[RR0 #1/???] Canada Draft #1 | Nationwight
Nationwight concept for reference;
Trickster spirits who are attached to the concepts of nations by the hip. Supernatural, sometimes appearing to be animals or simple humans. They are only immortal as long as their nation survives, and they draw power from all it does.
They will trick, alter, impersonate or murder to get their way; albeit they prefer to remain unseen by human eye, especially adults or the particularly wary.
They typically observe from afar, but will interfere with matters if such is necessary; typically through supernatural means, but occasionally directly through great violence or deception.
Appears perfectly humanoid from afar, but their forms may have animal or mythical features up close.
They typically stay within their own territory bounds, but will come together for meetings in a designated spot deep in the Canadian wilderness. Close allies visit eachother or exchange gifts.
Maintaining their countries is largely a method of survival, as they do not often participate in society. But, that does not mean they do not identify with it.

Proof of concept. Nationwight is a working title. Alternatively, Countryfae, but that’s a little stupid.
Since I am about to turn 18 in about two weeks, it is about time I begin a more serious country personification variant for me to use.
Complex Countries, originally named Concept Countries, was made to be simple, but usable country personification. It was sort of a project I planned to do while I worked up my skills to create something more impressive in the future.
The name Concept Countries was the one I used for like 6 years, because they were not supposed to be permanent! But, I liked them so much I gave them a proper title.
I started it when I was 9 or 10 and knew I didn't have the skill level necessary to do country art in the way I really wanted to.
I kind of think I still don't have the skills necessary, but I am.. mostly satisfied enough to begin proper concept work.
I was gonna wait until RR4 was finished, but I am getting older. I want to start getting my first design drafts out.
It takes me several years to land on designs I am fully comfortable with, but I am hoping to speed up the process to some degree.
If anyone has ideas, suggestions, or is otherwise willing to provide assistance, my messages and asks are very open. This is gonna be rough.
