They are shards of glass, a lot of them have other pictures within them, each as a piece of Herne's life. Roy is a Hunter. Present day and at the time of this picture, is the Head Elite Hunter. That's 3rd in command of the Hunter Ranks of Massilia.
This picture is not a picture that cannonly happens. But more of a nightmare of Herne's.
I just saw the pics within the pics when I zoomed in on the drawing. I like that effect alot. It is a cool way to draw a picture. Roy is very high ranking. I like the effects you often put into your drawings
