It doesn't point north. It points home.

Trees

I wanted to chit chat a little bit about a minor but sort of neat aspect of one of my world building projects.

in the world compass to the stars, people have a rather different relationship to the trees.

thing is that the most common kind of magic in the world is plant magic that corrupts the mind.

this means that there are many people in the world who can hear trees speak. because of this trees are well taken care of, and wood harvesting is approached in a different matter.

rarely is the entirety of a tree harvested for use, instead the practice of copping is common. that is harvesting the limbs and branches of the tree. there is an entire team of peoples who's job it is to sooth and heal the tree during the process to ensure the trees comfort. to gain the consent from the tree for what it is used for.

trees are venerated for their age, especially trees tat are over a hundred years in age, they have a similar sort of status to the three fantastic beast (dragons, phoenixes and unicorns) though the trees are seen as a more spiritual connection. in part because the three fantastic beasts are sentient creatures with their own societies.

wooden objects are given a lot of prestige.

I recently bought Clip Studio Paint and have been enjoying working with it far more than I have in Photoshop. These are just some warmup sketches after a busy, busy day at the shop.
