As Og'rialt washes out his mouth with his fifth cup of Dwarven Ale, he directs his thoughts in the direction of his beard. "Well done, Lucy! That was about as unpleasant as I was expecting, but the last year of training amply prepared me for it. Now if only my old friend Beldarion got my message, we might finally get to the heart of the matter here. Meanwhile, let's sit back, and enjoy the show!"

Drat, I was looking forward to reading an exchange at least. Oh well, I probably should have put more work into making him anyway.
Day 8 fights added:

The bartender gets happier by the day: new customers continue to magically pop in every day!

That partnership he signed with the shady hooded figure was finally starting to pay off. Maybe if he had managed to negotiate a lower referral fee for each new client, profits could already be higher... the drinks and the power to the jukebox are expensive, after all. But the figure was scary (and after seeing what it did to that poor dwarf's nose, or to be more precise, WHERE it did to the dwarf's nose, the bartender was glad he didn't argue)!

Oh well. At least the clientele is nice and cheerful, and business is good.

Until he realizes that trading all future profits from the bar for the next 5 years for Yorzmart's lottery ticket that won a year ago wasn't such a great idea.

Doc0075: Shroomy releases his spores desperate to stay alive. The fat little louse ignores these and continues to tuck into her delicious meal, inviting some nearby caterpillars to join in.
That savage little Lucy, summoning her caterpillar homies to join the kill. Made me laugh! :D

BenKii: Not quite what I expected Ben K'Neill to look like but at least its got some artistic quality to it. Radaggarb however looks exactly as I imaged a pile of smelly trash in human form would look like. Well done.
You are absolutely right about Radaggarb! I can practically smell him just by looking at that portrait. xD

By the way, when you said that Ben K'Neill did not look like you expected, you made me realize something that I need to get off my chest. I'm addressing everyone here and not you specifically. ;) When I first thought of this idea to provide colorful portraits of all the fighters, I was solely motivated by fun. :) My intention was never to dictate or impose my vision of what the fighters should look like: only those who created their characters truly know what their fighters look like!! So I asked myself, how can I contribute portraits without offending anyone's feelings? My solution: I created Bethany, the necrophage artist and deliberately made her blind as a bat! :P With eyes ripped out of her sockets, she can never truly know what the fighters actually look like. All of her portraits are inaccurate depictions. Nothing but vague interpretations. In essence, she paints what she smells and what she feels and what she tastes and what she hears (hence, Ben K'Neill's loud mouth in the portrait, LOL!).

I just wanted to make this clear to everyone here (yes, I've got insecurities). I felt it was very important to mention, but without derailing this thread any further. ;)


Edit: I added a disclaimer link to all of my previous posts, just to make sure everybody reads this important message. ;)

Nice workaround, actually, and shows you put thought in it from the start.
Can list them as "artist's impression of ...", like you see in astronomy articles for example, like for exoplanets, if you want the "disclaimer" even clearer.

You know what, that's actually quite creative and makes a lot of sense. It makes the portraits a better fit within the theme of your character. Can't wait to see what you (I mean Bethany) draws up next. :)

That's a clever solution, l love that concept. :)

I just want to say that your portraits rock, I mean...Bethany's, I hope she can do all the contestants, although it's certainly a titanic feat!

krugos2: I added the text to the end of day 6, also made sure to add it in a way that I could give you credit (also edited the previous text before the day 6 fights for the same reason). Loved the new portraits!, can't wait to see more! :)
avatar
matterbandit: I really like your website: easy to navigate and very clean presentation. :) I appreciate you giving me credit, but to be honest, it's not something that's important to me. ;) I'm feeling a bit of the heat right now... Going to try to do some serious catching up with the portraits this weekend! xD
Nice portraits. Any that you can do will be apreciated.

Indeed. It brings to mind Sufjan Stevens's claim that he was going to do one album for each state in the US. But Bethany might actually succeed! :)

Gerald, NOOOoooOOOooo!! We trained so hard for a year and a half! What happened?! Did you not get enough SupaBoostas? I'm not angry, I'm disappointed, Gerald. The higher ups will not be pleased.

matterbandit: Bethany stood seamlessly between the Present and the Past.

With empty eye sockets, she faced the present-day battles of Day 6. Her nostrils picked up the musky scent of an aged encyclopedia. Her ears perked at the gargling sound of a throat being slit. Her mouth relished in the juices of crunchy locusts.

And yet, while Bethany devoured the now, her hands and the paint brushes they clutched, were reconstructing the Past: the remainder of the brave souls of the battles of Day 2...

Edit: LOL! I did not yet read Day 7 when I composed this text. Sorry about the lag!
Lady Mindy and me thank you. You are an artist
