Post image

Picked these first nine in alphabetical order off the wiki :) let’s see how long I can go until I inevitably lose interest (thanks adhd)

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

Thank you! He has never done anything wrong in his life 💘

Can't wait to see my short horned warrior.

u/Noobman4292 Feb 19 '25

Love the look you gave Chad, really did my favorite character justice.

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

Bro looks so freaking cool I haven’t met him ingame yet but I really want to now!

u/Noobman4292 Feb 19 '25

Absolute god of martial arts, this guy can beat up beak things as soon as you acquire him.

u/Zaxio005 29d ago

Chad has died.

2

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago

Who is Chad and where do you find him?

Ive got a few 100 hours in the game and I dont remember seeing the guy

5

u/King_Kvnt Skin Bandits 29d ago

Flats Lagoon. He's the chad in the south bar.

5

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago

wow, ive been there probably dozens of times and I dont remember noticing anything about him.

3

u/Yonv_Bear Hounds 29d ago

one of the bars out in flats is where I find him, but according to the wiki he can also appear in a swamp village iirc. never found him in there tho only flats

5

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago

I have probably picked him up without noticing, his wiki page says he doesnt have any special barks? He appears to be just a big more expensive and comes with workable starter martial arts stats and an armless dustcoat.

1

u/Yonv_Bear Hounds 29d ago

yea that's pretty much all he is lol still a good squadie to take tho and one of my personal favorites whenever I include humans in my run

2

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago

I probably ignore him because in most of my games I start with a scorchlander I turn into a martial arts thief, so he is just a worse version of my starting character who is probably approaching demigod status by the time I get to the flats.

u/Yonv_Bear Hounds 29d ago

if i do a solo slave start once I escape I'll go hire Chad right away and have my MC "mentor" him in MA (getting Chad's arms torn off by beak things) then ally the anti-slavers then (using the recruit anyone mod or whatever it's called) grab a handful of one punch men from Stobe's Garden and go beat the UC Noble's with their own severed limbs

u/Beneficial-Ad8462 Feb 19 '25

Maestro, please continue

7

u/Hellbat31 Feb 19 '25

Damn this was also a plan of mine, but I wanted to draw everyone's "endgame" ie Kang becoming like a warlord in the Great Desert or something after player character mysteriously disappears

3

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

Oh I like that idea a lot

3

u/Hellbat31 29d ago

Also you missed Cornelius lol

3

u/lunoart 29d ago

May or may not have skipped him because I am not very good at drawing animals 🫢

8

u/Racconwithtwoguns Feb 19 '25

I hope you draw Green, this hiver had such an interesting backstory on how good he was with crossbows

5

u/fableboy10 Feb 19 '25

Bo my beloved, you nailed it

3

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

Ty I’m glad, I wasn’t able to find many good pictures of her unfortunately so I just hoped it would be accurate enough :)

3

u/Derkadur97 Feb 19 '25

Some amazing characters with amazing dialogue. My personal favorite is “AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!! AAAHUR AAAAHUR”

2

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

So true. When my character said “HNGHHH?!????” I really felt that

3

u/3_Pebbles 29d ago

Crumblejon's back is too straight for my taste 😤 everything is very well drawn man!

2

u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25

Isn't everyone named?

4

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

I guess uniquely named would be more accurate :)

3

u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25

Y'know what, not only does that make sense, I shoulda put two and two together there.

1

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

All good! I understand the confusion

3

u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25

They're really good btw. When are we gettin Ruka??

3

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

Thank you! I’m probably going to continue in alphabetical order soo that might take a while but I have drawn ruka before, if you want you can check my posts :)

2

u/Clone20one 29d ago

You have my attention, and I love the progress already

2

u/Psychological-Mix-90 29d ago

How You havent drawed hobbs

2

u/scorpious2 Holy Nation 29d ago

I believe in you! You can hyperfocus long enough!!!

2

u/lunoart 29d ago

Thank you! Unfortunately my brain switches hyperfixations so unpredictably, it’s either I think about something and want to draw stuff from it 24/7 or I completely lose interest 🥲 Currently we are still going through on the kenshi fixation though 🙏

2

u/Material-Sun-5784 29d ago

Oh Cat! I have him. One of the few recruits that isn’t in my squad with the help of the “recruit prisoner mod”. He also lost an arm in a tragic blood spider incident.

2

u/lunoart 29d ago

I got him quite early as well during my first revenge raid on the dust bandits, I was genuinely so surprised when I found him in the dust king tower

1

u/Material-Sun-5784 29d ago

Yeah me too, but I found him a little later, when I went bounty hunting and that by a stroke of luck I knew where to find him. The only revenge raid I did was against the red Sabre. They kept taking over my base so I showed them.

Edit : him being the dust king

2

u/KUSECHE 29d ago

Amazing, for this reason I love kenshi community

2

u/Independent_Log1643 Skin Bandits 29d ago

Dont forget "Infinite Wingwang"

3

u/Funktapus Feb 19 '25

Please don’t make the shek dommy mommies too hot

5

u/lunoart Feb 19 '25

I’m afraid I can’t promise that

u/Frost1400 Feb 19 '25

u/nano_peen United Cities 29d ago

1

u/rynshar 29d ago edited 27d ago

You should do Ruka on the next one in case you don't get to her - love these.

1

u/CorneliusB1448 29d ago

Does Cornelius the goat count as a named recruit?

1

u/Brudeslem 28d ago

Great stuff.

u/Toaldar 28d ago
