Pronin: Now, I'm not gonna flat out say that this terrible, I'm just gonna say that you really need to work on getting better at art.

realbboy: @Pronin: Better than what I could do.

Grape: @Pronin: Awww, come on. You know better than to act like that. You're just being insulting.

The booru is for any fanart of any skill, it isn't a proving ground. Act nice or don't act at all. </3

Pronin: @Grape:
1: I'm not not trying to be insulting, I'm sorry if I am.

2: I already saw this image posted on Tumblr weeks before it was posted here. So, I've have had enough time to get over it.

Pronin: @Pronin: https://slowpokegamer.tumblr.com/post/162265755829/slowpokegamer-transparent-katia-for-your-blog

Kazerad: @Pronin: Aww, don't be a dick, jeeze.

I understand that it's easy to view comments like yours as being helpful criticism. I mean, God knows I left enough of them when I was younger. But the thing is, looking back on such comments now, a lot of them are really embarrassing because I didn't have much concept of what makes art good or bad. I understood some rudimentary concepts like proportions and anatomy, but was clueless toward more advanced things like composition and positive/negative space. Working from pure intuition, many of the artists I criticized were exceptionally good at these advanced concepts, and I probably ruined a few of them by getting them to prioritize the dumb stuff I viewed as determinant of art quality.

Ultimately, one of the best things you can do to help people get better at art is to encourage them to draw. Bad, good, or whatever - anything that gets them to push forward without consequence or shame will bring their skill higher than something that makes them create less. In many cases, the work of such wild artists will come to excel in ways unencompassed by more rudimentary criticisms, which is honestly much more beneficial.

This probably isn't a discussion that should be had on randomlyFish's drawing, though.

Radian: Hm, "you really need to work on getting better at art" doesn't sounds insulting for me. Who the hell don't really need to work on art gains? From my point of view it sounds like "keep going". At least if you see something like this you probably wont stop progressing. I fucking losing that the heck I want to say...
BUT this "advice" isn't very helpful, if you want to say picture sucks you should also say why it sucks, and in best case you should also say how to make it better.

Rick2tails: saying "you need to get better at your art" without any constructive criticism comes across totally as "man you suck!" and while the likeness in this picture isnt spot on. its still cute and not bad art

randomlyFish: The pure chaos that erupted on this post when I got busy with school has killed me what haPPENED,,,,,

Caps: She is very cute. ; )
RIP those glows though.

KuroNeko: Nothing better than a cool drink during a hot day.
Really adorable, especially the pig.
I like how you drew the sun rays.

Caps: Hot Kattia is hot.

KuroNeko: Don't worry, she's fine.

This was inspired by Lapma last drawing. Quill wanted a flying minion. Unfortunately for her, pigs don't fly.

Caps: XD
Nice reference to the Wizard of og. ; )
I always liked how you bring an extra drawing in the comment section.
Would Quill melt away if she is hit with a bucket with water?

bluedraggy: She flew. A little.

lapma: @KuroNeko: Yay, more piggies. It is realy cool and that extra doodle is super adorable. Now that her moment of weaknes has past and she lost her intress in keeping Princess as a minion she can go back to being pet hating mistress of evil.

Miki: Why no one commented about a hand in the ass?
Everyone sees it, but nobody wants to talk about it, shame on you!
Oh well. No one will read this comment in any way. :D

lapma: @Miki: Well, if you want to keep your pet in good health piggies can use o visit of Proctologist from time to time.

bluedraggy: I suspect Evil Quill-Weave wouldn't make for the best proctologist. Or WOULD she?!

lapma: @bluedraggy: Nah she is great doctor and vet, you just have to remember that she hasn't taken Hippocratic outh.

lapma: Quill:*doesn't want pig*
Katia:*gets pig anyway*
Quill and pig:
FORWARD MY MINION!!!

KuroNeko: Hehe, this is really funny and adorable :)

Caps: They are really cute. : )
I hope it is not some kind of evil plan from Quill´s part.

Zargothrax: Cat burglar
Out all of my long-time-wip drawings, this is definitely the oldest. The sketch for this was ancient, I made it around when Katia was still about to break in the mages guild. Fixed some issues with the sketch, then did everything else. Finally.

lapma: As you might have think, i like more cartoony and cute Katia, but this is rly well done great job.

KuroNeko: That's great! Really nice perspective. I love those big realistic ears.
Though when I llok at this, I can't help but imagine her trying to be sneaky only to get her right foot stuck on the window and falling head first to the ground.

APayne1776_2: OOOOOOH SHE STEALING!!!

Rick2tails: nice work here

Zargothrax: @lapma: @Rick2tails: Thank you.
@KuroNeko: Thanks, and knowing her, that's the most likely outcome.
@APayne1776_2: Well, technically she didn't go back for anything she didn't already own.

