This is Carrie after a good hard ride around her favorite backcountry trails. A little mud never hurt anyone right Oh, yes, and she is wearing clothing, but ya'd never know it with how muddy she is. Head to toe! Anybody want to go for a ride???
This little piece was done by Chica after I mentioned my RL muddy riding fun. I really should just paint my bikes brown, then they'd always look perfectly clean

If you've thought ahead, (the rider) and geared for it right, ankle deep is totally doable, if the muck you're cruising through is fairly sloppy-like. Though if its consistency is more thick and gluey, that becomes a challenge. Not on so on a single speed BMX though. The BMX type bike just can't manage, as there's no 'easy' gear for muscling through the stuff. If my peddles start kissing the mud, then its pretty much over unless I'm in an easy gear, and going good speed. So many variables there. Ya come at it too fast and hit the mud, say coming down a hill/jump/ramp and its a thicker consistency, you can go from high speed to almost stopping in a few feet, which you can imagine the results 'SPLAT!' softer slop ya might get through, it does slow you down, ruin your traction and can cause you to slip up.
Generally I could get through. If the muck is eating my feet with every push, its time to consider defeat. Cause then its not just about the gearing, but about your feet getting bogged down in the mud.
Another factor which also depends on the thickness of the muck, is your brakes, Disk, or Pads? Disk brakes are more centered in the wheel and thus have less chance of catching gunk in the works, pad brakes can bog down real quick if the mud slops on the tire too thick and can literally stop you in your tracks with thick muck adhered to your tire and catching on the brakes even without your pulling the handle.
I can really see why your image would be so complicated. Splattering mud at speed is an interesting mass as it splashes in a treaded V pattern, and also forward and outward depending on how you hit the stuff. It would be an interesting radial splash depending on its consistency.
I had an incident one time that I was riding on a trail that I hadn't ridden before. It was a marshy trail and I overshot a corner by a little too much speed, and instead of hitting the corner banking I went over that edge and down. My falling arc put me right into a very soft place which yielded well into my hubs and totally immobilized me in an instant. My forward momentum, pushed the front wheel suddenly deeper in the muck than the initial impact did, and I was rapidly off my bike and into some roughly knee deep mire. I pretty much was covered head to toe from that instant. I was thankful for the soft landing, and annoyed with the fact that I really hadn't come prepared for getting quite so dirty. Not that I usually mind getting so, but I really was not wearing something that I wanted to muddy up. (to that extreme) Sure, I expect a little bit of a rooster tail, but a full coverage job was not what I was prepared for. Broke nothing but my pride that day, and de-brightly-colored a good bright and colorful shirt. Never did get the muck stains out of that one :( It was a little bit awkward of a ride back home though, wet, oh so wet and messy, and the looks I got were quite priceless. ;)
