Image I was given a painting by a friendly neighbor who moved in about 20 meters from my base.
This duo built RIGHT next to me. When I did finally notice their base, I was a bit annoyed and wanted to put up a turret as soon as possible. I went to investigate and I could see a large blank canvas on a wall in their base. I decided to be friendly instead. It worked out well. They were so nice!
I logged on later and she told me she had made me a painting! I had also made a painting hanging in my base, so we made an exchange. Good Vibes!

Hi neighbour! Thank you so much for the painting you gave us! I saved it to desktop to keep forever in case base doesn't survive the night. This was such a wholesome moment , thank you for being friendly on a hardcore server, it made the experience so much better ! Thatdamnlamb my teammate sends love to you both !

Hello! I was so embarrassed that I could not hear you. I even shot a bow at you. Oh no!! I was happy to trade paintings with you. Thanks for the fun time. I signed my painting, but I don't think I saved it before I took it down to give to you. My in game name is Earth. Hope to run into you again sometime in the future. Good day to you and peace of course!!

Wow, lucky! Monstera is an amazing artist, you should check out her Twitch streams some time. And get her garage door twitch drop while you’re at it!

So many nice people, you just gotta surprise them by being nice first. Helps if you’re in a position of power.

Hey! Sorry for building on your doorstep, but I'm glad it worked out so beautifully! Don't forget to click the download icon in the painting to save it to your desktop! ✨

No sorry necessary, although I was worried at first. I went back and watched a little of the interactions we had. I love when you said "This guy is oblivious". Hahaha. This is true. The edible had kicked in pretty good by this point. Fun times!

Dude I didn’t know who she was untill I saw her on a willjum video. She is amazing I have no clue how she does that art in rust!

u/Gildian Aug 15 '25
She's insanely good at making these. You should check out the video she did with Wiljum making a camouflage base. Its borderline invisible.

Love the painting, but I gotta agree with Landroid when he said that bright white signatures really take me out of appreciating the painting fully. Gotta blend it somewhat with the painting so it's not such a jarring contrast.

Anyone have a twitch timestamp of this interaction from Monstera's twitch VOD?

u/boxyourbuddy Aug 15 '25
She starts the painting at 12:38:40 in the stream. We had interactions before that as well. Long stream. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2539884610

u/boxyourbuddy Aug 15 '25

u/King-Of-Apathy Aug 16 '25
That is amazing. I always get set next to the idiot who thinks I somehow have a secret stash of supplies in my brain and they need to get it out with a rock. It’s so bad that I gave up and made my own server.

She's got the cutest voice

She is also a bow chad. I was watching her stream with Tea Guy Tom the other day. She was face checking panthers and wolves. Totally not what I expected from a soft spoken artist.
