bluedraggy: I cannot confirm or deny if a future picture may or may not include a bead of sweat or a # shaped pulsing vein on a temple. :)

bluedraggy: Thanks AMK! I'll let her know, though I bet she steals a glance in here on her own. FWIW, 5 chapters of the story are already up at bdfanfic.tumblr.com so read-away!

bluedraggy: So in my Dodger fanfiction, I have a new character who just happened to step right out of Dodger's imagination. (The sexy thief-lady). As I mentioned, my daughter (who actually CAN draw) offered to do some lineart for me to color and add to the story. This is her first work, and I think it's pretty awesome, esp. given the rather vague nature of the original. To turn someone else's doodle into a fleshed out character is just magic to me.

Anyway, this is a scene where Dodger meets Veronica. I named he after Veronica Lake. I will leave it to you to discover who that is. She's not the Archie character FWIW.

I will admit right now that my Dodger character is not very close to Kaz' original. I just haven't got his sense of humor. Hopefully I have one of my own. Anyway, gaze in stunned silence at my daughter's work. And if you say anything critical I'll bite your head off. v_v

bluedraggy: Confession time. I'm writing a new SFW (mostly) fanfiction on Porcupine-Dodger at http://bdfanfic.tumblr.com. I've been blatantly stealing images from the Dodger: Break the Law till now because I can't draw.

But the story is getting pretty far afield of the events of the canon story. So I needed to find someone to draw some pictures for me. I didn't go far. My daughter, who here I'm calling Anscer, has long been a Prequel fan. (my fault). Don't worry, she's an adult. Yeah, I'm that old. Anyway, I showed her my fanfic project and she likes it and offered to draw for me.

She mostly does anime style things, but she tried her hand at Dodger in some sketches. This is the result. Yeah, she's good.

She's already done her first sketch for me that I'll post shortly besides this. I plan to color it, but before I screw it up I'd rather post it as is.

So this is a semi-ad for my fanfic Dodger: Continuation, and a semi-introduction of my daughter to the fanart booru.

Oh, if you're wondering why the hearts... She pointed out how radically different a picture is if you draw a heart beside it. Tis true!

bluedraggy: adorableness in greyscale! You may officially feel good about yourself with this.

bluedraggy: You did it, you madman! You uploaded it! Woe be to those who visit that thread. (They even used my porniest rollyourownlewd for the OP.) Thank god it will be gone in a day or two at most. I swear I never ever post there though! Honest!

bluedraggy: The timing's right! Or on Sept. 18th.

bluedraggy: Traditionally you poke your spear through a door handle in most countries.

bluedraggy: Ohoh. Guess I did something wrong. I know what I did. Won't do it again.

bluedraggy: Lion Katia and Raptor QW shipping next? Ferality. With cake.

bluedraggy: It's the size Kazerad's roll-your-own-lewds came in. I could have fake-expanded, but I always avoid changing graphics sizes if possible. For those so inclined... I did more elsewhere. But I won't put em here. This may be okay but they're over the top. Fun 'game' though!

bluedraggy: If this doesn't belong - I understand. Delete away. I figured SOMETHING should come of Kaz' Roll-Your-Own-Lewds though! And I'm sure he's already anticipated them being uploaded. So I'll be the guinea pig and take the hit. I figure she's talking to a certain bartender. :)

bluedraggy: One learns most from ones' mistakes.

bluedraggy: Naw, I'm with you realbboy. I actually did rotate the ones on her left arm at roughly shoulder level, but realized that still doesn't help since I'd have to rotate over every bend. If I go that route again, I'd use some hexagonal and staggered scales so they didn't form straight lines anyway. But I probably won't even try that again. Leather texture worked pretty well though.

bluedraggy: Surely you jest Sashimi! Not only did he write helpful and clearly knowledgeable criticism, but he posted what it could have looked like as well! I hate to think how long that took him to do - all for my benefit! Kind? I want to kiss his toes! (well, metaphorically speaking.) If you don't think I'm going to take his suggestions to heart, you're wrong. Not this one - it's over and done with for me. But damn that's a good revision! I said it was the best I could do at the time. Already I bet I could do better. I'm sure as hell not going to berate the guy who helped me do that!

bluedraggy: Radian, you're no asshole. You're trying to help and that's the opposite. You're a nose. :)

bluedraggy: I think you've got it Jim-North. I bet that's the context!

bluedraggy: Actually, I think she's actually doing a stand-up routine and someone is heckling her now that I think about it.

bluedraggy: This is my Magnum Opus. The best I can do coloring at mu current skill level. I spent more time on this than it has any right to suck up out of my life. Ive got leather texture and scale skin textures in there goddammit! The only thing missing is the Batman Forever version (which I'll put up on realbboy's discord and probably everywhere else on earth.) Okay - I can color decently when given enough time and effort. And curves to inspire me.

