The world building took place for this project over a series of years. It began with a few illustrations, explorations into what a tropical world might look like, inspired in part by where I grew up in Indonesia. From there it developed and is still being developed into many fictional islands, people and cultures.
The first half of “Naiya and the Foxdragon” takes place in a city called Ora. The capitol of their island, Ora is the center of trade and point of passage further into their island.
