ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Typical female RPG armor..

Vidiotdragon: Yes.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Excellent work!

Geravind: "Sinner" costume. That face complements the image.

Skoon: noice

Tahrey: What the "cloak of grey tomorrow" ACTUALLY makes you look like (you just THINK it makes you invisible). Everyone is just either distracted, or chooses to look away in disgust :D

Kewot_Rokar: Rather revealing, but cute!

Tahrey: Just pretend that the quadrant design on the lower part of the leotard is white, rather than cutout...

Geravind: @Tahrey: Yes, now only full magicka well can... flush their intentions. ...With a proper hero opposed, of course.
"...but without the hero there is no Event."

D_C_N: @Tahrey: with the caliber of people who took those classes when I was there, it's more frightening than you imagine.

Someone got stabbed with a welding torch once... and yet they still get a laser.

Tahrey: Given that the Fun Thing To Do when I was having those kinds of classes was plugging LEDs into progressively higher voltage power supplies until they literally exploded (...including in some cases the AC mains - in the days before MCD breakers were common, so it didn't blow out anything on the supply side), or roughhousing around running belt sanders, bandsaws and drill-presses (or, in the case of my brother's class, turning on the bunsen burner gas taps and setting them - and everything on the desk within reach of the flame - alight), I'm not particularly surprised. Quite astonishing they allowed us within arm's length of

Tahrey: ...uh...

...arm's length of the PCB etching tanks, really, given what I now know them to have contained.

Tahrey: 5th and final spacing bump

D_C_N: What?

Tahrey: I was shoving that infernal argument down the list because I couldn't be bothered trying to explain to UziMan why his proposal to turn the usual censorship standards on their head wasn't going to wash no matter how bizarre the protests got, and I didn't want to leave it there to bother everyone else any longer either.

Seemed a better idea to bump some actual nice posts up to the top of the Dramatic Descriptions list instead.

Kazerad: @Tahrey: don't spam! That's actually spam's original meaning and function.

D_C_N: It migt be spam, but now at least my glorious metal sign is on top again ;)

Tahrey: I thought it was low quality meat full of filler and not much flavour, that quickly gets repetitive...

But, OK, I'll do my best to refrain.

It *was* in the interest of avoiding further potentially acrimonious blather that was getting us nowhere though. Wanted to bring the attention back to the actual art...

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: aww, isn't this cute!

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: :3

Tahrey: Nice :3
Clean lines, good proportions, captured the style just right.

But again they're insisting on being weird and drawing Katia as some kind of 5-fingered mutant abombination. What is this crazy fetish some artists have for polydactyly? Where will it end? Six fingers? Nineteen? MAKE THE MADNESS STOPSPORU£()_U_"M c9u-

Also, I wonder if that's the artist's real name?

unknown_victor: ASOTIL looks really sinister. Apart from that great work!

Vidiotdragon: Character Select from Tower of Doom?

http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/8/82565/2473644-925342-mamemania_dd2.jpg

compaqness: Yes! I'm glad you picked up the reference! I was thinking about how a Prequel adventure party would look like and remembered how ToD presented it's characters and thought it'd be neat draw it that way.

Though I'm not sure how likely this combination would be in the actual story :p

Kewot_Rokar: Katia and Quill's design is just amazing!

Adroma: That one imperial guard who didn't die in the breaking of the siege of Kvatch(ASOTIL) brings along his other guard comrade who then meets an alcoholic khajiit who then drags along her lesbian argonian friend on an adventure.
Diverse.

reiler12: Adventure time

Tahrey: Coming to your screens every saturday morning at 7.30am from May 14th

Tahrey: @OppoQuinn: Nah, Gaius Dad, Quill Mom, Asotil & Katia the unruly kids. Except the Bart / Lisa roles are reversed.

Tahrey: And the Marge / Homer ones too, really

Mrc_MP: I thought this was based on the resistance members of 'The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'. You know, the guys that help you at the nearly end of the game.

Kazerad: @Unidentified_BA: there are literally pink sparkles raining down around them as they hold one another by the hips.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Kazerad: Well he does have a point, it's for VDay, friends can be a valentine.

Grape: @Unidentified_BA: It was made for valentine's day, it says so in the source. On a blog where the artist admits they mostly draw gay romances.

Unidentified_BA: @Kazerad: The hip thing is the only real indicator. I mean, Sailor Moon had tons of pink backgrounds with sparkles, and I don't think that show was about shipping.

@Grape: Damn it. Alright fine, I was wrong.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: It's still a cute ship anyways.

bluedraggy: Reminds me of dance class in my Jr. High school. Yes, they used to have those. Most embarrassing class ever. Foxtrot... ONE two three, ONE two three...

Tahrey: I was thinking dance practice as well...

"What, we have to go to the Dutchess' ball? But ... I never learned to dance..."
<sigh> OK... I'll teach you ... now, put your hands here, and here...

Also, aaaaaaah my kawaii-bone, I think you fractured it ^_^

Tahrey: dangit, seems that my subconscious may have been influenced by randomly coming across this a few days ago whilst half asleep...

