¿Quién No Quiere Un Poco De Cariño?

Thanks for tagging me, @sourirenoire !!

My WIPs are mostly comic related. The tittles are in Spanish, but I'll try to translate them. These are about Star Trek:

-Inverosímiles ("Improbable" would be a translation, but doesn't convince me)

-Part 2 (goes after my comic Guilty by accident. It's not the continuation of the story, just other story)

And I have other one, not Trek:

-Life of Destructors (it's my biggest project)

Sus dibujos son muy hermosos y me gustan mucho 💝

(Creo que esta es la primera vez que alguien me habla por aquí 😁. Hola!)

(I think this is the first time someone has spoken to me through this 😁. Hello!)

Muchas gracias!! 😊 Es genial ver que a otras personas les gusta lo que hago.

Thank you so much!! 😊 It's great to see that other people like what I do.

Yo intento subir dibujos lo más seguido posible, pero a veces no tengo tiempo con los estudios. Eso sí, no se me olvida nada, y cuando quiero subir algo, lo subo, aunque tarde más de lo esperado.

I try to upload drawings as often as possible, but sometimes I don't have time with my studies. But I don't forget anything, and when I want to upload something, I upload it, even if it takes longer than expected.

PD: Gracias por hablarme 😄

Esto lo tendría que haber publicado ayer, pero cuando acabé ya era de noche y las fotos salían muy oscuras 😬

I should have posted this yesterday, but by the time I finished it was already too late at night and the pictures were too dark 😬.

¿Eres de bailar o no tienes ritmo (como yo xd)? ¿Qué harías si McCoy o Spock te pidiera bailar? ¿Qué estilo sería?

Are you a dancer or do you have no rhythm (like me xd)? What would you do if McCoy or Spock asked you to dance? What style would it be?

- "Mister Spock, wanna dance?"

He buscado referencias de personas bailando para dibujar esto. Me he fijado más en bailes españoles, concretamente flamencos.

I have looked for references of people dancing to draw this. I have focused more on Spanish dances, concretelly flamenco.

(Ayer se me olvidó cómo dibujar a Spock... Y, por cierto, no os fijéis en la manos ni los pies)

(Yesterday I forgot how to draw Spock... And, by the way, don't look at the hands and feet)

(More drawings below)

Ups, es la primera vez que Spock baila en serio y ha pisado a McCoy, pero Bones no se ha molestado (bastante que el vulcaniano ha aceptado su propuesta)

Oops, this is the first time Spock has danced seriously and stepped on McCoy's toes, but Bones didn't mind (enough that the Vulcan accepted his proposal)

- "Forgive me"

- "You're doin' it pretty well for a first time"

McCoy nunca pensó que acabaría bailando con Spock en alguna fiesta, pero aquí están. De hecho, está sorprendido de lo bien que maneja Spock la situación

McCoy never thought he'd end up dancing with Spock at a party, but here they are. In fact, he's surprised at how well Spock handles the situation

Con un paso algo arriesgado, el vulcaniano se gana al doctor. Menos mal que no acabaron en el suelo 😆

With a somewhat risky step, the Vulcan wins over the doctor. Good thing they didn't end up on the ground 😆

Sigo subiendo el cómic. Si veis que en unos cuantos días no subo la continuación es porque estoy con el fic de Spones de vacaciones del que hablé. A ver si consigo acabar el primer capítulo para el día 31... (Tengo pensado subir uno o dos capítulos por mes, aunque en cuanto empiecen las clases me será complicado)

I keep posting the comic. If you see that in a few days I don't upload the continuation, it's because I'm with the Spones fic on holidays that I talked about. Let's see if I manage to finish it by the 31st... (I plan to upload one or two chapters per month, although it will be difficult as soon as university starts)

The Mediterranean Sea, the typical warmth of the area, the exquisite food, the places full of medieval history, the outdoor areas far away from anyone else, a cosy house by the beach, sports of all kinds, walks in dreamlike places, charismatic locals, a guide hired by Jim... The crew of the Enterprise is on holiday in August. Jim, Spock and McCoy want to rest and not have to worry about anything for a whole month, bathe in the sea, lie on the sand, walk around the town and surrounding areas of interest... Just like any other holidaymaker. However, every day something unusual will happen to them, some things stranger than others, some caused by them, others by pure luck. Meanwhile, Spock and McCoy have some moments where they consider their friendship and possible deeper feelings. They have times alone when they can intimate and develop those feelings, times when Jim will seem like the best company to break that awkward silence. But in both of those situations, they are together and that is something they like. Will that place help them to confess to each other what they really feel?

Here is the first chapter of the Spones fic I talked about.

I took me more time than I expected in translating from Spanish. Also, it’s longer than I firstly thought, but I managed to finish it in August (in the limit)

He encontrado una referencia de ropa antigua griega y me apetecía dibujar

I found a reference of ancient Greek clothing and I wanted to draw something

La versión del universo normal sugiere que Spock está apoyando a McCoy en cualquier situación.

