Did I get solerpunk right this time?

The art style I’m going for is heavily influenced by Lilo and Stitch. Easily my favorite (mostly) hand drawn cartoon/movie for its style.

    This is more a utopian scenery than Solarpunk. It’s pure optimism and depicting a seemingly perfect world. But Solarpunk isn’t just a dream of a perfect society with some solar panels.

    It’s a positive picture that evokes happiness, for sure. But this image doesn’t show the “Punk” part of Solarpunk, the spirit of rebellion and counterculture, grassroots activism, DIY ethics. It misses realism that transports the current state of the world with all its problems and difficulties into a setting of an eco-centric future with a sustainable civilization.

      I’m not sure how to draw the second paragraph then, as someone who just became a grandfather I thought this was pretty close.

        Ok, I’m not sure myself how I would create a good Solarpunk scenery. I’ll see if I can try later and then post something.

        Maybe we need a Solarpunk Challenge here in the community?
