Get inspired with this week’s Fantasy Art Wednesday, where fun fantasy artwork is combined with a writing prompt to get your creative juices flowing.
I don’t know who made this week’s fantasy artwork, but it caught my eye. This intriguing looking place seems like the inside of a cocoon or hive rather than a forest. Is it human-sized, or tiny? The dwellings, if that’s what they are, seem extraordinarily bright. Do beings of light live here? Or at least beings with the capacity to tolerate greater levels of light than we can? What does your imagination conjure up when you look at this picture? This tangled, glowing world can be the foundation of a great story.
This strikes me as a living village, where the structures themselves shift at will, and sometimes grow into new shapes. Maybe a section of wall reaches out to take a coat, or grasp a lantern. This seems like a home for creatures of earth and wood, creatures small of stature who prefer to stay close to the ground. Gnomes perhaps, or fairy folk, though a bit heartier than the more mainstream fairies. These strike me as the homes of good-natured folk who don’t put up with a lot of nonsense. I imagine them scolding humans twice their height, a wooden spoon in hand.
