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.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Ninja horse!

There's a story behind this one- I've always been called a ninja in some manner of speaking. Why I call myself strop/strawpony is another story but anyway!
One late October, a friend of mine invited me to her 21st- it was fancy dress. I decided that I would turn up in a home-made ninja suit, which required me to fashion a mask made from cloth. When I turned up to the party, nobody recognised me because of the mask (like duh) and since I ended up being the only guy in actual fancy dress (so much for the fancy dress party) I was thereafter known as "that ninja guy". And every time I meet the family of said friend, they all have trouble recognising me because all they remember is the ninja.
So really. Even ninja have to take their masks off someday, or face a lonely existence.