Kazerad drew it (mostly - maybe I enhanced it just a tad. :) I colored. Don't know what the context was, but Evil Quill-Weave is angry. Now is not a good time to be Faceless Mook.

bluedraggy: I was really wondering if I was offending any Brazilians. Sounds like it's kinda spot-on (or as AMKitsune would say, bang-on) If it was offensive, I'd just blame Kaz though.

bluedraggy: Yup - another BD color-job. I wrote this thing around this image though: http://bdprequel.tumblr.com/post/164761003530/breaking-news-qw-rocks-the-fandom-to-its-core

Also, I said "Screw the nay-sayers and those hard-shading purists, I'm going to make the SOFTEST shading EVAR! HAHAHAH!"

bluedraggy: From a fan on another site: She's fantasizing about having an enhanced 4096 x 4096 texture and and a customized DMRA-GUTS body-type :3

bluedraggy: See! Even Quill-Weave is full of happiness and joy! Er... maybe a little too much happiness and joy. What'cha got there Quill?

I think I missed the stream that this was in reference to, but it's not hard to figure out what the discussion was about.

bluedraggy: I'm sorry everybody - when I went to visit Kaz a couple weeks ago he let me take every sketch he hadn't nailed down. It seems I inadvertently took the Update. Here. Now everyone can be happy again!

I have much more time without streams to do my coloring, and quite a bit of material to work with. Today is all about Happiness and Joy!

bluedraggy: Couldn't draw a stick figure Sashimi. I'm not even good at coloring, but I do enjoy doing them anyway. I (used to) pay Kaz to draw coloring books for me essentially.

bluedraggy: New and improved: https://media.tumblr.com/a51841057e5c995904ecf54b4e2afb2a/tumblr_inline_ovejxaFOYG1sn6wro_raw.png
If some mod feels like fixing that for me, I'd be ever so grateful!

bluedraggy: Dammit forgot Quills chest pattern. Again!

bluedraggy: I am still fascinated by the idea of Quill-Weave playing an RPG. So I commissioned Kaz to draw her imaginary OC. I took quite a few liberties in deciding the colors to use here, but I figured skinny snek style would be most appropriate. I also spent way too long shading various lizard boobs and probably ruined them by overthinking - but it's fun to overthink lizard boobs. So here's QW's own headcannon OC. Sorta a wonder woman archer vibe.

bluedraggy: Here's a corrected version with the other fin and the green chest pattern.

bluedraggy: Well, it was a quick sketch-doodle from Kaz. Background ear flaps are for high quality sketch-doodles.

bluedraggy: Goddammit it's getting so a girl can't even enjoy a popsicle in peace around here! (Sorry Quill, I don't think I have the ability.)

bluedraggy: Go here. It's worth the trip. https://www.youtube.com/user/vanripper17

bluedraggy: Yes indeed! Though I probably won't be installing the censor bar mod.

bluedraggy: OMG! The stories I could do, the havoc I could wreak with this! The mind boggles! I will be patiently awaiting that mod pack. Keep up the good work. Katia looks totally out of place in Skyrim, but with other characters in the same cartoony style it might be glorious!

bluedraggy: I think we all have the ability to edit and add tags. (that's how mine magically get the right tags eventually!) I just added QW.

bluedraggy: I wrote a thing for this. http://bdprequel.tumblr.com/post/163684743575/fanfiction-a-fine-apple

bluedraggy: 11/10 AMK. Will not stop laffing again. Pupils are heavy things!

bluedraggy: New t-shirt for sale when?

bluedraggy: Imho anything made by Kaz is fair game, but that's just my opinion. I'm quite happy I got to see this anyway! But I don't think you sound like a dick. Mods have the ultimate say.

bluedraggy: Her and unicorn are the only chars that have any concept of modesty. That can be outraged anyway.

bluedraggy: They're not nude! Necessarily.

bluedraggy: Heh! I just thought she left her dentures out. Replace if desired.

bluedraggy: NP Lykozze! Some people don't like that sort of thing (sort of RPing the image), but one look and that scenario just screamed out at me.

(BTW, the neck issue looks fine to me. Her chin is just obscuring the neck line. Didn't even notice till Rokar pointed it out.

bluedraggy: Video Liked. Great job on that! Now I'm depressed and want to kill myself. Yup, great job! (Why do I like Prequel again? Someone remind me.)

bluedraggy: That's one fine looking fanart right there!

"Yes sir Mr. Lifeguard sir?"

"Ma'am... you're not fooling anyone. That's not a bikini and this in not a clothing-optional beach."

bluedraggy: Hey, um, Budnick... Can I color this? Well, and post it I mean?

bluedraggy: I had to check - she sold it for 20 septims. Resale for 25 seems reasonable. I once heard markup of %50 in retail is typical. So a nice discount shop.

bluedraggy: Oh, and very nice work btw! Esp love her sparkly sad eyes.

bluedraggy: If ever she dare to show her face again! Katia should tell her friend Asotil about her. I wonder if her actions actually broke any specific lae though? Loremaster Kax might know.

bluedraggy: Ah, 2014. We we're all so young and naive then. We thought Katia would go on forever. And those great fanartists, where have they gone? I blame the Frey holiday disaster outfit. Too conservative.
