Description
A painting inspired by ~sparkyevil 's Myrmidon Sketch .So Morigar (the orc, who belongs to *Enydimon ) thinks this is an easy win, and so does everyone else except for Hagler (the bugbear). Morigar's reasoning is that Myrmidon needs a booster seat to be able to sit level with him. The orc and the dwarf agree to wager one mug of Thungar's Stout on the contest, the others put down gold on the contest. The barkeep is watching over both to make sure Witt (the goblin) doesn't pocket any of it while the attention is on the match.
Any guesses on what happens next?
Watercolour and Ink on Twinrocker 400 g/sm CP watercolour paper.

Man, that arm looks great!
I think little by little you're creating more depth and volume in your pictures. This is one of the best looking so far in my opinion
BUT ! I still think you need to try going a bit nuts and exagerate the lights, contrast and colour to see how it looks. You're always very tidy and organized, wich is cool, but sometimes it makes us hold back when we draw or paint (I know that from experience ¬¬ )
So go nuts once in a while, NUTS!

Maybe the next one I'll go a bit more "out-there".

This turned out brilliantly. I really love your muted palette. There's a real grittiness to it which fits the scene perfectly.

After a brief struggle Myrmidon slams the orcs arm to he table. Unfortunately the force of the impact is so great that the drink is shaken from the table- spilling the prize on the floor. h well, ya win some ya lose some...
I like how you created depth of field by making the colors of the foreground characters more saturated and contrasted than those behind.

There's an interesting idea! That would be sure to spill the bag of gold too and cause a riot in no time!
Glad you like it, man!

Ah, you finished it! I really like how you did Myrmidon's arm, with all that fussy hair. (Yes, I do love hairy men). All my gold is on him!
I know I've said this before, but I'd really like to see you go just a little wild with your water colours. You always keep them on a short leash so to speak, which of course has its advantages (your style is very earthy and fairy tale-ish).
Anyway, you did a good job separating the foreground from the background. Thumbs up!

Thanks a bunch! Glad you like it!
One of these days I should do something really bright and colourful, but I fear I might make my eyes explode.

See it as a challenge! I hereby challenge you to paint something wild, using vast amounts of colour and water. The glove has been tossed!

Of course the orc is going to win. He's bigger, and greener... like a hulked out version of a dwarf.

My friend, this is fantastic! The detail, in the faces and hands especially, is the best I've seen from you. The mood fits perfectly. The coloring is eye catching and well thought out. Composition is effective. I'm impressed, bro!

I absolutely love how well you drew the anatomy and how neatly you painted the hair on the arm. 8)
But your colouring style is awesome anyways!

I wouldn't be laughing if a brawl broke out because someone made a claim of a "rigged match".
Thanks!
