This is a basic castle I made on Sims 4 called Sapherza's castle. The castle itself is a bit basic, and was made to be larger inside. There is custom content inside the castle along with the outside. The custom content being the foundation, the statues and various objects inside.
You can find the castle in the gallery under maddy3269.
💀 Features 💀
- Three bedrooms on the third floor up (the master bedroom and two tower bedrooms).
- Currently there is one bathroom on the upper floor next to the master but more could be added.
- Second floor has a guest quarter on the left wing and a hidden (sort of) science lab in the right wing. Also includes an herb room next door.
- First floor on the right wing has a dining room with kitchen and bathroom. The left wing contains a living room/entertainment area and the middle with the entrance to the castle.
Soon to come additions:
💀 A Dungeon inspired by Scholomance from World of Warcraft
💀 Spa Room
💀 Bigger bathroom on upper floor.

The following expansion and game packs were used to create the castle:
- Vampire Game Pack (important)
- Get Together expansion pack (important)
- Dine Out game pack (Not as important)
- Romantic Gardens stuff pack (Not very important, a few plants inside in the garden area).
- Patio Stuff Pack (Somewhat important)
- City Living ( I think a TV was from this expansion pack).
Mods that were used:
A number of mods that I used are from The Sims Resource and a number from various places on Tumblr. Some also are custom made mods which I can attempt to upload. These mods were made using the program called Sims 4 Studio. Most of them are paintings and others are rugs and wall mods. This is a Microsoft program, not sure how it would work with a Mac, but hopefully should.
Not all of the mods will be listed since many of these aren't available anymore.
Also some of them have been buggy, so the ones that aren't I will list. Click on the following names for the link to download them.

NOTE: When you download these items be sure to check the custom content box when going through in build mode. Not all of these are labeled under certain items.
As of right now, the look of my blogsite has changed. With that, I also wanted to post a recent piece from my Sketchbook 2017 which will soon be available on deviant art.

