Fan Art: Is This Notchy?

A fan* of The Undermountain Saga submitted this drawing of Notchy. This depiction definitely the "bear-like" face. In fact, it appears to be a bear's face on a bigfoot. I particularly like the perspective. The best part has to be the notch in the ear!

Danny and Em

One of the awesome fun things about writing a novel is getting to see the cover art. I went through several iterations before getting to the wonderful covers designed by Melvin De Voor. One artist I worked with offered up this amazing piece.

But there was a problem. The girl, presumably Breyona, is the wrong race. The artist reworked the girl a few times, but it just didn't come together. Meanwhile, I had fallen in love with the picture and kept thinking that the girl looked like Em, Danny's sister. In the end the artist and I worked out an agreement so that I could use this amazing image. You'll notice I've added it to the header of this website. So here's the question. What are Danny and Em looking up at?
