All decisions that have had a negative impact on people’s lives put psychological pressure on the official and create chaos in his head. The hat itself is unremarkable and does not stand out from his work clothes. But it really drives its wearer crazy, who, by abusing his power, has harmed ordinary people. I hope I managed to convey this in the art ![2ssad](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/c/9/c9744d5b9749b0b0d804def85bf0ede33a4cf913.jpeg) The second art is something like the crown of justice, a headdress, which must always maintain balance when making decisions. It can be worn by judges or people of higher rank. If a decision is made unfairly, the bowl will tilt to one side and press down on the shoulders, causing great discomfort to the wearer. The item is mythical, and its weight is very light thanks to a certain magic, and will remain so as long as the wearer is steadfast in truth, honesty, and justice. If these principles are violated for personal gain or the gain of another in any way, the bowl and headdress become heavy ---

> [@sooz](#): > > A herd of black and white cows graze in a distant field. There are yellow flowers in the foreground and the sun is shining. TY @sooz, I would be happy to see it published on social media Image 1. The inconspicuous cylinder exerts psychological pressure on the wearer due to their poor decisions regarding people. The more bad decisions, the worse it is for the wearer. Usually, such hats are worn by officials. Image 2. Mythical scales in the form of a headdress are used when authorities make decisions that are important for people’s lives. When unjust decisions are made, the scales tip to one side, causing the wearer great discomfort ---

I love the shading, seems like carved wood and the faces/skull! Very cool idea! ---

Thank you. I couldn’t use your provided paragraphs for the alt text as they’re not written in a way that describes the images to a non-sighted person using a text reader. I did use some of your text in the body of the posts where I could. Character limits on the platforms prevented me from using the entire text on 2 of them.
