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.

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
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?"

...I actually prefer the original concept.
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...
