Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.
The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.
The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.
I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.

The sketch died when I converted to .png ;..;
I have to keep this small, I'm going to upload it to photobucket and, like, well...it's going to be a sidebar so it can't take a year to load xD

Is this the end for Strop!? How come I'm still here!?
Bahahaha, I'm not going to make any attempt to alleviate your suspense!
Cue flashback while Strop is...gasp...dying!?!?!?!?!?
Unfortunately this is all I've got at the moment as I'm currently working on commissions, long overdue birthday presents and the MWT. Thus ends Chapter One of the Story of Strop! What could he possibly be remembering now!?
Stay tuned, for I will surely recount the epic legend page by page.
Phew, right, here I am with my ten minutes of internet before I go...off again.
The next few posts will be dedicated to the 2nd round of the Mixed World Tournament- I'm already late as is so I'll get these pages done as soon as I can.
I'll repost the first two pages in order, just as a refresher:

Page 2
I so desperately want to discuss the technique and the compositional theory I'm putting in practice here but I simply don't have the time, so I'll do it later or something.

By this point I was dropping the quality a little but not enough to cut my working time by more than half.

Ahem, yes. I couldn't help it. Excuse me while I go ban myself now.
On a separate note, the bottom-right frame is probably my favorite of this chapter thus far.

Not my best page, I messed up the composition slightly in the middle section.
And now we're finally up to the action!
