In Which the Civ 5 mod Vox Populi has balance issues...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Wish you a happy Friday, and an excellent weekend that is to come next! How are you? How have you been across the week? As for me, I am okay, overall. The weather on my end has been more consistent, as the days have been relatively hot over a number of them. Not ideal, I hope for more rain to cone at some point!  I, for some reason, decided to take the dust off Civ 6, and play it a bit. I trust this is due my Civ 5 current fatigue. Is it my favorite civ? Absolutely. But that said, as I already saw what I wanted on the vanilla, I did mention this time and again, I have since shifted towards mods such as the big Vox Populi one. That gave this entry a rich afterlife with me, specially as Civ 6 fail to sit well overall.  Alas, this mod is not a silver bullet to revitalize a game that I have play more than enough at this point. I am happy to still try it, but this particular mod has a huge issue concerning wars, which is borderline...

In which the sketch week continues! Meet Trent Bronswick

Hello to you Mr. Dear reader and good morning in this beautiful day of Saturday! How are you? Hope everything is fine, and as always wish you the best! Today is another day on our sketch week! Are you guys enjoying it? I hope so, I know that it's been really funny for me, I'm loving sharing it all with you! Well so today it's being a hot day, it rained but the sun that comes after wipes all the hopes of chilliness far far away, no sweaters for me. So, without further due, let me introduce you to Trent Bronswick and his scared expression!


Trent is scared of a bunch of things: the dark, insects, Chemistry tests, crowded places, and so on! Most of this things are just really uncomfortable feelings that makes his face pratically frozen in his apprehensive and scared expression, but he has some real phobias as well, such as claustrophobia, and as you can expect he has a really anxious personality, but he's more than fear! He's a good listener, he always dresses well and he's always really clean, he's organized and has a gifted memory. Even though he tends to be lonely he likes some people very dearly, such as his family and some friends as well. He likes quiet places and peanut butter. 
And he was born from another sketch I made in an uninspired moment! Let me show you all the doodle that ended up with him: 


So yes, I just sketched this some days before Trent... I liked the idea, but wasn't satisfied with it, and just wasn't in the mood to draw that day, so I kept it in my folder. Later in this week, I organized the drawing better and that's how Trent Bronswick was born! That drawing doesn't sound like it, but definitely is an achievement for me concerning painting with color pencils, since I tried something new with the lines and shading. Like Noah Sliperson, it was a sketch that came out of nowhere and that in the end I liked it!
And our mutual friend, Trent Bronswick, is what we have for today!!! If you're still here reading this you're the best! Can't thank you enough for being here! I see you next time!
