I have a sketch of my character posed as Phoenix Wright and yelling "Objection!" although I'm saving it for when someone posts something in a thread that is completely wrong or irrelevant.

Just for you, then, Strop. ^Placeholder until I bother scanning it. You seem to be harder on yourself than other people Cen Not my fault no one else wants to uphold such gentlemanly practices, is it. Anyway, isn't this an art thread? More art people! Or talk through art or something. The irony of that post, in between two pictures, after several pages of art discussion. And the post includes no art nor art discussion. I'd post but right now I'm too lazy to go figure out what the rules are. They pretty much come down to "draw something that fits the theme, for the theme, in time of the theme."

It would be really funny if you had tried to submit that to this round of the competition, because it would have been completely irrelevant to the theme at hand haha. This said, I'd like to remind people of the aim of the contest (at least as I saw it): like in Iron Chef, the winner is the person who best articulates the theme, which means that it's one thing to draw a subject, but the secret to success lies in the portrayal. You'll see in my commentary that I will focus mainly on whether/how much your submission evokes a sense of greatness or "greatest". Okay cool, carry on then!

A farewell to a great employee with some great games (and the very recognizable elephant). And of course I think Strop is a real presence on the forums and they wouldn't be as great without him (and I merged him with Gollum).
