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 think it was July 2008.
I'm reposting this because it got changed and the link to the old image is presumably now broken.
And since Cenere has been so good as to resume updating the MWT, I can reveal a little more about the Way of Moderation, bit by bit...
...see, the Way of Moderation is a term I thought up for fun, to represent Strop's (apparently) rigorous set of principles by which one becomes and behaves as a moderator. However, as you can see, the Way of Moderation Trial...that will be something else.
Specifically, it will be an event run in a similar style to Cenere's MWT. That's right, some of you have wanted it to happen, so it's going to happen!
I've been discussing this with Cenere and he is eager to make you all suffer- I mean act as co-host this time around. Apparently I need to experience the hell of hosting first hand.
And that's all I'm saying for now!
WOOOOO CENERE FINISHED THE MWT!!! FRIGGEN AWESOME!!!
I have not-so-secretly been waiting for this so I can go ahead and write the totally epic ending that wraps up Strop's involvement in this arc and will also detail the character developments, uh, inflicted upon him during and afterwards.
Page 1:
The title page of this chapter. Tantalising!
Page 2:
Yeah, that's a good question. Keeping in mind that Strop wasn't in any state to actually properly think about the events nearer the end of the MWT.
Page 3:
Hey, call me cliche but it's legit! Mostly.
Page 4:
HOORAY FOR RECYCLED IMAGES. Some of you may recognise the top half of this page.
Strop's mother, as a character, has not been fleshed out but I'll tell you now, she's an interesting one.
Page 5:
Yeah, the Government's portal are downright s***ty. No customer service whatsoever. And as Cenere says, white swirling in white...no wonder it's giving Strop the acid trip from hell.
Page 6:
This will probably be the easiest page to draw all chapter. Oh wait, I take that back.
Page 7:
Appearance of the mysterious otter ninja!?
...darn, I should have finished drawing the rest of Story of Strop first. This will ruin quite a big secret >_>
Page 8:
Strop's moment of utter confusion is probably the most conscious he has felt thus far.
Page 9:
And the most psychadelic page I have cared to draw thus far.
Page 10:
This page has intentionally been left blank.
Page 11:
And we're back! Cue massive hangover for Strop. Oh wait, no, HI THERE STROP!
Page 12:
Strop seems to have forgotten that all his limbs are, in fact, broken.
Page 13:
MASSIVE SPOILER!!! Yeah. Under that poufy queen's dress, Carlie's alter-ego is a ninja with an otter mask.
Oh, and snivelly Strop. Awwwwwww.
Page 14:
Recurring theme! Wait, did I say snivelly? Update that to complete and utter bawling. Though it is a little OOC for Strop since I myself haven't done anything like this for...a very long time :/
Page 15:
You probably don't need to know the entire contents of Strop's garbled rant. Basically a rundown of how the world of the MWT was full of death and genocide and people that didn't seem to really care about it. Carlie is all "woah" but in all her regal bearing knows exactly how to deal with it.
...and I've run out of pages! More to come...later. When I finish my paper and catch up with my revision. 8 WEEKS TO EXAMS PWAARRRGGGHHHHHHH D:
