Description Your young character has met up with some particularly annoying Grandesque youths intent on harassing you. Try to fight them off (you might even get some cool scars) and escape; then go and tell the Queen himself of your exploits.

He didn't know quite how this had happened. One minute he was scarfing down meat from a kill he had made with a few of his fellow Skrekrills, and the next, there was utter chaos- a storm of Grandesque gryphons had descended upon them in an instant. To his frustration, a pair of owl gryphs teamed up on him, hissing and growling as they clawed at his eyes and throat with their vicious talons. But two could play at that, and he was a Skrekrill, he could hold them off! As the tiger striped one seized one foreleg in a vice grip, he screamed a battle cry and swiped with the other, trying to gouge eyes out. Just then, though, a dark shadow passed over them- Adoerak, coming in to lend aid, and Bellicose from another angle. Though the latter was distracted by yet another Grandesque, Briggen's attackers realized the odds weren't in their favor and backed off. Wounded, Briggen glanced around to see the fights breaking off as each aery began flocking in the directions of their respective home. Wincing against the pain of the slashes hidden by his breast feathers, he took to wing as well, ashamed that he hadn't triumphed, but also filled with the thrill of battle for the first time. He would report to the Queen when they arrived home; Maud would surely want to hear every detail of the fight.

It's the same battle Ciameth illustrated some time back. I figure big skirmishes like that don' happen every day, and I might as well piggyback Briggen on Kiya. Hope nobody minds!

Tiberius (front) belongs to
Aren (left) belongs to
And Briggen (right) belongs to me!

Oh my gosh, this looks absolutely fantastic! What a great action scene, though I feel bad for poor Briggen, taking on those two ridiculous monster trucks of gryphons. XD
I seriously cannot get over how great you made Aren look. That's....that's better than how I draw him. I'm kind of ashamed. Those feet! so excellent!
CLEARLY I need to get active in the group again and step up my game.

Thanks! Yeah, poor Briggen didn't stand a chance... but he still feels like a constant failure because he can't defeat a MERE pair of -ick- Grandesques. And it is NOT better than you draw him, we just draw him in different styles. ^^

You shoullldddddddd~ I love Windsonde art so much.

wow love all the texturing and colours, they look so natural! Arens feet look so fluffy and ace too

Briggen's getting to like fighting! Good for him I'm sure he'll score a victory soon!

Thank you Yeah, he likes it, but he just isn't cut out for it. XD He's not on the larger side, and his eyes are too sensitive to be much good in daytime fights. Poor fellow. At least he'd be a good spy

I really enjoyed reading the story behind the picture. I love the markings on the tiger-striped one.

Oooh, awesome! It's neat to see this illustrated from another perspective. I don't envy Briggen for having to tangle with the mighty Tib & Aren duo, but he held his ground! And then he's hard on himself for not managing to vanquish both of them. Oh Briggen.

Also, I love how his feet look.

Yeah, he never really stood a chance against their majestic manliness. And with the way he regards life, he really is doomed to fail.

Thank you, my favorite part is Briggen's right foot. Them toes. I love owls.

Oh my gosh this is so great! The fur/feather textures on them all are excellent, especially on Aren - the stripe pattern looks ridiculously natural and flowy. Furthermore, I am kind of in love with the way you draw owl eyes and owl feet. Those are excellent. Teach me your ways, Supaslim. Teach them to me.

Tib and Aren are SUCH THUGS. LOOK AT THEM GO.

Glad you like it! I kind of hijacked your character, after all. XD And thanks! I'm glad to hear that my hours of poking at parrot feet paid off (minus the fuzzies, they are very similar to owl feet). XD In all seriousness, I don't know if it's something I can sufficiently teach or I would. *not the best instructor*

THEY ARE. This is, like, their shining moment.

Oh man! Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look up parrot feet! I never really thought about the similarities.
thug lyfe. It's tough in the streets.
