I love the world building details!! I’m also curious that the human hand is a basis for measurement - are there similar hand sizes across the different species/groups?

Cassandra Jean

Thanks!!! The different species have very different hand sizes! Feltihera are smaller than humans, and the smaller Bovipo have longer hands. Humans are the most common race, so their hands are the average! In an earlier Worldbuilding post, I shared a size chart for all the races which should give you an idea.

I just have to say that I love the way you draw hands. I don't know what it is about them precisely, but there's something simple and lovely about them.

Thank you 💚💦 to be honest I love drawing hands and would make a career out if it if I could lol
