My contest entry for :iconx-memoire-x: 's Epic OC contest. I wanted to do a fight scene more than anything else since fight scenes are all I really know and do so I just whipped this bad boy up and did my best to keep any depictions of blood out of it.
:iconx-memoire-x: 's journal about the contest. Take a look if you're interested. :)  

After a long, hard battle between pro wrestler Rocky AKA The Russian Winter and heavyweight boxer Gill, Lord Tyrant's right hand man, Rocky finally proves that Russian wrestling is always number one! The fight lasted for hours but in the end, Gill failed to knock the Russian Winter out of the tournament and now he lies on the canvas, defeated in front of all those spectators at the feet of his enemy as Rocky tauntingly places his left foot on top of Gill's battered form.

I spent quite a few hours on this one, even more on Photoshop than on the paper, but I discovered a far easier, faster and more effective way of lighting and shading with the use of the Dodge and Burn tools.

I think my grasp on human anatomy really is improving. I barely had to reference anything for the bodies. (just for Rocky's head) 
I had originally planned to have Rocky holding up a championship belt but in the end I had to keep his arms down because of the lack of space on the page.

And also, here's the original Rocky. One of the reasons I wanted to redraw him was because I looked back at it and realized how terrible it looks. roadkill-sarny.deviantart.com/…
This is easily the best image I've done so far so if anyone can give me a critique, I'd be very grateful.
