Commission for AlphaSeries04 on twitter of their Tenuane, who was a marvel to draw. Thank you for letting me draw her for you!

apostates exist because of the chantry. without the chantry, the very concept of apostacy would be nothing. and the word, the concept, applies to those who renounce not the beliefs of the chantry, but a single, specific practice. linguistically speaking, that is enough for a mage to be declared separate from the chantry entirely. either you submit to the circles or you are apostate. separate. you have turned your back on the chantry and you are no longer truly andrastian, no matter what you believe, no matter how much you believe. because you didn't obey. i just have a lot of feelings about apostate mages who hold onto andrastianism despite andrastianism rejecting them. they are unwelcome, heretic, and still trying to make themselves part.

Seattle Cyberpunk: Emphasizes class analysis through technology disparity, physical transhumanism, and the disposability of humans. In Seattle Cyberpunk - Capitalism wants you gone.

Seattle Cyberpunk showcases a nightlife of homelessness and decay with corporate monoliths on the horizon. The streetlights no longer work, but the darkness is kept partially at bay by the neon tubes of bars where people watch wishes of their youth vanish at the bottom of the bottle. The lucky ones working for the corporations do so with the fear they will be kicked to the street. The robot is an expression of force intended to keep the common person afraid. Corporations do not try to justify their rulership, social problems and contradiction are solved with force.

In this fascinating modern take, however, the artist instead shows Man as a driving force, frantically throwing aside all barriers and restrictions in pursuit of his goal: a goal which remains impossible to reach. Fast food, representing compromise for survival in the face of an uncaring and overstressing world, hangs awkwardly in the center of an uncrossable abyss. Note the use of highly-rendered tensed musculature to imply physical effort, emphasized by the contrast with loose, hanging fabric, and also the lack of effort on the part of the employee: She is trying, and were she reach out just a little further, then through their collaboration would Man attain his goal. But, the strictures of her position allow only a certain amount of human generosity and kindness. The structures we build as humanity prevent us from doing all that we can to help one another, and this remains true even when presented with a fellow human willing risk death, to survive.