Zargothrax: @Zargothrax: I meant anything that wasn't already hers.

Caps: It looks amazing!!!
I also love that camera angle.
I forgot she had a sneaking suit.

bluedraggy: Wow Zargo. Really excelled with this one.

Zargothrax: @Caps: Thank you! She's usually wearing the cloak of gray tomorrow over it, but that's just the cloak. She has the tunic under it.
@bluedraggy: Thanks! Originally wanted to upload this monochrome, but finished it anyway, and I'm glad I did because the coloring and shading of this one was surprisingly painless.

bluedraggy: Something that came into my head last night while walking the dog and thinking about Kaz' old essay about an alien lizard that doesn't know social conventions. Of course all the characters (except that gawdawful guy beside her in the first one) were drawn by others - cubedcoconut and Kazerad in this case. Got Cubed's okay just now to post it. He liked it too. So let's see what the mods say about this one! Don't worry, Katia was freed after the misunderstanding was cleared up. S'thengir, however, was pissed at the work he had to do on the signs.

Rick2tails: OMG!!!!!!!!! this is hilarious! and it has a bartender cameo in it too! thanks bluedraggy for posting this!

DarthVader: That’s actually kinda funny not gonna lie

lapma: Silly Kati,cool idea.

Zargothrax: She should've been given a litterbox.

Vidiotdragon: The realistic urinals make this somehow funnier

KuroNeko: Lol, it's pretty funny.
The best thing about this is that it's totzlly in character for Katia.

bluedraggy: @Vidiotdragon I'd originally drawn a trough, but I felt like it wasn't immediately recognizable so I went with the modern urinal. Wasn't exactly going for immersion obviously! :)

APayne1776_2: Oh ok

Caps: This is really funny.
And Kattia in the first panel looks very cute.
Awesome work. ; )

lapma: Quill's moment of weaknes, eveen biggest villains have those.

Zargothrax: @lapma: If no one saw it, it didn't happen.

Caps: What a cute piggy. ; )
Is this the end of Quill's tiranny?

KuroNeko: Not even the mistress of evil can resist puppy eyes.

Caps: Poor Kitty Katty

Zargothrax: Not all fur provides frost resistance.

Zeroranic: i like it! She looks really cute... and sad. But i dont think katia is that thicc. I mean.. i would say she is is rather stick thin. But maybe thats just my interpretation

Rick2tails: that is not thicc. but Katia is underfed in this part of the story.Id make sure she was warm and well fed if I could .regardless this is nice work

Caps: At least, Quill didn't lure in mountain lions to do the job.

APayne1776_2: Why does Quill want to murder animals?

Zargothrax: The face on Princess says it all, great work!
Also argonians using their frills for body language should be canon.

lapma: @KuroNeko: @Zargothrax: Thanks, glad you like it.@APayne1776_2: Who can tell, for some reason she just hates pets

PermanentFace: I've been away from this booru for awhile. Why is there a pig now?

DarthVader: @PermanentFace: because this is Prequel, why the hell not.

lapma: @PermanentFace: It is kinda random think if you're interested in some details there is longer comment about it above. I don't want to comment section with copies of the same comment.@lapma:

Caps: I love the "run lola, run" reference there. ; )
Nice drawing.

lapma: @Zargothrax: Thank you, also now poor thing is scared terrified are you happy with yourself?

Zargothrax: @lapma: The absurdity of deathcore memes spreading on the Prequel booru brings an odd smile to my face, yes. Not that I'd like the subgenre, but for whatever reason, some of the memes always get me.

Zeroranic: The site:,,Describe This Image As Dramatically As Possible''

Me: Its stuff

Tabby_Catface: I love it ^^

Urglenurf__: I saw this in the title screen mod vid you posted earlier and wondered where the art was from. Well crafted and I hope to see more cool stuff from ya.

lapma: This looks rly cool, i kinda looks like it was made from folded paper.

Caps: This looks amazing!
It looks like the cover page of a book.

Zeroranic: @Ugrenlurf Tank you ^^. And yes.. i will definitely draw more Katia/Prequel stuff. Hope you will like it

@lapma Thanks! Oh and... the folded Paper Thing wasnt intentional but i do see why you think it looks like that. I do like the idea.. maybe i will do something based on it ^^

@Caps You too: Thank you :3. I also wanted it to look kinda like a book cover. The original purpose of this drawing was to be the art of my custom titlescreen for skyrim. But after some thinking here and there i did decide to turn it into fanart as well. So the idea of this being something like a book cover was quite close

Zeroranic: oh and thanks tabby ^^. I do highly appreciate it

Caps: Well, you did an amazing job. It does look fantastic. ; )
