Otis and Len / Battam City / Gutterbaby / digital art "Blatant double standards along with a disturbingly ambiguous moral code." Conduct is king and conduct alone would dictate whether an action is "good" or "bad", a core concept that had been engendered at earlier ages. Presented before them however, were obvious examples of bad things, really really bad things perpetrated by their own ilk. The worst atrocities weren't carried out by her enemies, but by her own people. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Arang / No Man's Land / Gutterbaby / digital art The Game: Physically no different but institutionally they are worlds apart. No matter what you do they will always be ahead, always. The game is completely rigged, those who are not on the top are pawns, disposable commodities. The courts had already been thoroughly corrupted with the usual bribes and threats. Their purpose now is to either hide or legitimize state sanctioned criminality. To go into their heads and witness the mental gymnastics required for them to find the "good" in their awful, downright shameful behavior would be a sight to behold, I am sure. "You have bottomfeeders at the top of your society, do you not see that?" Their excuses that anyone in their position, anyone that has the keys would be as abhorrent as them, as depraved and would operate with a superficial moral compass, just like them. "They think you are just like them." Motherbird had changed, a troubling turn for the state. She had become more critical since integrating into state facilities, a bitterness that should never exist in a machine. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

OZMA / Camp Asop / Gutterbaby / digital art "A stigma that invited abuse of the worst kind." Like the Numbered they were no longer seen as individuals but symbols.

Olean and Otis / Purging Grounds / Gutterbaby / digital art Two steps forward, three steps back: "How many skyscrapers do you need before you address underlying social disparities?" A notably snarky response when she was told of how quickly things were progressing but it did demonstrate her limitations. Despite being deeply embedded into state facilities she could not condition the most unstable variable: people. Motherbird had been thoroughly programmed to follow the logical path, the natural order.

Otis / The Old City / Gutterbaby / mixed media The Collective vs the individual: A fevered brain rot, the state delved headfirst into unhinged paranoia. It started with stories in their heads.

Otis and Olean / Double Exposure / Camp Asop / Gutterbaby / digital art "Not pristine, no one is and no one is expected to be, however a recognition of basic rights to life would be a good start." The attempt to paint the Numbered as deserving of their suffering raised many eyebrows to say the least. A tone deaf position when taking into account historical context. Laid bare before all, it became obvious. The state narrative had been thoroughly dismantled. What was left was pure, unapologetic hypocrisy. IATAI's disinformation pivot, like all things prior, did not work. Not only did it fail, it also exposed intent and in doing so attached the state, and IATAI alike, to an insidious starvation campaign. In the face of overwhelming evidence all pretense was reluctantly dropped. The "good guys" did not operate with moral intent or moral conduct, they were not moral at all. Their acceptance and willingness to operate within such conditions epitomized a dark dimension -- they are more than willing to perpetuate the established power dynamic even at the cost of people, irrespective of origin. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Otis and Olean / Camp Asop / Gutterbaby / digital art "Even the act of surviving became a monumental struggle." To be born into such conditions and arrangements instilled in many a deep sense of unfairness. Having little to no avenues that didn't require unacceptable levels of personal compromise, many became resentful. Their talents, their abilities had little resonance and their efforts were better spent on more tangible undertakings. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics
Cowboy Games / Blood Economy / Gutterbaby / digital art The War Market: "Killing is good business so long as it takes place in someone else's yard." They began to "shed" more moderate elements within their ranks. Strangely enough their numbers swelled, they'd tapped into popular discontentment that had a strong base outside the major cities. A large portion of that base came from the most marginalized Numbered communities. Looked down on their entire existence they attached themselves to the most anti-state entity out there: the Secular Eventists. It was obvious to them that those who had real power made little effort when it came to materially improving their lives. In fact, those that expressed their frustrations were routinely met with brutality that is hard to describe let alone accept. To be told that their fates were predetermined and that their suffering should be seen as atonement for past sins only served to push them further into the void. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Sley / IATAI Special Division / Bay City / Gutterbaby / digital art "Since the banks were beholden to the state they became part of the machinations of corruption." Despite the optics, the collective suffering of the Numbered was seen as a good thing by the ruling elite. Focusing almost exclusively on the silver lining, they helped perpetuate that suffering to coerce capital from sympathetic third parties. Promises were made, and of course broken. The funds procured by this method are funnelled into state-aligned accounts and used, for the most part, to clean bad capital. Little to nothing goes to the actual cause. Governance had once again, devolved into an elaborate capital collection scheme. Motherbird had predicted this very outcome, her suggestion that a reset was required made more sense. The level of state connected corruption was absolutely breathtaking and had completely rotted the very foundations of society itself. It would only be a matter of time before things became untenable. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics
OZMA / Secular Eventists Stronghold / Battam City / Gutterbaby / digital art "Goodness is a relative thing and may include any manner of atrocity." An odd change, once victims of a class system, they imposed their own oppressive systems of control when they came into power. A class system of their own design, a class system in which they're at the very top, a class system yet again. It was never about the common goal, the collective good. Ideology has more value as a framework to support mass assembly. Power had always been the objective, appealing to their base was nothing more than hollow patronization. The Supernationalists were no less abhorrent. That they turned to unchecked violence as a tool to maintain their "legitimacy" meant the Eventists had a rich base to source from. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Sley / Post Motherbird / The Old City / Gutterbaby / mixed media Vigorous system integrity checks only confirmed suspicions. The governing apparatus had been compromised as well. Every single level in fact. From the very bottom to the very top, those sacred democratic institutions were only formalities, it is all theatre to divert and offer cover for more illicit end goals. A lone researcher from New Class asked the machine what was to be done about all this. With longterm viability in mind, Motherbird pondered all avenues and their likely outcomes. Without a hint of consideration for the human condition and with cold logical language she issued a response. A mass purge, a reset. A shocking answer to say the least. Sley did not ask further questions and proceeded to wipe all records of that specific interaction. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

