Have you played the latest update for frostpunk 2 with the fractured utopia factions and the doomsayers? Has that given you any inspiration for new ocs? I really want to know how Matrha Steward is handling things...

Yeah, I've played Fractured Utopias a lot, I never actually enacted any of the utopias because NONE of these little freaks are good in excess. The Overseers and Bohemians are my favorite when I want a nice city where everyone one day gets along and Icebloods and Technocrats when I want cartoon shenanigans.

Martha would probably finally get her dream of executing the people that annoy her tbh, I don't think the council would oppose her on that. Oh my god i hate the doomsayers. Go kill your OWN selves and leave my city alone. I always try to solve problems peacefully and humanely in this game, it's part of the challenge, but with them I just start repressing and pummeling with guards, because keeping their numbers low via good city situation is just not tenable with any other challenge. I had so much more patience and understanding for the Londoners in FP1, doomsayers have NO GOOD REASON! I GAVE YOU DISCOUNTS ON GRUEL!!!

#thank you for the question!

Seto after work. God damn drawing sheks is difficult

#kenshi game #princess seto #this was supposed to be like 30 min. it was not.

I'm not INVESTED invested in the faction wars event, but I can't stop thinking about Icebloods wiping the fuck out at the very start while Technocrats smoothly moved to round 2. Clout extinction event

Everyone please clap. Today i purposely chose to draw on paper instead of scrolling

#i am... so sick of the pain rectangle.

Frostpunk 2 is a city-building survival video game,

#these groups can't exist without the other because if they didn't have polar opposites to antagonize they'd be embarrassed to act like that.#frostpunk #Icebloods and Technocrats are THE! sandbox pair and this pic actually goes back to like the closed beta lol #frostpunk 2 #my worsties <3 need them all dead.

I've been making a cover a year for @shousetsubangbang for 5 years now, and tbh, they are some of my favorite pieces I've ever done. I look forward to it every year.

The old Shousetsu Bang*Bang place? Sure, I heard of it. Folks ’round here tell all sorts of tales about it. Don’t mean nobody’s been there in a while, though.

It was back in … what, aught-five? I think it was, yeah, that there first were people up in that place. Dozens of people at first, maybe hundreds, even, on some occasions. Folk bringing their smut, their fanciful tales, their pretty pictures, all those stories ’bout boys kissing other boys, things like that. You’d hear them all night, on into the night up there, sometimes often as once a month!

Weren’t no big calamity or change that ended it, nothing so dramatic. Things just started to … dry up. Folk wanderin’ off. Platforms changing, then shutting down. All that goddamn big-city social media consolidation. And the censorship! One site or another shut them down, or told them they couldn’t do it the way they wanted to. Pretended like the internet is too good for dicks touchin’! You ever heard such a thing in all your life? But it’s true, it’s true, or at least that’s what the old-timers say.

Folks stopped talking about the old Shousetsu Bang*Bang place. Then they stopped reading. Then they stopped coming altogether. Then the whole place went dark.

But they say some nights you can still hear it, the sounds of a new issue up there. Some even say that on the last Monday of every month — why, that’s tonight! — that you can see a new round of lights in the windows and all kinds of figures dancing all around. All the queer revelry and pornographic merriment, folk say it looks as alive as it ever was. Like maybe it’s even been alive the whole time.

‘Course, no one goes there anymore. You kids wouldn’t be foolish enough to try and see it for yourselves. …Would you?

Here's my cover for this year! :) sketches (and alternate proposition) under the cut, if someone's curious:

Hi, me again - If you don't mind me being curious, is the reason your Steward is a Venturer just because you want to keep up the idea she's awful at her job and the Venturers are awful people, or because it's a reflection of her trying and failing to be partisan in her city between the Evolvers and Faithkeepers? I find the idea of a steward being a part of a third faction entirely absent from their city fascinating, if more than a bit chaotic from your descriptions.

I was thinking of a setup that would be the worst for her, tbh, and also it just fits her personality. I set out to create a loser woman who sucks and moved the pieces around until I was happy lol. And the Venturers are just so easy to clown on, and I like their visual style

Basically every other faction setup would find SOMEthing to like about her. Ok, Icebloods appreciate that one time she just launched herself at a delegate, claws-out, that was lowkey Merit of her :/ The Bohemians like her Reason policies, the Overseers would admit that her Progress-related compromises and Merit tendencies are fine. The Stalwarts would LOVE!!! her, like Captain 2.0 levels (until she settles Winterhome...). But Evolvers only care as far as she's useful and Faithkeepers just can't stand her, both because of her policies and because she's just bad to be around and horrible at PR.

And the fun part is, she's quite competent. She's just a PR and HR nightmare and she did kill an old guy for the job (allegedly!!!) so not enough people care 😭

In conclusion: feels right and makes me laugh

#i love her very much. having a cringefail woman who is mean and sucks rotating in my head is so freeong #her dream project is putting birth cobtrol in the city's drinking water so people stop having babies bit the council won't let her :////#thank you for asking! <3

Never knew I needed to make a Steward OC till I saw your art... gonna mull that over for a while now, thank you.

Yes... Hahaha.... Yes!!!!!!!

#have fun ♥️ theres so much potential to make just. an absolute stinker. a real pear wiggler destinee.
