I’m fine with corrections, but I’d prefer to keep political or ideological discussions out of my comment section. I’m just a foreign fan sharing fanart and creative work, and I’d like to keep the space focused on that.
The situation that led to this is a bit complicated, so I won’t go into the details.
But I chose to write the contract in Ukrainian because Ukrainian is the primary language of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. I could have simply used English, which would have been much easier, but I still spent time looking through references and making this version instead.
I’m simply respecting the game’s setting and lore. That does not mean I am required to support Ukraine or not.
I corrected the names of the two factions only because I wanted the text on the artwork to be internally consistent. As a creator, you know.
Likewise, it does not mean I am required to support Russia or not.
For that reason, I decided to keep both versions. To me, they are simply languages and written words. I do not see them as something that must be rejected or supported, nor do I see them as part of an ideological conflict.
I believe I have made my position clear. If you do not like the way I approach my work, please block me. I genuinely do not mind.
Background story⬇️
This is Myklukha’s desk.
Personally, I believe that Noontide and Freedom maintained a trade relationship.
Freedom can trade with the mainland, but Noontide cannot. trading with Freedom became one of Noontide’s most important ways of obtaining supplies.
After Operation Zenith, Noontide continued to hold Wild Island. Strider personally traveled to Rostok to discuss supply agreements with Myklukha.
However, Myklukha is a businessman, so the trade agreements tend to be… very carefully negotiated😐
Every year, both sides would sign a renewal contract. Until it was ultimately terminated in 2021 due to force majeure.
But mainly, I just wanted to see Strider meeting Myklukha's orange cat.
An idea from Rina @marylanesworld ThankU! She once shared a moment she had seen: a blind person being guided by a staff member while holding onto their shoulder. It just fits them perfectly, so…
And personally, I think Skif and Faust must have met at the Shelter at some point without a fence between them
