bluedraggy: One of the stories from last night wasn't here so I'm putting it here. I scanned for typos, did some slight editing. This is part 1 of a 2 parter. I've got one that's 14 parts and of course I wasn't going to upload them all, but with only 2 I guess I'll do that here. After I correct, insert BBCode, etc.

bluedraggy: Honestly, not really. Mostly it's just imagining what a typical day for QW must be like, post-Katia. Oh, and because illustrations are always better: https://bdfanfic.tumblr.com/post/166054009518/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-argonian-writer (plus I actually did spell check on it!)

bluedraggy: Wow - that's a REALLY good line!

bluedraggy: Very evocative. What, no sunglasses at night Chat Noir? It's weird, that Dodger fic of mine was sort of Noir based in Oblivion setting. I named a character after Veronica Lake actress from The Blue Dahlia. Seems connecting Prequel to Noir isn't such a unique idea after all. Keep em coming!

bluedraggy: Nice. Really! But I have to mention it... Lack of tail? As for tags, those will get added for sure.

bluedraggy: Hey, they can't ALL be literary masterpieces! I cannot confirm or deny the state of my clothing when I wrote this.

bluedraggy: This one made me laugh out loud. I'm so embarrassed now. Good job!

bluedraggy: AMKitsune or any other mod around, would you be able to overwrite this submission with this: http://d.facdn.net/art/bluedraggy/1506989351/1506989351.bluedraggy_commission_-_sashimi_01_-_webfinalfinalfinal.png please please pretty please? I stupidly painted over the signature and DrawPanther's been so nice about it I really HAVE to get that fixed!

bluedraggy: Wow! I got a comment from the artist himself! Unfortunately I inadvertently colored over his signature. NOT kosher. I'll fix that and ask AMKitsune if he can update it when done. DrawPanther is sooo cool though. I should rename myself Majestic Buckets. And I can confirm more is forthcoming. Damn Sashimi, you're building up so much anticipation for your fanfiction it's gonna be #1 on the bestseller list!

bluedraggy: Yup, you're right Raydio. I revisited it, improved both the water and the sky, doing exactly what you suggested. No need to update the entry here, but for Sashimi at least, here's a "final-final" version. Probably. https://media.tumblr.com/c711826995327f31eb43299fe1078862/tumblr_inline_ox5aam6cMT1sn6wro_raw.png

bluedraggy: I don't think I'm at Radian's level yet - but as long as I feel I'm getting better with every one of these, I'll keep plugging away. Of course, I see all the things I could have improved. But I'm also proud of it. I knew after 4 nights of working on it, I was going to get burnt out so I called it done last night. Honestly, I can't wait for the next one Sashimi! (water sucks, sky is practically a 10 year old's version. But I did like the dappling of the sun through the trees. Eyes of course. I dunno why but I simply like the way I do em. There's a certain furry porn artist that is immediately recognizable by his eye style. I wouldn't call mine "patented" because they're so simple, but I like em. And the bucket. That's primo bucket coloring right there.

bluedraggy: Yay for celebrations. Hurrah. Nice expression though.

bluedraggy: True story: when I graduated high school, I won the Math and Science awards. (small school tho, not bragging.) My art teacher told me I would have won that too, but they gave it to someone else since I already won those others. Still pisses me off to this day. A featured masterpiece is just that, regardless of how much Radian looks like Meryl Streep. :)

bluedraggy: When I'm obsessed, I'm REALLY obsessed. This is not necessarily a good thing, but thanks Kat! Thanks a LOT!

bluedraggy: I finished this yesterday and wanted to highlight it, but it's a pretty long-form fanfiction so I thought I'd just put up the first 'chapter' and link the rest at the bottom of it. Seems like the way to go for long ones like this. I'm relatively proud of it, even if I did use every cliche in the book and Dodger's personality isn't exactly canon. I also stole a LOT of Kaz-art for illustrations on the tumblr page. But hey, it's SFW! That's like, a first for me!

bluedraggy: Proves that Questionable art can still be a featured masterpiece. This is both and I congratulate the brave soul who put it there.

bluedraggy: Honestly, it's rare that I read one of these from start to finish, but this one I did and was quite glad of it! Might be our QW+KM fantasy, but the style is just right. Even typos I only spotted one of (But things have seem brighter). Good work SuperMighthena! It will help keep the warm and fuzzies while Katia gets into another terrible situation in Kaz' sadistic canon.

bluedraggy: What would muscles on a tail look like anyway? But yeah, what Sashimi said.

bluedraggy: Hey, this is really good Thewaitham! Inspires me to post my Hero of Kvatch fiction - but I'll give it a while.

bluedraggy: And AMKitsune thought of that too! Nice!

bluedraggy: Still, YAY for us Quill-Weave Wannabes!

bluedraggy: A question arises. If the content is questionable, should I use the questionable tag, thereby only obscuring the thumbnail text.

bluedraggy: First for fanfiction! Yay!

bluedraggy: Thanks, and no problem Raydio. It's better than I could ever do (and frankly better than some commissions I've gotten) so yeah, I'm happy with it! Fortunately she only has to reach for Kaz talent, not Makkon. :)

bluedraggy: More from Anscer. A couple weird Katias and a Your_Weird_OC character named Kitty from my Dodger fanfic. She's about 17, Anscer came up with the ringlet hair, and her headcanon is she's "not gifted in the chest department". Not sure if posting Weird OCs alone is verboten here, but there's a couple Katias so it oughta slide too. She's doing a full-scale 'commission' with her for me, and Dodger's in it, so when it's done that should fly too.

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.
