AMKitsune: @Toxic: Ok, I get it now.
In that case, I'd vote for the realistic style with a caveat. Desaturated Katia still looks like she only in partial light. Perhaps see how she looks with a little desaturation, but significantly less darkening? The darkening doesn't make her look any more realistically lit to me, just darker.

Then again, this all depends on how much colour variety the environment is going to have. If areas are going to be pretty monotone, the original style might be better. If there's going to be a good amount of variety though, the more subdued, detailed look could work better.

Style wise, would I be right in saying that this is kind of like comparing the bright, cartoony style of the excelsior update to the more subdued, painterly style of the infiltrate update?

DOOMGUY11: DOOM SPRITES?!

Toxic: @AMKitsune: That comparison was exactly what I had in mind. And yes, I do plan to add a lot of variety and interaction.

Following your advice, realistic V2 has been created and will be used rather than the "realistic" shown above.

Sashimi: Awesome! So does this mean the big game project is back on track?

DOOMGUY11: If I could do a prequel mod for doom.. imagine katia going 90mph(feline agiltiy) and gunning down everything,clawing,and burning sick af!

Toxic: @Sashimi: It's back and it's gonna be better. I spent some time learning new things and have since assembled a small group to help me make this game.

Sashimi: @Toxic: That is supurb news!

DOOMGUY11: *e1m1*

Toryu-Mau: ... Looks like a nice compromise has been made between dark and gritty with pop and pretty. >):^]
The former was a bit too dark to be comfortable on the eye, so this is good to see. c^:(<

DOOMGUY11: I swear these are the coolest

Geravind: Aww... :3

Sashimi: OH, gimme,gimme,gimme! Yes, put it all on HOLLANDAISE!

scoopski: @Rick2tails: Living twice is double the lives a human has, so I'm guessing the Khajiit version would be "You Only Live 18 Times".
No wonder the Grim Reaper's so angry all the time.

bluedraggy: OMG. Thanks Scoopski. I think I have a title for a followup!

DOOMGUY11: I am eternal lol

Toryu-Mau: @bluedraggy: ... Huh? We don't get to see La'Dasha here? >):^?
Y Naut~! Injustice, I say~! D^:(<

Doprolol: Ебаный рот этого казино

Doprolol:

LuminosityXVII: I may be biased, but this whole Rajirra spy thing is the friggin coolest.

DOOMGUY11: She is still very cute I like both of these pics!

Sashimi: Really like your sketches!

Toryu-Mau: ... What is that ominous shadow looming in the distance? ... Uh oh, is that an eraser? >):^c

DOOMGUY11: That's an eraser(shadow) my fault on that

Rick2tails: poor Katia *hugs tight*

Rick2tails: this is cute btw

DOOMGUY11: I should stop I feel like I'm spamming

Rick2tails: dont stop! youll never improve if you stop drawing

DOOMGUY11: Don't worry I won't i just won't post here for a while

FFluffyFURRZY: NUUUUU SHE'LL STOP EXISTING YOU MONSTER!!

DOOMGUY11: No she's not I promise

Mezhik: I thought the author of the sketch Terça-feira, but Google translator said that Terça-feira is Tuesday

DOOMGUY11: Is being a slut a bad thing? Come on she just has a high sex drive

Rick2tails: if youre talking of Katia she was only like that because of geting drunk and having severe self confidence issues.She hated herself and figured she wasnt good for anything while drunk but doing whatever guys want to get another drink.

XenoYparxi: Doesn't change the fact that she's a slutty drunkard
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Mezhik: @XenoYparxi: and ... she's got a rifle

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @XenoYparxi: *was*

Sorry had forgotten to link it

DOOMGUY11: But is it bad?

LuminosityXVII: This feels really... raw. I feel like I can see her life's story in this one drawing, and it's not a happy one.

Well done.

Mezhik: @Atum_Doxhun: thx! @POMA: ready

Gren: Oh my... the feels ;(

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: The detail really adds to the Sadness of the picture, now, everyone, Hug her to calm her down, and stop the fires!

Geravind: =ಠ_ಠ= Her underwear looks like actual, not just painted on -- the author did not know the story?
The art looks cool anyway.

Kewot_Rokar: AMAIZING!

Kazerad: @Geravind: it's painted! They clearly implied it on the edges. It just has a different texture.

Adroma: Perfect art, wouldn't change a thing.

DOOMGUY11: This needs more attention. You have a beautiful painting

Rick2tails: I do not think those gloves fit her properly

Raydio: You know what they say about girls with big hands...

Asperger_kitten_1337: @Raydio: no, I don't

AMKitsune: @Raydio: ...big hugs?

CandyDragon: @Raydio: Are they rather... handy?

Sashimi: @Raydio: Getting a ring that fits will break the bank?

Bishop: @Raydio: Hope is not Marfan's?

EBwaffles: YOU FOOLS SHE ALREADY HAS KILLED US

Queenish: Is this a threat?

Toryu-Mau: ... Sometimes, the booru leaves me with more questions then answers.
This is one of those times. >):^/

DOOMGUY11: TOO MUCH ENGLISH MY BAD BRO XD

RoninSmall: @DOOMGUY11: My advice to you. Don't try to use russian language and don't try to understand our strange humor.

DOOMGUY11: ...ok :| just trying to be helpful with translating.

DOOMGUY11: @RoninSmall: I'm sorry I can't tell if you were being serious or kidding yourself:/

Rick2tails: I ship all 3 khajiits with myself but thats just me. On a more serious note this is cute

Doprolol: @DOOMGUY11:

Doprolol: @DOOMGUY11: В принципе...Нормально

Raydio: @DOOMGUY11: I can relate to this

DOOMGUY11: @Raydio: How come what happened?

DOOMGUY11: Idk I'm all alone now in this comment section
it's ok I'm all alone aswell

DOOMGUY11: Reminds me of roninsmalls picture is this inspired by him/her?

DOOMGUY11: If so her missing the leg is cool. I wish I could sketch like u

BlackMessa: coincidentally, eli vance is missing his prosthetic leg...

Toryu-Mau: ( Stares intently at the crosshatch shading ) >)B^]
... Time to attempt mimicking the techniques involved~ To the canvas~! ( Marches off with a pen held high to ART ) >):^D

Kazerad: @BlackMessa: She improved it! The nails give better traction!

DOOMGUY11: The one and only, Kazerad

RoninSmall: Based on: http://pictoshaman.deviantart.com/art/Katia-256103001

ZombiCat: hey, thats pretty e d g y

DOOMGUY11: Looks like she's possessed*pulls out super shotgun*there is only one exorcism I know...

RoninSmall: CatoKit often amused himself by drawing on my palette.
and then I laugh like a moron

ammurin: that uhhh, huh. Not exactly sure how to describe it. Looks cool tho.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I see
nightmare king attacking a fire raging katia while a ghostly rabbit hops in the background

Toryu-Mau: Nice transition from the cold grasp of the looming claw and into the fire, I particularly like how she seems to brake through a wall of smoke as she staggers forward.

DOOMGUY11: This is awesome RiP and Tear
