Anyone else doing Artfight this year?

NATO and EU

I think Nato has a comically intimidating voice and he's not that ecocentrical I just gave him the shirt for the funny

EU is Eu idk she's a capitalist who follows the stock market like its her lifeline (It is)

Bro is NOT slick

I realized that Finland and Czechia look way too similiar rn

I like both of them... maybe i'll tweak Finland a little cuz Czechia looks exactly how I want him to be

Their body types are actually pretty different and their faces too if they were actual people theyd be fine

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

Wtf was the Khmer Rogue even about

Idk if I should make modern Cambodia the same as pre-evil Cambodia or modern Cambodia to be a child at that time BECAUSE logically it would make sense for Cambodia to change personifications since its a completely different ideology and stuff....

Then rises the question: Would Cambodia have been used as an example?

Fuck I think Cambodia wouldn't have eyes

Ignorance is strength ahh country 🏜️
