Amtril in his years of need when he had to trade his wonderful art for just a few coins in random taverns to make a living.

People in the taverns of course did not know the real price of his skills, still the ways in which he could bend his body became a quite popular sight but he quite soon figured that people kind of greedy and sometimes wouldn't give him anything even if they were watching with their eyes wide open. Sometimes they shared drinks with him and he liked mead but also wish he could get some coins too...

So eventually he came up with the idea for a little game: if you pay him a few coins, you could stretch him as you like. At first most people were kind of shy but eventually almost everyone ended up giving him a good stretch at least once. So not only he got people more interested and involved, but also had some awesome stretching practice every evening :3

But he didn't expect that so many people would get addicted to it and would pay him again and again every evening. At the same time his contortion shows also started getting more well-paid, probably because while bending him people learned more about contortion and learned to appreciate it.

Of course he was widely known as a weirdo for his contortions, but it's only because most good people wouldn't want to admit they actually enjoyed to look at oddities like this ^^

Great picture, I love the expression on Amtril's face, and his hand reaching up on the stretchers shoulder is a nice touch. Great story, and Amtril looks awesome in this, I would gladly pay to help give him a good stretch. ;)

Fascinating...
And I bet he'd be a "supple beggar" turned the other way around, too... ;)

I love a lot this illustration ! This is probably my favourite of your latest submissions. Maybe because Amtril makes me think a lot of my little Aorev. ^-^

The text is very interesting. I'm always happy to learn more about your charismatic and appealing characters. Also, I like Amtril a lot. He is so cute on this illustration and I have to admit I really really love this pose ! :heart:

That is a quite good idea he found to earn some coins. And like this he can also have a free training. ^-^ Very nice idea and beautiful illustration ! I really love Amtril's face and body !

Yup yup, I always thought Amtril and Aorev are like twins, except of course their physical size XD Amtril is sized like a regular human, but other than that they're both elves and both have very similar features for some reason XD That always surprised me a lot! And I'm very happy you like Amtril so much! I do love Aorev just as much, I must confess ^-^

And I'm very happy to know you liked this position, for this drawing I really wanted to show that the back sides of his knees are almost touching the table's surface, my idea was that when Amtril himself grows up he will teach this exact pose to his own pupils: [link] so I wanted to draw Amtril himself in the same pose as he learned it when he was himself young X3
