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.

I utterly suck at writing anything with my left hand, or at least when it's not on the keyboard XD.

Actually I really got on to post a quick sketch and a song I started writing yesterday and finished today...in ENT tute...

And I,
Am like a silence,
So fragile.
When you release me, so gently,
You break me.

Goodbye, cast me-
Out of sight and out of mind,
Don't look back,
Turn out the light and leave me far behind,
I wish you godspeed, I wish you health,
Please, take care of yourself.

And I,
Will disappear,
Into the aether,
Like a whisper, I'll love her,
Forever.

So run, far-
Away let us not share our tears,
Move on, don't-
Hesitate or stumble on your fears,
Place our memories high on a dusty shelf,
Please, take care of yourself.

Awesome drawing and epic song!

I loved the perspective on that picture.

I'm not left-handed, but the similarity is odd.

Yes, odd indeed. I recently did an experiment in which I used my left hand for jobs usually done with my right hand, and visa-versa. I was amazed and rather ashamed of all the things my right couldn't do, such as unscrewing things or even holding a glass steady as I poured a drink.
Aside and on topic: Strop, I enjoyed reading your poem very much.

Gee, leave my thread alone for a week and it goes all the way back to page 3 :P

Ah, the art forums are so busy...it's great!

Anyway, I'm not spamming. I'm just posting something here because it's not finished but part of it is.

Is that an insult :P

He changed the original thread name to that... I'm not sure why, though. Because he haven't found a better name yet, mayhaps?

And Orlestat is an anthro peregrin falcon (MWT knowledge ftw).

Is that an insult :P
Actually I think it was more to be understood as a compliment for Strop.

I like it! SO very robotic! Completely hand drawn is commendable. Most people use computer programs for colour and shade.

@OctoberSnow:
Most of the art Strop has posted in this thread is digital~ I'm not sure what you meant with your post, just thought I'd say it~

I know what October means!

Some artists will use various things like texture brushes, rendering filters and automated scripts for their effects. At the moment I'm using an ascetic approach, only using circular brushes (hence my going stir-crazy with the layers) without any filters whatsoever. Hence it is "completely hand drawn".

I wouldn't mind a texture brush though. And I don't know what robotic means in this context...
