ID: Digitally drawing and colorized portrait of a rather pretty young black man with narrow face, big eyes, a long nose and freckles. He is wearing a coat stitched together from leather, with fur added at the neck and at one shoulder parts of what seems to be broken down debris from our civilization. There is a blurry forest in the background.

The OG YA dystopian rebel pretty boy

I wonder if David ever tasted fizzy water and if yes what his reaction was. Probably hilarious.

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing of David, a short, stocky young black man wearing a leather jacket and cobbled together clothes, flying a hoverboard while cocking a futuristic bow

Shooting an electric bow while surfing a hoverboard is a bit overkill but I also have to admit that it is so damn cool.

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing comic, with one big panel on top and two smaller ones seeming to hover over it. 1. David and Tally looking out of a house ruin on broken cars, David says: "Oil infected by this bacterium was just as unstable as phosphorus. It exploded on contact with oxygen. And as it burned, the spores were released on the smoke, and spread with the wind. Until the spores got to the next car, or air craft, or oil well, and started growing again." 2. David and Tally from the side, a back and forth started by Tally: "Wow, and they used oil for everything right?" "Like those cars down there. They must have been infected as they tried to get out of town." "Why didn't they just walk?" "Stupid, I guess" 3. Closeup on Tally, looking thoughtful: "I wonder why they don't tell us that in history class. They usually love any story that makes the Rusties look pathetic"

ID: Same drawing style, again a big panel on top and two smaller hovering over it, but the third one seems to dissolve into the background. 1. David looking outside on one of the car ruins, Tally stands behind him and reluctantly looks as well. He says: "Maybe they didn't want you to realize that every civilization has its weakness. There's always one thing we depend on. And if someone takes it away, all that's left is some story in a history class" 2. Closeup on Tally, looking somewhat stubborn: "Not us. Renewable energy, sustainable resources, a fixed population." 3. Closeup on a battered magazine to Davids feet, showing a model posing: "It doesn't have to be about economics. The weakness could be an idea."

Got so pissed about the movie leaving out most of the best scenes, so I drew a comic of one of them