(works with each photo in this blog)
This is just one of the recent pieces I did in my sketchbook, which includes the female figure and a few sketches of hair. (Description included in the drawing).
I was inspired to do this when I saw Mary Doodles latest video from her "How to Art" series called "How to Draw Hair". I watched the video because I really need practice on the art of drawing human hair. As you can very well see in this photo I have taken of my sketchbook.
Aside from my recent artwork, I would also like to talk about my recent photos. I haven't really updated my photography section of this blogsite in quite some time. So in this post I will share a few photos that I have taken recently and then I will put the rest in the updated section of photos I have taken. You will still be able to see the previous photos on my Deviant Art.
I would also like to say that I like to take photos of things with a lot of light. Because I feel like light makes things look more interesting. (Example would be the sample photo I posted entitled Recent Photos).
So without further ado, here are the recent photos that I have taken over the past few months. (with descriptions)
RIGHT: This is a photo of a rose that I took with my phone (iPhone 6s) and it was a pink rose that I gave my mother on Valentines Day when she was visiting me here in Milledgeville, GA. It almost reminds me of Beauty and The Beast. Except in that movie the rose was red instead of pink.
But still, it's a very pretty picture and I was inspired to take it when I had to sit the rose in an area filled with light. (to keep it alive till I saw her). The dust particles also added a magical touch to the photo as well.
LEFT: The photo to the left is a picture of these origami swans made of textured paper with coffee beans on them, along with some string lights (or Christmas lights). I took this photo using the selfie end on my phone.
Also due to the black ceiling I was able to get a rather interesting shot and I feel that the reflection in the window added an interesting feel to the photo.
RIGHT: Again with the cell phone, I took this picture of a church that is nearby. I never see anyone go in it, so I'm not sure if abandoned or what.
Due to a night class, I was passing by and felt the need to take a photo of this glorious semi gothic church. It looks like it belongs in England or something instead of a small southern town.
LEFT: This was one of those moments were it was a bit late at night and I happen to see a lady bug on my lamp. (which has beads that hang from it).
With that in mind, I zoomed in using my phone's camera and snapped a few shots of this little creature as it began to crawl along the beads. I think it looks rather elegant and lovely.
Also the filter I used for this is called Transfer. Also used another on Instagram but hardly added called Clarendon.
Eventually added the three shots to an app called Mixgram.
Haven't made a post in quite a while (as usual), so I figured that this time I would do a throwback to 2012 (five years ago) compared to now, 2017. In terms of how my work has changed and what I might go back to.
Music Suggestion:Since we are heading about five years back, lets put on this song by Three Days Grace called Time of Dying. (because it was my favorite at the time).
While that is playing in the background, let me continue to those days. At the time my artwork was more vivid in color and I was looking to experiment in more controversial types of art and work that involved drawing monsters or anything related to the Angel comics.
If you don't know what Angel is:It was an old TV show that aired in the late 90's and was a spin-off on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. After the show was cancelled these comics were released, and ever since I discovered Angel Omnibus Volume 1, I was hooked on not only the show (which is on Netflix) but the comics as well.
Here are a few sample pieces to show:
Right:The one to the right was called Forbidden Planet after the movie made in the 50's under the same name. It was an assignment in Art class (High School), which was to re-create a poster for an old movie and I chose this. At the time, I didn't have access to Photoshop, so I ended up using GIMP (which I still use today aside from Photoshop).
What it says:Do you dare enter the Forbidden planet? Many have tried, few have survived. Starring: Lady Gaga (because people joked about her being an alien for some reason), George Cloony, Mac the Computer, Will Ferral (as a the silly drunk), Daniel Radcliff, Rupert Grint, Anderson Cooper and many more...
(I was just making up stuff but it's still interesting).
Left:Entitled Gary the Sea monster, this was originally a sketch that I made at the time when I was texting some friend of mine, and for some reason ended up making this monster that looks kind of adorable. The clay model of him ended up being a lot more interesting. Which I will show at the end of this post. I can't remember exactly what I drew this with, all I remember using was green marker and some sharpies. Along with some white colored pencil.
The Next One:
This by far is my favorite from 2012, and even though I have never played the game, I watched the walkthrough (I was interested), and just loved the game and still want to see a sequel to the game.
This is a cover I designed for Bulletstorm (another assignment) and I basically just threw together a bunch of scenes from the game and added my own touch to it. "Kill off Mutant Enemies" and "Fight with W.P Tally Licker".
As you can see here my work was a bit controversial but not as much so in a sense compared to what I do now. Though aside from these pieces, I have
done some form of photography styles that can
still be seen on this blog. A few I will post as well towards the end.
Now lets fast forward to today and compare.
RIGHT:This piece pretty much has no real title other then that it was an inspirational piece of something I saw on Deviant Art. This kind of looks a bit more tribal and combines my love of castles, the moon and night time in general. It is a mix of my past and present in that in my past I used to doodle a lot of images of a small castle next to a field with the moon up above in the sky. I'm not sure why I did, probably because I loved fantasy stories.
LEFT:Adding to my long list of Fan Art, comes this Eyepot from the game Alice: Madness Returns. A game that when I first saw it, I immediately became inspired. To me, the game was like a goth version of Alice in Wonderland, yet still containing it's childlike appearance. (sort of).
It is a very odd game but for some reason I am drawn to it. The story line is very strange too, since it appears that Wonderland is all in her (Alice) head. I would give an example, but I don't want to spoil anything.
This here is one of the creatures that you fight in the game, called the Eyepot. (Kind of sounds like an apple invention gone wrong). They are very annoying but for some reason I want a replica to put on my desk because at the same time, they are incredibly awesome to look at.
Quick Comparison:
I would say that my work now is more planned then it used to be. Before, I would just grab a piece of paper and draw out whatever came to mind whether it was good or awful. It sounds like a decent method, but as someone who plans on majoring in Art (digital), I had to start planning my work in order to make it a bit more precise (unlike my posts that I make on my blog which is full of typos, ha ha).

I MUST BE EEEEEEMMMMMOOOOO

Alice: Return to Wonderland
Even though the sequel is called Alice: Through the Looking Glass.
