Here we are here we go!

workflow:

I will keep working on this personal sketch Vex page i started, might not spend tons of time on it, got to redraw some part and clean a bit then colours. But it ll remain mostly sketchy.Want to make an halloween special too, got the subject and finaly had an idea, so ll be sexy mostly. Then focus on the remaining reward of past months due, and we ll be done and on time for doing the one of October in November (as it should be) Got a comm to do too, so expect the first rough soon, gonna be Femboy time again! Well i know you guys aren't against these sort of candy time to time =D

Apothecary diary and the endings shenanigans:

After a long pause i finaly watched the season 2 final of the Apothecary Diary. I had 10 episodes left, watched most of it today as i took my sunday. (hey look, i took 2 days off this week, and i almost didn't worked while at it, i'm making progress in learning how to relax =D )I genuinely liked this bittersweet ending. I remember reading back then, that one of the reason so many Franco Japan animation collaboration worked that much is that, in both our culture, we think that a story don't have to end well to be a good ending. Sometimes things don't go well and end on a bittersweet note, or a tragic one. Maybe why so many peoples were pissed off at Arcane ending, like "what? no happy end?" well... man did you saw the show, of course it couldn't end well! It's a French team so... yeah they were gonna write a tragedy =D (we even had a naked woman crying in a shower about her relationship.. find a more Film Français cliche!)All to say, kinda liked this ending, i know they ll do a season 3, kinda curious where it goes. I hope it move forward, i HATE when we have like "oh we start from zero again like if nothing ever happened" when new season start. I also hope the main couple go past the "damn ll they hold end at end of season 5".Anyway, show i liked, not really action type, really centered around court drama, politics and sort of Murder mystery vibe. Curious for the follow up! Next animation to watch would be Hazbin Hotel, saw only the old youtube first episode, and seeing so much friend recomand it.. well we ll see =)

Dispatched on the Haven:

Two game i started recently. Dispatch is the new game from the teams that made the Wolf among us, and the walking dead telltale.And.. it's great! Characters are fun, your action got consequence, and DAMN they put gameplay in between qte XD, the dispatch game is actually cool. Not the first i played, saw same gameplay in a few game before, like This is the police . Same "dispatch unit on case as the day move on" type of action.So what it is about? You play Meca Man, who is more or less the local Iron Man. Your armor get destroyed, issue is.. you're not a billionaire and you lack found to rebuild. But a Hero team propose to help you with that. They just ask you to mentor/be dispatch agent for Team Phoenix.. a project of taking old super criminal and making them superheroes... and so far.. it don't work well. So you do first day, and .. could have been worse. That's all for now, only 2 episodes (chapter) out of 8 played so far. They release 2 episodes by weeks until all are released, so the 29th we have the two next, I'll certainly play it. In a way.. bummer to not have some possibility to "binge" it. But at the same time it give me a "ah yeah every Tuesday night, play my two episodes" sort of rendez vous, wich is nice! Voice acting is top notch, really give heart to the whole, can't wait to have the whole story unveil!Haven is a game i had in my steam library for some times and planed to play for this long. YOu start by picking your couple, Kay and Yu, you choose if they're lesbian, gay, hetero, it don't change much the story, but some dialogue lines and interaction, but the general story remain the same. Core idea of the game was proposed a rpg for couple, you start as a couple, and during fight each control one of them. Tricks is, for special attack both need to do the same actions, at the same time, so it ask a bit of coordination from both, and so communication.BUT you can play alone, then you control both char at the same time.Game is chill, pleasant chill, story is, in the future most human race is spacefare but under supervision of a mega corpo, who control every aspect of your life by algorythm and all. Including love life. You're attributed someone who you match and.. it works actually most of time.. Issue is Kay and Yu knew each others and were a couple already.. and when Kay receive their "mate" it's not Yu, so both escaped on a planet, failled colonization attempt, centuries ago. Not without danger, your ship/home get destroy when you arrive and so far the game is mostly, explore, learn of this new planet, gather food and try to rebuild the ship and make a life here.It's chill, but at the same time i like their interactions. They re still a young couple, they have bickering, they sometimes are angry at each others, they don't always share same view.. And they have to talk it trough, I like how their relation is built, around trying to learn each others deeper.Game is clearly a parabol of when you get your first flat with your partner. How it change dynamic between you, how you have to learn to deal with also the "bad".. and sometimes learn to like it X)It's a neat experience, and so far a really charming game =)

That's about it, thanks for reading this far, if you still are

and c ya soon!
