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.

Dude...
That. Was. Epic.

The last kick-thing was kind of hard to understand.
After 10 minutes of studying it, something clicked.

Thanks guys

After 10 minutes of studying it, something clicked.


It took me a lot longer than ten minutes to figure out how to do it though, haha. Now I youtube "coindrop" and laugh at people who are just starting to learn it.

TRAIL BY FAIL!!!!!

very cool, but some of it was hard for me to follow on account of no movement. I couldn't figure out how you drew it, or how someone would do it in real life.
P.S. ow, I has a crotchy (wedgie on the crotch)

I'm a little ambidex, does that count?
This drawing is done completely with my offhand (left)...

Oh, your left handed! That explains the writing... I just figured it went hand in hand with the medical profession.

...the heck is that supposed to mean Xzeno? That either left-handed people or doctors or both have terrible handwriting? Coz either way it makes me feel insecure about my terrible handwriting haha xD

Don't worry Strop, your handwriting is beautiful. *LEFTY PRIDE*

Do you draw with your left hand too? I do.

I was being sarcastic. The English language was of course made for right-handed people. As such, left-handed people tend to have sloppier hand-writing then right-handed people. Additionally, I have never met a doctor who did not have sloppy writing, which I attribute to the speed of the writing, speed being necessary to record information quickly.

You're probably right- I think doctors also have bad handwriting because they're always cramped up in horrible positions when writing clinical notes so much so it's turned into a tradition.

"Oh yeah...the pharmacist ought to know what this asdfwedrftgbujnmk should mean!"

Though really...I think the real problem with writing left-handed is the ink stains I get when handwriting essays...

Oh yeah, I knew I forgot to reply to something...Zoph, that's pretty good. I can tell your lines are a little wobbly (obviously) but your style still comes through.

Probably a lot better than I could say for my right hand...my right hand is the one that did all the MS Paint mouse drawing though. I'm ambidextrous with a mouse but not a pen...funny that.
