This Is Gorgeous! I Love It!

This is gorgeous! I love it!

Eu fiz essas ilustrações durante o Dia dos Namorados de 2022, eu amo demais esse projeto!

"Uma moça inteligente e determinada, que para salvar seu pai de uma dívida, vai trabalhar na mansão de um jovem veterano da Segunda Guerra, recluso e amargurado pelas cicatrizes em seu rosto devido ao campo de batalha."

I made these during brazilian's Valentine's Day 2022, and I love it so much!

"An intelligent and determined lady, to save her father from a debt, decides to work on a manor of a young, World War II vet, recluse and bitter due to the scars in his face caused by the battlefield."

Individual family posts will go up through the queue this week. 😊 Feel free to ask questions!

Bluewater Village 2024

I'm not going to be documenting every detail this time, but I am back in Bluewater! (I finally found a work/life balance that lets me play sims every once in a while!) I've played four rounds now, so maybe 15-20 years? Let's call it 20 because it's a nicer number.

I'm still playing with the basic rules I had all those years ago (2016!) but I focused more on gameplay than on storytelling and I've changed some of the challenges. I'll share more about each family and their challenges in individual posts. (Otherwise this one would get way too big!)

The Kat Family (need new challenge)

I tried. I really really really really really really really really tried. I tried to do the cat thing. I was going to be really good. I was going to have her breed the cats and then she owns a pet shop now and she was going to go to the pet shop with the cats and sell them to customers there and somehow raised 20 cats. I think we got to maybe eight total before I finally gave up this past round. All of the cats are in the adoption pool now.

So, yeah, these guys need a new challenge… I will be looking for one. In the meantime, Tara married Alan Cho, a Bluewater townie who knocked her up. they are fine together. I don’t mind them at all. (They’re kind of boring… maybe now all the cats are gone I can find something more interesting for them to do…)

They have twins, because of course they do. Their daughter’s name is Angora. Their son’s name is Bombay. Because Tara the obsessed cat lady would obviously name her children after breeds of cats. they just became children instead of toddlers, so all I know about them right now is they used to both like throwing Pet food in the air. Which might say something more about Tara’s parenting, then about her children.

I need to find just the right challenge for these guys… We’ll see what I come up with.

The Traveller I’m Surrounded By Idiots Challenge

I don’t think I included these guys in the original Bluewater challenge, but I really like them. I always got the impression from these guys that Trisha is the only one with the brain cell. Therefore, she is the only one with the brain cell in this challenge, and by brain cell I mean plumbob.

I honestly thought this was going to be way harder than it actually has been. These guys are way less chaotic than the Kims. Trisha has managed to: raise Tina well enough and get her grades high enough that she went to college with a scholarship for her A+ grades, keep everybody alive, and have another child named Troy, who is newly a teenager.

The one trick that I learned to do with this family was to have the parent queue up an interaction with their child and then queue up the help with homework interaction. So if I had Trisha hug Tina and then offered to do her homework with her, it worked way better than just clicking help with homework.

Troy is going to become the torch holder for the family once he goes to college and returns. Tina is technically free of the challenge now that she’s in college. I will have to find something else for her to do once she graduates because as a premade, she cannot inherit the family challenge.

I had never played an ISBI challenge before this, but I actually really kind of enjoy it. I’m looking forward to what comes with this family.

Here's my favorite drawings of 2023, wooooo! It's so fun to see all the different seasons represented. I'm curious, which of these do you like most?

Thank you for following along with my art this year! I feel so lucky that anyone connects with my weird little drawings. Your attention and kindness is very much appreciated. ♥

Here's to more growth in 2024!
