Description
For !The annual Turtle Festival is held on the southern coast of Windsonde. Many traditions related to the turtles and the beach have developed over the years. One tradition takes place at the slick clay deposits on the eastern end of the beach. The pale white clay is used for painting washable designs on feathers, and for the infamous Turtle Festival mud wrestling! Windsondeβs toughest gryphons love to show off during this event, but wrestling in the slippery clay requires as much technique as brute strength. Using beaks, claws, or talons against your opponent is forbidden during this event.
Briggen hesitated when Dom challenged him to mud wrestle. Dom is quite beastly, after all. But who knows, maybe brains can beat brawn in the slippery mud.
The two Skrekill faced off, and Dom lowered his head to charge. "Typical," thought Briggen, rolling his eyes. Dom rushed at Briggen, who readily caught Dom around the neck and pulled him off balance.
Two Grandesques, Skerry and Skeiiya, gleefully watched the Skrekrill brutes beat themselves up.
YAY, turtle festival you are so fun. I figure the gryphons like watching these matches, so I added an audience.

Perhaps brains might beat brawns. Love the feather work on the gryphons.

GUH your style always blows me away. Those WINGS. <3 Poor Dom, he should've known better than to just rush at somebody like Briggen. xD

I totally dig the action lines here, and the perspectives done! Turtle Festival mud wrasslin' was a great choice. Looks like Dom's about to get a beakful of wet clay for the trouble there...
Also totally lovin' the inclusion of the peanut gallery, ahah!

Oh my lordy, look at those boys go! I'm flattered that you gave Briggen a decent chance at victory against such a formidable opponent. XDD And as always, I love the way you paint. Those delicate lines and textures go great together, and check out those muscly legs and fabulous poses! I'm really excited to finish up my part now.

Well Dom has that fault of singlemindedness, I couldn't resist having Briggen taking advantage of it XD
Thanks! I'm super excited to see what you'll do!

I love how the two Grandesques are just casually watching Dom and Briggen beat up on each other. They don't care who wins or loses; they just like the entertainment. Dom is hilarious too. Since he's huge, I'm sure charging into battle like a rhino works well for him ~50% of the time... and the other 50, he seems to be facing someone a little too intelligent for that to work! I have an excellent role for him in Valcaur's next challenge.

Or those grandesques could also be casually scruntinizing the skrekrill's battle techniques for future use

Ha! This is great. I love the wings in this, you're always so wonderfully good at posing them. I actually really like the muted color palette, too, though because of it I almost wish there were just a -few- more values drawn out of the painting.

wow love it! hehe Dom's going down! Their wing feathers are fantastic and the two spectators are perfect, can just imagine grandesques enjoying watching skrekill youths they normally have to chase away pounding on each other for a change
