This pic is a lot darker than my normal stuff, but it was something I felt like doing. This is sort of an illustration of a nightmare Amber has in Book VI, early in her pregnancy.
In the dream, she's near term, and Teyaka comes up and starts petting her tummy. Amebr enjoys this an closes her eyes, but suddenly feels three sharp points on her side. She open her eyes, and instead of Teyaka, there's some sort of teyaka-monster there, with claws, sharp fangs, and not a hint of Teyaka's spirit. Amber scrambles to her feet, and the thing slashes at her, leaving three bloody gashes down her side. She scrambles back, and then sees more creatures coming at her from all sides. While she's distracted, the Teyaka-thing sinks its fangs into her foreleg. At this point, she hears Ragnarok calling her name, and wakes up.
So anyway, yeah. I dunno. Something I felt like I ought to draw. It deals with a mood and things that I don't normally do, so it was a bit of a challenge, I guess.
