PermanentFace: What happened after 2012? There really is a clear turning point there, isn't there?

damrok4321: guys?

damrok4321: I think that's a hidden message

notabigthreat: @PermanentFace: January 2012 was the well arc, if that's what you're asking about?

@damrok4321: Meh, it really is just an average.

SilentOrbweaver: This is awesome!

Here is the cleaned up version of the average. Made by adding contrast and applying "color dodge" filter.



Also, here, I drew over the most prominent lines for easier visibility.

PermanentFace: @notabigthreat: No, I meant to wonder what happened in 2012 and 2013 that caused the rate of updates to slow down so dramatically. The first year and a half of this comic's life seems to have more pages than the following five and a half combined.

scoopski: @PermanentFace: My theory is that that's the point when it shifted gears and became something more. More refined artstyle, less of a MSPA vibe, and doing more with Flash than just adding sound to a scene.
I heard that it was also started when Kaz was in high school; it's fairly likely he'd have started college and adulthood around 2012/2013, thus leaving less time to work on the comic (even though the comic is his main source of income, he's gotta merchandise and get commissions.).

PermanentFace: If you go back and look, though, there are plenty of high-quality features and panels in the updates that occurred before then. It's not the quality that's holding it back.

Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Wait a sec, if this is <i>every</i> Prequel picture averaged out, shouldn't it have <i>EVERY</i> Booru tag?

notabigthreat: @Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Heh, go ahead?

DOOMGUY11: :^)

RoninSmall: @DOOMGUY11: \о/

DOOMGUY11: Fallout:Cyrodil

RoninSmall: @DOOMGUY11: Meow Max

DOOMGUY11: I'm gonna post something similar soon

Toryu-Mau: ... That is one decked out War Kat, M8. >)':^/

DOOMGUY11: I still come back to see this pic it's satisfying

DOOMGUY11: Bartender
Level 2 armor
"Ditch the club and crossbow! have a flintlock, sword, and dagger!"(might do lvl 3

DOOMGUY11: Maybe the praetor suit for max? Lvl 5?

Rick2tails: this is awesome Doomguy11! ^_^

Toryu-Mau: ... Stehngir could have some more protein, M8. A couple of PB&J sandwich maybe? No, make that a doezen and and add milkshake. Gotta square up, son! D^:(<
And free handing straight lines on objects can end up looking wonky and continue at odd angles when obscured behind objects in the foreground, so using a ruler to put a temporary line before committing to drawing the actual outline would help with continuity. >):^]

DOOMGUY11: Now I thought he was a sticc boi but he's more built in other pics(so idk).and the sword oof and dagger*oof once more * no ruler of the time buy I DoD keep it in mind

DOOMGUY11: His size seems to vary and I have to improvise a ruler for now

Sashimi: @Mikeyboi: And the rain will kill us all.....

Mikeyboi: @Sashimi: throw ourselves against the wall

Sashimi: @Mikeyboi: But no one else can see....

Mikeyboi: @Sashimi: the preservation of the martyn in me

Sashimi: @Mikeyboi: PYSCHOSOCIAL,PYSCHOSOCIAL,PYSCHOSOCIAL!

Mikeyboi: @Sashimi: you my good friend are a legend

Sashimi: @Mikeyboi: Naw, U.

DOOMGUY11: I just played the song and jeez this picture got knocked into 12gear

DOOMGUY11: "THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!"

Toryu-Mau: ... ( Gutteral piercing wails of mortal suffering~! ) D^':(<

Rick2tails: this is cute! :)

madmanransom: hmmmm
hmmmmmmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
is good
good piece
yes
sehr gut

damrok4321: Awwww I want to gave her strong hug <3

Toryu-Mau: ... There's just something about illustrations from a Korean artist one can immediately tell, though I may be biased from familiarity.

AMKitsune: This Katia has a very 'plushy' look to her. Almost as if you could just pick her up and give her a big, squeezy hug.

DOOMGUY11: Reminds me of a chibi

Odes: @MrCoopy: because thats an odd thing to "discuss"

Asperger_kitten_1337: @MrCoopy: yup, that's 12 barely visible pink pixels

Sashimi: @MrCoopy: Just enough to make it lewd!

Sykes: Can I get some context for this?

Sashimi: @Sykes: See my reply to streetwind.

Sykes: @Sashimi Is there any way to be linked this fic?

Sashimi: @Sykes: Not as of yet, it's still a work in progress.

Meow-mix-king-44: @Kazerad why is Rajirra naked in the woods?

Sashimi: @Meow-mix-king-44: This is a pic kaz did for a fanfic story of mine. My above reply to Streetwind gives the explanation behind this scene.

