The story of Redwood Pinecone Drake
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The drake favors fallen timber after a cold night. The log rises just far enough above the damp ground to catch the first light coming through the trees. The creature moves with its head low and uses its wide paws to hold the uneven surface.
Each scale flares at its edge like the section of a pinecone. The overlapping pattern is tightest around the shoulders, where the plates are smaller and closer to one another. Further back, patches of green moss rest between the reddish surfaces and soften their outline.
The pale horns give the head a clear direction against the darker grove. The body sits low over the log, keeping its silhouette distinct from the vertical trunks. Golden flecks in the air mark the line of sunlight across the foreground.
In the drake’s story, fallen trees connect the parts of the grove that flood during winter. The same routes stay useful in warmer months, when the young ferns grow thick in the hollows. A creature built for walking can move between those patches without taking a long detour.
