Treeeeeeeeeesssssssssss
Well, just one anyway.
I've been in a tree-sketching mood lately, so I decided to draw out Iko's home here, what she calls "The Hollow!" I enjoy sketching weird ol' trees like this! Line shading is absolutely fun to do; it makes me feel like a professional. X'D

Now here's a little bit about this area in particular.
This used to be a marsh/swampy area due to the river constantly flooding when it rains further north, but about 10 years prior to the start of the comic, when Iko was seven years old, the river finally broke out and took over the marsh, permanently flooding it. The trees were already adapted to the water, but the extra moisture and materials have been making some of them behave oddly.
The Hollow here was occupied by another family many years before Iko came to live in it, having been abandoned due to the conditions. It has several floors inside it; about three levels, and nearly half of them were flooded in. In reaction to this, the tree made its uppermost area available for its resident to stay inside. It has also created some odd sap-glazed windows to allow more light inside, including one by Iko's bed to help her wake up in the aftermorning (between morning and afternoon). This hollowed marsh tree is a bit sentient, therefore it likes to pamper its residents for staying in it for so long. Its top is thick enough to stand on and bathe in lovely sunlight, making it a popular spot for Iko to chill out.
