@Zuljaras Nice, I thought it looked familiar. Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion. I think it still looks great in black and white, but I may consider putting color in my drawing sometime. I think it would look great in color, too - I have some colored pencils myself.

@ComfyAko Thank you! I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Yep, whenever I draw, I tend to do it the old-fashioned way, lol. It's how I've drawn for some time now, and I took a drawing class that taught me how to draw still-life objects. Much of my drawing is from still life, as well.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄💖✨

@Anti-Matter I don't think it was due to the technical limitations, more like budget issues. It wasn't profitable to put a bigger budget into a game that was already costly due to licensing, and it would still sell even if it was not that good.

@MarioLover92 that's good, still life is a brilliant practice with shape, proportions and composition. I've been struggling to draw for some months now but nothing worth showing yet.

@DreamlandGem Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! What was under the tree?

Merry Christmas guys! (If you get any new physical games don't forget to collect the gold coins from them )

Unless I bought PlayStation games.

Stopping by to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holidays! Been spending time with mom today, so hoping everyone is having a good day today.

Hopefully, I'll respond to any messages sometime after the holiday is over.

@Vortexeo thank you for reminding me that this is actually a thing

Hiya everyone... Merry Christmas! 🚂 Have a wonderful day with loved ones. Bit random but I tried out VR with my family and oh man... I REALLY like it, I wanna snag me a headset some day. 😎 Been a while since I've been around here on the ole cc thread hey.. Happy Holidays 💖

How would you go about selling a game code? I got a PS5 for Christmas and the god of war one was the only one available. I don’t play M rated games so it has no use for me.

Thanks for the reminder!

Happy Boxing Day ! (26 December) 😁

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and holiday! My Christmas was great - I had some nice family time and I got some cool presents, like some Switch games, and even the Sega Genesis Mini 2. (I seriously didn't think I would get it!) Of course, I gave some nice presents as well, 'cause I'm a nice guy.

@DreamlandGem Merry Christmas to you as well! I hope you had a wonderful day. If you're interested, I posted my Christmas drawing a couple days back in this thread, though I somehow forgot to tag your username. My bad!

@ComfyAko Oh I agree for sure. It really allows you to train your eye and notice small details while you're drawing figures and stuff like that. Same thing with painting. Though, that does cause me to overthink things while I'm drawing, lol. Ah gotcha, I should draw more often, honestly. It's been too long since I last drew.

@Eel Merry Christmas to you too. To list a few gifts of mine, I got some Switch games like Splatoon 3 and Persona 5 Royal - I was gonna play Splatoon 3 first, but the update was taking a good while to install, so I played P5R to pass the time. I even got the Sega Genesis Mini 2. Hope your Christmas/holiday was awesome!

@MarioLover92 Yeah, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed when you just start drawing/painting. I watched so many tutorials, made so many notes like "do the same thing 20 times with small changes (iterative drawing)" to learn faster but when I actually get to open Krita I just... "ok let's paint the same thing (character standing from 3/4 perspective) for the 921464764th time. Start drawing you're out of time STARTDRAWINGNOW".

I feel like I turned it from fun into a chore just because I wanted to git gud fast. Now I'm unconsciously avoiding it altogether.

Hope y'alls be having good cheer and merry spirit. Had a great Christmas with family, went out to see Avatar: The Way of Water this afternoon. Spectacular, beautifully-made movie with such a meticulous vision for the world of Pandora.

Well, I got Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for Christmas, so yay for me.

I still working on Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4.
I keep collecting Orichalcum ores to get the invite in order to repair the greenhouse and upgrade my house to final expansion.
A lot of things to do by getting more money to pay the final house expansion for 1 Million & prepare the required items to upgrade my house. It was very grindy and the process in getting the processed products was very slow and very tedious.

Merry Christmas from me too!

I hope you all got what you wanted!

Currently I am having internal struggle if I should purchase the Steam Deck. Playing my obscure PC games on a handheld that is with amazing build quality and having one of the best repairability and upgrade opportunities on the market.

But still, it costs 400$

I will cry myself to sleep and everything will be fine

I'm back from Christmas celebrations!

Spent the last two days down the country with a couple of relatives where we had massive breakfasts, played karaoke till the cows came home and overall had a fantastic time. I also managed to get a whole lot of gaming done in the downtime in between all of the crazy stuff happening such as:

• Grabbing 4 shinies on Christmas Day in Pokemon Scarlet with Sandy Shocks, Snom, Cubchoo and Cetoddle (plus an extra Croagunk I grabbed in Legends Arceus on the way back today!)
• Finally beating Mario + Rabbids: Donkey Kong Adventure after putting it on the backburner for just under a year (an excellent bit of DLC I'd recommend to anyone who has Kingdom Battle)
• Delving into some NSO games I missed such as starting Earthworm Jim (as a game it's OK so far but has some absolutely phenomenal animation/slapstick) and starting and beating Congo's Caper in a single 75 minute session (....the less said about this one the better).

So yeah: I had a pretty great time overall. We'll see if I can grab any games with Christmas money but even if that falls through, I've had a blast this year. Bring on 2023 baby!

@Fizza Welcome back.
