Description Tedium approaches the group with the same focused glare he always has when he's in the mood to settle something!

Greyfass turns to greet his fellow warrior, but is quickly interrupted by the large bear now standing in front of him. "I've been noticing how soft you've become around these humanoids! You're just a pushover now! You need to take your position on top, not rely on Touya all the time!"

Beakwood and Garriel glance at each other, then towards their Captain, awaiting his response.

"Touya is still learning. He will get the hang of things soon enough, as will Kira. If you show some patience you will see that they are more than capable of helping us in our war against the Darkanoids".

Tedium turns his nose up before replying "I don't need to wait for them just like I don't need to wait for you to grow some balls!"

Tedium then looks over to Beakwood and Garriel, who have been eagerly listening in on the whole thing. "I suppose you two would like to see some proof that we can progress faster without Grefass or his little excuse of a human owner!"

Beakwood steps forward, trying to diffuse the situation "This isn't the time, Tedium. Greyfass has been a fine leader so far and you have no reason to doubt him now".

Tedium snarls a little at the eagle's words and then turns back to Greyfass, who has maintained his calm composure "I challenge you to a duel! The last animaloid standing gets to call the shots. How about it?"

Greyfass shakes his head and replies "We have more important battles to think about without having to fight amongst ourselves. We carry on as we have been already and that's final."

"Ooohh, scared I might show you up in front of your minions? I knew you were getting soft!"

Greyfass turns his back on Tedium "I am not interested in your challenge. Your lack of patience proves that you would not be suitable as leader."

Tedium grits his teeth "Come back here you coward! I'm not done with you yet!" Tedium lunges forward and grabs hold of Greyfass' tail, sending a tingling shock all the way up the wolfs spine. He howls as he swings himself towards Tedium, knocking him back off with his elbow.

Tedium stumbles back on to Gariell, who then grasps his arm in a hold and asks "What do you think you're doing to our leader? Don't you know your place? The captain refused."

"What'd I do? I just pulled him. I wasn't finished with him!"

"The captain's tail is extremely sensitive" Beakwood calmly explains "He hates being touched there."

"It's not my fault he's such a sensitive sissy!"

"You would not say such things if you had a long tail of your own." Greyfass defends himself, starting to get frustrated at the younger warrior's insubordination.

"If I did I wouldn't be a weakling, like you! What if a Darkanoid finds out about it? You'll crack like an egg!"

"You don't know what it's like!" the wolf yells, exasperated.

"Calm down, everyone." Beakwood lifts his hands, putting himself between the two.

"Yeah, let's all calm down. I'm sure Tedium won't do it again, Capt'n." Garriel joins in.

"Yes I will! I won't stop doing it until the mutt either admits he's a wimp or until he stops being one!" the bear yells, his threats making Greyfass pale under his fur "And I'll start right now!"

Tedium tries to force himself out of the gorilla's hold. "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" In order to control him, Gariell pulls Tedium to the ground and clasps his legs around Tedium's other arm to execute a crucifix hold.

"Captain, if I might..." Beakwood approaches his leader "Although the need to suggest this pains me, it might be appropriate to employ some corporal punishment."

This diverts his attention from the struggle in front of him "How can we? That is not our way. He's rebellious, but he doesn't deserve a beating."

"No no. You are misunderstanding. I was thinking of showing him how you yourself feel when your tail is touched. You see..." He approaches his beak to the wolf's ear, whispering his idea.

Greyfass listenes closely, then lets a shy smile cross his lips "It's arguably still torture. It's also incredibly silly."

Beakwood smiles too "The humans have a saying: desperate times call for desperate needs."

"You have my permission."

Approaching the two animaloids on the ground, Beakwood comes down on top of Tedium to help restrain his wildly kicking legs and manages to sit himself on one securing it in place. "Hold still. You need to learn that what you just did was unforgivable. Pulling our Captain's tail was a big mistake and now he's about to show you exactly how it feels."

"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Tedium yells.

As Tedium shouts and kicks his last free leg at Greyfass, his once free ankle is swiftly trapped under the tight grip of Greyfass' arm, who is now ready to show the bear he means business.

"Get the hell off me! This isn't a fair match!"