The version of the normal universe suggests that Spock is supporting McCoy in any situation.

La versión del universo del Mirror dice que Spock es una persona importante, que debe cuidar su imagen ante el resto (especialmente los enemigos), y que, al ser "superior", los demás deben arrodillarse ante él. Obviamente, también se lleva bien con McCoy, pero prefiere no mostrar su "debilidad".

The version of the Mirrorverse says that Spock is an important person, that he must take care of his image in front of others (especially enemies), and that, being "superior", others must kneel before him. Obviously, he also gets on well with McCoy, but he prefers not to show his "weakness".

"The Quarry", a horror videogame

My opinion

This part doesn't contain spoilers.

The Quarry is a videogame created by Supermassive Games, the same people who created Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology series (Man of Medan, Little Hope and House of Ashes). The protagonists, just like in Until Dawn, are a group of teenagers (although they are around 18, I'd call them youngsters. You know they are that age because they say more than once that they're going to start university). During the summer, they are the monitors at Hackett's Quarry camp, run by Chris Hackett. The trouble starts when two monitors turn up early for the camp.

Personally, it's a game that I really liked, because it has a lot of mystery and I like to try to figure it out before a character tells you, and also, it has choices and that makes you responsible for what happens in the story. It's like choosing how each character develops and how they behave, whether you want them to misbehave with each other, or get along better. I liked it more than Until Dawn, for me the story is more interesting and the decisions are much more important (which means that you don't need to know how to play videogames to get a good ending, because many of the deaths are due to bad decisions or not having done enough research), apart from the fact that it's not such a gore game (I can't stand gore, although after a while watching horror videogames, I'm getting used to it 😅).

I've seen people who have played it complain that "they got a bad ending". You don't get a bad ending, it's triggered by your decisions (it's true that you can miss a Quick Time Event, that is, miss a key or button to dodge something and die, and for me that doesn't really matter, it's just a matter of reflexes and being aware. What's so funny if a character dies for not jumping properly? That happens in real life, but in games and movies the deaths are usually not so pathetic). But still, from what I've seen, it's much more about the decisions. As I was saying, the ending is chosen by you, and because there are so many important decisions, there are many possible endings (each character can have up to 10 different ways to die and there are 9 characters you can control). Obviously, if you get all the youngsters to survive, that's a good ending, but there are more characters besides them that you can also cause to die or not. More things I liked were how they connected all the dots in the story at the end.

There are also things I didn't like about the game, for example, some characters change their minds drastically without any explanation, or have an attitude that also changes suddenly, as if bits and pieces of the story had been cut and pasted. Another thing in relation to character development is that they don't tell each other things. They've seen something strange, dangerous or whatever, but they don't tell the others, or they're trying to help you, but they're not able to tell you, that gets on my nerves 😠. And I'd better not talk about many of the dialogues, which seem to have been forced… In this, the game developers could have made more effort so that the story would have a better sense, continuity and some situations wouldn't be heavy, uncomfortable or unnecessary. Although I must admit that the characters become more serious as the game progresses, and that's a plus (considering that at the beginning they behave as if they were 12 years old).

Well, after giving my opinion, I'm going to comment on some things about the story that I saw, and that are pretty close to what I would have chosen (I'm not summarising because it's a very long story and it's not at all the same playing it or watching it as reading a summary):

Spoilers from here:

There are 10 chapters and a prologue. Between each chapter the game is "paused" and the typical person appears who advises you what to do, as in other videogames by these creators. She's an old woman in this case, and she'll show you possible futures if you find her tarot cards.

One point I liked is that this old woman is to blame for everything, because if she didn't have Silas in her show as an attraction, Caleb and Kaylee wouldn't have tried to help him escape and neither of them would have ended up as lycanthropes. Also, the fact that she tries to convince you not to kill Silas, especially in the last moments of the game when you're aiming for him, is great.

I also really liked the fact that decisions that don't seem to matter can later help you save a character or avoid risking their life, for example, if when Laura is in the cell she misbehaves with the sheriff, then he kills her in the fight at the Hackett's house. Or, if you break the door of the wooden house where Abi and Kaitlyn had the luggage, they can hide when the werewolf attacks them on the radio. Or even, if you find a stuffed animal with Kaytlyn, then you can save her in the final fight in the wooden house if you don't want to kill Caleb turned into a werewolf.

One thing I didn't like is the behaviour of the Hackett family. They are supposed to be protecting the teenagers, but they don't warn them. I'm guessing it's because they've already been in trouble with other people and don't want to go to jail or anything like that (throughout the game you find out what the Hacketts are really like and how long they've been covering up their crimes - in fact, Travis, the sheriff, became a sheriff to cover up them). But once the youngsters know what's going on, it wouldn't hurt to tell them that they're saving them. I also liked the development of Travis' character, who only wanted to kill Silas to free his family. He comes across as menacing, sinister, even as a bad person at first, but if you choose correctly, you grow fond of him in the end, as he can trust you and show you his good side (he's one of my favourite characters along with Laura and Kaytlyn).

