reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!
House/structure concepts. The human characters I’m developing come from a lineage of marsh and delta-dwelling peoples that have a thriving ceramics culture due to the naturally abundant clays carried by the river and deposited on its shores. Settlements appear on scattered hilltops along the borders of the delta and the plains, which rise above the highest seasonal flooding. Temporary structures on floating platforms are common further into the delta floodplain during summer food-gathering expeditions.
Permanent homes and buildings are made from a cob-like clay and fiber mixture, often with wooden supports; young saplings are preferred due to their flexibility and can conform to the desired circular shapes. In resource-rich areas, some structures can be “fired” by filling the chambers with wood and charcoal and burning for days, partially or wholly vitrifying the thin walls. Most towns have a large central kiln; ceramics are a major trade export.
Their architecture takes on rounded shapes due to an ancient association of thrown bowl forms with the hearth and womb, though that history is not necessarily relevant or common knowledge to everyday people. Circular and spiral motifs recur in design and architectural planning due to wider cultural and religious understanding of The Spiral as the guiding force of magic and the rhythms of existence. The arrangement of cosmic bodies is conceived of as an overlapping spiral pattern, the intersections of which have tangible effects on magic-users’ ability to channel The Spiral’s cosmic power. It is said that dragons’ ichor contains fine particles of starstuff which reverberates with cosmic energy and increases their power and connection to The Spiral beyond what any human could achieve.
A more wordy post because I don’t know how to draw buildings. Only one image for Drakes.
Architecture, in general, is varied due to the nature of the Feyfolks’ variety in size, body shape, and species. Most Architecture is spacious and wide, with wide areas for air landings and take-offs.
Architecture, in general, uses the land around it: growing trees into dens and homes, carving homes out of mountains, ravines, and sinkholes, and Finding sanctuary in underwater cliffs, ravines, and coralline structures. Their architecture prefers to take and give back to nature.
Drakes use a lot of fire as it’s a vital tool for them. It’s highly desired by most (if not all) of the feyfolk enjoy. They love knowing a firebreather because then they don’t have to hire a specialist, they could just exchange favors.
In the lower sections they dig out enough room for seperate rooms for (similarly aged) Children and the Parents.
Food storage is full of shelves, jars and crates to hold spices, herbs and dried meats. The extended pantry + a colder lower storage. They don’t have fridges but they do Ike to pack away snow and ice into this area and locking it away. Cooking wares and cooking is done elsewhere, such as the entrance or a Separate area completely.
Housing is a place to relax after working out and about, not really to host folks unless folks are family. It’s meant to be safe and relaxing, decorated how they want and potentially raise kids in.
Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where

Hopefully I can crunch out one or two final attacks before the end of the Art Fight period. If not, I think I'm happy with this being my final attack of the year
I made an acc for fic/art ideas if anyone’s interested! Just thought I’d post here just incase. It’s @hare-brained-schemes
flying the original character artist flag with pride
Heeey.
I moved this blog’s dedicated thing into a side blog :) it’s Here! I’ll post over there about The Feylands from here on!
I’ll still post here (Feylands things or other,) but this’ll be my main blog now. I’ll post my regular art on it and do, normal things!
And also redesign this space to be more Me-core instead of Feyland based, haha.
Been a while since I posted an update in my fic here. here is a update on my fuc here,, i guess,..
