Trifle and Train

Ööööööösdgfl. My feelings exactly. Don't mind the title, it may still change. (And don't worry, it's absolutely ok for Dale to tackle some dwarves - they anyway thought about killing him in the first place when they found him laying unconscious in a nearby forest.)

Hoooookay. I was supposed to enter "The Will to be Badass" contest but strickly speaking THIS BLOODY WORK ISN'T STILL FINISHED. *headdesk* There's still some things I want to polish till the end (like the background and I also want to mess around with some textures) but as the already-extended deadline is today (or yesterday... which is still today in the US or... yeah...) this will have to do for now. Feel free to throw me with any suggestions what to do with this if you have any.

I'm going to add a better description here some other time (it's 4a.m. and I have school tomor- wait, TODAY, AHAHAHAHA! Yes, I'm tired!). But shortly: The theme of the contest was to have a character training etc. but it shouldn't have been a true combat. My explanation for it how to know this isn't a real combat is that there would have been A LOT MORE of sharp and pointy things and epic lightningbolts in the picture if these two would really want to finish each other off. And Markhil (the dwarf) wouldn't be stupid enough to turn his back on Dale in any case then. Lets say Dale probably mocked Markhil (once again) and Markhil wanted to see if he finally could get the long-ears flying through the hall with a nice fiery punch in the face - it's really just quite hard for him since Dale's nearly twice as tall as he is. The two of them rather likely will take that as a practise.

Okay, I've blabbered enough. Need some sleep. *snore*
