#darktide beach episode (i'm not down bad for commissar dukane you're down bad for commissar dukane)

a travel-ad style illustration of a beach scene featuring commissar dukane from the videogame warhammer 40,000: darktide and a handful of soldiers. she is a brown-haired white woman wearing a swimsuit and a foot prosthesis, blowing a whistle and pointing at the soldiers, who are engaged in various dipshit activities such as bullying each other for alcohol. except for the commissar the scene is in muted green-yellow-brown colors; the beach is covered in nurglite seaweed, and in the background a soldier is being drowned by tentacles. in the far distance, hive tertium can be seen. the text reads: "tertium bay: no fun allowed". the artist's signature reads "ftern 2026".
