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.

Ooh I know! Myrmidon wins the arm wrestling and Morigar immediatly claims he cheated. This leads to Myrmidon getting pissed off and eventually an all out bar brawl. Am I right?

The people in the background of the tabern turned out quite nice!!
Maybe you should have drawn Myrmidon and Morigar sweating more, that would show they're putting all the effort into it and that it's going to be a long match

Myrmidon will win of course even if his opponent is a orc. He is that manly.

Smooth watercolouring in your own style as usual.

You seem to go out of your boundaries everytime you draw something now. That's good. Your characters are becoming less mechanical looking and more natural.

I LOVE how the texture of the paper works fluidly with the textures in the picture, especially the skin. I also like the subdued colors for the background. It makes Myrmidon and Morigar jump right off the page. You skill with watercolors has improved dramatically. I'm curious, have you ever thought of mixing media? Like watercolors and colored pencils for instance.

The colors DOOOO make it the best that it can be. And it really is one of your highlights. The quality comes top notch here. Details all the way down to the fuzzy Myrmidon arms really add up to a fun image for sure. I root for him >:3
awesome work! As usual.

Thanks!

Actually I'd disagree with you there; I think that may be the weakest part of the painting. Or maybe I'm just being a wee bit too self-depricating?

Love the strong colors on the foreground characters, so it doesn't take your attention away from them. Excellent detail. This came out brilliantly.
