This drawing is a great choice for the grand prize. It shows a lot of creativity by picturing a home as a delicate pod, hanging from a branch and it even has a name -- Glostrulyn. This idea fits our Forest Folk worldbuilding perfectly because it's a home that looks like it grew right out of the forest, blending in naturally. The detail is simple but effective, like the texture on the pod and the small door. For artistry, the soft colors and smooth look give it a calm, magical feel. It's a unique and fitting home for our Forest Folk.

This entry is very creative in how it shows Forest Folk homes. Even though it's set up like a real estate ad, it gives us a clear look at different types of homes built into tree trunks. This really helps with our worldbuilding, showing that Forest Folk might live in various kinds of homes, maybe even in apartment style trees. The detail comes through in showing different features and even furniture options. The artistry is clear and charming, making it easy to imagine these homes in our forest world.

@boley

What a charming entry. This totally sings with its creativity, turning a tree trunk into a cozy, functional home and even showing a little Forest Folk character enjoying life outside. The way the dwelling is integrated directly into the tree is just wonderful. The detail is rich, from the distinct foliage of the tree home to the charming elements of the outdoor scene, making it feel incredibly alive and welcoming. And the artistry with its bold lines and vibrant colors is quite engaging, creating a classic storybook feel that's just irresistible.

Just curious about 'worldbuilding'? It's basically the awesome process of creating a whole new, imaginative world for stories, games, or just for fun You think about everything from its history and geography to its creatures, cultures, and yes, even what their cozy homes look like It's all about bringing a fictional place to life, piece by piece.
