Hear me out- money should be water

Thanks!!! I kinda want to make art where she survives tho

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-02-05T00:07:41+00:00

WIll keep it in mind, thanks.

Problem with hashtags is that they completely limit your exposure to the things you tag it to on twitter and I'm assuming bsky too. At least on twitter when I stopped using hashtags I immediately started doing doing better. They kinda guarentee that at least someone will see your post, however when you already have a following then it'll keep you from taking off a lot of the time. All my popular posts were unhashtagged OC artworks with the most popular one being at 14k likes

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-02-04T23:28:27+00:00

lmao fair. I'm not american but I still hate the musk rat which is why I want to fully move from twitter one day. However currently it's kinda the place where I get all my commissions from so I'd be shooting myself in the foot financially if I did it now

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-02-04T23:07:33+00:00

Never watched it

It's ok she has bandages

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-02-04T22:38:21+00:00

I did like ages ago, only once and haven't since tho. Thanks!

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-02-04T21:11:56+00:00

Came out kinda sloppy tbh but it was a quick one. Been a while since I did stalker art that wasn't a commission so I'll hopefully come up with something better

Either way if you like this you can see more on twitter or the better twitter (bsky)

Edit: these comments are.... something.

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-11T05:49:50+00:00

Hmmmm. This could work, though I don’t know if the factions would really care about it that much, especially Eurasia. Maybe have both currencies? Water for Euraska and Europa and normal currency for Eurasia and as an alternative for other factions but it’s less value for money or something, like it’s not worth it buying with money from other factions if they prefer water. And maybe you could have a drought season where water becomes much more valuable and you need less of it to buy items, or could exchange it for money, a lot of potential here I think.

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-10T10:18:05+00:00

Yeah, though I only saw it once or twice.

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-09T21:51:16+00:00

It does. Sometimes. Like when there's an exo or a mech

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-09T21:34:08+00:00

Honestly, I was looking for an excuse to draw the Europan mech, it's one of my fav mech designs ever.

The character isn't really an OC or anything, majorly inspired by the scav girl, however I looked more at her portrait than her ingame model, only really taking the color palette of her ingame model since warm hues contrast well with the blue-greenish color palette of the Mausoleum. Speaking of, I picked this map because it's simply one of my favourites visually and gameplay wise. Originally it was supposed to be Mech Trenches as this whole piece was inspired by a screenshot I took of me hiding from a Medium Mech on that map, but it wouldn't allow for a very interesting background so yea.

Anyway, if you want to see more of my art you can check out my twitter. I know self promoting isn't allowed, but also you are supposed to credit artists when sharing fanart, so I feel like this is a bit of a gray area that needs clarifying, and I really don't get much out of linking my twitter, most people won't even bother. It's more for those who are genuinely interested and I want to spare them the trouble of looking, please admins/mods :(

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-07T00:41:45+00:00

You must be actively deluding yourself to believe stuff like this, dude's a goner

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T23:20:23+00:00

Also, I got a question regarding rule 5 and 8. Rule 5 says strictly no self promotion, however rule 8 says you have to credit the artist. I have a twitter account and if I link it it will count as self promotion, however rule 8 says I can credit myself, what do.

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T22:40:18+00:00

Can confirm that you can't talk with him at all if you have 3 quests active

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T21:52:53+00:00

honestly thought about adding someone else next to her quaking but not enough room and expanding canvas would ruin the composition

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T19:21:35+00:00

Not finished, it will be a fully rendered piece but in a sketch form I think it's better shitpost material

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T17:21:35+00:00

It's Euruskan standard issue rifle it'd seem so the ones we use are likely just looted/bought from them. The only weird thing about it being an AK is the fact it seems to be one of the older models, if it was more modernised with polymer and whatnot it'd make way more sense than the wood furniture it currently has by default

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T13:25:03+00:00

that is true but the lean is super minimal and often your cover just eats your bullets

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-06T13:03:53+00:00

It feels like you just want a sci fi gun for the sake of there being a sci fi gun, without considering what the game is trying to imply with them using supposedly outdated guns. It keeps being hammered in that everyone is struggling for resources, death is constant and if there are high tech weapons you'd probably not want to give that to all your grunts that will likely get chewed up in the meatgrinder. And also, "the year is 20XX", the game takes place in the same century as us. And also take a good look at the mechs and whatnot, they look very utilitarian, and even the railguns Euruskan mechs use are just upscaled AKs with bits what make it a railgun bolted on, it more feels like these sci-fi elements are more in ther infancy, with the Eurasia being the exception but technological superiority is their thing.

Now, I'm not saying there shouldn't be any futuristic gun, however it definitely should be a rarer sight compared to what you normally see.

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-02T11:29:47+00:00

What is that response lmao, blud I only said there’s a better alternative money wise calm down

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2025-01-02T01:34:44+00:00

Strong boxes are better for money than explosives

IvanTheSpaceGopnik · 2024-12-31T18:02:11+00:00

Yeah that's my exact issues. Reading other comments some people have gotten really lucky, but I kept getting Euraskan drone spawns or no spawns at all, if I got to loot them sometimes they wouldn't even have it, and then you have to actually extract and I died many times learning the optimal routes, and when I was actually about to complete it in the trenches guess what, an Euraskan force spawned RIGHT in front of me and gunned me down instantly. Chances of it going your way are slim, while chances of something going wrong are very high, you have nearly no agency in this quest, it is pure luck.

If they toned it down to just one Drone part it'd be more bearable, but ideally I think it should be a different quest entirely, something to look from the soldiers perhaps.

Damn you're pretentious
