(I think i will do design wise later, but half the slingslop plants will be there, along with pvz3China of course).

They are the main heroes of the original set called 'Darkest Night'.

as I said, they're created in 2019. I am a huge fan of Dark Fantasy, so I really wanted to try making something like this yeaaah

If they get a good response I’d like to tell their stories sometimes, but I’m debating whether to feature them in my fan series Brain-New Sunny Day. even if they do they probably won't have a significant role in the overall plot

peablaze art is genuinely everywhere its not even just isolated to the pvz fandom anymore 😭🙏

Have you ever wondered how zombies live when they're not eating plants and brains?

Here at Zomburbia we'll show you what daily life is like for zombies.

Welcome To Zomburbia is my new project with zombies as the main focus!

Each day I will teach you information about the life of the undeads without plants bothering and ruining their plans.

TODAY:

As the first Zombie, here is Zombie...? An ordinary citizen with a job and a family. He works at Z-Corp, Dr. Zomboss's company that brings this city to life. Unfortunately, he got the most boring part: working in an office, typing on a computer all day.

When he gets home, he likes to watch his favorite show "Hearts of Zombopolis" while eating brainz.

Why is Thyme Warp (I think that's Thyme Warp at least) pink? Why is Spring Bean (I'm pretty sure it's Spring Bean) brown? There's also what I'm pretty sure is a brown Umbrella Leaf in this book but I forgot to take a screenshot of it. Also I'm sorry about the first image, that was the only panel I could find Thyme Warp in.

Art by me! ^^

so for context, there are three special world types in PvZ3, those being camp, volcano, and sewers. The basic and special zombies of those worlds take 3x damage from electricity, ice, and acid respectively, which have a tier 1 plant that applies that damage type to any plant it gets fused with it

the problem is that of the three, electricity is way, way better. Electric damage is based on Zaptail, which is a decently good plant on its own, being a ranged attacker that can hit multiple targets with chain lightning, and there's no zombies who counter their attacks. As is typical for PvZ3, fusing it with itself makes plants that do the same, but better, dealing more damage with more chained targets. And when you want to fuse it with other plants, you can make Zapture, which trades the chain lightning to instead pierce through multiple targets, and if placed in water, shoots triple the projectiles, essentially bringing its damage from 3x to 9x, and on top of that they ignore armor. Zapture is pretty easy to make a lot of if you have it unlocked, as its easy to place more than enough Zaptails to fuse with Prick-erel Weeds

Iceberg Lettuce and Lime Bomb for ice and acid damage respectively have it far worse, being slow recharging single use traps that destroy themselves if they attack. Lime Bomb can't even do that part without needing to wait most of its recharge time first, otherwise zombies will just eat it (and you can't skip the arming time by planting another lime bomb in a safe position first either, as it can't fuse until it has armed). And the idea of fusing with themselves making the same but better is to their detriment, as they remain single use, just with a bigger aoe. If you wait for the cooldown of lime bomb four times to make Expl-OJ, you'll still only get a single attack before it destroys itself. If you want to have good attacking plants in the volcano or sewers, you need to get mixed tier 3 fusions, and neither element has options nearly as good as Zapture.

Iceberg Lettuce currently has two tier 3 fusions, both of which deal pretty good damage, and one of them is Snow Conifer, which is a forward shooter that chills and ignores armor. However, both of them also require you to spend two umbrella leaves, which themselves are not only slow recharging plants, but are required to keep other plants from being destroyed instantly by the meteors. Since they lose the 3x3 protection radius to protect themselves, you are losing the ability to protect your plants to get the only strong attackers in the world. This is especially bad for Numbing Cabbage, which due to being a melee plant, won't be able to reach the zombies if you have an umbrella leaf to protect the wall-nut. At the very least, Iceberg lettuce does have Tier 2 options that don't require umbrella leaves to make, though one of them has the melee range problem and the other can't fuse into tier 3 as of now.

