As early access launch of Player housing in WoW nears, it's probably safe to say that these four builds are the most impressive things I managed to put together in preparation to when I can bring my Undermine apartment to life. Just need more Gob stuff. 😎👍

Continuing my final tests of #playerhousing in the #worldofwarcraft #midnight beta.

This time I made a sink. I used a washtub to add the water in the basin, even managing to somewhat make the soap and scrub included in that a part of the scene, though clipping a bit into the table.

Made a goblin stovetop in #playerhousing in the #worldofwarcraft #midnight beta. I feel like I'm really getting the hang of this. Can't wait for the official launch on housing. SOON.

The cheek tusks is an odd thing, because there is a precedent for it in older design. Frost King Malakk and the crusty Amani mobs in Eversong Woods have that thing going on. (also the pink tusks are RAD)

I like to think it's a rare genetic trait that makes the tusks grow from an unusual place.

Saw this fella while doing a delve. Crab allied race for the Horde confirmed???

jokes is jokes, but I love this little guy 🦀

For a favorite full room, though... Gotta be the bathroom.
November 28, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Not so much a room as a very specific corner of a room.
I'm trying to capture that depressing studio apartment feeling (specifically set in Undermine) so I OBVIOUSLY need a TV corner with a custom recliner and state of the art 4:3 Goblin TV.

I always miss some tiny editing blemish when I finish things like these. You see this tiny little crack on Gridcog's arm? A leftover from when I needed to resize the forearm. Unnoticeable for anyone but me, but it will haunt me FOREVER.

Foreman Gridcog in his Undermine apartment on one of his company mandated days off, catching the late night news on the telly.

(he is not allowed to visit any work sites on his off days, because the higher ups know he would just start working. Gridcog hates being off the clock.)

Funny enough, the one version of my main OC, Foreman Gridcog, that I've most clearly defined, is his childhood version, which I went through several iterations of before getting to the final look. Also the most fleshed out part of my characters backstory, even if most of it is just inside my head.
November 26, 2025 at 8:48 PM
I struggle so much with getting my OC's appearance down. It feels like every time I draw him, it comes off way different. Even the skin hue varies. They're all fun takes. I just wish I had the time and energy to do MORE to nail the look down.
November 26, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Seriously, just look at this guy, He needs his papers.
November 26, 2025 at 8:39 PM
A lot of these book stacks are already added, I think, but I'm going to need all these notes and letters and paper stacks FOR SURE. When I played around with WoW models in Blender, making a busy office with this stuff was my favorite part. Just endless amount of paperwork.
November 26, 2025 at 8:39 PM
I was doing some BfA reps in preparation for Player Housing and saw some stuff I hope we see as decor at some point.

This time it's papers. I'm going to be making an office for my Goblin and he's a serious workaholic. I need paperwork. #worldofwarcraft #midnight

Kaja-Cola: OVERTIME

It's an energy drink variant* of Kaja-Cola products, for when a job goes into crunch and you just gotta push through to get the job done.

(*regular Kaja-Cola on it's OWN is already plenty energetic, but this stuff will make your heart explode if not careful)

I adjusted Foreman Gridcog's apartments kitchen a little bit to make the work surfaces more designed for Goblin height. It's actually kind of tough to get that look right without making everything super tiny.
November 24, 2025 at 7:11 PM
I updated the scuff TV in Foreman Gridcog's living room. Replaced the crate with a Goblin box. The window I used for the screen is a little too big and clips outside, but I feel the metal crate works better for the vibe. I'm so lucky Goblin tech is very scuff by DESIGN. 📺😎👌

Last housing test for the night.

As I've made a custom lower ceiling for the apartment, it left a tight "attic" type space above. So, I grabbed some shelves for a ladder, flipped a door horizontal to serve as a hatch and made the attic. I like having little nooks like this. Just need some cobwebs.
November 23, 2025 at 9:21 PM
A simple chair underneath as a base and then I used the two cushions pictured below to make the arm and back rest.
November 23, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Did some work on the kitchen part of the apartment. Very unfinished, but I did make this scuffed refrigerator.
November 23, 2025 at 7:25 PM
I added some more detail to my #worldofwarcraft Midnight Beta Player Housing instance. My vision for my Goblins apartment is to have it be a much sadder bachelor pad, but since I haven't dabbled with dyes yet, it's all much more vibrant right now. Don't worry, I'll make it all brown and gray SOON.
November 23, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Went around to get some Gnome and Goblin decor from Mechagon and Undermine to make this little bathroom. It turned out alright and I'm happy to see that the round carpet makes for good water surfaces. I can use that for oil puddles later.

I also tested this idea of having an office in the 2nd floor portion of an empty stairwell that will double as the reception on the ground floor. It's a little snug, but I can probably adjust this to work really well. Saving on the room budget and all. The custom stairs will be expensive, though.

Hopped on the Midnight Beta to play around with housing. I did some tests for my housing plans, but I realize I'm going to have to limít myself until I get the house level up so I can have all the rooms I want

I did make this little bedroom, though it all feels a little off without Goblin wallpaper
November 23, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Very scuffed in a lot of parts with the character not being designed for cutscenes, but playing the little gremlin was so much fun since I have an obvious in-built fixation for being a little creature.
