Rainworld flora part. 3
Btw going to reiterate; some names are made up and just aligns with my headcanon!
A common trend in rainworld is being highly adaptable which is no hard task for it's flora. Specialized plants and animals tend to have a major color but for the sake of simplicity, all unspecialized plants are green here. Black is a common trend in the world as well to absorb sunlight and thus, heat.
Headcanons for the top 3 plants here:
Solar Fronds are a type of fern that favors high altitude environments (hence why they're only seen in one region ingame).
Brain Trees are a giant and ancient type of mushroom that has an incredibly long life. They are the main source for iterator mycelial anatomy due to their incredibly complex mycelium network. The inside of them is a bright electric blue.
Wild Bloodtrunks are the non-domesticated version of bloodtrunks, initially discovered deep underground during excavation efforts to the void sea.

How come the only romance in fiction that I find believable is always written by someone who is aro/ace/aroace

Agave I found a stray cat. Can we keep it? Pleeeaase?
I assume you found them outside of my Gardens? They're very lovely! And what sharp claws they have, too!

sometimes I wonder if scavengers think slugcats are related to oysters

Guys I know yeekfix gives the yeeks their intended behavior but I liked their models the way they were, and I can't opt out of yeekfix models now that it's integrated natively
They were so fat and cute :(

Actually let's make a separate post for this one. Look at this piece of official rain world art.
It's sick af it might be my favorite rw piece. So I'm gonna ramble about technical art stuff that it does that I think is neat.
First let's look at the layout. It's got a very distinct foreground middle ground background layering that you can break down like this
With these layers you can put a lot of Stuff in the background without any of the important parts getting lost. If you look at any small section of the piece you'll see Ten Billion wires, plants, metal sticking out, shadows, anything and everything. But since it's all grouped together on the same layer, it sorta fades into the background as Background and you don't lose the main shapes.
The scant use of purple/pink is also very neat. The purple is eye catching. The artist wants you to look at the purple stuff. But some of it isn't important at all, like the curling plants - they aren't supposed to be looked at directly, exactly, but they still lead the eyes around where they're wanted.
Your eye goes from the pink lizard at the top to the dragonslayer symbol to the slugcat, where it lingers for a moment, framed by the purple plants, then you eventually follow the plants and the pole up, the chain left, back to the lizard. The path your eye is supposed to follow is highlighted for you.
Okay last thing I want to talk about. The thing the tags at the beginning of the post actually mention. The secondary light source.
It's pink yeah like I was saying about eye movement. But also. It defines the slugcat. Look at this edited version without the pink light.
The tail gets lost. The foot gets lost. The slugcat becomes part of the scenery instead of the focus. The intended focus is so much more boring to look at then the little lizard.
So yeah I'm obsessed with rain world art I'm obsessed with this piece in particular. Study it and break it down ok <3
