seajay3647: Oh it's certainly possible that I visited a certain site to find reference pics of a nude Katia. It's also possible that this site's url consisted of a letter followed by three numbers.

Man_Of_Mer: Wait a minute. Isn't this from Goyte?

Man_Of_Mer: *Gotye

Kazerad: @seajay3647: She is naked in like half the comic panels! I don't think you actually needed to do that research.

Sasquatch_boote: @Kazerad don't question the boy's motives; you can never do enough research. He has a healthy does of curiosity, and such a hunger for knowledge should be encouraged so that we may fuel the development of our future generations. Also, world peace and all that jazz.

Kewot_Rokar: @Kazerad: Well, when she has the brown paint on, you sort of forget about it.

seajay3647: @Kazerad Ah, but that dumb blur truly interferes with boob drawing research.

Shirleycurly: When are you going to put up the Katiafication of the song? I need to be contacted with this asap to add it in my life :)

Nefel: But you didn't have to LOOOOOCK THE DOOOOR
Run out like our team never happened and that we were nothing
Though I don't even need your help
But you treat me like a failure and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to STEAAAAAL MY ROOOOOPE
Your racial stereotypes really hurting our friendship
I guess that I don't need that though
You were a top-tier waifu, now you're just a ho

korblborp: @Nefel: hah!

CaptainLackwit: It is great art though/

Kazerad: I deleted all the comments about the artist's Accidental Previous Upload so we can just pretend that never happened.

Itriedmanitried: awesome!...and that beach is a shark...awesome!

tronn: Huh. It's pretty and not scatological at all! Who has jacked Scrubby's account?

MetalC0Mmander: @Kazerad: We can pretend but our heart will always know the truth. But seriously, what do you care if people are commenting about accidental upload?

KillerfishSG: About time, huh?

Mediocre_Scrublord: @killerfish ?

Grape: The evidence may be removed but let us all remember in our hearts what happened here

Radian: we know

korblborp: i don't know

FoxicWaste: Cry la cry

KillerfishSG: *Gulp*

Yugjak: @ FoxicWaste: Yus.

In the mean time I am still waiting to see someone animate this.

!

Even better, animate Katia AND Ryuko fighting together like this.

Mass anemia and loving it.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I don't know what life fibers are, but I know wife fibers when I see them.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Feed the little one cake!

Fralex: Wheee, there are Katmojis now!

Fralex: Ugh, I just wanna pinch her little cheeks.

Nyflex: Uh, anyone who manages the website, I have a question. Can I replace an image? I added a milk mustache on her face and I want to shere it!

AMKitsune: @Nyflex: Sure. The best way to usually request a replacement is to use the 'report image' button over to the left (that way, all moderators get notified of it). Just mention that you'd like the image replaced and include a link to wherever you're hosting the new version (dropbox, imgur, another art site or anything like that).

Nyflex: @AMKitsune: Thanks! I sent the report as the way you informed. Hope I did it correctly

AMKitsune: @Nyflex: You certainly did. Before I go ahead and replace it though, are you aware that your new version over on DA is smaller that this one here? Just thought I should bring that up in case it's unintentional.

Nyflex: @AMKitsune: Sorry that my answer was slow. Yes, it's okay!

Kewot_Rokar: If only the emotes were on Steam
Also, FANTASTIC WORK!

Kewot_Rokar: Just realized this, but that bottle looks like an estus flask. Is she dead Jim?

Makkon: I was sort of expecting to be able to upload 2 images in one post, but this works too I guess.

I much prefer the lines over the actual painting, the character's faces still retain clear shapes.

Vidiotdragon: Its a sad trade off I've noticed when doing digital work. I have no idea how to make it balanced.

Makkon: @Vidiotdragon: Normally I'm able to get back some of the expressiveness of the lines back when I'm in the paintover stage of rendering, but it was 5am by the time I got there on this one. Didn't work out the way I planned.

