Nachtmahr

Hey, finally a drawing again! Hehe.

I wasn't too sure where to put it. So I put it into the "Fantasy" section, although I could have just as well put it into "Macabre and Horror", simply because this is a Nightmare (Nachtmahr).

Actually, the German translation for 'nightmare' is 'Albtraum'.
But the reason why we all have nightmares, is because sometimes those little mean creaturs sneak into our rooms and beds at night and sit heavily on our chest, causing us to dream bad, bad things ...

Their name in German is 'Alb' (can also be spelled with a p) or '(Nacht)mahr'. The only translations for 'Alb' or 'Alp' I could find were 'nightmare', 'goblin' and 'incubus'.

This is my idea of how they might look. I quite like this drawing.
For a different, but absolutely great idea of how a Nightmare might look, please have a look at NightMare by .
