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.

and another in-joke because I'm usually the one who gets his glasses stolen when people want to try them on -_-;

I know the feeling.. On the other hand I have a habit taking off the glasses or have them sitting on my head and all that, because my eyes get tired:P


*Gets worried* I have like 20:17 vision, but also astigmatism and chronic migraines from eyestrain, so I'm going to have to get glasses! I hope no one steals them and wears them D:

its funny I actually have 20:20 vision according to my eye doctor,but I am still near sighted so I am stuck with my thick pieces of plastic attached to metal,nylon,and more plastic.I used to have people take mine to try them on,but they always get headaches whenever they try them on now,so it kind of stopped over the last couple of years.Interesting story so far though.

Strop, this is a rough outline if you wanna use this....

When I was reading, I saw fan art, and there is no more.... But now there is!

Yes, I try to rely as little on fancy add-ons, filters and effects as possible.

Budding? Draw lots with anything you can get your hands on.

Tips for budding rap artists? Well! I do keep up with the entries from that rap thread whenever it gets revived, so I'm going to issue this challenge:

What? You're all over the place,
What's the haste, why waste your-
Chance to enhance the flow, make it last,
Before the moment's past, meanwhile your opponent's,
Blasted style over your prose components, exposed,
Now you're hosed, rap as a narrative is an art,
People never take that part to heart,
Is it so hard, cramming words and rhymes,
Slamming awkward phrases in awkward places all out of time,
Amateurs, I should call you stammer-teurs, or even ham-ateurs,
Coz I see sham more than wham-bam for sure,
I hope we're clear, I hope you hear me, because this rap game is real dear to me,
Don't want some sap in a flap at the mike to shower us in verbal crap, sike!
Take a hike kid, put a lid on it, hop on your bike and get rid of it,
And when you come back pick up the slack and give me some real s***-

And maybe next time I won't send you home cryin'

Treat us like you can't beat-us
Don't even try to lead-us
Stop tryin to stop-us
Because you can't kill-us
Be-us See-us
Beatin the heck out of you
Takin the beat out of you
So that you can't see your shoes
Hear the Boo's for you
Don't you see there's no life for you?

well heres a tip...don't!!!!!I have enough annoying kids at my school who think they can rap,and to tell you the truth rap has been twisted since its origins into something controlled by the media for profit,and more then half of it is trash now that has no real purpose except to show off or talk about all the crimes you have done or something.So please don't try to act like something your not.This is seriously something I would expect from an American though to tell you the truth,not someone from...OK lets see...Nauru?

OK, this isn't a rap thread!!!

@Crimson: I was simply trying to fit into the rap archetype, that's all. I'm quite outgoing and civilized in real life. (I think.) I don't want to act that way all the time; quite frankly, I hate that mentality as much as you. It was intended as a parody, nothing more. Don't worry. I (shhhh!!!! big important top-secret stuff here!!) am American, but that is just a ploy location. I hate rap music; I enjoy bands like Yes and Cream and Pink Floyd.