MikeyTheFox: Artist changed to SentientSocks.

VashTheStampede: Yes

Dugar: hawt

Rinrhajii: @Gren: I hate to be a wet blanket, but I hardly count the oct/31st update an 'update'. It was just a couple images to sate us since the last one was in JULY! (10 months ago)

Cereal: Well, it's mostly out of the merchandise and stuff, so once everyone gets their pineapple goodies Kazuhira can start working on the comic again.

Gren: @TemporaryFace: Good ol' times... Such marvelous golden age has faded long ago and likely we will never experience it again.
Nowadays we are lucky when we get an update per month, and that's an insane amount of time considering this comic is mostly a writing fanfiction... so when shit like this happen and you got to wait half a year well... it's really disappointing.

Gren: @Rinrhajii: Well, we also got 2 side stories, I guess that counts too.

Gren: @Cereal: Dude, I know he's been busy with that stuff, and I really have nothing against him making money out of his work. The thing is he can't put the comic on ice for half a year, that's really stupid cause that's like sabotage his own creation. Regular readers will stop reading this thing eventually and new readers are unlikely to be fond of non regularly updated comics. So it's all directly proportional: less updates = less readers = less money you can make out of them.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I think he over did himself with the merch, perhaps he should have done it in waves of smaller volumes?

D_C_N: Merch aside, I personally would prefer slower good updates, as opposed to a bunch of fast, meh ones.

Besides, coming up with Ideas for good story progression takes time. A bunch of time. And then there is executing the idea, sometimes scrapping it and starting over. And then there is a art. And sometimes gifs.

And that's not even taking into acount anything else that may be going on at the time. In this case, a bunch of merch that needs to be shipped.

Besides, is it really fair to not want Kazerad to take on a big project "between updates" since unless he kills Katia, or ends the comic, he'll always be in between the last update, and the new one.

That's just my opinion, idk, maybe I'm just an idiot who likes to hear themselves speak, or read themselves... type.

Gren: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: What worries me is that this is going to keep happening over and over again. Every year the comic progress slower and slower and these projects do nothing but deepen the problem. I really don't want to sound like a bitch, but six months is damn way too much. And i'm calling it, next year we'll have the same shit over again and we won't have other choice but wait month after month like idiots. If he refuses to further any progress in the story during those campaigns then why he can't be smart enough to have some backup... you know, some pre-made chapters that he can easily post every so often, at least one per month, giving some rest to people's anxiety while he can focus every effort in the merch and shipping.
But no... that's not his style. He just expect people to forget about those insane hiatus with a stupid flash minigame, that's why he did it again even when he said next time he wouldn't mix large updates with these big projects. He lies about flash updates actually not requiring that much time to do and assuring it's like 80-90 percent finished, and then BAM, half year of waiting. Somehow i don't think is fair for the fans, regardless of the waiting, the fact that the author is dishonest with his audience it's just not right.

Gren: @D_C_N: Well, of course everyone has their own opinion in the matter, I am not pretending to be the voice of the fandom.
In my case at least, I got hooked to the story with those short but faster updates and to me they not seemed mediocre at all. Actually, the fast pace made me feel involved in the story, it seemed much more interactive back then and was easier to grow fond of the character since the story is like a part of your life when updates with such frequency.
Don't get me wrong, I do like flash updates, those animations and minigames are really cool and somehow allows the reader to interact with the character in a much more personal way. However, the way that's affecting the progression of the story is a serious issue. Every year the pace decreases, we've been stuck in Kvatch since years when half of the story happened solely in the first year. That's why I think they aren't worth the wait. I think people is more interested to know what happens next rather than a minigame they'd likely play a couple of times and then won't touch it ever again. And if that wasn't enough, these campaigns can only worsen the situation.
BTW I don't have idea what you mean in your fourth paragraph. The "big project" I mentioned was the merchandising campaign, I'm not asking him anything but to update the comic.

