Rufius Raccoon was one of the early members of the Critter Mafia. As a gladiator, he battled for territorial rights for neighborhood garbage.

(a story series I have been developing). #artistryinkchallenge2026 prompt GLADIATOR hosted by @artistryink_challenge and @silvana_blackink_art #artistryinkchallengegladiator #inkandwatercolor #kidlit #kidlitartist #kidlitauthor #artistryinkchallenge #artistryinkchallengeapril2026
