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.

In my early days at AG, Devoidless and I engaged each other in light friendly rivalry of sorts. In fact one of the chapters of SoS will detail how Strop was defeated by Devoidless in a lightsaber battle as part of an exhibition match held in the Armor Courts (which represent the profiles and the network of forum debates that Moe, Devoidless and I set up back in May 2008).

I saw photographs of that mat... I mean... I think I might have read that discussion.

Will read for... sleep. Sleep first.

Alright!

For those of you who want to know, I've updated a character sheet of Strop. Now there's an official version!

Strop

Strop's banhammer. Be warned though, this page is BIG.

Having looked at the concept sketches I have here of the various moderator banhammers, I realise that none of them are actually hammers. There's a staff, an axe, a guitar-axe, a very large fish...

Whee, I decided to start jotting down a few pages of the 5th round of the MWT.

Fortunately I didn't do that many, because the script may be reworked. But here's a little bit!

Page 1:

Cue Sasquatch's trademark entrance.

Page 2:

I apologise for this extremely poor, 'unfrescoed' rendition of Sasquatch and Yeti. But cut me some slack- it's a sketch!

Page 3:

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/mwtS5-03d.jpg

I originally envisaged that Sasquatch would always talk IN BOLD CAPS but I'm told this may not be appropriate. However I would like to keep the source of the grudge that Sasquatch holds because this is consistent with the AG world, which makes for more in-jokes.

Is Strop a ditz or did he do that intentionally...? I know I used to do that on a friend of mine...

If my suspicions are correct, the rewritten script will feature a Sasquatch that initially loses it but calms down into a focused ball of...anger. Then again it might not.

That's it for now. Artistic liberty has and will be taken but I do like to get things right, so this is paused for the time being.

Well, we have already concluded that Strop is a ditz on a regular basis, he might just be overwhelmed by it.

Sleepish lol-ing from here. I think it could be marvelous if you and Crimson worked together... Oh F how am I going to ever choose...

First frame, page three. You have no idea how much I laughed at that! XD

Okay, technically not that much, but still enough to make me twitch with laughter. Hilarious. ^^

Add after this line:

Despite himself, Sasquatch picks the hammer up by the handle and starts swinging it at Strop again, this time much more effectively.


Sasquatch: Gee, thanks!

Strop: I shouldn't have said that.

Strop: (Brandishing a pair of oversized clippers) WITH A $9000 HAIRCUT!!! xD


wow you made a reference to the beginning of Sasquatch,when I had him in the Hair theme.I guess you did judge so its not too unbelievable that you remember that.Of course I still remember it myself,but that was probably the best part as of right now from the dialogue.I think it was improved well enough for my tastes.Now of course it still has Sasquatch being overly aggressive,but this can be marked off as extreme anger,so its no big deal I suppose.So overall I like the new version of it and hope to see who wins.

I thought it was a nice touch myself, seeing as I still don't have much of an idea of Sasquatch's IC backstory. I remember he got pretty angry about it though, hahahaha.

Once the whole MWT is over, regardless of who wins, there are plans for making this an actual comic- so would you like to work on this scene with me to get the plot/dialogue/tone up to scratch?

OMG STROP NOT WEARING NINJA MASK!?

That's right, when I'm not doing my work or stuff I owe people, I'll do a series of pages on what Strop wears when not being ninja. Part of the Story of Strop workup.

[Sarcastic comment]If you wouldn't have made the seperate drawing of the 32" inch waist polyester swim trunks who knows what I would've done with that picture. Not to mention the fact that he gets bronzed when sweaty.[/Sarcastic comment] :P

Anyways, according to the title, it says he is wearing gym shorts. My question is why would you wear gym shorts as opposed to swimming trunks at a beach. Which is where I presume he is, unless people play volleyball, sun tan, and sit under umbrellas at a gym.


<3 strop.

Because swimming trunks and board shorts have those annoying mesh webbings that make it impossible to move without serious chafing. WTF is up with those things anyway?

I don't like going into the water. If I went to the beach I would stay as dry as possible and assault peo- I mean do flips and tricks on the sand, hence I would wear just about anything that allowed me to move freely.
