⚙️ Rise of the Machines ⚙️ Robots at Midnight Fan Art Showdown
A fan art contest set on the planet Yob, home of Robots at Midnight
The machine uprising has begun on Yob — a brutal, post-collapse planet where humanity’s last survivors fight for control against rogue AI and cybernetic war machines.
Your mission: Create fan art that brings the world of Robots at Midnight to life. You can draw one of the characters from the game or design your own robot, scavenger, or survivor that feels like it belongs on the planet Yob.
Your art can be hand-drawn, digital, or animated (gif) — whatever style you choose, make it look like it fits in the retro-futuristic world of Robots at Midnight.
