#RWArtMonth 2024 Day 20: Beehives - Yet another aspect of this unforgiving world that surprised me. Fleeing predators past a beehive will stop you in your tracks. You just have to hope that they get caught in the ensuing swarm too.

#RWArtMonth 2024 Day 21: Spears - I find the spears in Rain World to be elegant in their ability to function as both a weapon and a tool to traverse the environment. Though they are a cause for concern when cornered by scavengers.

#rwartmonth 2023 - Day 7: Vultures
It is a shameful fate for a vulture to lose its mask. While they will be targeted by their own kind, itâs best not to linger if you were the one that unmasked it.

#RWArtMonth 2024 Day 22: Lantern Mice - These creatures are adorable. When I stumbled across them for the first time I couldnât help but be a little taken aback by their cute appearance and harmless nature, which was in stark contrast to the vicious predators that sought me out.

#rwartmonth 2023 - Day 15: BLL/DLL
Deep in the decaying superstructure, an aggressive rot has spread like wildfire. Given time, it slowly begins to wilt. But until it has all perished, this place remains dangerous for any creature that dares to enter.
