A Descent Towards the Stars

This is the observatory of an obsessive astronomer, who has dedicated his life to understanding the stars. He does not care much for anything else but his study of the night sky, and that reflects through the environment he chooses to work in. 

By The Docks In Rain Or Shine

What else is he to do, on a lone port in the middle of nowhere, but fish? 

He casts the rod out into the bioluminescent lake, hearing the water rush over an edge he never explores into depths never questions. He hangs up another lantern to illuminate his home, runs his paws over another of his books for the thousandth time. Change is rare here, maybe only in the way the fish swim in newer patterns, or the growth of lilypads beneath his feet. But he's content sitting by his dock, in rain or shine.

The first two projects have some objects that were downloaded for free from CGTrader, majorly the telescope and the tree with a few other very minor ones. All textures and most other models are done by me.

What's it matter to the moon?

At the end of every year, when the moon works overtime in her heavenly office chair, the coastal people of F'schurmen pay tribute to her earthly incarnation. Lining up in the medieval equivalent of a single file, the men and women and children and dogs and other assorted pets of F'schurmen march along the Tidepools, carrying with them orbs of light; gifts, companions that She gifts the tribe when they grow to experience their thousandth moon. The children run their fingers along the Tidepools, disturbing the bioluminescent sealife, rousing their own lights, sending sparks of blue and orange drifting through the water. Their father rushes them along, at the same time holding his own gift over the head of his daughter to light up the pools, fearing she may brush her hand on too sharp a rock.

He sighs and looks at them fondly. What's it to the moon if they take their time, anyway?

The little man is waiting for the next train. It might take a while.