TemporaryFace: @D_C_N: I agree that slow, good updates are better than fast, mediocre ones. But there's slow and then there's biannual.

RoninSmall: @Radian: хочу только сказать что не хочу более заниматься этим рисунком после целого дня паранойи и исправления линий до дыр на бумаге. Это, кстати, причина почему я потянулся его в цифре делать. Критики не просил, потому что знал что ты прийдешь в любом случае с:

RoninSmall: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Katia's ears like radars, her instantly contuses :D But seriously, I do not suffer hearing loss. two months listening the noise-rock should be prolonged headache(1 or 2 weeks), and then I was able to listen to any destructive music except noisecore and coprogrind. but I stuns a couple of times a week

Vidiotdragon: So when do we get a epic rock Prequel Band?

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @RoninSmall: I have tinnitus, but that was from shooting with out hearing protection.

RoninSmall: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: trust me, this thing useless

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @RoninSmall: Tis not useless!

RoninSmall: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu:
okey. but, if you want, i can give you one video from Hassle fest. for understanding why tis absolutly useless

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @RoninSmall: I think there is a misunderstanding here, what is useless?

RoninSmall: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I do not know. I have long not understand what we talk about, but do not say it

SameButDifferent: @RoninSmall it's okay, we all do that

Streetwind: The detail in everything is fantastic. This needs to become featured, stat!

Makkon: I agree with the featured request.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Even when she is bad ass, she is still adorable. The purrfect distraction.

Aetol: @SomeShadyGuy: it's really sloppy though, not even a traduction... it should be "Mul(aag) Ahrk Ahkriin".

Bhoren: @Aetol: yeah, I could have checked the real draconic words but since this text is for decoration purpose, I only used the english words. I regret it a bit now.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Its cool so little errors don't matter!

Nyflex: My drawing skill is not even close to it..

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Nyflex: But, its so cute....!

Bhoren: @Nyflex: It's funny, I say it a lot too when I look at a few artists' art, such as Makkon's. :)
Your drawing skills are better than you think ! You did a really good facial expression I'm unable to draw (I have a lot of trouble with faces...) and you transferred a feelings to peoples who watched your picture ! Look at the comments, all saying it is adorable ! It got featured even, which does not happen often ! :)

My drawing skills are probably not as high as you think ! I take a overly huge amount of time (can be months when I procrastinate) to do only one picture and I annoy a lot of people around me to see if I'm doing something right or not !
Also, my drawing skills where surely not close to what they are now when I started drawing ! for example, you can see my first attempt at lighting. I had so much trouble with nose and eyes that I eventually hid them with the helmet. The armour is flat and does not compare with the one you can see above ! It's only after drawing for a long time and with training that I eventually slowly got better.

If you feel the need to improve your drawing skills, then continue to draw and train yourself, you can only improve and get better and better.

Nyflex: @Bhoren: So much good information and cheering words... I'm touched by your comment!
I understand how much effort you have put in your picture because once I tried to draw detailed pictures just like yours. I remember I messed up every drawings shortly after beginning cause it was really hard to carry on. After the failures, I started to draw something really easy and simple ones that never can fail.

You are now going a hard way but I believe soon you will catch up the good artists you are admire because you are showing the progress. I can't spend enough time to practice drawing because there are another things to do. But, yeah. I will never stop drawing better and more. I admire your patient! If I had it, maybe my drawing skills were improved lot more by now. You know, earnestness is definitely a talent that only a few have! So, keep up the good work ;)

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Pea's are the worst fruit!

Nyflex: Quill is observing Katia's life to write a new novel about lower class stories. She bets the next novel will bring fortune and fame to her once again.

Fralex: What's that book say? "How to Buy a Co-"
Also your monogram is cute.

The_Pitiful_Writer: @Fralex: Hee.. Thank you! I am very proud of my cleverness regarding the monogram. :D The book she is reading, is of course "How to buy a Cocaine"

The_Pitiful_Writer: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I know, right?
