Adroma: @-Uzi_Man-: Well I mean it was just uncalled for and a bit inappropriate especially the way you said it, it just seemed...dehumanizing? I know she's a "cartoon character" and all but still it's this part of the fandom that makes me just not want to go on online forums. Sure everyone is free to express their sexuality & or sexual desires it's just that some people just don't appreciate it.

- Reply
AMKitsune: @MikeyTheFox: I'm not sure... Whatever it is, I never meant to this to happen!
@-Uzi_Man-: As Adroma said, while you're completely free to express your feelings for fictitious cat people, try seasoning your vocalisations with a pinch of restraint and dash of dignity. We have all sorts of people here, many of whom may find your unbridled honesty a little... disconcerting.
(and yeh, we get the pun. It's just a little too thinly veiled)
- Reply
-Uzi_Man-: @Adroma: With all due respect, I thnk that you're exaggerating a bit. It's fine to feel attached to a cartoon character, but really: everything you can think of can be someone's fetish, and there's no escape from that, so it's best to not give it much importance. Besides, Katia is naked on this picture so there is more invitation for, uh, a few sexual remarks.

But anyway, like @AMKitsune: said, I'll try to choose my words more carefully. I come from 4chan anyway, so I'm... sort of used to read (and make) these type of comments.

- Reply
Adroma: @-Uzi_Man-: That doesn't mean I have to like it. She's vaginaless as well so I don't even know how you'd do that. There are some disgusting fetishes don't try to tell me I have to be comfortable with all of them.

- Reply
ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Adroma: I have to agree with you, I see to many people in the fandom who just see's her as an object for their desire. Not much we can do about it unfortunately. I just try to ignore most of that stuff, stick to what I believe.

"I want to romance that cat!"

Yes my name is literal, Katia is my waifu, and I am just very protective. My goals are to flood all the "eh" art, with "dawww" art.

@TemporaryFace: I can't deal, it's so unfair. Also it's moving so fast...

Mainly though I'm just bitter that I work at something that dares to call itself a university but it doesn't have a 3DP in the art/design/technology department yet. They're still messing around with paper straws and cardboard discs, and the odd USB-to-serial-to-GPIO interface box that's the size of a DVD player.

Maybe I should recommend they get one ... and a CNC machine ... and a laser cutter :D

The_Pitiful_Writer: @Tahrey: Ahah. xD Well I have even less faith in newspapers now then! I got a neat tablet around early January, and had never really done the whole drawing thing before then other than quick doodling here and there, so I pretty much float on the whole "F you all, I don't actually know how to do this"-cloud for most of the things I post. Still, glad to hear it isn't a COMPLETE trainwreck nontheless. :P Bored people with flash skills sounds like the best plan until then. And kudos to you for owning an Atari! :D

Tahrey: lol... more my parents' fault, though I did badger them for that brand (...as there was an 800 at school which had Donkey Kong on it ... don't think we ever did get a version of that for the ST).

Tahrey: You're like about the sixth or seventh person to actually figure it out, weirdly. My dad thought it was something written backwards back when I actually shared non-realname internet handles with IRL people, and he's the one who bought the damn computer...

Also, I haven't tied !realname to it here (it may be guessable, but I'd ask that you don't try, as it's not going to be of interest in any case) so there's that...

You know the hardest thing has actually been trying to come up with some kind of surname to use with it that doesn't sound completely shit?

Anyway...
@MetalC0Mmander: Slight problem there in that the SNES was made by Nintendo, not Atari. And was an early 90s games console not a mid 80s home computer.

*finally gets around to googling after all these years*

Hm, seems there's a couple of unofficial conversions ("Kid Kong" and "Monkey Business") that are reasonably well known, but no official conversion. Such was the fate of a lot of early 80s arcade games, they got conversions to the 8-bit platforms but after the console crash everyone assumed 16-bit computer users wouldn't be interested in owning, much less buying conversions of those older games, so your only recourse was often to quite poor, copyright-flauting public domain or shareware versions. But, hey, anything's better than nothing.

