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...

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!
