One of my favorite forms of architecture is the Japanese-Western Eclectic Architecture which began in the 1850s and expanded throughout Japan through the Meiji Restoration. It heavily influenced how I wish to construct Goblin Hill. These examples by oldsoultw on insta are some of my favorites.

Set upon the derelict ruins of a sky-bound solarpunk utopia, a young free-climber named Gryffon must venture to the city at the platforms' heart on a quest to stall his home's desperate fight against entropy before it collapses into the nameless sea miles below.

γ€Ž Distance, safety, detachment. It had been nurtured since early on, its presence bellowing and gnashing its teeth capriciously without tire; but your volatile wake was never who you are. At one point, it had protected you. Now, it is time to finally connect. πŸͺ 』 ─ βœ§Λ–Β°

image is a digital illustration of small, kirin creatures gathered on a glassy, water surface. One stands alone to the right warily while a number huddle curiously on the left. In the cloudy blue sky above, an immense black hole looms. #furryart #furry

Hey everyone! So, I've had my commissions closed for a long time, and life has been bumpy, but I think I may have some time to open 1-2 cover slots, depending on volume and deadline, starting soon. Wouldn't mind some fantasy/ttrpg work. Some samples:

Text: Great American Hornbeam Treefolk Image: A great tree sits upon a stony ridge surrounded by thicket. It's roots and branches are twisted to give it the impression of a seated man with a massive knot-hole where a face would be. Two owls eyes blink out in the dark aperture. The tree is surrounded by mushrooms and empty beer bottles.