Greyfass ignores him. "Has everyone got a hold of him tight?" Gariell and Beakwood position themselves comfortably as Tedium struggles, but can't break free.

"Yeah, he isn't going anywhere" Gariell replies.

Greyfass sits down with Tedium's ankle still firmly restrained under his arm. "Right then... here is a little sample of what it's like for me to have my tail grabbed."

Greyfass scrapes his claws along Tedium's sole and has to stabilise himself as Tedium shrieks and struggles to pull away with all his might.

Beakwood joins in by running his feathered fingers up and down along the bottom of Tedium's other restrained foot. "You don't seem to like this very much do you, Tedium?" he asks mockingly.

Tedium breaks out into an embarrassingly loud fit of laughter as the pair continue to torment the bottoms of his feet. Gariell then starts to tickle Tedium's neck, which drives him into a frenzy. "I think we can still do a little better than this". he says, getting carried away with the events. "Look, there's another open spot for you, Beakwood, right there!" Beakwood nods and reaches down to relentlessly tickle poor bear's sides.

Greyfass looks around to see Tedium crying out with laughter as he desperately thrashes about in an attempt to free himself. "So you thought you were the toughest, that you had no weaknesses, huh? We'll see how tough you really are. Let's keep this up through the night."
Tedium, too preoccupied with crying in laughter, can only shake his head and hope that he will be shown some mercy.



Beast Warriors Gulkeeva is the creation of Hidaka Masamitsu and his team and is not my own creation.
Also Venombahamut helped to produce this story. Thank you.

Where do I begin with this...well on one account, I must thank you Foot-paws for introducing me to this show, as I was intrigued in watching this show for awhile, but never really thought to watch it until recently. It was old, it was quircky and hammy at times with a routine formula, but I still liked it as a whole (even if the ending does leave more to be desired). And now this.....this is perfect. The level of homage to Beast Warriors Gulkeeva in this picture is astounding and you nailed everything about the show and mind you, this is one of your earlier pictures! I may not be some art critic or something special like that, but you nailed the look so dang wonderfully, it looks practically exactly like the show, except the detail is down just a little, particularly on Beakwood and Garrel. But Greyfuss and Tedium look exact copies which is amazing! Frankly, looking back at the anime and this, I could easily see myself asking if you were part of the staff. Because I've watched it now, I have a much greater appreciation for this picture than originally, so it would best be appropiate to finally comment on it now.

Not only do Greyfuss, Garriel, Tedium, and Beakwood have the same looks as in the show but also also captured thier facial expressions down. Garriel looks as jolly as ever when he is being silly and innocent, like he is with the kids, Beakwood is rather calm about the whole matter, Greyfuss has that gleam of interest he gets whenever he wants to take something apart to find out how it works, and Tedium...well this bear's hysterical face just looks right with his usual stubborn and haughty demeanor. He'll surely be embarrased from this ticklish ordeal for many days. I love the positioning in this, Tedium completely overwhelmed from all sides, Garriel pinning his arms back, Beakwood and Greyfuss restraining his legs and feet in varied positions~ It all just comes together to make a very complex web of bodies. I love it. And you even teased the viewers such as myself with a veiw of each of thier feet too, which you made completely accurate, leaving no detail unturned. I should know, I.....watched the footshots quite intensely. The footwear on each of them is exactly like how they are in the show as well, which I really admire, from Garriel's shoes that barely ever let you see his feet, which you thankfully remedied here, to Tedium's pawpads, and even to Beakwood's stirrups. And you didn't leave out any toeclaw either, all of the detail in the footshots in the show were added here, no exceptions. I really love that about this. Its all wonderfully hot and these warriors are just as attractive as ever~ Also, the background is a nice touch, I can presume that they are in the abandoned part of the city, when they couldn't go back to Peach Tree because they were being followed? The looks of Tedium thrashing under thier combined might is very amusing, emphasing his strength...only making it even more hilarious that simple scritches and prodding turns him into a teddy bear in seconds. And I can't forget about the name of the title, its so cheesy like some of the others that it sounds really plausible to have for a name for some lost episode. (and much better than the name 'Golden Snow') I can already hear the jingle for the episode in my head reading "A Wild Knight of Tickling"

And this story, good gosh Venom must have been thru heck trying to write these characters' personalities exactly like in the show, but it worked with smashing success. I could FEEL each of the characters and frankly, none of them felt off the mark. I can see Teduim getting impatient, angry and causing infighting...because he already did that, especially with Touya. I can see Beakwood suggesting this method of punishment because its not like he already knocked out Touya and technically kidnapped him to make him see that he needed to help out against the Darknoids. Garriel already butted heads with Teduim as well as punched him so tickling him to break his pride a bit is very likely already. The details of the tickling made me shiver, being quite gluttenous for that type of attention. This tickling must be unbearable for him.