OZMA / Arang / Backdoor Exploits / Gutterbaby / digital art A growing uneasiness began to swell up, not only in IATAI's various campuses but even EDOS began to take note of discrepancies in their own databanks. Issues became more apparent when IATAI custodial procedures flagged inconsistencies in the state records. "There's nothing here, it's all gone." Due to the frequency of these aberrations the IATAI supersystems (MotherBird) began to take unilateral steps to ensure data integrity and shored up any potential avenues of attack. She implemented her own encryption protocols along with restricting access for cardholders below Tier III -- effectively blocking off state-aligned elements. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Despite their best efforts the legacy generations do not possess the required character traits needed for real reform.

The reality is that their forefathers had bribed their way into affluence with questionable capital and debauchery. A conspicuous lack of moral guidance, a common symptom of the ruling elite.

To see the platform that helped create and perpetuate such an egregious class system continue to run is a bleak reminder that no matter who is in power, corruption is an absolute certainty. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics
Sley and MB / Selective Moralism / Gutterbaby / digital art Bay State: A hive of corruption and nepotism. Where the vast majority of the populace are at the mercy of a system of governance in which bribes are not only tolerated but endorsed. A society conditioned to believe that capital and power are worth more than substance. Where the justice system, instead of reigning in power overreach is used to legitimize corruption and enforce State narratives. A place where perceived moral high ground matters a whole lot more than the actual thing. Sad to see, but unsurprising all the same. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics

Sley and State Enforcers / Gutterbaby / digital art Strife and uncertainty are assured in time, nothing is guaranteed. What came out however, wasn't just mere animosity brought on by circumstance and political turmoil. What came out was a seething heap of fury stoked by generational oppression. That these things never found any meaningful resolution meant that every generation onwards ended with a mass purge, a reset. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics
Arang / Abstraction Wars / Gutterbaby / digital art To finally find out the truth. A devastating epiphany. That you railed against systems of oppression only to realize that you are part of one. That you make excuses for its' moral failings by simply staying silent. #instagood #instamood #art #artdaily #igers #artoftheday #artwork #artistsoninstagram #artist #drawing #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #machineguts #makingcomics #gutterbaby #battamcitycadet #graphicnovel #comics
