I haven't done a large-scale high detail turkey pic in a few years and decided it is time.
I have never done a pic of a group of gobblers kicking each other's butt in a woods at the edge of a field. Gonna put a shagbark on the right side and maybe a squirrel watching the show.
As you can see by the extra wings on the top gobbler, I have already repositioned the top bird a little closer to the fight.
"The SMACKDOWN!"
Stay tuned and if you feel like you need to fire off a gobble, go for it! :)

Oh well I guess I just need to keep practicing,maybe if I switched hands.

Very impressive as usual!!
Very Nice Wess! I'll keep watching for the finished project.
I've not drawn anything in a long time. I did buy a set of Prismacolor colored pencils a month ago. Other than scribbling some color to see what they looked like, I've not done anything with them. I've been trying to motivate myself to do a rooster pheasant or two for a gift but can't seem to get going.
Have you worked with colored pencil any?
Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words.

Stunning work by the way.
