Silent: Classic Macabre, Straight-Up Classy Sim

December 19, 2007 in Announcements/Events, Established Designers, FABULOUS by smiletenshi



Building a sim is much like working with a blank canvas and paint. You wash the background, you paint, and then you paint some more - and keep going with the layers until you have something tangible.



That being said, there are a few sims that come to mind that are absolute artwork - Tableau is a classic favorite, and Straylight, but now there’s Silent - a sim that is entirely black and white. Every few colors placed is strategic, and striking at the same time. The insides of the shops include color - and really draw you in. Whether to escape the monotony of the outside (the black and white can be a bit intimidating) or rather that the colors are inviting, warm and friendly… the contrast is its strength.



Take this picture of Mijn Boa, photographed in Silent. Her avatar screams at you, simply by not saying a word - the colors absolutely pop.



I use the word “macabre” in the title because… well, Mister Paulie has added his own little sense of Silent into the sim. This picture is my favorite out of the Silent set (20-some shots) that I captured this evening.
