On the far away, bountiful island of Waq-Waq, an all female population is ruled by a queen. The women reproduce by growing on the Tree of Waq-Waq and, when grown enough, they drop to the ground emitting a cry that sounds like “Waq Waq!”
I’ve been fascinated by this story for a while now. Initially I had conceived my version of Waq-Waq as an embroidery but then realized that the level of detail I wanted would be best suited to paint.