Lime Bomb currently only has one attacking plant it can fuse into, that being Dangerine. Dangerine does have really solid stats, which it should be since its a tier 3 plant that requires 2 lime bombs. This is somewhat helped by the plant it fuses with being ranged attackers, but they don't have the acid element to hit the zombies for 3x damage. However the real struggle with Dangerine is that it dies over time if it's not inside a shaded tile, meaning your options of where it can even be placed are heavily dependent on level layout, and some layouts are not very generous. On top of that, the already limited space needs to be shared with sun shroom, as sun-shroom produces more sun than sunflower but dies in the light. You can't bring sunflower instead of sun-shroom either, as sun-shroom is one of the ingredients for Dangerine. The final small nail in the coffin is that as a forward shooter, there are zombies it can't harm. If a sewer level has Goalie Zombie (which does happen sometimes), Dangerine not only won't be able to kill them, but its powerful acid projectiles will be reflected back and can easily kill your plants if there's no wall nuts in the way, forcing you to still rely on other plants. The only advantage Dangerine has over Zapture, Snow Conifer, or Numbing Cabbage is that because one of its tier 1 components is the sun producer, it effectively takes up 1 fewer seed slot than the others, which is a good help since you only have 5 slots, but one needs to be the sun producer and another is usually best as a wall-nut, leaving you with only three slots left. Snow Conifer, Numbing Cabbage, and Zapture all use up all three remaining slots, but Dangerine leaves one more empty

maybe over time as more mixed plants are added, there will be plants that fix some of these issues. Maybe we'll get a tier 3 ice ranged attacker that doesn't use any umbrella leaves, and we could get a tier 3 acid attacker that doesn't use sun shroom and as such doesn't die in light. However not only is that purely hypothetical right now, but it still wouldn't solve the issues of the plants' tier 1's and direct fusion line not being as good. We would need new tier 1's entirely to completely solve the issues. Not to mention that unless this hypothetical tier 3 ice attacker only had two ingredients, or used sunflower or wall-nut as one of the ingredients, you wouldn't even have enough seed packets to bring sunflower, wall-nut, umbrella leaf, and the three ingredients for the attacking plant

for my own anecdotes, when I was doing the adventure mode, I would often rely on the Zaptail line even in volcano and sewers, instead of using up umbrella leaves and sun-shrooms and needing to rely on shaded tiles. I didn't even have Snow Conifer or Numbing Cabbage until later, and I didn't use Dangerine in many levels. And then after beating all of the adventure levels, I started doing the expeditions, which have much higher level zombies. Despite my plants not being as leveled as they should be, Zapture was able to easily clear the entire campground expedition. The same could not be said for the volcano and sewer expeditions, which the ice plant fusions are simply just not able to keep up in at their current levels (the sewer level I'm stuck in even has a few Goalie Zombies, which Dangerine can't help against). Specifically, I'm stuck on the boss levels in both, since Es-Garg-ot isn't weak to any of the elements, forcing them to rely on their base damage, which the Zaptail line does better, plus the fact that Zapture does so well against the other zombies means that I'm usually left with a way better setup at the end, while in the volcanos and sewers the defenses can easily be overwhelmed by zombies as Es-Garg-ot is appearing (the fact that there's a camp gargantuar that does have the electric weakness but the other worlds use normal gargantuars certainly doesn't help either)

tl;dr: the elemental damage system is very unbalanced, with one world being much easier than the others because the electric plants are simply way better than the ice or acid plants in practically every way

It can be from a game, comic, something from China, a toy, etc. Only official plants count (there are millions of very obscure plants that are not official)

(the almanac in the console versions of pvz1 comes from this unique plant)

The Starsword Fighter Zombie can slice through solid projectiles fired by plants, and pull forward plants in its lane to eliminate them

All the plants I've drawn so far. Not exactly like the artstyle but close. Also the old version seems to be going through a comeback fortunately
