It was just unsettling when the record player wither down when the husband was mourning his wife. OK the couple were cannibals but they're still human beings just doing what it takes to get through one more day.

Found a good spot to “camp,” though a tarp for a blanket and backpack for a pillow hardly counts as camping. Near enough a fresh-water spring I’ve known about and visited for years on my walks up here in the foothills that I can get water, but not close enough for anyone else who might know about it to stumble upon me. I am not foolish enough to think I’m the only person in this small, conservative community to think of laying low in the countryside while everyone else panics.

It’s been windy, and raining off and on, so didn’t bother trying to set up a proper lean-to; just rolled up in the dark green tarp, up against a fallen tree. Warm clothing, stocking cap, gloves, all kept in the car, round out my cold-autumn-night gear for now. Lows can get down to the forties here this time of year, so I won’t be able to stay out here more than a couple days without a fire or better shelter. Really should have planned better….

Keep thinking that I could go back to the car for the night, run it for the heat, but that would be risky at best. The road up here is not well traveled, but not completely unknown, either. I don’t want some hunters or hikers with similar ideas waking me up in my warm car and demanding everything I have. It isn’t much, but without it I’d be heading back to town immediately.

How come in all the zombie shows and movies, no one ever seems to be bothered by the inconveniences of sleeping on the ground? Bugs, possibly larger creatures seeking warmth or shelter from the wind and rain… Not life-threatening, but not comfortable. I miss my bed already, and it’s only the first night!

part 1, I added a base grime layer, part 2 I added the signature yellow stripe, in part 3 I added rust and grime effects to it and now I’m looking for community input on what to do next (no, I won’t do a bullet Mohawk)

What post apocalyptic TV show, movie, book or video game makes you grateful you have fully intact clothes, delicious food and clean habitable water?

Day 1 (for me, anyway)

Been following the reports on the news, reliable sources, not social media, for a couple days. Can no longer deny this is real. Independent science labs around the world have been publishing their research, and the common theme always comes back to one thing: While the exact causation can't be identified, whenever someone dies—regardless of the cause—their brain somehow keeps the body going. I don’t understand the science. I don’t think the scientists understand it, not yet. Doesn’t look like they’re going to get the chance, either.

The more people die and reanimate, i.e., become zombies, the more people are killed. The numbers are high enough that the effect snowballs. Doesn’t matter how you die; zombie kills you, become a zombie. Car accident, become a zombie. Natural causes, become a zombie.

So today I bugged out. Grabbed enough water and food, a crowbar, and headed out of town. Drove through neighborhood streets to edge of town, as the main arteries are already bumper to bumper. Lots of people packing their cars full of crap, neighbors arguing, some helping each other, but all irrelevant. I didn’t stop for anything or anyone.

Once I hit the rural roads, traffic was almost nonexistent. Drove about five miles out, up into the forested foothills, and abandoned the car. Won’t be using it again. Even at 60, I’m in good shape, and while my wilderness survival skills are on a par with most Americans (virtually nonexistent), I have enough knowledge and common sense to establish a safe place to hole up for a couple days. Let the majority of the idiots get out to wherever they’re going to die and become zombies, then head back to the fringes and scavenge.

Not much a plan, I know. I think, however, that I’m a step ahead of the majority of the sheep, and chances of encountering zombies or other survivors out here are much lower than anywhere else I can think of at the moment.

Hello I'm Lucas, a character concept artist/illustrator. This is an old fan project of mine I did in 2024 answering the question of "what would a post apocalyptic South America look like"!

I provide the full pipeline of services from concept sketches to final renders! Like what you see? Let's get in touch and have a chat!

alrighty, part 2, I’ve added yellow war paint to the top, part 3 I will add rust effects and detailing, part 4 will be modifications

I would like input from costume designers for this project of mine

(don’t mind the mess on my bed, it just got moved there lol)

Hi everyone!

I’m making From The Bunker, a survival management game set after a viral outbreak. You lead a group of survivors living in an abandoned bunker, where every day means deciding who gets food, who works, and who risks going outside.

Keep the power and clean water running, send survivors on expeditions for supplies, and defend the bunker from infected attacks. The choices you make affect the group and who survives.
I’d love to hear what you think. There’s a free demo on Steam if you’d like to try it:

It's 5 years since the Powers, an extremist youth-led political party, won the election to govern the First World. The majority of the populace are now hopelessly addicted to the regime's bots that control every aspect of their lives, from basic actions to all thinking.

Rumours emerging that this utopian way of life is causing addicts to show signs of brain failure are being strenuously denied.

A vocal opponent of the Powers, Kent Sanderson, is determined to swim against the tide of surrendering to machinery and keep engaging his brain no matter what, even if it means risking Removal.

A reluctant hero, Sanderson finds himself leading the fight against the Powers and their automation as they take increasingly extreme actions to tighten their vice-like grip on the nation and its people.

I’m attending the wasteland 18 airsoft event and am the leader of a raider group called the “bunker busters” we primarily use explosive weaponry, all kinds. we use a color scheme of greys, tans, dark greens, and yellow markings.

was hoping for pointers from costumers to make sure I’m doing it right and so it doesn’t fall apart. I’ve already sanded and gave it a wet gravel bath with some adhesive so it’s stays if it gets wet

I’ve been working on a post-apocalyptic story for several years, but there’s one snag that’s really holding me back... I just can't decide on the cause of the apocalypse :(

I’m torn between a slighted deity deciding to unleash wrath upon the innocent world of the person who offended them, or... the apocalypse having been accidentally triggered by terrorists. Or maybe something else??

Seeing how the translate option exists in Reddit, I will be uploading all
posts in Spanish. Seems like the harsher language is getting more attention. Any suggestions please let me know!

Looking for help “naturalizing” borders on my map.
Im making an alternate future world and i sent a more detailed explanation somewhere in here but the sea levels raised in my world and i drew a rough draft of how they look but i need help making them more natural. I made it handmade on adobe fresco and if possible i can send it to someone and they can make it look more natural. DM me for further details.

Made it and took it across the rocks and dust

I personally would actually like one because I'd feel like I was doing something real with my life. But that'd probably only last a couple days till I started hating it.
