In Which we have many years in a week: Morning in Brazil, too?

Good morning, most kind and dear friend, reader of this present post, too! How are you? This is a post I have been trying to write since this Tuesday or so... and it has been quite hard to think on what to develop into a more substancial thought. There is a lot that I would like to talk, and I was terrified of starting a post, only to delete it and leave it at that, it happened time and again, and it destroys me for the moment. I don't know why such a strong repulsion against starting a thought and not knowing how to end, not finding a good way to conclude. Perhaps it is fear of fatigue. Or of being mistreated. But I do have an ongoing trend that I perceive, I really, really wanted to mention it. I did start the year a bit annoyed with the 2016 nostalgia, and on that line, I said that it was more of a 1989 year than 2016. I said it due to the capture of Maduro, the (ongoing) second Iranian Revolution and war, the immense losses the left suffered across latin America, that brought s...

In Which I try to Balance Things Out!

Hello everyone and good morning! Good morning indeed! How are you, how are things going? I wish you the best, and I hope all is well! How is the weather? Here, it is hot, but my bedroom is okay, I have a fan and so on, fans are nice, they help me, that's for sure! Without them I'd be sweating like crazy! I'd hate that as I hate sweat! 
These days, my most productive moment of the day is the morning! Right when I wake up and drink my coffee is when I feel motivated to do stuff, but what to do? Today for example, I felt in conflict between drawing, finishing drawings, doing stuff on Illustrator or playing games or writing on the blog, even! Fortunately, I decided to write on the blog, but you guys know the drill, it's hard to figure my mind up! And if I play games, what to play? Anno? Frostpunk, a game that a lovely friend gifted me two days ago? The Sims? Civ? All of them have their pros and cons to consider, sometimes I can't decide and I play nothing, in fact I do nothing for the whole moment, which is such a loss!
Anyway, I also need to start rewatching Over The Garden Wall, for ideas for my fanfic that I may or may not write. And I also have some drawings to finish! Yesterday I managed to finish this one in Illustrator! It is based on this illustration I made in real life, that I also wanted to share with you guys! So first, here's the Illustration mess I made to my friend MattOverYonder, an amazing guy!

And here is the original illustration that I based myself in order to do this one, check it out! It has a few differences, but I think overall the result looks really similar...

What do you prefer? I of course wanted to make some changes to the illustration, I wasn't too convinced on the size of the mustache, for example, so I decided to apply all this to Illustrator, because why not? It's the first time I vectorize a drawing like that, I think I'm kinda satisfied with the result, I went sort of crazy on it, which is nice, and my friend Matt liked it, which is such a nice thing! I'm so happy he did! I feel I could talk a bit further on this drawing, like the beanie was inspired by a small hat for children Matt was using on his streams! It was super fun and cute and I wanted to represent that! Anyway, also, Matt wear glasses and he is kinda ginger, I wanted to bring that to the drawing as well, though he ended up being more ginger than he actually is! Do you think I did a good job? Feel free to let me know! And thank you for being here, my friend, it means a lot! I didn't write it too much today, but I wanted to at least write something! Just want to have a nice productive December, but I don't know, I feel like resting as well! Let's see how it goes, either way, I hope it may be a good one, even if I do miss grandpa and so on, life moves forward!
