Description For the Skeggas on the beach - Training event + Beach race

Featuring 
EDS Taraxacum ridden by Drude Kvæde

They made it! Weeks of training had been poured into practicing the Skeggas gait, and here they were, racing down the line against Andy and Sagadir. In the background Drude could hear Matti cheering her on, while at the same time sounding like he was trying hard to strangle himself with laughter. Drude knew perfectly well the reason for his mood. It was the same reason Taraxacum was fuming with indignity; Sagadir had absolutely no idea what he was doing. In the beginning he had done something resembling Skeggas, but as soon as Taraxacum and Drude overtook them, Sagadir apparently thought "screw it all" and went into a gallop. At the same time he obviously tried to strut it off, looking very pleased with himself. Andy was laughing too, especially when Matti shouted "I guess I'm not the one fetching the beers Andy!". In the end, Sagadir ended up first, but Annie disqualified him pretty quickly and declared Taraxacum the winner. Taraxacum snorted as if to say "see, that's what you get for such mulish behaviour!"


I was so late with this! The sketch has been lying around for weeks and I couldn't get my lazy behind around to cleaning and coloring it. So of course it is made the evening before...   I totally messed Taraxacum's markings too.
Ah well, it was fun, and here you go Zoub, Andy gets his behind whopped in Skeggas race

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I feel awful for only seeing this now (KBU slapped me big time these first few days, hehe). But the outcome is fantastic; so much life and character in everyone
The story made me crack up -- the description of Sagadir's, ehm... contortions was just spot on, hahaha. I'm sure Andy will HAPPILY fetch the beers after this. I mean... any excuse for beer, right? Good thing he's not a sore loser x)
Tarax has such a look of serious business going on; that determined face..! And Drude looks elegant and regal; like a true winner

Really awesome work! I love it to bits - Andy may try out for a re-match sometime, hehehe x)

thank you so much  
I had the story playing in my head when drawing it, so the events kinda out folded in to my inner eye while drawing. It made it difficult to find the correct facial expressions, because I mentally went through several during the drawing and kept switching them  

I am SO happy you like it! I was totally not proud because I only managed to do a simple background and no shading, but now I like it much better, because the story and feeling came true
