In Which Civilization has a SimCity moment, a bad omen

Hello there, my good friend, kind reader of this post! Happy Friday! Hopefully another beautiful day, maybe we should indeed give it the benefit of the doubt! How are you, my friend? How have you been? I have not write much these days, alas... It is that thing of having some stuff in my head but not being able to take them out to my satisfaction. I mean, we could as well be seeing the collapse of the Civilization franchise, for example. I think I wrote it before here, that I am not optimistic about this title, that their heart (if at all) is in the wrong place for this entry... I could smell the miasma, but now it is clear: reality is even worse than the predictions and projections of before. The Steam consensus, this morning, got as low as 33%, an absolute catastrophic number for the franchise, it is a snapshot of the bad User Interface, the lack of customisation on the game, its mechanics ossifying the main building, or ot is what is implied on even the milder of reviews. I did not h...

Sketch of the week! In which we meet Pierre Shelton!

Hello everyone!! Happy Wednesday/Thursday to you!! Wish you a good night and hope you had a good day! It's quite late for a post right? I usually write earlier, but anyway, here I am, and so glad to be here! And how are you? How are things going? I do wish things were great today, as I already told you guys, I'm afraid I repeat myself sometimes while writing, that's something I usually do, but also, I do wish you good!
My day was calm and I managed to watch The Voice, which is my favorite show, and today I saw some amazing performances and also got to see my Uncle Blakie and Uncle Adam, so that's great! (they're not really my uncles, just to let this clear). College was tiring but fine, I think I had a productive day, so that's good! Just one day at a time, one hour at a time, I think I might have some good moments and I always try to be ready for them, so that's something. And now, enough with the small talk, let's have our sketch of the week! Meet Pierre Shelton!


Born out of nowhere in the late weeks of September, he was part of an experimentation series I'm doing because of Halloween season! He has strong eyebags, his skin is scared pale and his nose is red, the shadings got more proeminent and the characters are always scared by something, or maybe they're scared by nature, this is definitely the case with Pierre.
This shy fan of Country music and nice clothes, with his blue hair, is never sure on what say to people, he feels he always says the wrong thing, so he's always with his nervous expression on. Despite living the urban life, Country music is his refuge, and he's constantly listening to his idols, such as Tammy Wynette, Linda Ronstadt, Hank Williams, and, of course, Blake Shelton. Country gives him the courage he needs to just get up his bed and live on with his day. That's our boy today, Pierre Shelton!
Most of my sketches are born nameless and with no character in mind, and I just slowly go assemble them, trying to give them a nice story and a soul. A friend helped me with his name, he said he looked like a Pierre. I knew he was shy though, when he appeared in front of me, so I wanted to make a pun with the word "shy". Nothing came to my mind, until I realize Shelton would be a nice addiction to his name. Here we have it, Pierre Shelton! I'm so happy to have people that gives me this suggestions too, I do like my friends and the people I talk to, they're really nice!
So, Pierre is what we have for today, in this very late post! If you're here, reading this, you're the very best, and I'm so grateful for your presence! Wish you a great night indeed, and see you on the next post, hopefully!
