This is my contest entry for  Microphone's contest. Good luck to the other entrants!

I have put a lot of effort into this piece over the last four days in-between when I had to go to work at my part time job and I am extremely proud of this. I personally think that this is my best piece to date.

Mikhail is probably one of my favourite characters, in this form and in his human form. Of the characters I've made, he probably falls into my top five favourites. <3 How he got caught in this situation fighting Cobalt, I still have no idea. I'll leave it up to you to imagine, I suppose. My sister suggested off the top of her head (and partially jokingly) that, Mikhail being a police officer, had to go rescue some lost children in the woods. Some of the kids' tracks trailed into a cave and led him straight to Cobalt who lives deep in the cavernous depths of the cave, who may or may not have eaten the children. ¦D
