- The illustration is an optical illusion. First, you see a goblin just inside a cave. There are trees overhead.
- Then you see that the tree leaves overhead are the outer edges of a giant black bramble in the middle.
- The bramble appears to be just a giant bush, but then you look at it more closely and realize that it has evil eyes, just like the goblin below.

Hey there, I just want to let you know that I read all comments, even if it takes days or weeks for me to switch my brain over from publishing mode to feedback-reading mode. Thanks for taking the time to write something. Your words mean a lot to me. Be gentle and kind - this is a space where I post my works-in-progress, good or bad, and it can be hard putting my art out there.
