I took advantage of this mini comic to experiment with new coloring styles and watercolor brush 🎨 The freight car is sort of a tribute to the first stop where Cooper and Lucy rest in the beautiful @bitumz longfic. ❤️
something about lucy giving cooper the chems he needs to keep from going feral to show him that she'll never let the wasteland turn her into someone like him and cooper immediately afterward finding a copy of the anti-communist propaganda movie he was talked into doing despite his apprehensions. cooper looking into the past at the exact moment that started the gradual wearing away of his principles and put him on the path to becoming the man he is while lucy walks off defiantly, no i will not allow this place to change me, i may have to become harder, i may have to become violent, but i will hold true to the values that have shaped me.
Rewatching the show and Ghoulcy's first meeting is genuinely so funny because my good sis was basically just yapping and Cooper just let her 😭 She's so lucky she had those big bambi eyes to distract him with because otherwise he would've shot her pretty little ass on sight lol.
