In Which I recall vivid but long gone past days

Good morning, my friend, reader of this present post! How are you this last day of the business week? As for me, I am okay. Happy it is almost the weekend, and next week I have some doctor appointments booked, it promises being productive, then, or at least have some works done as for example with my ears and eyesight. How is the weather? My area has the weather trending towards rain, grey mornings, which are ones I appreciate, so no issue there, and just a temperance of the heat, summer 2026 is almost a bad memory at this point. I went on a shopping spree the past few days, which is not exactly the most responsible thing, but it is what it is. The most indulgent of the purchases was a pair of pajamas, that I was in spiritual need of. They are a number too big, but it was what was offered by the store when I went to the website, given most of the models were sold off.

Sketch of the week! In which we talk about the guy with many last names!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday to you!! How are you today and how are things going?? As usual, I do wish you the best, and hope your week is going really well! I'm so happy to be here writing this post to you! Today was a really hot day and I'm a bit tired, and college is really being tough, but apart from that I'm having a peaceful day today, I think that's important! Today is also Sketch day so that''s so awesome!! I had a rush of energy this weekend and drew quite a bit! I drew the teapots for my birthday friends, and I also drew my new character, that I'm about to share! I am not too happy about sharing my drawings, but one of the motives of me having this blog is precisely to have a place to write and sketch and so on, so here we are! And we're about to meet the guy with a galaxy in his head!


With his very big eyes, meet Ptolomeus Selene Philopater Philomater Philadelfus Soter! This weekend I read a really small book in the life of Cleopatra VII, the last ruler of Ptolomaic Egypt. Small, but really interesting! Having this in mind, this is one of the rare sketches that was born already with a name and with a hair in mind! His name is an homage to Cleopatra and to Astronomy, and, in greek, means The Warrior from The Moon, who loves his Father, who loves his mother, who loves his brother and is a savior! Sounds like a long name, right? But the Ptolomaic rulers loved to filled their names with fancy titles such as these! My homage to the sky and astronomy comes with his hair, in which I mixed dark blue, really dark blue, and purple, to get this effect. this theme follows his eyes, clothing, and the actual naive stars in the background! I kind of liked this drawing... but if I had to change something, I think his eyes came down too big... but I guess that's the final result, and I liked it! The sky themed Ptolomeus whas also an homage I did to one of my best virtual friends, Corinne, who loves this stuff even more than I do! She's really smart and wonderfull indeed!
Our friend in common, Ptolomeus, is what we have for today!! Thank you so much for reading this, you're the very best, please never forget that! See you next time!!