DOOMGUY11: Beautiful khajiit

fastolaf: son-hearst

forestOverlord: @fastolaf: Haha.

gpainfox55:

Toryu-Mau: ... Hmm... I wonder if Khajiits have nursery rhymes specific to their culture. >):^?
Hopefully theirs doesn't contain veiled sinister messages and oddly disturbing implications like Human nursery rhymes from the medieval period tends to do. >):^\
The funny thing is, people keep singing these ancient rhymes even though they are hundreds of years old and totally out of context for 21st century instead of composing new ones.
( And no, I am not inciting people to sing "Donald Trump sat on The Wall." )

WassapDude94: Hey, this could be a fanart ish reason for Rajirra leaving katia when the imp murderboss came, she was scared to die and leave her son alone and orphan, without a mother at a young age, that is, if this happens before prequel.

WassapDude94: Actually nevermind the last thing i said, i just read the first comment

Sashimi: @WassapDude94: Ooo, dang, that's not bad! The reason in my story is a little different, though it does involve her child. I may have to make a modification if you don't mind my using that idea, in one form or another.

bluedraggy: @Toryu-Mau: Here's one. I can do more!

Asperger_kitten_1337: @bluedraggy: what about the jungle kittens?

DOOMGUY11: Is that rajiira with katia? If so see if I can find them at dunes near by

Gobarski: Making a cat grumpy the adventure

Rick2tails: what happened to such a beautiful young Khajiit?

Asperger_kitten_1337: @Rick2tails: shit
some really deep shit

Sashimi: @Rick2tails: trauma and loss.

Asperger_kitten_1337: @Sashimi: the same reason handsome Jack became "handsome"

Sashimi: @Asperger_kitten_1337: So if I were to suffer trauma and loss, perhaps I too would be "handsome".

Asperger_kitten_1337: @Sashimi: and there is a possibility you become a mass murdering psychopath, but yeah

Sashimi: @Asperger_kitten_1337: Yeah, best not to be that kind of "Handsome"then.

Toryu-Mau: @Asperger_kitten_1337: Well, Sociopathy is a profitable life skill if you pair it with glamour.
The down side being sociopaths are practically dead husk of a scarred mind parading around as a living person with a facade of nonexistent care.

DOOMGUY11: Night time is good aswell

Raydio: I was a huge fan of her character tbh, and would love to see a hate-love friendship between her and katia

realbboy: @Sashimi: To be honest I don't think there's much you can do to make me sympathize with a character that mocks Katia for preparing, then "rats out" (that's roughly the caption her running away is giving in the flash), bars the door so Katia can't escape dying to the imp (she has so little respect for Katia and almost certainly expected her to die), and then flat out lies to the shopkeeper, which stops the shopkeeper from getting help or the fighter's guild guy from going up to help/save Katia.

I honestly don't know what she was expecting. If Katia dies then someone is eventually going to find out, and possibly get hurt in the process. She also incriminated herself by talking to the shopkeeper. So she either plans to skip town and get a new identity, or she's not that smart.

If she had actually gone to get help, she would have returned with that help by the time Katia finished messing around trying to get out and shopping.

Still, I look forward to reading your fanfic. Not everything has to line up with canon to be good, in fact the best fanfics usually diverge from it.

MetalC0Mmander: @AMKitsune: @Asperger_kitten_1337: Oh god no. This is terrible and unatural... Uncanny valley anyone?

Sashimi: @realbboy: Well it sounds like I've got a challenge on my hands! I better get back to writing, but she's not an evil character, it's not like she intended to betray Katia, it's only after things went wrong with the huge imp appearing, that she freaked out and ran. She was terrified and not thinking clearly. Kaz even confirmed that in a recent stream. If she had known about the other imp and kept her wits about her, I'm believe things would have been quite different.

Sashimi: Dang, I just went back and checked my writing, I forgot the flower bracelet!

Sashimi: I just learned something about the significance of a flower worn by the ear today, apparently in Hawaiian culture, if it's worn on the left, it means the lady is married, or otherwise unavailable. If it's on the right, then she's approachable. I had no idea of any significance as to what side it should be on when this was made, but it actually works for the purpose of the story that it's on the left, as she's involved with someone.

Raydio: @Sashimi oolala

Sashimi: @Raydio: Oh yes.

Sashimi: @MetalC0Mmander: I'm hoping that you're being facetious because U.V.? Not hardly! This is pure magnificence!

DOOMGUY11: Oh no

FriendOfFennecs: Those darn evil twins get you every time.

Furomone: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: On it

DoubleTapMaster: Damn...

Pronin: KONO EBIL KAZERAD DA!

picartosux: This is truly the darkest timeline.

Makkon: The snark is getting more advanced

GoodIdeasAreOverrated: @Makkon: I know, right?
@Furomone: This is fucking great. You're great.

Furomone: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: Aw, thanks man. I love your art too!

Also your prompts are the most interesting.

Yay for mutual greatness!

Toryu-Mau: I take my eyes off the scene for one week and this happens... .

I like what these eyes are seeing.

DOOMGUY11: Oof
