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.

yeah good question differential, it was just there on the reference pic I used. Of course I got it slightly wrong having not used the reference for ages but there does appear to be an inbuilt sight on the barrel on every picture I can find. I figured people who added scopes (as was intended) just didn't bother having it removed.

This is what I get up to during long case presentations... long cases are the mainstay examination of doctors, it consists of seeing a patient unsupervised for an hour, then presenting the findings, impression and formulation to a panel of consultant examiners in a ten minute speech, followed by about fifteen minutes of detailed questioning. Sounds dry and daunting? It is, but we have to pass this in order to graduate from med school, and also to become a fellow of a specialty.

We're told that even the examiners and attending consultants get bored during long case presentations and never listen to anything other than the sentences starting with "Mr/Mrs so-and-so is a such-and-such aged gentleman/lady from whatsitsplace with a history of all-these-comorbidities...", and "In summary..." So naturally students also get bored, in order to keep listening we're advised to jot notes and questions down, so that's what's happening here.

The picture is a draft for a scene that will appear in... can't say too much!

Yes, this is my "doctorly handwriting", it's total crap >_< They're just snippets for my own edification though. Oh, and look, the paper totally comes from the Royal Melbourne

Wow, that paper totally comes from the Royal Melbourne. Good to see our future doctors and specialists are focused...

So Cen convinced me that Strip's ninja suit needed updating. So in response to his sketches, this is what I scribbled out.

Cen's first pic was the original set of sketches. The latter is awesome.

lol, your maleness can be seen on these pics


Well, that's when I thought to myself, "what if I removed the pants and just left the netting instead?"

Results followed:

...I actually prefer the original concept.

Besides, I would have broken something if I had tried to make that much netting on the commish - -...

Now that I've updated the Way of Moderation nearly satisfactorarily, I took a well-earned break from it today.

But I really didn't expect to take so long drawing the Dragunov. Maybe I should have given her a simpler gun and not used such a fancy scope. The range of the scope is like twice the effective range of the Dragunov anyway...

I've only been talking about it everywhere, but just to supplement the story I've been telling everybody about being in med school and stuff...

Actually it's a bit more than that. We have known some users on this site to fabricate complex stories about their lives... which were later shown to be completely fictional. Since this is the internet, the ramifications of such tend to be limited, and there's nothing inherently wrong with making up random stuff about your life, so long as you're not violating the site rules (there have been examples of this happening, hence the qualifier). However I have witnessed a few users masquerading as doctors and medical students, and I don't know how the other genuine pre-med/med school students took it but I was actually pretty personally offended by the mockery they were making of the profession (often marked by trumped up and self-aggrandizing claims betrayed by a complete lack of understanding as to the structure of the industry). So I'm particularly keen to reassure everybody that my credentials are genuine.

Thus what I've got here are (very grainy, as my camera is old and about to kick the bucket) photos of the pieces of paper as handed to me by the vice-Chancellor of the university yesterday. You will note that they correspond with what I've been telling people, and later on you may also find further evidence that proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that they are genuinely mine (how I plan to do this shall, for now, remain a mystery hehe):

This one was technically obtained after the writing of my year-long thesis and course in biostatistics and epidemiology, which was all being completed in the first few months I was a member here (I joined AG because I was really bored sick of writing the thesis itself...) In fact I remember accepting the invitation to become a moderator a few days after I submitted the thesis lol. I think they may only be one or two fellow veterans still around who remember what I was posting before that time!

This is the main part of the degree, the bit that everybody needs to get to obtain an MBBS i.e. the other 5 years of my course. As you can see I've blotted out the name of the recipient, but Gantic can tell you that the blot is in the same shape as my blotted out signature on some of the pieces I've uploaded earlier xD As common as it is, I'd still like to keep my real name and thus a couple of aspects of my identity a secret :P
