A Better World is Possible.

Solarpunk City for Andrewism's Solarpunk Collaboration. This is my dream for South Africa. A post-capitalist society that exists at peace with the natural world.

This is a city based in Namaqualand, a region in South Africa renowned for the stunning fields of wildflowers that rise after the first spring rains, transforming the landscape.

The houses are based on the Ndebele houses, which are constructed of clay, wood and thatch, with the walls sealed by animal fats to keep the buildings watertight. These buildings are excellent for the South African climate (go-figure), trapping heat in the walls during the day and releasing it during the very cold nights.

Most of the city's energy comes from wind turbines and solar-panels. The main transport system in the city is the web-like overlay of trams, each interconnected by wide footpaths. These footpaths are also used by emergency vehicles, should the need arise.

Some seasonal crops grown include pearl millet and cassava. The year-round food sources are cattle, poultry, sour fig and groundnut. During dry spells, where other crops fail, there are ample fruits from marula, sourplum and monkey orange.

The large dogs in the painting are Boerbols, which were traditionally used for lion hunting, but now act as guardians, especially to the children. The smell of livestock is bound to attract predators to the settlement, especially during lean times.

The guinea fowl are companion animals to the chooks, acting as sentries.

It may be a bit utopian, but we need utopias to spark our imaginations and to imagine what could be so that we can inform our decisions here and now. We have everything to lose. But we also have everything to gain. It's worth fighting for an egalitarian and just future.

For inspiration, see notes. I will attach some YT videos that helped keep me optimistic.

Who's springbok? I'm so curious, also I really wanna know more background on your main 5 guys ( haha five guys )

I’ve drawn him exactly once and apparently never posted that here???? my bad! he was Fennec’s childhood friend; he helped her word a lot of her enchantments because he had far better foresight than her lol

I wanna explore the five guys (lol) backstories more in-comic than anywhere else but for a brief rundown on why they’re Like That;

Haunted - CULT!!!

Fennec - abandoned egg that grew up on the streets. also Unfathomable Power

Mako - teen orphan turned revolutionary turned fugitive

Wolf - black sheep of the family (child of an affair)

Red Kite - normal 👍👍👍👍

Here are some of the few pieces I've done this month. The animal in the first drawing is of a Springbok which are native to South Africa. The next two are some unfinished paintings I'm deciding to leave undone as I want to move on to other drawings. I haven't been able to draw/paint traditionally much due to life but I still have the energy to do some digital paintings and have been trying to find the balance between making full pieces and learning fundamentals. Also don't be shy to recommend some more animals to draw! I'm always interested in drawings new ones I may not yet know of or haven't drawn before!
