Friendship FTW

This cute sketch was drawn around New Years to commemorate the victory of a friend's OC in the first round of the DreamKeepers OC Tournament. What I found to be interesting about the battle entries for this match was that the winning OC, Lenox Skali, befriended his opponent through a nice, shopping experience at his workplace. This was in part due to the character, apparently, being a pacifist. Despite this, I still respect and admire the battle description of the other OC, Sirhc, who helped contribute to a fun and awesome confrontation. As a side note, I saw this as good practice for me, being this was the first character sketch that I had done after a long while. But I also took this as an opportunity to go further in that I not only incorporated two character bodies in one shot but also, most importantly...

SHAKING HANDS!!

Luckily, this didn't prove to be that big of a challenge and overall I feel the sketch came out just fine. I understand any criticism coming my way about the appearances of the OCs in comparison to the creator's original concepts. Please know that these are simply my first, drawn-out interpretations of the contestants, based on any refs or descriptions I had seen on them at the time.

While I currently can't pin down the creator of Sirhc (Right), Lenox Skali (Left) belongs to and Dreamkeepers belongs to
