I love the idea of feral borrowers that live in a desert wasteland that actively prey on humans and giants for their bones.

Bonesnatchers are borrowers that have a talent for making horrific poisons. They breed and raise scorpions, ants, spiders, and other venomous arthropods to make deadly poison that they treat spears, darts, and arrows with. Any human or giant unfortunate to draw too close to their villages are met with barrages of poison arrows that quickly kill their victim. The body is buried in the sand and consumed by ants and carrion beetles, stripped completely in only a matter of days. When the process is finished, the sand is removed to expose a new skeleton ready to be made into new homes and shops. Bonesnatchers are proud archers and lancers, dressing in bright colors as a warning to any who may come across them in the wild. Their villages are often vast boneyards illuminated by candles and paper lanterns, capable of housing several thousand individuals.

Oops I haven't posted in months, guess it's as good a day as any to do some catch up!

This one's of Spanner feeling brave enough to go out to one of the JunkTown greenhouses with Clickspring's encouragement. Not quite brave enough to go outside, but it's a big stride for the big robot, who is afraid of basically everything that poses him even a minute threat. Clickspring is helping him heal, one day at a time.

This was based on a pose by my favorite stock artist, @senshistock! Please support her and her amazing work! I know I'll be buying a few copies of her book for my art classroom! Her resources are absolutely awesome.

I never draw the Clay Studio trio, and that is a damn shame because I love them (should've put Happy in this one too but meh, it's old).

Gilly is full of salt and sass. When Clayton pushes her buttons he gets to deal with teasing, but it's better than being on the receiving end of her temper, which has also happened. He's gotten his head dunked in reclaim slip more than once.

Sketch I might finish one day! Maybe 🤷‍♀️

Celio is usually a sweetheart and pretty humble, but when it comes to his body, he'll showboat his muscles any day of the week. He can come across as a bit of an asshole trying to be cute and show off to his little friends. Clickspring isn't impressed for the moment!

Celio's not always overbearing with his size and strength. He's actually trying really hard to learn medicine, because he wants to help all people of all sizes. Right now he is an apprentice under JunkTown's resident medic bot, Doc Schweitzer. He is the clinic's only nurse and he regularly works with smaller patients, even borrowers on the rare occasion when they come out of hiding for help from the good doctor. Most patients are human, and they've become much less fearful of Celio, who is regularly warm and helpful when patients need it most.

Scrapper Sentiments A lot has happened over the last few days, so I wanted to draw something just stress free and cute to ease the tension and nerves I had. So it’s everyone’s favorite pairing Zoey and Dallas! They’ve been put in a AU set in @welcome-to-junktown and it’s honestly so good and pure I need to work with it more I keep telling myself that.  In this setting Dallas is very much a more animal like borrower with the same level of platonic affection for her best big pal Zoey. And Zoey is now a formidable scrapper that will protect her little gerbil at all costs. How’d they meet? Well, that’s a story for later.

Annnnd once again another art trade! Is it really any surprise that it’s another with one of my best buds at this point @kelly-clickspring​ with more @welcome-to-junktown content? They just are always a blast to do anything with! Anyways anyways, this time I got to draw Roger again having a chat with her Gillian and Clayton! When he’s not working behind his tap at the bar, Roger will occasionally hand deliver some drinks to these two ceramicists as they trade and barter between each other. Plus good company is always appreciated! Even if some of his little teasing habits don’t stay at the workplace. Gillian and Clayton belong to: @kelly-clickspring​ Roger and Art belong to: ME AMIGAS

All you have to do is message one of our current moderators, @ruthlessamor@the-little-shoebox or @kelly-clickspring herself and tell us what you can offer to the table. Two things we're looking for is a willingness to be more active in the server and able to think and help construct ways and events to keep that activity running. It this sounds like something you're willing and wanting to do, just get into onto with us on any of the sites were running on as well as Discord. Thank you for reading and we look forward to seeing if you have what it takes to work behind the scenes. -Admin Wellwire

The JunkTown Harvest Festival is officially on! Come one, come all and share the bounties of the summer! All are welcome! Answers to any of the prompts are welcome from the beginning of September to the end of October! A new post with updated prompts will be made each year to keep it fresh and exciting. This post is for 2018, but these prompts are always valid during Harvest Fest season if you like them.

Harvest Festival Fun Prompts are explained below the cut! Check them out and join in as you please! You do not have to enter, you do not have to use other people’s characters, but inclusion and interaction is encouraged! Everyone have fun! 

Undertown is available for those who do not want to have their borrower characters be out in the open. It is essentially a town built into the foundation of the Featherson farm that only a chosen few know about. Gianni will take you there safely if your borrower OC doesn’t feel comfortable. The carnival there is a mirror of the Harvest Festival, just scaled down and built with a variety of tiny objects for safety and fun for little folk!