Finally got to replay the A800 version at a retro-tech and chiptune music fest a couple years ago, and it's still a damn good version of the game, even with the limited resolution and so-on. Very playable. Tough as nails but the controls are spot on even though you have to use a squidgy VCS joystick.

AMKitsune: @katiaaitak: Despite what many may say, tracing can be (and often is) a good way to memorise certain styles of drawing (which can later be adapted into a style more of your own) and get comfortable with a particular medium, be it pen and paper or digital.

You can almost think of it as the artistic equivalent of stabilisers (or 'training wheels' as they're sometimes called). In time, you'll find yourself relying on direct references less and less until you eventually find yourself not needing them at all.

One thing that I would suggest though, when remaking or creating something that's heavily inspired by someone else's work, it's generally good practice to be as upfront about it as possible. I've found that a great way to go about that is to both credit the original artist and provide a link to their original image. While some people will understand that you're using images like this to improve your abilities, there are many people out there who'll jump on it for being a rip off (in the actual sense, not the tongue in cheek sense that we have here as a tag).

By doing this, your viewers would be left with no doubt what your intentions were when creating your image.

On a personal note, I usually try to get the permission of an artist who's work I'm working on/editing before I upload my version. I'm not certain that this is necessarily needed, but given that the work's mainly that of the original artist (in my eyes at least), I prefer to make sure that they know and are OK with someone else uploading their own version of the original work. So far, I feel that I've been extremely fortunate with everyone I ask saying yes so far. It would seem that most people are OK with it as long as you offer to be open and transparent about the derivative nature of your image. Again though, that's just something that I choose to do out of respect to the original artist. How you go about it would be entirely up to you.

Also, that's some nice clean lineart and colouring there. What program are you currently using?

katiaaitak: @AMKitsune: thank you so much for your encouraging words, it really really REALLY helps a lot :))))). I'll take your advice into consideration. And to answer your question I use procreate on iPad.

Tahrey: I can't criticise anyone for tracing, so long as they don't try and claim something as their own original creation after doing so. It's useful for using something as a base for an altered fanwork, or to uprez something that's pixeled or otherwise low definition using vectors, etc... Done enough of my own before to make better looking images from poor sources, and many other things besides.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @POMA: Instead of criticizing on how /bad/ it is, how about giving them advice?

- Reply
POMA: Ehhh, advi-i-i-ice. Okay, what you do here is completely wrong. Drawing is, essentially, just a bunch of lines - straight and curved - so the first thing you have to learn is how to draw them. And the best thing to learn it is spend some quality time drawing spheres and cubes. There are a lot of teach-yourself material about it on the internet. Also complete retrace won't teach you anything but retracing, you better try to copy image by occasionally peeking at original or build a skeleton off the image - it'll help you understand how the bodies work.

MikeyTheFox: @POMA: I taught myself how to draw by tracing and editing images :V

I ain't proud of it but that's how I got to where I was today.

Radian: @MikeyTheFox: @kamperkiller: But it's bad way to learn :( I think tracing should be
considered only for very beginner and better get rid of it as earlier as possible.

@Tahrey: Yes, but 10min of line\circle\ellipse practice is a good warn up.

- Reply
Pepsidude: I've traced in the past to learn the flow and motions of certain shapes, it isn't a bad way to learn necessarily. Granted, I did not upload mine, but still. People are going to learn all in different ways. Seriously, people who are JUST starting shouldn't get too much flak for tracing.

The Prequel Fandom has become a lot less friendly over the past few years. Mostly cause of people like POMA and such, being on high horses and such. If you act like that it could discourage people from trying to draw. It almost made me quit a few times, and it's made me quit prequel art almost altogether.

I've personally taken time to talk to starting artists and given them helpful advice rather than being an asshole to them. You'd be surprised how much people improve with positive reinforcement. That's something most of the fandom is unaware of these days.
