lapma: Ok, so TwistNtwirl's work inspired me to try do something more realistic, i realy liked look of faces he made for khajiit's so i made something similar. I present to you thieves guild Katia.
SlashSeven: You did it well. But tail and head have a different fluffyness. just why
Rick2tails: she looks good in that outfit! :)
XenoYparxi: ok, I think this is going nowhere... I understand that you're learning and "tracing" the things you like, but you're not going to learn without figuring stuff out and practising it on your own. maybe you should start doing something yours that you yourself own and taking drawing/stylistic cues from other pieces along the way? not just "traced" images with a few corrections
Nicros_Man: Nice outfit! Reminds me of Dark Souls. Or is it Dark Souls?
Zargothrax: @XenoYparxi: I’d say „"tracing" the things you like” is the way we develop our own style. Well, as long as we don’t actually trace, of course, just taking more inspiration from others than what then could be regarded later as „original”. I’d call it „mimicking”. Art styles rarely pop out of one’s head, it’s usually just a mixture of styles we liked and copied.
By the way, I think this comment would’ve been more impactful If you had written it under >>5782. Here, only the head is is mimicked. I wouldn't call it a "traced image". I think the worst lapma could be accused of here is „art style theft”. And if someone starts stealing your style, in my opinion that’s the biggest compliment you could recieve as an artist (save for extreme cases where you make a living from your art and someone’s trying to steal your wind). Because it means that you inspired others. It’s the equivalent of others looking up to you and saying: „I want to be like you”.
Zargothrax: There is wisdom in what XenoYparxi said though. There are ways you can impove faster. In my opinion, that is by learning and doing technical stuff. If you wan’t to go down that route I’d recommend reading the comments under >>5710.

Nicros_Man: That is so badass!
AMKitsune: In order of preference, A,C then B.
Although I have to say, I'm finding her more 'feline' face a little uncanny-valley-esque. Specifically in B and C. I think it's probably the size of her eyes and their distance to her nose and mouth more than anything. ![]() I know that this was uncalled for, but this is somewhat how I'd imagine Katia's facial proportions working in your style. Of course, this is just a personal stylistic preference/interpretation, so make of it what you will. Whatever the case, I look forward to seeing which ever of these sketches you choose to take forward.
Zargothrax: These are all absolutely fantastic!
I'm going to elect 'A', because I love flowing capes/hair and arcane badassery. Also, I just noticed (especially on C) the extra details on her nose. The wrinkles, from the nature of the expression are exactly how they should look like on felines! ![]() (I really hope the boruu dowscales this image as it's gigantic)

twistNtwirl: @AMKitsune: Thanks for taking the time to do a paint over, I'm flattered you'd take the time to help me out! :) And yea, I too got that funny, uncanny feeling when I was done drawing her too. I'll be changing her face when I paint her.

twistNtwirl: @Zargothrax: Thanks! I'm glad you noticed! Since I decided to do Katia fanart I've been sitting down in my local area studying cats play, fight, meow, hiss, it's been enlightening!

twistNtwirl: Thanks for choosing which ones you wanna see! Looks like I'll be doing 2 paintings! A and B!

PermanentFace: More like Kill Rajirra, amirite? Cause she's the one who actually left our protagonist to die after gaining our trust?
XenoYparxi: both of them!
Rick2tails: oh I see what you did with the title there
SlashSeven: Nice drawings, M8! It could be a good movie.
DOOMGUY11: Ha! you guys :)
Rajiira: I panicked :( Katia:*in disbelief* You panicked!? That's your explanation?! |

Rick2tails: Katia is looking fine here
Kavro: Awesome, wanted to see someone do this since Daystone episode 1 came out. I tried, but was just too crap at drawing to make it satisfactory.
Nicros_Man: Woooh! She looks badass!
APayne1776: Didn't know what this was until I saw the tag

Sashimi: UGH! Why does the love interest always show up at the worst time! Greats stories D! I can't wait for the next chapter!
bluedraggy: It's a trope too engrained to ignore. Maybe someday! Also, I'm going to risk oversaturation and post the next one in just a minute. On the good side, if you never read this stuff you can always ignore. Probably won't get to write again till after Xmas, but I'm going to try to get 9 up as a Christmas present. Maybe I can even put something in there as a sort-of gift.
But I'm sure 8 will keep you plenty happy, esp. if you like Quill-Weave. :) |

SlashSeven: It looks not very like a cat, more like a Chinese with big eyes, ears and tail to me D=
