Basically, it's a gladiator who's been defeated and is on his hands and knees, cuts, bruises, and all that good stuff in spades. All right, here's the question: What beat him? Is it a critter? If so, which one? Another gladiator? Which race? What was it that beat this gladiator? What, I ask?! Let's hear it. I guess I could always just go with a partial picture and let the viewer fill in whatever they want. Just a thought.

Is it for a particular setting or place i.e: different city= different opponent; like Jaguars in ?? 3--- In the example of the half-giant gladiator, there may be more then one oponent(some may be dead in the background etc.) 4--- lets say its a Mul gladiator and that it's a human who has the upper hand.... I dont think the human would still be in full shape; he could even be mortaly wounded imself thus he knows he will die but not before killing his nemesis and gaining the ovation of the crowd I think you get the idea .... tell us more.

I have drawn nothing but the figure. I just want to get everyone's imaginations working: if it was you in the arena, what would be standing over you? If you say Sitak or Renk...

Litered about both combatants are other gladiators. A royal rumble nears its fateful end. The B'rogue thinks it has won. Unknown to it, the human is reaching deep inside, His will is strong and with a strong will there is always a way. Animal Infinity not once but twice- Strength and Constition. Unseen by the giant-kin is the hand reaching for a downed foe's club...maybe a Datchi club with his own blood on it. The B'roge rises its three working arms and..... good enuff?

For this I would say it needs to be something intelligent. An animal doesn't supply the emotion, and doesn't fit the stance I imagine of the first figure. In addition to being down from his injuries, there seems to be a feeling of bowing because he is beaten. You don't bow to a tigone or tembo or sloth.
