If you know (or are!) someone who can work in the sort of painterly, exaggerated but realistic-ish style frequently used by pulp adventure books and magazines in the 50s and 60s we'd love to talk!
We've still got most of the funds from the first commission attempt available, and can flex a bit to get this made.
For a bit of an idea what we're looking for, I've attached a sketch from when we were talking things out with our first artist.
The other @FullyAutomatedRPG devs are working on a new set of chase mechanics. We've been jokingly calling the create-an-obstacle-behind-yourself move "Summon Fruit Stand" and every time we say it I picture a walking robot fruit stand plodding slowly into the way, blocking the route. I don't need much excuse to make solarpunk art so I photobashed this scene.
Just another bit of art from an ongoing #solarpunk project: a cargo airship docked at a mooring mast made from a recycled wind turbine tower.
I was looking for a modernized mooring mast design for a sort of prefab kit that might be used by frontier communities and one of the @FullyAutomatedRPG devs suggested these reused segments because the turbines already get replaced regularly, and the structures meet many of the same goals with sideload and weather and even support elevators!

This image, like all my postcards from a solarpunk future (https://jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/postcards-from-a-solarpunk-future/) is CC-BY use it how you like.
Photobashed a couple more bits of #art for the #solarpunk TTRPG campaign between text edits.
I think I'll need to make a 3d model to really get the airship mooring mast right. I do a lot of trial and error while figuring out what elements I want to include and how I want to lay out the perspective, and there's not a ton of references for 60m lattice towers strong enough to tether an airship, let alone ones with a staircase and elevator built in.
This second ruin featured in the location #art for the #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign is much more intact. This old town building (combination town offices and police department) was still somewhat in-use until a few decades ago when the town finally got too small to need it. It's still halfheartedly maintained by the town selectmen and locals but with deconstruction crews working their way through town, it probably won't be around for long.

Some more location #art for the #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign, this time focused on some of the ruins found in this mostly-abandoned town.
The campaign is a deliberate inversion of a lot of 'lost city' or 'lost world' pulp adventure tropes, from the buried treasure of industrial waste to its location in the rewilded forests of rural New England. What clues and artifacts from a (deliberately?) lost civilization lurk in these ruins?

Some more transportation-based location art for the Fully Automated campaign Buried Treasure:
The starting location of Fairer Way currently has a single streetcar running along its loop road. Gus 'The Bus' is sapient and much loved by his community. His design is based on ones from the late 1800s, early 1900s with the idea that that would be an easier starting point for a rebuilding society. Much of the deck has been lowered to improve accessibility.