And an important detail is to take evidence, clues and that. They help you to discover the story, to explain some things or even to prove the innocence of the protagonists, and they are very interesting. On the credits screen, you'll hear the people doing the podcast that Ryan was listening to at the beginning. Depending on whether you saved all the young people or not, the front pages of the newspapers will say that they'll go to jail or that they were attacked by a bear, but at the end of the podcast, that headline may change depending on the evidence you found during the game (there are 10 pieces of evidence, one for each chapter). If you didn't find any or not enough, they won't investigate what happened (the Hacketts will still cover it up if they're not dead), but if you have enough, you can get the mystery solved.

Finally, you can't save all the characters that appear at the end (on the screen when you go name by name to see if they are alive or dead). The main objective would be to save the young people and remove the curse of Hackett's Quarry by killing Silas, but if you can save the members of Hackett's family, all the better. I saw an ending where all the young people lived and also Bobby (a brother of Chris Hackett), Travis (the other brother, the sheriff), Jebediah (the father), Max and Laura. The mother Constance, Chris, Kaylee, Caleb and Silas died. Doing a bit of research, to get the best ending you need Kaylee (in fact it's not your choice whether she dies or not), Chris and Silas to die. I didn't care if Constance died, because I didn't like her reaction when she found out her granddaughter was dead: she blamed Travis (on one hand it's his fault for not containing Laura in the cell), but is it really his fault? I mean, she has three electrified cells in the basement, one for each family member that is a werewolf, and that night, which is when they have to lock them up because the young ones are in the camp, they don't. They decide it's better that Chris is being tied to a wooden beam in the attic and Kaylee and Caleb I don't even know where they left them (because they turn up in the forest). Laura was smart by leaving Max on the island, but the Hackett family let theirs go away. It's something I don't understand. I also don't know if the first werewolf who attacked the teenagers (specifically Nick, right after playing Truth or Dare) was Silas or one of Chris's two sons. If it was Silas, it would justify the hunters being around, but they could have warned the youngsters that Nick was going to transform and they should lock him up, and thus help them and shelter them at their home. But well… here it seems that they don't think.

One last thing I didn't like is Ryan's attitude right after they meet Laura and she tells them what she's been through. He behaves as if he hasn't seen what has happened to Nick. It's normal that he doesn't want to kill Chris, because he has known him for a long time and his children are his friends, but after hearing that Chris' brother had Laura and Max locked up, and after having seen many suspicious clues, his opinion about the Hackett family should have changed a bit. It's because of this "flaw" that Ryan stopped being one of my favourite characters (not that he's a character I hate either, but I stopped liking him so much). I put flaw in quotes because it's not a flaw of the game as such, the character may have that personality and that way of seeing things, but I don't share it, it's something that doesn't make much sense to me and makes that scene strange.

Despite these things without apparent sense, I really liked the story, it was very interesting, and the fact that they put all the pieces together at the end makes you hooked to it and want to know what else happens. There are moments of tension when you don't know what will be best for the characters, and that's the essence of the game and what I like the most: that your choices save or kill the characters, and not a silly thing like not hitting a key when it's due (I have to add that sometimes it's better not to hit it, for example, when you're struggling with Constance, so you save her. However, in those cases you have to hit it more than once, so they also count as a choice).

I don't usually like reboot universes because of the changes in personality of the characters (in fact I don't like AOS as much as I love TOS), but this post changes my mind.

The story is really ellaborated (in the good sense), and I love the fact that Jim is not so different from TOS (considering his difficult past).

This post had made me realise that AOS is as good as TOS and they can't be compared in terms of the quality of the story, because they're both great.

It's true that I will always like TOS better, but that's for a separate reason (specifically for Nimoy and DeForest Kelley 😆)

Jim Kirk went to Tarsus IV. And survived.

While it’s never confirmed or commented on the reboot Star trek movies, you can see many hints about it if you take a closer look.

Hace mucho tiempo que no subo ningún dibujo y yo creo que ya era hora de uno nuevo.

It's been a long time since I've uploaded a drawing and I think it's about time for a new one.

He estado tomándome un descanso después de la época de exámenes, pero ahora intentaré hacer dibujos con una cierta frecuencia (no prometo nada 😆).

I've been taking a break after the exam period, but now I'll try to make drawings with a certain frequency (no promises 😆).

Siento esa suciedad en el dibujo... Se me complicó un poco y no se me da bien dibujar en electrónico. Ojalá supiera... 😢

I'm sorry for the dirt in the drawing.... It got a bit complicated and I'm not good at drawing in electronic. I wish I knew how... 😢
