Digital art of a closeup on Itami's face - a green komodo dragon anthro, lying with his face squashed beneath a brown boot, mouth parted, drooling, bleeding, mouthguard discarded.
Did I ever post this? Not sure!
Professor Graw has had enough of Itami and teaches the green lizard a lesson! 👢
For @knockoutlizard.bsky.social #art #modernau #graw
Digital art featuring three characters in a wrestling match: Taric, a dark brown bugbear in sky blue pants; Graw, an amber brown bugbear in red gloves and tights; and Euka, a gray koala bear in black briefs. Following the original attack, Euka dangles from Graw's headlock, expression dazed and silly while Graw smiles. But Graw looms Taric, face darkened, holding up a steel chair over his head, ready to swing! The abstract silhouette of a crowd cheers in the background, peppered with camera flashes.
Revenge for @bugbearormiss.bsky.social! Time for the bugbear v bugbear main event! 🙌 #art #graw #modernau
Digital art featuring a VS-screen style faceoff between Graw, a bugbear in red boxing gear, and Grant, dark golden lizard in purple boxing gear. They raise their gloves, both smiling.
Revenge for Beausquamata -- square up! 🥊

Chibi digital art of Graw, a gold-brown furred bugbear in golden briefs over red tights, decorated with golden lightning motifs. He also wears red gloves and brown boots. He squares up with the viewer, looking a little uncertain.
Square up! It's bugbear time!

Digital art of a lion anthro and bugbear at the end of a wrestling match. The bugbear, Graw, clad in crimson and gold tights and gloves themed around lightning, is on his knees, angled back with his head in a dragon sleeper. The lion, Lee, kneels on one knee and shouts triumphantly with a fist raised as he holds Graw there. The background is gradient-colored, toned text of "Lee!" repeating.
It's over—the lion has brought the bugbear to his knees, and the crowd chants Lee's name!

Digital drawing of Vauruk the anthro bat, clad in white shorts and gloves, and Graw the bugbear, clad in a lightning-themed wrestling combo of red and gold. Graw attacks with a left hook but Vauruk flies right over his head, currently upside down as he grins down at the bugbear.
Vauruk and Graw meet in the ring—the bat's too quick! He's flying circles around the bugbear!

Digital art featuring Graw, the bugbear. He is clad in a suit of light silver plate armor, segmented for mobility and adorned with ornate etchings of lightning. In his left hand he bears a shield, faced away from us; his right hand is held in a gauntleted fist, arcing brightly with blue streaks of lightning.
Armored #Graw is a different beast! The armor is a product of his own artificing and offers great defense and offense—the gauntlet channels lightning magic to deliver one thunderous wallop. I don't envy anyone who has to get through this nigh eight feet of steel and muscle!

Digital art featuring Graw, a tall and fuzzy bugbear wrestler. His outfit is largely crimson and gold, featuring themes of lightning: he wears red fingerless gloves with golden trim and gold lightning bolts on the back of the palms; he also wears red elbow wraps. He wears glossy crimson tights with gold lightning arcing down the outside of the legs; above this he wears golden trunks with a plated belt. Rounding out the ensemble are a pair of tall, brown laced boots. Graw stands with his arms drawn close to his chest. He leans to the side to peer down at himself, ears low, expression a mixture of embarrassment and concern.
"Do I really have to wear this?"
The poor bugbear, offered a wrestling gig in a big city, is a little bashful about the costume designed for him!
Wonderful art by @theatimos.bsky.social

A sketchpage featuring three sketches of the bugbear wrestler Graw, clad in crimson and gold tights with brown boots and crimson gloves and elbow wraps. In the first sketch he stands squared up with the viewer, trying to look stern but trembling a little. In the second sketch he kneels on one knee, lifting a massive barbell over his head, roaring a great RAAAAH! in the background. In the third sketch he lies on his back, lightly bruised from a fight; stars circle around his head and he holds his forehead with one hand.
Big man Graw is getting READY!
...Needs to get ready some more, looks like. 😔

Digital art scene featuring Itami, a green komodo dragon anthro clad in black and purple wrestling gear with themes of poison; and Graw, a bugbear clad in wrestling gear of glossy red and gold with themes of lightning. In the lit circle of a spotlight, Itami straddles Graw, rearing back a punch while Graw tries to raise his arms to protect himself. Both characters are lightly bruised and bleeding.
ArtFight 2024 attack on @knockoutlizard.bsky.social, featuring his Itami putting the hurt on Graw. The bugbear may be a giant, but his technique remains somewhat lacking!

A digital artist depicting a lineup of four characters in a wrestling ring, illuminated by bright lights in the background. On the left stands Graw, a tall and bulky bugbear sporting a shiny pair of red and gold tights, gloves, and elbow wraps with lightning motifs, completed by a pair of laced brown boots. He raises a fist in the air with a smile, looking off into the crowd. Next stands Vauruk, a gray-furred anthro bat clad in fitted white shorts and gloves with black crown motifs, accompanied by an actual gold crown on his head. He flexes one arm while pointing at the camera with the other, a confident smirk on his face. Third stands Graeqirr, a blue anthro falcon clad in a blue singlet with white stripes along with gloves, kneepads, and spats of blue, black, and white. He waves to the crowd, smiling. Fourth stands Carnelian, a orange and brown anthro house finch clad in black briefs, gloves, knee and shin guards, mask, and hat. He leans on Grae's shoulder with an elbow and points to himself with a thumb.

#Graw - powerhouse but too gentle :(
#Vauruk - the fiery scrapper he always is
#Grae - a crowd favorite, a hero
#Carnelian - local bad boy villain
Might need to add my dragon to the gang sometime 🤔
A reference sheet of a bugbear OC named Professor Graw Leffeley. Standing at 234 cm or 7'8", he is a hulk covered in fur of umber upon a base of goldenrod. He sports pointed ears and a large mane and full beard. In one depiction he wears scholar's garb: a purple cloak above a white shirt and dark boots, pants, and cravat. Here he wars spectacles and his beard is braided into a single braid. In the second depiction he is clad in a full suit of platinum silver, segmented for mobility and ornately designed with motifs of dragons and lightning. The suit is entirely metal except for a crimson red loincloth. In one hand he yields a shield; the other he lifts into a fist, crackling with lightning magic. In the third depiction, the bugbear wears only a short roman skirt, pteruges embroidered with elegant designs. He bares his chest and roars, arms raised into fists.
Clad in the suit of armor from the reference sheet, Graw kneels on one knee, supporting himself with his right fist. His left hand surges with lightning magic, light glancing brilliantly from his armor in contrast with a black background. His expression is intense, tusks and teeth bared. His light yellow eyes glow in the darkness.
Clad in the armor from the reference, Graw is depicted in a cool combat pose from a low angle perspective. He slams his left foot down, planting himself in a wide stance; his right gauntlet surges with lightning while he faces an unseen opponent in front of him with a growl and a raised arm.
A sketchpage of Graws. The first sketch of his wild era: he crouches low, dressed in scraps serving as a loincloth and pauldron. He wields a club, growling. In another sketch, he is dressed in a plain white shirt, and inspects a ruby through a magnifying lens. In another sketch, Graw is dressed in his scholarly clothes, holding a red book and giving a thumbs up, beaming. A final sketch shows an early concept of the armor from his reference.
Another of my mainstays, Professor #Graw Leffeley! A gentle bugbear artificer, formerly wild and turned sentient by the discovery of a magical gem in a dragon's hoard.
