Solarpunk Furs

Especially re. upcoming SolarPunk horror-story contest (starts next year):

https://solarpunkmagazine.com/submissions/

It's often said: SolarPunk is a fantastic aesthetic, even a standard to live up to, but utopia makes for difficult fiction. No conflict, no engine to drive a plot.

Some 1AM ideas in this vein, and potential fuel for next year's contest:

• Children, always getting into things they shouldn't, places they shouldn't, the curious things. A parent's worst nightmare.
• Scars of the Past, things and traumas left behind by what came before the utopia (eg as happy-lovely as Vader-San's Synth/lizard world is, the lore leading up to it, oof)
• Interpersonal drama?
• The Human Condition? (eg as OP as Superman is in terms of powers, most of his best stories explore his behaviour and his humanity)

Laelia in an imagined #SolarPunk future.

The Eufuria Convention in Albany, NY, USA had Solarpunk as topic this year. I am wondering how it was and if there will be more furry art with Solarpunk this year now.

Signal Group for everything Solarpunk and furries. Can Be Sci-Fi or your Gardening Projects!

How about just some Photos of sheep under Solar Panels.

Or Maybe your Fursona riding a bike.

The simple Things are sometimes the most impactful ones.

The Logo is based on the first solar punk Logo. The main modification is done by: https://blorbo.social/@cyl the Signal Logo edit is by me.

We got all the flavours, from classics like strawberry and chocolate to synth favourites like benzene or Blåhaj Blast™.

Solarpunk commission for @NafiTheBear@bears.town ft. his synth-Orca Orvar and lil' ol' me~ (Thanks so much for the opportunity, I had a blast making this one!)

Solarpunk themed commission I got from NebulaRobo of my orca-synth orvar.io, who is marine biologist in a solarpunk future.

a print, which I bought on the Leipzig book fair from @solacie.art@threads.net ( https://solacie.carrd.co/ ) even unintentional it is very solarpunk and cozy. (I told her this looks solarpunk and explained what it means and she was excited and said. Yes, this could be solarpunk)

Close enough to Solarpunk for me ~

Even the Synth Lore could be Solarpunk. The one of this here is Solarpunk. My OC Orvar.io, which might show up more or less often in those posts of mine.

Sharing this here, because tumblr and reddit have login-walls and I don't want this gem to get lost.

(Personal disclaimer this is NOT part of the project where I commission artists to draw furry Solarpunk)

Art made by Meg James for my Solarpunk prompt.

My Digimon and its Tamer, Tim, are running and cycling through an Agrivoltaic field.

Agrivoltaic generate electricity and the crops below can grow. The shade thrown by the Solar panels are actually helping growth as the plants don't need as much water. It can also be combined with sheep and cow farms which are just grazing between the panels.

I commissioned Withelias do draw a picture with my Orca-Synth Orvar in it.

Orvar lives in a general future sci-fi setting and is part of a team who examines exo-planets if they can be terraformed while actually going there and testing for life on the target planet. Since he is a synth he can be completely disinfected to not introduce any microbes from earth on the target planet.

Here he is living a normal life and greeting a cheetah friend (character by withelias).

I recently saw more and more Generative AI - Images with Solarpunk, which is for multiple reasons a bad signal for Solarpunk, but the Main Argument was, that "There is not enough Art by real Artists"

So, we are the furry community. We are known for our Artists and our Artist friendly behaviour so I want to change that.

I gonna start to personally commission Images by Furry Artists which have Solarpunk or Hopepunk topics. Starting with the Logo for this Community, which is a Modified version from @cyl@blorbo.social of the original Logo

I encourage everyone with some money to do the same and every artist with some free time to participate please!
