In my last Serenity blog post I mentioned that I decided to add Orion as a human resident despite him being canonically deceased in the story of Serenity. I finally got around to moving his tent to the beach and decorating inside of it. I mentioned that his tent will be decorated towards the end of development of Serenity so these will be the final touches of Serenity until I’ve finished decorating it.
I was originally going to make his tent into a small camp for camping but I felt like it wasn’t going to match up well with the story/lore I’ve written about Serenity. As you can see in the map, the plan was to call it “Camp Eden”; I chose the name Eden after it’s the garden of Eden— which is kinda similar to the lore of Serenity.
I decided to keep the name Eden and use it in the name of the hospice— which is still rather fitting for the name for the storyline and why there’s a hospice in Serenity. I decided to keep it as a tent as it was “constructed” quite quickly on super short notice.
Inside of the tent is the hospice I’ve mentioned. There’s lots of papers scattered on the floor here, a doctor’s desk, a scale, IV fluids and a hospital bed. Hospice rooms are usually quite nicely decorated to make the person feel comfortable towards the end of their life but this one isn’t— isn’t dark, bleak and depressing.
The scattered papers are letters mixed with Eclipse’s endless research into some miracle cure to save her husband and Orion’s goodbye letters to his daughter, Princess Estella.
I also made a hospital gown for Orion, I’ve made it into a QR code for anyone who might want it. You can find it here.
Stained Glass Windows Revamp
I decided to change the stained glass windows inside of the celestial castle’s sleeping quarters (Eclipse’s bedroom). I already had them refurbished once before to the design pictured but wanted to change the interior part.
I used the flag design of Serenity inside the new refurbished stained glass windows!
So much better in my opinion! It matches the aesthetic of the room a lot better now. 🙂 It’s a shame you can’t get rid of the windows though.
