AMKitsune: That glass must just be for show. There's no way she could have been drinking any kind of booze and kept that 'I'm evil and serious about it' look.
Katia does not make for a dignified drunk.
Either that or she just hasn't had any yet XD

Tahrey: Dude, it's just water.

Geravind: @Tahrey: Because it's not crossed out for us, yes?

Tahrey: Also it's pale blue.

MetalC0Mmander: @Tahrey: some cocktails are pale blue. Some are even god damm rainbow. Look it up. https://www.google.ca/search?q=blue+curacao&biw=1680&bih=886&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjp7f_jybrKAhVC7D4KHaq_DMsQ_AUIBigB

Tahrey: Yeah, but Blue Curacao is bleh, as are the majority of blue cocktails. They also have a far too high risk of containing either Blue WKD, or Blue Aftershock. I'm sure Katia would never be so low cla-----

No wait she totally would be.

But whatever, they're relatively rare compared to, yknow, water, and in the setting it's most likely that's what it is. Or some kind of magical potion of enhance charisma in order to boost her mind control powers.

And I've actually had a rainbow cocktail before ... it was fairly cool, but neither the strongest nor the best tasting, despite what I'd been told on both fronts. Merely pretty, up until the point where you'd drunk more than about a quarter of it, whereupon everything got a bit muddled.

Similarly the multi-layer coffee cocktail they serve at a beach bar my dad frequents (now he's fled the country for somewhere warmer and cheaper to live, albeit bloody expensive to get to for visiting), can never remember the name of it, something complex and spanish... Layers each of espresso (maybe even ristretto?), condensed milk, cream and a local syrupy liqueur (not in that order!), making a very interesting set of coloured bands a bit like a geological soil core covered in snow. But that doesn't last beyond the original mordre d'oeil, as you're MEANT to muddle it up quite vigorously before drinking...

...um. I think I might have digressed somewhat.

Arcsome: @Tahrey: The drink can be anything from water to dragon pass. Just know it's a drink meant for a mistress.

Arcsome: Lol I meant dragon piss

Geravind: @Arcsome: Does that misterious "Dragon pass" label means hurring a person up to the toilet after drinking it?
Why "Dragon pass"? Because you're damn scared, when a dragon passes nearby!

Arcsome: @Geravind: lol. That Last pun was so lame it was funny.

stupid_smelly_greedy_cat_people: NOW IN COLOR

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: omg :D yes

CaptainLackwit: Oh wow

Olaffson: I say this should be the next Featured Masterpiece, the level of detail is mind blowing.

somnivagrious: Oh I was gonna upload this here but you beat me to it haha!! My mind is still being exploded over how cool it is that someone else colored one of my drawings ;u;

Tahrey: TEAMWORK

Yewty: I love it. I love the fantasy feel to it- looks like it could be a tapestry. I just love it.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Yewty: It kinda reminds me of those really old story books that put a lot of attention to detail on the pictures.

Arcsome: The detail. It's... too...strong. I'm dying. So amazing. !!!HELP!!!

gu-dao-zhao-yan: XD

妙！妙！妙！
妙不可言
妙语解颐
妙不处传

MANAMEISVIKTORREZNOV: Nice

Man_Of_Mer: That explains the hiatus.

tronn: It's funny because it's true!

MetalC0Mmander: So now that the animation on the main page has updated can we expect a new on here too?

Tahrey: I call having given up pushing the wardrobe and just fallen asleep sitting against it.

Tahrey: ...or maybe just riding a push-scooter

Yewty: ahahaha

Tahrey: very expressionist ^_^

Geravind: Did Katia run away from a hospital after being injured during the Kvatch Mages Guild infiltration?
Oh, sorry, this one is stupid.

John_Medina: Good job, she looks adorable!

Kewot_Rokar: Well done!

Geravind: Strong side wind indoors? It's strange...
Her face is too round and... asian? But it's adorable anyway.
Purple computer and lighting with torches, hah!

