"The Trouble with Squid" or "The Squid Control Guild"

Mixed Media (Pencil and Digital) - This piece gives you a window into a day in the life of the members of an elite group of pest control wizards called the "The Squid Control Guild." As you probably already know, giant, wayward squid can often present difficulties when it comes to windmills, airship ports, railway bridges and elevated tracks, wizard towers and observatories. During squid season, the problem is especially acute - with squids mucking up the works so badly that they cause serious delays in air-traffic. The Squid Control Guild has several methods and techniques for extricating the squid from whatever they have gotten attached to, all of which strive to avoid killing the beasts - less for humanitarian reasons, and more for keeping the streets squid-guts free.... of course. Lately, the authorities of Gateway have limited the amount of magical techniques and items the guild is allowed to use (the paperwork for getting authorization is so time-consuming that it is only really sought with particularly tricky jobs - like the time a 6 ton cuttlefish got stuck in the sewer pipe sluice-gate), so usually they have had to rely on the old stand-by: poking them with long sticks.... it's crude, but it still works... most of the time.
