A muscular bearded dwarf with a battle axe confronts a reptilian monster with a bone club and shield in shallow water, fantasy art.

The image depicts an intense battle between two characters standing in water, each ready to fight. On the left side, there is a muscular, bearded dwarf-like character holding a large battle axe. His long hair and beard flow as he stands firmly in the water. The dwarf has a determined expression on his face as he grips his axe, prepared for combat. He is wearing simple, rugged armor and a belt with a pouch, suggesting he is a warrior of some kind. The water around him splashes as he is ready to swing his axe at his opponent. On the right side of the image, the antagonist is a fierce, reptilian humanoid creature. It stands upright and has a muscular build. The creature’s skin is rough and spotted, and its head is large with sharp teeth, adding to its threatening appearance. It holds a bone club in one hand, ready to strike, and appears to be charging toward the dwarf, standing in the same water. In the other hand, it holds a shield, which looks to be the former shell of a large turtle. The creature’s posture is aggressive, and it looks as if it's preparing to swing its club. Its tail creates ripples in the water. It's wearing a ragged leather speedo, with a frayed rope tied together at the front for a belt, as well as loose leather straps wrapped around its forearms and shins. Both figures are immersed in shallow water, which is depicted with ripples around their feet, giving a sense of movement and tension. The line art uses shading and cross-hatching to enhance the textures See more
