Tower card in progress.

#tarot #illustration #art #myart #tower #fall

A beige tower with black siding emerges from a growth of orange-red trees. The orange-hued plants of the forest grow up along the tower's structure. Against the blue sky, a red lightning bolt strikes the top of the tower, breaking its crown into pieces.

A vibrant, artistic depiction of an elephant serenely resting on an crescent moon-like arch. The elephant features bold shades of blue & purple, with intricate detailing in its ears & trunk. Surrounding the elephant is a crescent moon & decorative swirling vines add an ethereal quality. The background incorporates soft clouds & a hint of a circular shape that resembles a sun creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Another OC animation practice, this time it's a walk cycle. A little wonky but not too bad

The shorter one is Percy, and the taller one is their significant other, Shiro, who just happens to be a space alien and a very attentive listener

A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other things 1/2 ☀️

Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉

Podcast over here if you're interested: https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts

#solarPunk #hopePunk #art #myArt #comics #sustainability

Page 1 of comic. The uppermost caption states: "I like realistic Solarpunk. I think it's the best kind, actually!" Under it is a horizontal space filled with doodles: someone exiting a tool library, a girl holding a mended sock, a chama group is pooling donations, a woman browses Wikipedia, a volunteer is filling a bowl with free soup.
"By realistic I mean grounded. Something that we could imagine happening in our real world. No magic (a drawing of a girl with fire powers), no supernatural elements unless you know what you're doing (a talking cat), no cure-all tech (a man is claiming a tiny piece of tech is going to solve everything).
The artist appears. "I feel that way because of my answer to this question: what is Solarpunk for?"

Page 2. "Well, let's see...Solarpunk isn't just an aesthetic, it's an emerging genre and artistic movement." The statement is accompanied by mandala-like drawing of several hands drawing the Solarpunk symbol.
Then there's a dualistic drawing: Cyberpunk and Solarpunk next to each other. In the Cyberpunk drawing, a man is holding a gun, and in the other he is unloading soil from a big bag into a garden bed. Three tiny people are floating next to the Solarpunk man, imagining what tasty stuff can grow from that soil.
The caption reads: "Solarpunk is also sort of CyberPunk's counterpart. While Cyberpunk concerns itself with wrecking bad old systems, Solarpunk is about building new, better ones. SolarPunk's creation was very intentional - it's for letting us imagine a tomorrow that's not a fucking shitshow."
In the corner, the artist points at a box labeled "future" and asks "If it's alive, what do you reckon it looks like?"

Page 3. "And that tomorrow part is important! When it comes to technology, we can stop climate change and achieve a sustainable world right now." A whole section next to this text is filled with various sustainable technologies: perma- and polyculture, wind turbines, vernacular architecture, reforestation, libraries of everything, trains, trams, bikes, solar panels, habitat restoration, degrowth etc.
"We don't need to wait until a fancy piece of tech comes along and fixes everything." There's a rendition of that meme where people are huddling together to discuss something. A contraption called "carbon sucker 9000 appears". The group gives it a thumbs up and continues discussing their own stuff like minimizing plane travel.

"What we need is large cultural and societal change. But most people struggle to imagine anything but dystopia."
In a frame nearby, a rich guy gleefully puts his foot on a pair of scales, favoring a bag of money over the planet. However, just out of frame is a group of people with tools, ready to take the planet back.

"Solarpunk is for filling that blank space! And a grounded, though not unambitious, approach makes it feel more achievable to the average person."

Page 4. "If we can imagine absolute Cyberpunk dystopia with ease but not the opposite, it's because we don't have enough popular stories yet which would showcase that believable alternative." A lady is reading a Solarpunk book. She exclaims: "So you're telling me people can just do stuff without a monetary incentive or the risk of hunger and homelessness? Movie number 3752 about robots enslaving humanity was much more realistic!"
"The hard part for Solarpunks is imagining what the culture and structure of this new society would look like. How would it operate?" Drawing: the author sits gloomily at a desk, mumbling "I wish I could try out this hobby but the tools are so expensive, and I don't even know if it'll be a long-term interest or not...". But then they have an epiphany. "Wait, I could literally just go to the library!"
"How does this new world think? And what do we change about ourselves to get closer to it?" The final doodle is of a man stating we must ensure economic growth until the end of time, though the woman next to him retorts: "You and what endless planetary resources?" She then suggests that we instead produce what's necessary and give it to those who need it.

A few anxious thoughts that have finally been put to digital paper (many more stay bumping around in my brain)

#myArt #climateChange #noAI #warInUkraine #comics

A comic, page 1. My friend has a young child, reads the panel. A little boy runs across the grass, playing with a dandelion puffball. Will he grow up thinking AI images, writing, music are good? That they reflect reality? The boy, a little grown up, watches generic oversaturated AI cartoons on the TV. The dead-eyed AI child melts off the screen. Will he feel nostalgic for them? Generate instead of learning to create? A button being clicked, neglected art supplies pushed to the side.

Page 2. Will he grow up believing there's only one way to be a man? A neat lineup of muscles, cars, women, angry outbursts, money, wealth in tiny boxes. Then three heads with demon horns portraying tearful sadness, joy, fear, all connected by an LGBT flag.
Will he grow up to think heat deaths are okay? That snow is as distant as penguins? The boy is lying comfortably in a fetal position in the middle of a massive serpent's coil. The snake has money for scales, and inside it are natural disasters: drought and forest fires, algal blooms with dead fish and trees flowering in the middle of autumn, snowless winters and buses swimming through flooded streets.

Page 3, final. Will he grow up thinking that the way the world is right now is completely fine? The boy looks across a fiery landscape, seeing only shades of pink. Will his imagination be limited to the status quo? I hope not.
The last panel is dark and hard to make out. A small house is tucked away in the corner of the image with a moon and stars above it. A russian missile taking up most of the panel points directly at it. The last text is broken in half by the missile: "if he even grows up at all".
