Very stunning, and what an amazing palette!
This is quite a hard topic. If you look for solarpunk clothing online, you'll find fashion clothing mostly in green and with leaf patterns or such, like this, but I find this to be too unrealistic, as most designer fashion, in the sense that nobody would wear that in a daily context.
But actual wearable solarpunk clothes, at least for me, would be a mix of work-focused very resistant clothing, like this work overalls or this cargo pants, with a mix of weather thoughtful pieces of clothing, like this cross pants, which are quite fresh while protecting your legs from scrapes, or, if you lean more into breaking the gender-norm, some long loose dresses are quite comfortable, specially in hot weather (and the flow is so nice!)
In my opinion, any durable and useful piece of clothing can be considered solarpunk, even more if it is field-work or nature-oriented, like mountain boots or cargo pants (also, any patched clothing does the trick, although it's best that it happens organically rather than buying it). And as a final personal note, I find colourful or patterned clothes quite nice when they're not overwhelming, so for example cross pants or a loose oversized shirt, although it is quite uncommon in male clothing (I could not find a picture of T-shirt and shirt other than with the flannel shirts or plain ones) and I'm not sure how environmentally friendly cloth dye is (but the same could be said about the clothing industry altogether). Hope this helps, even if just a bit :)
I really enjoy this "down to earth" artistic takes on solarpunk. Usually, I enjoy when art pieces have an undertone of fantasy or unrealism, since that allows for highlighting some key aspects of whatever is in focus. But this way of depicting something I can very much see happening right now, specially with all the backstory/documentation you've added, makes for a very piece. Congratulations! I hope to see more of your work around :)
I partially agree, but ransacking broken technology does not need to make the building unsuitable for other community functions, quite the contrary, it could even help. For example, a decayed server room can be dangerous due to heavy metals or other components and would serve no real purpose to a community-oriented building (as well as so many satellite dishes). So the raiding could both make use of the materials and make the building safe for other uses.
Basing the lack of accessibility on the fact that something is fictitious is actually a pretty lame excuse. If we can't be inclusive in fiction, where it comes down to adding a sentence or the stoke of a brush, how could we even try to make reality inclusive, the solution being so much more complex and time-consuming than that?
I love the addendum at the end saying

Not gonna happen, beware public patches of dirt!
Yes! I might have gotten a bit angry at the placement of some pictures, but in the end it came together. Thanks for the suggestion! Now I only need content to post...
Just changed it! I might also change the font later, or at least change the icon for a picture instead, bc now that I am seeing it in my phone, I am noticing that it is imposible to read what it says XD.
The Metropolitan is such a nice pen. I had it as one of my firsts and recently found it laying around and brought it into my currently inked pens again. Such a nice feeling of nostalgia! :D
I think Black/Green would be nicer for longer texts, but the other inks are dark enough already, so emerald brings some shine to the trio, good choice! And I simply have to complement you on the pairing of inks with pens, trully magnificent!!!
Hope you enjoy them a lot more, and hope to see yor handwriting around too ;)
If you suffer from it also while being around it, it might be time to get rid of it, sadly :( But if it is just when cutting it, wearing a ffp2 mask or similar makes a huge difference, or at leat it does for me (Also rolling around in it might not be a great idea XD). Other than that, just power throught the 2 weeks/ month the worst part lasts for I guess, at least the bees will keep you company :)
Oh buggers! Well I'll keep checking to see if the update fixes it. And they did talk about moving the community but were not sure, and some people kept posting in the original one, so not sure where they stand rn.
Thanks for the help though! :)
Another very nice and thought-through post :)
I have to say, I completely understand your drive to include ruins ans the like, but rusted cars in the middle of the road, specially having co-op recovery groups as in your previous post and some people using the roads, seems quite unlikely. Still, it emphasises your message very nicely.
