Description , Tough Contest appeals round. Theme: Martial Arts, style depicted: Kickboxing

(I wanted a sports themed tough contest, so I could do football. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next tough contest. And yes, I checked that kickboxing was indeed a martial art.)

I'm honestly not as happy with the shading as I could be, I feel like it could be done better but with everything going on and coming up I am unsure if I can fix it or redo it in time for the deadline. I am also pretty sure I blew it in rendering the bloody knuckles, but whatever.

The Feraligatr is in fact not Athens' Pokemon, unlike the prior four. His name is Rook, and he belongs to Emily Tradewind, a friend of Athens. Rook wanted to give contests a try, and Emily gave him over to Athens because he has better experience in handling for Contests. The illusion of being in the locker room beating his hands raw is broken by the following list of items I conceive as being used in the contest:

- Big Scale x6 (plating in the kickboxing pads, two for each leg and one per glove)
- Carpet x2 (shorts, glove fabric)
- Fluffy Bed x3 (Punching bag, mat, Glove padding)
- Heroic Headband x4 (Athletic "tape", straps for leg pads)
- Spotlight x2 (Overhead Lights)
- Jagged Boulder x...too many (background walls and floor)
- Black, Gray, Yellow fluff x...Too many again (fake ceiling crap)
- Poison Extract x1 (colored red, Fake(?) blood)

Thanks! Art therapy at work; it helps to not have to think about my schedule and instead think perspective and poses and such c:

I love drawing that expression! It makes me feel overconfident whenever I do~ Thanks!

static-mcawesome In reply to MrAthens [2011-01-08 06:18:17 +0000 UTC]

aah, i wish i could draw at work. :C but i get to think up stories while i do my mundane tasks instead, so at least that's something~

ahaha, do you make the face you're drawing while you draw it? because i do that all the time.

I uh... can't really draw at school either |D I get to doodle though! I've got to get a new set of phrases orz

Pretty much! If I don't know how an expression looks off the top of my head, I make it c: This tends to elicit stern and angry looks though |D
