Browsing the forums I can't really tell easily how everyone feels about the effects and I'm curious. Personally I thought it was sort of a weird thing to add right now when there's so many other highly-anticipated features.

My entry to the third volume of @sornieth-zines!!! I was so happy to be able to contribute to such an awesome project. I wanted to write a comic of some kind and remembered the bizarre update to Baldwin's recipes back in October of last year. So I thought: what if in Tomo's pursuit of knowledge she encountered too much knowledge?

I learned a lot about my process and how much I value working on a project alongside other people, it's incredibly motivating. Looking forward to more opportunities like that in the future!

Will post WIPs and process pics in another post.

Tundra hatchlings leave their eggs with horns and a full coat of fur and are capable of walking and running short distances just hours after birth (though they typically won't choose to for at least a couple of days).

On hatching, the horns are covered with a layer of mostly-hairless skin. The bone here is sturdy enough to serve a similar function as an eggtooth, but is still developing along with the rest of the skull. It will remain soft and somewhat malleable for the few few months to a year of life. The skin covering will die and be replaced with keratin when the horns are fully developed in late adolescence. The horn will be the same color as the skin was, so the visual difference is minor.

It's easy to affect a horn's development when soft, either accidentally or deliberately. Something as simple as a hatchling spending too much time leaning on one side can train a horn to grow in a "wrong" direction. Some cultures will go to great lengths to correct bent or asymmetrical horns, while others don't consider it a big deal as long as it doesn't affect the hatchling's health. Horns that are severely asymmetrical or curved in a very atypical way (straight forward, for example) can cause neck issues, problems balancing, or even cause stress or injuries to the rest of the skull.

On the other hand, some cultures consider it normal to deliberately sculpt a hatchling's horns. This can be done for purely aesthetic reasons or as a clan/family identifier. The latter is most common in very traditionalist Tundra communities in the Southern Icefield, where it is a very old practice, and is almost never seen in northern flights or mixed-breed communities. Folklore has it that it began as a way to recognize clanmembers in storms strong enough to blow away scent - skeptics say that visibility in a storm like that would be too low to see someone's horns at a distance anyway. The former is highly controversial for being fully elective, so to speak, and Tundras who practice traditional horn modification see it as deeply weird and kind of cruel to saddle your kid with a horn shape that won't be shared with anyone else.

All stances are controversial to someone, and medical opinion is mixed on whether "standard" horn shapes are inherently healthier than just letting them grow, whether deliberate modification is necessarily harmful, when it's justifiable, and how much is too much. Add in the fact that any procedure is irreversible and can only be done when the hatchling is too young to say yes or no - it's a mess.

On the fur front, a hatchling's "baby coat" is waterproof, thin, and extremely soft. Its purpose is to keep the egg liquids away from the skin and protect them from the cold just long enough to crawl under the closest parent. Adult Tundra fur is not waterproof; it keeps them dry by being thick and heavy enough that snow or liquid simply doesn't make it to the skin. A hatchling will start growing their adult coat almost immediately after making it out of the egg, and sheds their baby coat within a couple of days.

Shed baby coats are occasionally collected and woven into fabric in the same way that adult wintercoats are, but it's far less common for several reasons. The first being that the last thing on a new parent's mind is going to be collecting fur from their brand new infant - they have other things to be worrying about! The second being that one baby's worth of fur, or even a whole litter's, isn't enough to really do anything with. At best, you get a little keepsake bandana.

One time awhile back I made a territory map of all the Beastclans locations based off of the canon maps from their encyclopedia pages-

and then we got the map update.

So to the BEST of my ability, here is a comprehensive map of all territories of the Beastclans. It was difficult to figure out where to place some of these- as some places on the old map… just literally don’t exist anymore, or were shifted FAR around, so this is the best I could do with my own logic and reasoning.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone

So i’m doin like a skill practice where i learn different textures but using the flight icons from flightrising. Here three different types of textures i have done since beginning of the year. These all soon be available on my resources for people to use.

Enjoy!
