Brant watched in horror as the creature's jaws flexed around his brother. As its furry coils held him still, his kinsman was taken in bit by bit, squirming but helpless. Soon there was merely a pair of clawed feet left, and in a moment even that vanished in a great yawn and gulp. His younger brother was now just a vast bulge making its way slowly down the skunk-snake's neck. Somewhere in the middle of its coils lay the stomach for which three hundred pounds of werebear was bound.
Those blue and white coils shifted as the bear moved through them. Eventually, horribly, the still-twitching bulge that was his brother pressed hard against his leg. Brant sensed that the thing's meal could not quite reach the stomach as long as its coils were busy holding him still. A cool, green, impassive gaze met his own, and those muscular coils began to tighten.
His claws were dug deep into the thing's tough hide, but it did not wince even as blood dripped through its fur. The dagger in his other hand was a greater threat, but careful coils of tail kept him from using it. Brant tried to hold his breath as the pressure on his chest increased. Despite his struggles, he was weakening, his grip in the dagger growing slack.
From a safe distance those emerald eyes watched him. Occasionally a forked tongue would flick. Brant knew that as soon as he was weak enough, as soon as he dropped the dagger, those jaws would come for him. In not too much time he would join his brother, and with its coils straightened there would be nothing to keep them from sliding together into the skunk-snake's stomach.

The coloring on this didn't work out as I hoped. I may recolor it one of these days.

It's just a dagger. Originally it was even smaller, but someone who saw the drawing at Anthrocon laughed at its size so I enlarged it some. 83

Interesting note: I have a friend named Brant, who happens to have green eyes and look rather bearish. You have just made the me who lives in the world inside my head a very happy person.

Oh, you silly skunkie. Sounds like someone has a crush on Nyoka, which is fine, because Nyoka crushes people back all the time. 83

Really? :>
Posted by Strega 15 years ago Report
Oh yes, she crushes them real good, sometimes to the point that they are almost perfectly cylindrical when she swallows them. We just don't tend to see that on camera 'cos it's squicky. 83

Another cool picture with a nicely written mini story to go along with it.

Oh bah. The color looks just fine! Uvuzi had her werewolves, Nyoka has her bears, it's good for everyone... 'cept the were-things.
