...St. George declares a thumb war.

So when  Jimperator suggested using the epic duel between St. George and the dragon for another try at coat of arms humor, this is what came to mind. Yeah, it's a stretch, I know ;p Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!

I sketched this out at a friend's house while waiting for the rest of our RPG group to arrive, and though they were pretty skeptical about the subject matter, two were kind enough to pose for the thumb wrestle. If the arms look a little weird, it's because I had to force the perspective a bit to fit it all in the shield. I had no net access there so I wung the faces without references, and while George came out great (my best human male face to date imho, woohoo!), the dragon looked really familiar. When I got home I realized why: somehow I'd subliminally drawn Charizard. No idea how it happened - the only time I've played pokemon has been in Smash Bros.! But with a bumpier face and narrower eyes, the dragon's looking much more menacing now.

That'll have to do it for crest-related drawings for the time being. I've still got that big project to work on, and it'll spare you all having to groan at more of my geeky attempts at humor! And, of course, sorry to any Russians/Lithuanians/Georgians I've offended with this blasphemy!