That is to say, here are a trio of relevant pages from a rather lengthy (heh...) Steven Universe fan comic that someone posted on their Tumblr ... quite some time ago now (so after the introduction of the HWGs but before "The Return / Jailbreak" - hence it being a speculative branching-off from before all those reveals, and having some surprisingly close parallels in places despite also being very different in others)

Oh well. It's not like it's an uncommon trope.

Tahrey: (and ditto makes three - i'll do a couple more and that should be enough to see a good set of nice posts at the top of the list and all the craziness down at the bottom or shuffled off to the inacessible void of Page Two)

Kewot_Rokar: WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGIC?!

TemporaryFace: @Kazerad: Humans are weird as fuck.

Filthypaladin: Now, let us discuss: Lizard Tit

SameButDifferent: @FilthyPaladin Serious answer: Probably no need to put the Pineapple into effect if those cold blooded lumps are exposed but not in a provocative manner. You know, with the whole "lack of nip" and everything.

Non serious answer: You'll need to draw a detailed analysis of the do's and dont's of Lizard Tit in order for me to understand the lesson, teacher.

Geravind: At last someone made something about that endless shit.

Tahrey: Lel :D

Anyway, we did agree to drop it, and leave things as they were.

(Which is fine by me, given that it leaves "Kids-TV-safe, Looney Tunes level japery" as non-questionable, and "Semirealistic naked depictions of characters that are usually clothed and cartoonish" as questionable ;)

Tahrey: Oh, and Lizard Boobs, not sure. Already had a more civil back-and-forth about it on the Disqus IIRC and didn't come to any firm conclusion.

On the one hand they may just be muscle and fat covered bony protrusions in the thorax, so technically SFW (even if your boss doesn't think so)

On the other, maybe fat stores used for making egg yolk. Which makes it maybe-maybe not

On the turning hand, may actually be like Human Boobs and therefore Questionableable.

...now I write it out, I guess the balance of judgement is towards "stick a pineapple on it".

tl;dr It's probably safest to go with "if Kaz pixelated it in the comic, it needs a pineapple on the booru". Sing it with me now...

Filthypaladin: @SameButDifferent: >Do Lizard tit

Adroma: Well, as it is in other countries, boobs are okay if not presented in a sexual manner. I found this very funny. I love playfully rebellious art that presents controversy.

Pepsidude: Awesome :o

Tahrey: > in other countries

Well, as it's a site made and curated by an American, we should probably assume American publication standards.

And, in any case, it's the internet. When publishing you should assume the most stringent widespread standards need apply, and when browsing you should assume the most lax.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: This is too Adorable, just look at her curious, care-free face!

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: it is very adorable!

Geravind: An alien in ambush, pretending to be an innocent khajiit. That tail is a plasma gun actually. (Sorry, this one is pissed off ...slightly.)

Tahrey: KHAJIIT IS INNOCENT OF THIS CR--*VWOOORP* *PCHUUUUUU*

POMA: How many layers of paper did you use to make this?

cain: 2~6 layers... It was not well I wanted more to live the three-dimensional effect. Regrettable

Geravind: Beautiful!
Reminds the "Owl" paper-mask, which this one made many years ago.

Jarofmayo: That's pretty cute.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: This is cute :O

Tahrey: Nice solidifying of @mhonnie's art :) ... got a template, or was it all freehand?

cain: Start with a template, but flowers and hair is freehand

Tahrey: nice jorb :D

Tahrey: though I was kinda hoping it was a template so I could copy you ;)

but then that would spoil the uniqueness value of yours, so it's better this way

Skoon: I need to be able to favorite things. <3

Kazerad: @Skoon: You can have favorites, you just have to do it the old fashioned way. The concept of having favorites existed before websites gave you a button.

Tahrey: :D
I think they mean in the sense of being able to assign imaginary internet points to the image in some kind of ranking system, so that the images which are liked by the largest number of users appear towards the top of a list on a whole new page on the booru.

TBH it sounds like a whole lot of coding work for something that doesn't really matter that much other than for new users to look over the somewhat newer-image-biased "greatest hits"... though, when you've the time after the merch packing and story updating is done, and you've had a few well earned brews, could you take a look at the bug on the "Dramatic Descriptions" page? ;)

Skoon: Good lord I only meant it as a compliment to the image...

Christ.

Kazerad: @Tahrey: To be honest, that feature actually exists but I disabled it. I didn't really want people competing to make the Best Image Ever or feeling discouraged when their image doesn't top the charts as high as they expected. I just want people to make things with the knowledge that someone out there will like it. Even if it's just a scratchy 2-color doodle of Katia in a shiny swimsuit, someone out there is going to hold it as one of their favorite images. Attaching a number to that fact just distracts from its inherent value.

@Skoon: NO you have made us think. This is good.

Tahrey:

...and I realise the irony of posting such an icon in response to that discussion, but still, it's meant genuinely.

Also, for the purpose of diagnostic record, what seems to be happening with the comments summary page is that it thinks page 1 and page 2 are the same thing... or something like that ... so any attempt to navigate away from page 1 lands you back there anyhow because the php or links have gone a bit caca.