All of this made for a wonderful picture and I'd love if this was an actual episode, just the Knights getting a much needed break from being attacked by Darknoids, or annoying Touya to tickle the crap out of Tedium all night. And a sequel episode too. I loved this picture from the first time I saw this, but know, with a better understanding of the source material, I can truly see how much love you and Venom poured into this and I give you both a standing ovation on just how lively this all is~ I love this work of art so much!

I loved how it looks like a scene from the anime

I wanna do that style of painting on the Colours on the 3DS, ( i believe itΒ΄s possible, since there are a lot of realistic paintings there)

nevertheless, outstanding picture

Thanks but the best I can offer you with an old pic like this is the obvious stuff. There are no real special techniques or lighting effects, just closely referencing the show, planning out were things should be from the start, sketch, ink, block colour, then a simple 2 tone shading on top.

It's a shame that Beast Warriors Gulkeeva isn't more well known, so it's really good to see a picture at last. Beakwood, Gariell, Greyfass and Tedium are looking great, you really did well with reproducing their looks from the series and bringing out their personalities via their expressions. Particularly impressive is the positioning, since it looks a rather complex tangle and you managed to show off everyone's feet. I really enjoyed reading the story you and Venombahamut produced to accompany this picture as well.

Hopefully this picture will have inspired some people to try out the anime or perhaps there will be some more art here or on FA in the future.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Foot-paws In reply to Lylithix [2012-05-12 23:16:19 +0000 UTC]

It is relatively old now (17 years old in fact) so I can understand why its managed go under the radar despite how good furrys are at sniffing out anything that's anthro related. It released in the golden years of anime with Akira and Ghost in the Shell also making an appearance, so unless it was top notch it probably wouldn't get too much attention.
Even so I fell in love the the aesthetics of each character the moment I saw it so it was only natural for me to give them a slot in my gallery. I have already seen a lot of people showing interest based on this pic and im sure there will be some more Gulkeeva related art floating around soon.
The positioning of everyone was definitely a big thing for this piece. Took me ages to figure out the best way to make it all work without looking awkward and showing not only the feet but the faces clearly as well.
Im glad you enjoyed the story also ^^

Foot-paws In reply to Knighthawk-7 [2012-05-07 02:32:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I think Beakwood (eagle) and Gariell (Gorilla) have some very distinguishable feet so the main issue would be to separate the similar colour schemes between Greyfuss (wolf) and Tedium (bear.
Fortunately Grefuss feet are clearly out of the way so they cant be confused with Tedium's however I can see how the mass if entangled limbs can be a little much on the eyes.

Venombahamut [2012-05-05 23:11:20 +0000 UTC]

I'mma put this here too, in case anyone can't fully comprehend the complete awesomeness of this pic:

You know that old problem, of how when you wait for something for a long time you end up creating an idealized version of it? And how the real deal can never truly compare to what you imagined, no matter how good it is?

... didn't happen! This is better than anything I had come up with.

They all look exactly like the series portrays them. I'd like to give special mention to Tedium's soles, for no reason other than the fact that I stared at them a lot. ^_^;

The positions are very creative. You managed to tangle four characters, give each a purpose and even show some eye-candy without making it all look like a mess. You made an extremely complex piece and it looks simple. Simply masterful.

Lastly, I never get tired of praising your facial expressions. Garriel's having the time of his life. Greyfass is calm but devilish. And who wold have thought Beakwood could look so sly? Tedium's in particular almost deserves it's own picture. Now THAT's what a person being tickle-tortured looks like!

I'd say "Another amazing drawing!" but this one stands above the others. You keep outdoing yourself like it was going out of style! I can't wait to see your art (yes, this is ART) in a few years.
