Description
Greetings, grapple fans! It’s time for another bout of orcish sumo wrestling, and tonight’s contenders are Mozgrog Broo, the green chap in the black mawashi, and Kumataikai, the burly bruin with the funny topknot. We join the action as Mozgrog discovers why it’s not especially clever to try and bearhug a bear.

This illustration is a sort of sequel to this one: [link] , in which my orc character Ogrokh took on Raijin the minotaur in a somewhat unconventional sumo match. Kazuma, the unfailingly excellent Japanese artist who created Raijin, very kindly drew me a picture of Ogrokh in return – and between us we decided to do another art trade featuring a couple of our characters bashing each other. The picture above was my half of that trade (as you’ll probably have gathered, Kumataikai is Kazuma’s creation and Mozgrog is mine), and if you’d like to see what Kazuma came up with, his outstandingly ace picture can be seen here: [link] .

For those interested in technical details, this piece was drawn in pen and coloured entirely with Karisma pencils, because at this point I still hadn’t learnt how to do proper lighting effects in Photoshop. I am a clot.

There may yet be further tussles between this bunch of rowdy reprobates, assuming that I can find (a) the time and (b) a new supply of white pencils. Don’t touch that dial, viewers!
