Ofeerz: I made this render based off that one panel that's after Katia gives all her stuff to Sigrid. The Katia model itself is available for free at my Gumroad. Link is in the source tweet. Really liked making this render :P

NewFace: In retrospect, it was nice of Sigrid to let her keep her bandages.

TheGibusGuy: I felt bad for finding this scene kinda cute in the comic.

Kibermozgai: Awww, love that little fluff on her cheeks<3

Rick2tails: very cute!

DearFox: It seems that this is not the maximum resolution that is available. Perhaps it can be updated?

TheGibusGuy: @DearFox: This was the version I get sent over in my Twitter dms, I could ask again though.

TheGibusGuy: @DearFox: Extremely high res version available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17vW8UdRdjN0ygxBymKb0yK_58c66OgmE/view?usp=sharing

TheGibusGuy: @TheGibusGuy: Whoops, here it is as a clickable link.

Jig_Bigga: @TheGibusGuy: 8118x19911? YOU WEREN’T KIDDING!

Radiocaster: That's the kind of resolution that makes programs warn you before opening the file lmao

Raywingale: I don't think such a high resolution is necessary for drawing, at least not for characters

Radiocaster: @Raywingale: I can understand it since the piece was done in a very painterly style. It also explains why they didn't bother sending over the full resolution version. To that end, I wonder why they sent the max resolution version and yet still exported it as a jpeg.

Raywingale: @Radiocaster: There are no small details here that would require enlarging the canvas to view them. So it was possible to do this in a much lower resolution without completely losing the quality of the artwork. And it wouldn't even have to be scaled down. As for jpg, if the artist exported this art to png, the file would weigh more than 300 MB.

Robbyn: Katia meeting my DnD character, Sorren the goody two-shoes paladin

Jig_Bigga: Sorren’s such a little cutie!!

Sashimi: I really dig your style of kets!

Robbyn: @Sashimi: Thank you, will make sure to draw more kets

Rick2tails: cute art there!

TheGibusGuy: He's so fuzzy!

Radiocaster: This page originally started as a full video animation before getting reworked into a GIF. It was going to be set to this song from Symphony of the Night.

Frankly, this page sucks. I'm going to retire big animated pages as they take too long to make to be enjoyable, and don't add anything to the story. I've come to hate the GIF format and its limitations; I don't like formatting GIFs for the booru as the site was never built to allow image sequences without the wonky comment section workaround, and as far as I know the site doesn't support the less limiting animated WebP format either.

The fire in the background was supposed to be animated. Even though I know I still have the frames somewhere, I'm too lazy to fix it and I'm frankly really tired of working on this page. As a consolation, I can tell you that we won't be in the dark on Sigrid and Katia's places on the celestial board for much longer...

Radiocaster: Honestly I don't like where this page ended up so much that I'll probably just pretend like it never happened. It's true what they say, know when to kill your darlings.

TheGibusGuy: The gifs are cool, but maybe just gif panel per page would work? That way you don't have to make sure each animation is the same length.

Radiocaster: @TheGibusGuy: Yeah, I've considered just limiting it to a couple frames per whole page, or one animation per page, which would give me some leeway. I don't plan on it anyway because the GIF format simply doesn't look good under how I like to do things. Notice how most previous panels made heavy use of gradients and vignettes to achieve a moody exterior; GIF always reduces image colors to the point that flat gradients look horrendous, effectively meaning I can't use them. It would be less of an issue if I went back to a sequence of images (again not really feasible on Booru without precariously embedding it all in the comments). If I could use a different format like WebP that allows for full color animation it would also be a different story, but I have no reason to believe this website supports it. At the end of the day, I'm more of a comic artist than an animator, and I'd rather focus on story than visual clutter.

AMKitsune: Personally, I love these long, multi-panel gifs simply for the technical feat of having multiple, independent animations all playing simultaneously on the same timeline.
As for webp support, I suppose that depends on whether the web server has the capability to generate thumbnails for them like it can other image formats. Thinking about it, this web server was set up long before webp was even a twinkle in it's creator's eye, so the back-end image manipulation software probably doesn't even recognise webp as a format!

Jig_Bigga: Quill looks absolutely adorable here, and the detail and the shading and everything is just beautiful

but oh my gosh please don’t tell me that silouette is katia

GrizzlyBear: Katia can solve the mystery behind her nightmares, become the best wizard ever, save Tamriel from the Oblivion crisis, achieve CHIM and reshape Nirn to her will, but all I really want to see is these two reuniting

TheGibusGuy: Cool perspective! It's nice to see Quill again, it's been a bit since we've seen her on the booru.

