Art Update - Harvest Ingrainment Checks, Thrallgame Art, Moov Story Art
🕑 Added 2025-12-01 07:31:10 +0000 UTCHello all! Though most of my work for the last while has all been UI, commission-catch-up and similar, I do have some artwork to share- and indeed, mayhaps a new format or two to indulge in!
Harvest Ingrainment Checks
For you old-heads here, you may remember that I once experimented with the idea of making a multiplayer Harvest Game - I lacked some skills at the time to make it a reality and I'm working on other things right now to get back to it, but I always did like having an avenue to allow the regular 'civilians' of the Thrallworksverse a way in to enjoy the festivities, by volunteering to join a kind of 'survival' game where they are dropped into an area with a bunch of hypnotic conditioning and need to hide or otherwise evade capture from 'Gleaners' within the arena for a set amount of days.
The first art in the image list is what you'd call a pre-ingranment interview and a post-ingrainment check-up, where when the person has successfully passed screening they are conditioned for around 6 decs- (about 2 months), though previous/earlier games had fewer bits of conditioning and ran at lower counters.
My idea is to put these ingrainment checks into my regular circulation of sketch material, with the person involved and the things they ask for being determined by a number of tables I roll on (such as if they are a civilian, prisoner, thrall, drone or harvester) to determine the particular things they are being conditioned for. I would actually like to open this up to you patrons so you can send me in OC ideas, but I do gather that the taste for that kind of participation is pretty low.
That being said...
Thrallgame Art
I do still run the Hunger Games over on my discord, and the winners (there are two, the winner-winner and the one who shares their district) get art- so why not have one of the winners get to put their thrall or an OC civilian of their choice through the Ingrainment process? Sounds good to me!
As for the winner-winner, I'm going to open up doing Background Thralls again, and put a slot aside for them- we've got a lot of backgrounds to get around to arting, and I'd like to expand the number of thralls and the like that can appear in the background in general.
Moov Story Art
Also, a good chum of mine is writing a story set in the Movement world over on discord. It'll be on AO3 at some point, and when it does go over there I will be doing some art for it! Not much, just, y'know, chapter headers and the like. The above art is sketches of the main characters and a little bit of our lore-workshopping.
And that's this art update! Next one of these will be before Christmas. Enjoy!
