a small shelf attached to this pillar with a plant on it. I think there are two pictures hanging elsewhere.

Behind Grey we see the area that we see again in another cutscene, namely the area with the projector. So we know that there are two tables and a clothes rail on this side of the flat, which can easily be overlooked in the cutscene (on the left). From another angle behind Grey, it also looks like there are some notes on the wall, probably similar to Colorado.

Behind Diana, on the other hand, we see the sofa and the armchair on which Diana, Grey and 47 later sit. There is also a kind of shelf there, which we see again later in the second cutscene at the very back (right behind Diana and Olivia). Unfortunately, we can't see what kind of shelf it is, but I assume it's some kind of living room cupboard or bookshelf.

At the place where 47 is standing in the second cutscene, there is also a shelf between two pillars. So it is probably on the side where the two desks are.

What we don't see is anything that suggests a bedroom or bathroom. When rebuilding the flat, it somehow turned out that there is another area behind the living room, which I have now added as a bedroom and bathroom. It just fitted really well. I can't say whether this is really the case. In this case, I let my imagination run wild.

Here you can see the result of how I put the whole thing together in The Sims 4. As I said, I didn't build the furniture 1 to 1 and I had to improvise with some things, like the kitchen or the bedroom (or the posters on the wall. Instead of any investigative notes, Grey has posters of cat and dog breeds on the wall). But I think Grey's flat could look something like this. What do you think?

By the way, @ellenchain recreated the safehouse from 47 in The Sims 4. You can see her amazing post here 💕

And here's a bit of shameless advertising: If you'd like to see more of my Sims 4 buildings, feel free to follow me on my Sims 4 account on Instagram. I'll be uploading buildings and rooms there regularly ☺️

I can share weird things that I do here right?

Anyway I filled a sketchbook (first time I’ve ever done that I’m very proud) and needed another one so I cannibalized one of my old school ones and made a Batman one. Batman is cool.

Staring at a blank page is terrifying. So I picked a color scheme and made swirls. This remind me of ectoplasm therefore, I created the next six pages as journal entries about ghosts, portals, cores, physiology, and artifacts. It’s still English just with the Ancient alphabet from Stargate.

I think it’s just the right amount of stupid and absurd. Thoughts?

finally finished my expression reference page thingy for angel :D the two from the pilot were straight up just honorable mentions i couldnt leave them out

Have some artwork of one of my silly characters.

Y'all already know I'm cringe so fuckit we ball, one badly made Redcliff ship edit

Underverse but something is different...

I did Underverse screenshot redraws, I didn't do the backgrounds cuz I suck at those lol

Also posted some on the community page of my YT channel (Pastel Diamond Studios)

You’ve seen Fluttershy as a Flutter pony but have you considered-

High quality school doodle (I CAN'T FUCKING DRAW CHARACTERS I ACTUALLY LIKE WELL. DUDHHWJSJXBEHSJGRAAAAAAAAGHH)

I tried :3 it sucks actual ass but I've spent too much time on this crap to let my efforts go unoticed

The Redwood Tree

Today, I read a good book under the redwood tree. It was a book about the life around us and to adore it. I stay under the redwood because I am the book’s audience of nature. I am part of nature. I adore it. The tree was tall and mighty, eclipsing even the peaks of the other tallest lifeforms around him. Healthy roots allowed the tree to balance himself, although not to completely help him. He was a strong plant, firmly able and apt for a long life. Even without roots, he would be able to stand strong for years. Although without the nutrition of his roots, he would be a long forgotten corpse in the depth of a forest in nowhere. The hollow of the redwood was home to an elder owl. Many years ago, even before I came to the redwood, she arrived. She was a wise owl; one who emitted a spirit to the forest and its animals. The redwood always welcomed life into him, but the owl was special. The owl had a certain elegance to her; a glow in her mind. She could see what little others saw in the world: a glimpse of emotion. Not just any emotion, but of all, it was her fear. Times change, and so do the people; the magnates, the bloodthirsty, the otherworldly evils. The wise owl, the wisest of them all, saw a world burn before her at birth, a time she couldn't bear to remember. All she could see was a tall man in a dark brown suit, coming out of large vehicles in and out, and all she could see was the green in his eyes. The redwood’s hollow was the owl’s new safe space; a new niche, with whoever passes by being her new family. The redwood was a pleasant, welcoming figure. The figure I now sit under and lay to see the stars on. The figure that is like a father to me, as the owl also sees. He does not speak. But his towering elegance tells me all I need to know of him. The rustling of his leaves above in the autumn wind, some of them blowing around and piling around the ground. The scent of the dirt and the moss on the bark, piling up around the hollow where the owl lives, in an oddly harmonizing fashion. The creatures and substances around it, feeling in the distance a light crisp from a pond rich in its ozone and sea life. I once felt a squirrel run over my lap while laying under the redwood. He was a fun fellow for a bit, but he seemed in a hurry. I don’t know what he could have been in such haste for, but perhaps he was desperate to find something. Food? Water? Or perhaps the squirrel was simply on a run. Rodents are always on the move. To me, it gives them a specific angle. It makes me think of us humans; always on the move to do something, always prepared, always on the run, before one day we can’t anymore. Before one day, we’re too lost in our adventures to find our lives. The squirrel was a charming creature nevertheless. He was of the redwood. He was pure. The redwood truly yields the life of his forest together. Including me, a reader. I have told you of the book I’ve read, and how I have come to appreciate the redwood as the soul of this forest because of the book’s wisdom. But, in truth, it was not the book that taught me to search in a new dimension for life, but it was the redwood tree himself. He chants words of wisdom and yet cannot say any of them; he lets nature speak them. And if I know one thing from his words, it’s to the forest he shall return it. It being the doorway to a new dawn: away from the footings of technological despotism, from oleaginous sovereignty, from the torture us humans bring to these innocent creatures and life. But to his new leaf, in the sunrise of a new age, when he is gone.

Wednesday!

"May I have this dance, Noodle Boy?"

Me and a friend (@dinololcake100) had a few thoughts about an Owl House x Monkie Kid AU. Still early in development, but one thought has been in my mind for a few weeks now.

Spicy noodles is similar to Lumity.

I'm not gonna explain, but have this drawing.
