Coming back to Lorwyn is amazing. I was asked to be part of the design team for the Lorwyn Eclipsed set and worked with Deborah Garcia as the leading art deriector to try and be true to the original set while still coming up with new ideas. I did a lot of design work on the treefolk and was very excited when asked to do a legendary one for the set. In my sketch he had a long pointy nose but i felt he needed something more iconic to me a named caracther - so the twirly nose was added. The place reminded me of one of my first cards for magic: Thornbite Staff. If you look closely you can see its till laying there; even after all these years.
(I love that when I saw the rule text for the card "Ferrafor, the Young Yew" his tap effect can actually be combined with the staff if you have a sacrifice outlet)
