The 19 Inktober prompt was 'sling' and Nelson's word is 'photos'. I fed that to Google and got stock pictures of arm and baby slings, so that’s what I drew. No character, yet, but maybe soon… A party of adventurers hears a baby crying, searches finds him (male) in a basket up in the crook of a tree where three or four spreading branches have cupped him (the tree looks to have been cropped at some point to get this sort of effect and that the woods here about look to have been managed at least at some point, but a growing wild without the hand of a forester now). There is some blood and the party can eventually track down some remains down by a stream, a young woman foraging with her babe set upon by wolves. She hid him up in the tree and led them away before they tore her apart.

The rogue ties a blanket or old shirt as a sling and carries the baby. “I’ve done this before…”
