Jacquet I’m a Lover Challenge

You’ll notice somebody very important missing from the Jacquet family photo. Denise died at the very last minute of this last round. She was 70 days old. She definitely made an impact.

I changed the challenge for these guys as well. Originally again, I think they were some kind of random occurrence scenario based challenge, but then I found the I’m a lover challenge. It’s perfect for these guys.

Denise counts as the founder. She was married to her husband Yves until his untimely death, which obviously happens before the premade story starts. Yves owned the bakery and, thanks to the challenge, Denise wrote romance novels. I think it became more of a passion for her after he died. I also think she was a little embarrassed, because she definitely wrote bodice rippers.

Gilbert grew up seeing his parents passionately in love and really wanted that for himself. Because he’s a romance, Sim, I imagine he dated a lot in high school in college. He was looking for that spark. He didn’t exactly find the spark he wanted with Brianna (although I absolutely adore her and she’s one of my favorites, and I put them together on purpose) but she ended up getting pregnant and Denise had old-fashioned ideas. They currently have three kids: Roman the teenager and twins Yvette and Nicole.

Technically, the challenge rules just say that Gilbert has to get divorced. They do not say any reason why. However, I’m thinking that the death of his mother is going to send him spiraling, looking for that spark, that he still feels like he doesn’t have, into the arms of another Sim…

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!

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.

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."
