A rogue bull elephant, driven crazy by musth and the pain of a broken tusk, has terrorized the prehistoric savanna for long enough. Our heroine is ready to put the beast out of its rampaging misery with the obsidian point of her broken spear!
(If you don’t know what musth is, it’s a moment male elephants go through on a seasonal basis that causes them to secrete a black fluid from behind their eyes. It also makes their moods much more volatile and dangerous than usual.)
I drew this as a birthday gift for my artist friend Jonathan Price who shares my fondness for sexy dark-skinned warrior babes. His character designs tend to have more trappings of science fiction, superhero comics, or anime-esque fantasy than mine do, but he has drawn a few tribal or barbarian fantasy heroines as well. It’s those latter that inspired this scene most of all.
