No, I generally don't have a desire to live in some remote area. I haven't liked villages and the like since childhood. Swimming is certainly pleasant, as is walking through forests (no), hills, mountains, and so on, plus it's good for your health, but that's all. I've had a couple of thoughts about how it might be nice to live somewhere by the sea on the edge of the world (for various reasons), but these are temporary impulses, and I doubt I could stay there for long.

And yes, I understand that there are normal villages/towns and so on, and not just the ones we have.

In the mountains, it's actually quite comfortable to walk – unless you specifically try to climb to the very top. In the plains, the grass is waist-high, there's a lot of undergrowth, and in rainy weather, there's mud up to your ankles. In the forests, there are incredibly dense thickets, bears roam around, and it's easy to get lost. But in the mountains, there's always solid ground under your feet, you can see everything around you, and it's bright and clear. Perhaps people like mountains for that reason.

It feels like with each contest, the guys are getting more and more... well, less creative.

Come on, a couple of them, not counting mine, are actually pretty good.

I'd like to see how you would live in such a place and how long you would last. You're idealizing mountains and the like too much.

What's so difficult about living in the mountains? I've been there many times, and if you have the basic necessities, it's all advantages, isn't it?
It's in those idiotic, soul-crushing new buildings in the suburbs that you barely hold on, just to keep your sanity, and that's where it's tough.

That's when you're clinging on for dear life in those awful, soul-crushing new apartment buildings, just trying to keep your sanity. That's where it really hits you.

These high-rise apartment blocks are our everything.

"Visiting" and living somewhere permanently are slightly different things. If there is a house of your own (of a decent size) with **all** the amenities, plus a constant supply of all the necessary food (which isn't easy to come by everywhere due to the climate) and other necessities for a comfortable and convenient life, then one might consider it, but even then, over time, drawbacks will emerge that will cause discomfort and limit you in some way. Even in your own cottage outside the city, they will exist, albeit in a different quantity or of a different nature.

Live with your parents, and you will always have everything you need for a comfortable life.

Live with your parents, and you'll always have everything you need for a comfortable life.

That's what I'm doing. True, my parents constantly complain about the moans of repentance from righteous Christian women.

Come on, a couple of stuffed animals, not counting mine, are actually pretty good.

Exactly, out of ten pictures, only a couple of stuffed animals are decent.

Live with your parents, and you'll always have everything you need for a comfortable life.

And what's the point of this?
It's great that your parents provide you with comfort, but I was talking about other conveniences.

Regarding the locations. Overall, the contest turned out to be surprisingly interesting. Initially, I just wanted to skip it, and then submit some beautiful natural location, but I honestly admitted to myself that I am more attracted to urban jungles. 1 - 4. The Alps are beautiful, but I am a child of civilization, so I would only visit them for a day trip for general cultural enrichment. It's better to look at photos on Google or buy Skyrim. 2 - 2. No, no, no, and a thousand times no. It's terribly hot there, and I'll get heatstroke after ten meters, and it's also a desert. The architecture is good, so it's not a one, but it's not worth it. 3 - 3. It's scary to imagine how much the internet costs there and how to live there at all. A one-day trip for general cultural enrichment. 4 - 8. I'm not particularly interested in Japan, but it's a beautiful country with a lot of interesting achievements of civilization, historical monuments, and other cool things, so I could stay there for a week or two and visit that lighthouse, why not. 5 - 5. I simultaneously dream of visiting Altai and understand how bad things are there in terms of civilization. Exactly the same, a one-day trip for general cultural enrichment. 6. Unfortunately, it's not real. But I would really like to visit London, maybe even live there for some time, or even move there permanently if I like it (I'm just saying hypothetically, I'm unlikely to decide on that). I love big cities, walking around them, visiting museums and parks. There are many interesting things in London, it is a beautiful ancient city with a rich history, and who knows, maybe one day I will hear that very sound somewhere around the corner. 7 - 5. In general, it's more or less the same as in other similar places, but I dream a little bit about New Zealand, so I'll put it higher. 8 - 4. Nothing new, all the same pros and cons as with other natural locations. The Great Lakes are a cool theme, but not enough to arouse any particular interest in me. 9 - 8. It's all the same as in the fourth point.

or buy Skyrim.

Regarding the artwork. At second glance, everything turned out to be a little better than at first, but it's still a bit sad. I'll be nitpicking.

1 - 1, no way, it's absolutely not my type, even if it were a well-known video game character, just no. I can't even praise the artwork, it feels like it was generated by an AI or with Photoshop filters.
2 - 4, no way. I can stretch it a bit because of the cool hairstyle, the nice drawing style, and the good, bright image, but the problem is still that it's just not my type.
3 - 7, maybe, if there are no other options. The guy is generally okay, he just needs a shave. The color scheme is very pleasant. But I'm very put off by the drawing itself, it's hard to say what's wrong with it. Either it's the overly straight and angular pose of the guy without smooth lines, or the composition, where the eye slides across the drawing and doesn't know what to focus on, what's the main thing and what's secondary. It really spoiled the impression.
4. I gave up on the photo contest because I have too many great drawings of my beloved husband ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
5 - 3. I'll give it a little boost because it's a good drawing and it's just amazing, but as a picture of a man, it just doesn't work.
6 - 8, maybe, if there are no other options. I want to take it and wash it, and the artwork is a bit generic mobile game art, but the guy is okay, especially compared to the other artworks (except for my husband).
7 - 4, no way. The artwork is generic, I don't like the guy, and there's something strange about his face, the proportions are somehow off, either intentionally or accidentally, it's noticeable.
8 - 7, maybe, if there are no other options. The guy is okay, the artwork is pleasant, although I don't like the color scheme and there's something strange about his face, as if it's a mask.
9 - 2, no way. The same as the first point, but I'll give it a little boost for the artwork, because it's good.
10 - 9. Judging by his face, he might not be 18, but if he is, then maybe. I'll deduct a little for the color scheme, it's all red-brown, I want a little fresher colors. But out of all the artworks in the contest, this one is definitely in second place.

I don't know when I'll vote for everything. Maybe on the weekend.
