POMA: Fetish porn on booru. Well, that's where I draw the line. Fuck you all, fuck mods and fuck you kazerad, cya never. [comment pending for deletion]
POMA: Well you ask me to asnwer and then tell everyone to not comment on that matter, well then...
Overall drawing is nice, i liked that you managed to show distinctive looks of both styles but your Katia has frame of a bodybuilder when she should be a fragile khajiit and as for the joke I don't even find it a joke. Your Katia on second frame looks so disgusted by that assumption she may scare low level creatures away just as well as with Eye of Fear. Scared Katia in third frame is not a punchline, there should fourth one where original Katia says something like "So you're not afraid of breastfur-eating moths?"
POMA: And it is exactly the problem I've talked about. Your Katia has nothing to do with comic Katia aside from being yellow cat. The same apply for other Prequel characters from whom you only borrow their images putting everything rest aside. It is not an adaptation anymore, it's a fanfiction. So please add fanfic tag so I could block it right away.
POMA: When you go for wordplay twice in a row it gets lost in context. People won't undestand it unless they saw previous conversation about naming. Should've sticked to "live nine times".
POMA: What we know of Rajirra so far: escaped slave traders in morrowind, took every oddjob she could, worked hard all her life to earn trust for khajiiti kind and panicked once she saw a hulking imp 4 times the size of her.
Now a quick recap for Katia: drinking and slutting almost all her concious life, breaking and entering, public debauchery, destorying of private properties, failing at easiest tasks.
Not judging but saying that if you think Rajirra is a bad person, you should be completely disgusted by Katia.
POMA: I think it's because of the fact Kazerad didn't actually showed his name anywhere in the comics. But as the alias list stands his name is still S'Thengir.
POMA: @gerawind Well if you need other color combination so much - https://i.imgur.com/AEej4cB.png
@lapma No idea how me not being ok with anything can restrain you from coloring it.
POMA: You can automatically copy the code to clipboard.

POMA: Glad to see you're finnaly taking into account the whole "Katia is actually cute" thing but you seriously fucked up the profile portrait symmetry and also her skull should make a fine circle to give her HER distinct look.
Here's quick fix to understand what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/hOLjD5o.png
POMA: Dank, I caused some commotion here <_<
Well to start I want to say when I started that translation I was quite inexperienced in all that kind of stuff. But with practice comes expertise.
Secondly knowing that russian fanbase is not accustomed to MSPA comics style I remade the whole thing from 2nd person into 1st person which caused some troubles as the narration was constatnly switching between all three existing persons.
Next thing is joyreactor (aforementioned site where I post tranlasted comics) doesn't allow much post editing so every mistake I make stays there forever. It's really hard for me to keep working on a thing when it already looks done.
As for wordplays and puns (translating over a hundred cat puns singlehandedly gave me PTSD and I now shiver whenever I hear one) I only failed once, with red slaughterfish. I didn't even recognize a pun there let alone adapt it properly into russian, the rest I got covered for good though.
You mentioned fe-line from precede flash. I adapted in into линь-ка where линь means line and линька is hair shedding. The whole joke was something like "it takes a khajiit shedding to make one"
POMA: cheekbone and muzzle line look a bit off and legs are too long. Overall this looks very neat and I like that old-fashioned scandinavian/british outfit.
P.S. That challenge is about any character or strictly Katia?
POMA: It was supposed to be 1st april rework of gharug highwayworking katia out but I started to do it too late so it ended up cut to single highwaywoman.
POMA: So where's that "something else" which was a source for edit/of inspiration? I seriously wanna see that as I took everything mostly out of my head.
POMA: Egh...
-Wush-mush, fix your english, bluh-bluh, khajiiti girl with 2 men is fine u perv.
-restudy english, yes, but beign with 2 guys is so not Katia...
That's compressed version of that dialogue.
POMA: Ehhh, advi-i-i-ice. Okay, what you do here is completely wrong. Drawing is, essentially, just a bunch of lines - straight and curved - so the first thing you have to learn is how to draw them. And the best thing to learn it is spend some quality time drawing spheres and cubes. There are a lot of teach-yourself material about it on the internet. Also complete retrace won't teach you anything but retracing, you better try to copy image by occasionally peeking at original or build a skeleton off the image - it'll help you understand how the bodies work.
POMA: Body count means number of people involved into operation?
Also yes, this really look like his style and i can't imagine katia setting mice on fire.
POMA: Knowing your work is bad is the first step to improvement. Knowing why exactly is it bad is the second step. Knowing how to fix it is the third step. Get commended is the fourth one. But well, i have no power here, so I won't say anything besides positive or uplifting stuff anymore but please notice it may turn out to be sarcasm.
POMA: I personally find discouraging for an artist when people call their work great when in fact it's not. And I feel discouraged about giving real criticism to these artworks as people on the booru already claimed this to be all round well made because it will make me look like I'm an asshole and my text will go to waste. So why can't I just skip the most meaningless part of this routine and just get claimed to be an asshole whatsoever?