Rick2tails: Quill looking lovely here

TempIntel: Katia's got some interesting stories to tell Quill, if/when she makes it back

Robbyn: This is very pretty, the lighting feels natural and warm.

damrok4321: That's looking very cool

TheRedStormer: trug

Auserr: Didn't think I'd ever see Katia sitting in the back of an old square body chevy. Or is it a gmc? Hard to tell with the tailgate open. Very cool art.

Jig_Bigga: Oh man, I adore every part of this

That pickup’s immaculate, and Katia is so fucking pretty oh my goodness

TheGibusGuy: I love the modern setting and detailed cars.

The short top is also very cute...

Robbyn: That's some good perspective on that car, i like the feeling of that background too.

Zoltier: this is soulful

TempIntel: Road trip vibes, also Cyrodil plate and Kvatch cafe, nice

Rick2tails: this is very cute.would love to roadtrip with her ! ^_^

Tigran_Bro: I'm always love seeing tamriel arts in modern time style

Sashimi: She works so well in that setting

APayne1776_TheThird: She's either spreading Christmas cheer or stealing stuff from other people's houses.

Radiocaster: Clearly she's giving out presents to all the good little boys and girls and ghosts and vampires and skeletons and zombies and robots and flying machines... uh, what were we talking about again?

Jig_Bigga: apologies for where my eyes went but good lord she needs to put on a pair of damn PANTS

Radiocaster: She must be cold in that outfit.... Oh wait, she has fur, nevermind.

TheGibusGuy: People leave milk and cookies, but the milk is in a saucer...

GrizzlyBear: @TheGibusGuy: Apocalypse scenario. Every house across the world will burn to the ground.
Except for those on the naughty list I guess. There’s some cruel irony for you

Zargothrax: Santa Claws

Radiocaster: It's all fun and games until someone does what my family used to do and leave out a Bud Light

Rick2tails: @Jig_Bigga she does certainly NOT need to put on pants good sir! *hurrumphs*

Jig_Bigga: @Rick2tails: You know what, you’re right! She has fur!

vsauce4: a PG version of what I made on my ipad

DarthVader: Hell yeah I do!

Rick2tails: of course cutie!

Lurci: You are the most beautiful person in all of Tamriel, so why should I not?

Dominik: "All girls are fine but all of them, except you, have the same, strong disadvantage: they are not you. "

Jig_Bigga: she’s so sweeet awwhh

compaqness: Oh gosh I forgot about Dmitri, the only character that left as fast as he was introduced :p

WassapDude94: Oh, afer half an hour, i think i found the first image and its way better than i tought it would be

Asperger_kitten_1337: Here it is, Sash- and Rick- the first post. majestic, no?

Sashimi: Love conquers!

madmanransom: November 2013. Good Christ.

TempIntel: I know this seems to be the first post here, but I wonder what the first ever prequel fanart pic was, and where? TempIntel/Spasms wuz here! o7

GrizzlyBear: @TempIntel: Might’ve been this one here, the art her adventuring outfit was originally based on

TempIntel: @GrizzlyBear: I was not expecting an actual answer ha. Where is that from is that pic from and date? (if you know?). Because I found one on deviantart https://www.deviantart.com/electromancer/art/Katia-Managan-223666099 that says "Jul 14, 2011" and one on Furaf https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6116630/ that's from the exact same date weirdly. I assume someone one posted art on 4chan or maybe mspaforum but idk, research continues...

GrizzlyBear: @TempIntel: I actually found it within the comic itself. It was a command that appeared here
https://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/201/ on March 21st, 2011. Had to have been made between then and the previous update on the 19th
I’m willing to bet it’s the very earliest prequel fanart with real effort put into it

Zeadyaer: Surprised there aren't more comments to be honest, you would think that one of the earliest posts would have a lot of "Insert name here was here" type posts.

APayne1776_TheThird: Jollymaxxing

plum: You tried your best, Katia. Cute.

TheGibusGuy: What would Katia want for Christmas? A wizard staff, a spellbook?

Yeltsa_Kcir: it's a "Fur" tree... get it.. get it?

i'll see myself out

TempIntel: @Jig_Bigga,Rick2tails: thx! I feel sometimes my draws are flat and missing certain elements
@Zargothrax: Colovian fashion never goes out of style
@TheGibusGuy: Katia only wants one thing... a big juicy

Radiocaster: @TempIntel: To eat, right?

To eat, right???

TempIntel: @Radiocaster oh yea she'll eat it, after shes done... ya know...

Radiocaster: @TempIntel: Wait, that's what you thought she did with it? Pssh, please nobody tell them the truth, they can't handle it.

Arun: So Amazing Art

Vidiotdragon: Success
