This is an illustration from one of my worst dreams. It started out fairly innocent, even fun. It felt a lot like "Unforgotten Realms," this funny little flash series to be found at unrealrealms(dot)com. We (I don't exactly remember who else was with me; I'm pretty sure it was Jay, Heather, and Chris), were just wandering around this traditional forested fantasy world, doing zany quests and having fun. Then we came to this lake, and there were signs of destruction and fire (burned boats, wagons, etc.) along the edge, but no bodies. We kept walking, and we saw this big gray fortress, sort of rounded and squat and twisted-looking jutting out into the lake. Just beyond the curtain wall (which was well into the water itself), there was a big whirlpool. We met someone along the shore who told us that an evil cult had set up there, and that they were sacrificing people to their volcano god. One way or another, we get captured by the evil cultists (who look like those WWII guys with trench coats, gas masks, and assault rifles), and we go inside. It's all twisted and weird, with a lot of stairs. I remember that some other stuff happened, but I forget what it was. Eventually, I escaped and stole an evil cultist disguise. I started running around the place screaming that an earthquake was coming or something, trying to get the evil cultists to halt the sacrifices and get out, so I could free everybody. I run up some stairs and into a little chamber that looks kinda sorta like that place at the old San Francisco Museum of Sciences where they had the fish. There's this whirlpool of lava in the middle, and two evil cultists standing at about two o'clock and ten o'clock, with lines of people tied up and waiting to be pushed in. The one on my left has Jay, and they're just about to push him in. I start up about my whole "evacuation" deal, and the evil cultists are nodding, and I think I've done it, when the one on the left shrugs, shoves Jay into the lava whirlpool, and walks away. When I saw the evil cultist's hand move, I started forward, like I could save him, and when he disappeared over the rim of the lava whirlpool, I screamed "NOOOOOOO!!!" in that ragged voice they use in movies. Speaking of movies, you know when they want to show that someone has had a bad dream, they have them sit up into the camera, gasping and wide-eyed? Well, that was me. Only I didn't jerk upright, I just lay there for a bit, still wire-tense and adrenaline-pumped. I think that this counts as my worst dream to date.
Anyway, this is one of the evil cultist guys. The background and hex circle are supposed to represent the setting, and I've already described the trench coat, gas mask, and assult rifle. Actually, now that I think about it, they look kind of like the evil soldier guys in Atlantis. As for the rest of the costume, I just tried to get it as close to my imagination as possible, and I think it worked out pretty well.
