"Welcome to the game show where everybody is a winner, but especially you viewers back home! Let's meet today's contestants..."

Whether by choice or circumstance, Kyle once again has a visitor in his dreams, and this time Velve has opted to bring more than just himself into the mix. He's brought an entire studio audience! Oh, and a wall of Kyle's favorite birdie feet. Those are there too.
Deviously, Velve puts Kyle through various games where the dragon has no choice but to be teased as much as he can stand. At the moment, he's being forced to openly call out his favorite feet with some truly ticklish consequences! It's clearly something that he enjoys, even if he's a little embarrassed about the prospect, but the inclusion of an audience ratchets up that embarrassment to crazy levels. Of course, he knows that, if he doesn't choose, Velve will somehow make things even worse...
Good thing it's all just a dream... Right?


This was the picture that won the last poll that you all voted in. Good choice, everybody!

I had a lot of fun working on this on stream and interacting with folks :) I also just enjoyed playing with variety of colors that this picture offered thanks to the different feet and feathers. Plus, the premise was just enjoyable to play with.
As an additional anecdote to share... I drew the sketch of this while I was with Kyle in one of his hospital visits last year. Almost around this time, in fact. I almost never draw tickle art out in public but, since it was just the two of us and one nurse who checked in occasionally, I figured it would be okay. At that point, Kyle wasn't even concerned about the nurse seeing what I was drawing, but I still habitually flipped over my sketchpad whenever they walked in to the room :P Kyle was always a huge fan of game shows, so this premise was fun to him on multiple levels. It never occurred to me that I would go back and finish it up like this, since it was really just supposed to be a cute little doodle to perk him up.
It was actually really nice to go back down memory lane like that while working on this picture, even if only internally.

Thanks again for everybody who asked me to work on this! I'll have to run another picture poll sooner rather than later since people seemed to really enjoy it ;) Please let me know your thoughts on that too!

Also, let me know if you can guess the identities of the birdie feet up there ;) Here's a hint: two of the characters are mine and one is Kyle's!
