Ring-building day.

The other ring was inspired by the one used in the Tyson/Jones "fight" over the weekend. (No, I did not waste the money you all pay me to watch it. I just caught the highlights:)

(Figures lit by a bright direct light against a dark background is kind of a natural fit for a boxing match.) The top image was inspired by this one:

Late to the party, as usual. Sorry. Reading the post title made me wonder. Is this the One Ring?

Yeah the last image could use a lot of improvement, but I like how you like experimenting on new things, it’s a good start! P.s. if someone’s knocked down on sand, shouldn’t what sticks looks like sand instead of dirt?
