In Which we talk about Verosimilitude in Video Games

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post, at the divagation store! How are you? I pray you are well? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, there has been some insane times, the past 3-4 days have been the longest months of all years I lived. I tried writing before, but at the end of the day, it would not be possible to think clearly. Today, I am on a more stable plan. I am really not sure how to write what happened without turning the whole post both too long, I may mention it, but for now, I wanted to just talk of more trivial things. I did play some Victoria 3 today! They will be releasing a new dlc in November 5th, adding a series of events and special content catered towards the Russian Empire. I wonder  if it will make the game joyless for the otherwise lovely time I have developing Russia. My default match in Victoria 3 is selecting Russia, passing lasseiz-faire laws, both freedom of trade and economic descentralization, alongside all it comes wirh it, such a...

Sketch of the Week! In which Christmas goes on!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Happy Boxing day and happy Christmas! I thought about doing a post out of schedule yesterday, but I decided to take the day to rest a bit and return today with the Sketch of the week! Christmas as December 24th and 25th is gone for 2018, but the wonderful season still goes, passing through the new year and it reaches its end on January 5th of 2019! I definitely will keep on celebrating it, and like I keep on saying, Christmas is everyday of the year! It stands on the background for most of the year, and it comes out strong in the special season! This Christmas was one of relaxation and rest. It always is, but this one caught the attention. Played lots of The Sims, and made some sketches! I plan on doing some more in the future, and I do need to return on reading my book!!! It's such a big one, I'm so far for being finished with it! Today after writing this I'll at least try to read one chapter of it. I also need to water my lovely plants! I'm being more careful with the water I give to them, Succulents and Cactuses don't like too much water, so I never know 100% when to water them! I try to keep things on a rhythm, so I give them water every Monday, but I wasn't at home this Monday, so I do have to update them on their water!
Before we begin, I found this lovely piece of illustration yesterday at night, and I just wanted to share it with you guys today!


This is Christmas Eve, made in 1982 by Ronald Searle! A truly playful and lovely image of two nice kittens messin around on the Christmas Tree! I loved the style of it and I love Kittens, this is Christmas for me indeed! Quite quirky and lovely! I needed to share that today with you guys! Right along with the sketch of the week, coming right away:


Coming as the Christmas mansion with trees, a street lamp and a quick Santa Claus passing through the nighty sky, a very bright night, one of those you can almost go to the outdoors and see the words of a book next to you without the need of extra lamps. Santa passes throgh and leaves a trail, there's lots of snow on the ground, and the mansion is standing like a ship on the sea, its lights being reflected on the snow like the snow is water. It's a sea indeed, but a sea of snow, and it goes, deep, cold, powerful. I wanted to make the house with a proper set of colors, something I'm trying to do these days, because I tend to go wild on them, do every wall in a different neon color, too much is too much and it's awesome, this is what I usually do, so sometimes I just try to step back and do a more sober drawing, hard but well, sometimes it's worth it! Hope this was one of those times, hope you found my drawing nice, but honestly thank you so much for just being here. I do appreciate you a lot and you're the very best! This not so small post is what we have for today! See you guys next time!