CaptainLackwit: When you release that fart and it's silent.

Geravind: @Geravind: Damn! Pink computer. This one mistook the word.

Tahrey: Wellllll there's often a fair bit of overlap between the two dependent on dialect and personal opinion etc, so, don't sweat it.

Brenuceslu: @John_Medina: Thanks!

Brenuceslu: @Geravind: I was thinking it looked windy when I first started drawing, funny enough. Then, I sort of forgot and it became an indoor scene somehow. Maybe it's just drafty? Like- really, really drafty. Haha

Geravind: @Brenuceslu: If the building is half-ruined (the torch implies that), wind is okay. But then the computer is powered by magic of Dmitry's spirit. Oh! Poor Katia.

Arcsome: Daaaaaaaaaw to cute

Geravind: Very few visible facial details... but it's supposed to look cute, kinda.

Lekisceon: @Geravind Yea... I might have gone overboard with the blur tool. Im still a n00b at doing this style. Will definitely try to improve one the next one. Thanks for the Input
@Armored-Struggle-Wagon @Arcsome Thanks~ ^^

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: It is very good work, though I think the shading and blurriness could be a tad off. But it's nothing to worry about :3

Lekisceon: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Thanks.... Though I think Ill take a break from drawing right now. This is really not up to my standard in the slightest. I'll go revisit the arwork from my mentor and hopefully will return with a better one.

Yet, do you guys think that I should give Katia some hair? ^^ (Will be experimenting if you think that adding hair will make her cuter.)

KillerfishSG: @Lekisceon: yes try hair :D

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Lekisceon: I think she looks cute either way hence my name :v.

Geravind: @Lekisceon: She has some hair right here. If you mean longer hair, diffurrent variants are appreciated!

Tahrey: I think this is pretty cool overall, and particularly the way you've used shading to suggest the shape of her face (and fur, and the folds of the cloak... and fingers) without any actual outlines is A1.

Tahrey: ...the one thing I would say is I think you put her ears on backwards ;) (which is hopefully an easy fix)

Tahrey: Because it's a really simple finger painting and all this time she was bigging up how great an artist she is? It does say "Platonic" on it after all.

FistHombre: I'm the one who sent you that note on DA(or one of the ones who did), and I just want to reiterate that I think your style is fantastic. Are you going to try your hand at making Quill as well? I'd love to see an argonian character in this style!

Boogeestro: @Fisthombre: Of course I can! I've got a little less practice with lihzahds, so I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

AMKitsune: I love how you drew Katia here. Sufficiently 'noodle limbed' enough to be on model with her original design yet detailed and expressive enough to stand out as belonging to your style.

... The sketch portion of the picture isn't bad either XD

Tahrey: Also, #got_the_hands_right.

One million points to hufflepuff.

Kewot_Rokar: @Tahrey: GRIIIIFFIIINDOR!

Tahrey: @Kewot_Rokar Ravenclaw superior.

Man_Of_Mer: If a mod could answer; can this site handle .swfs? Or are .gifs the best way to go?

AMKitsune: @Man_Of_Mer: It most certainly can! Gifs are generally compatable with more devices, so if you've got a small looping animation, the gif format may be better for some people. For anything else though, Flash away!

Tahrey: At least until browsers stop supporting it next year, allegedly.

8Aerondight8: @Geravind: Well you're right about the eye, but the fingers... I'm not seeing it.

Radian: @8Aerondight8: I don't see strange fingers, but I see Katas's hands are slightly different size.
Also QW's hands too small, I think.

Tahrey: They do seem a bit long and spindly, though that might just be because I'm expecting stubbier, more feline dimensions...

Tahrey: (there's also too many of them, which adds to the freakiness... ;)

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Tahrey:
@Geravind: Those are just her ligaments, which allow you to actually move your fingers, they just intersect oddly, leading to a 'all finger, no palm' look.

Tahrey: *zooms* ... ah, see, the largest monitor I have is 19", and no more than 1440 wide or 1024 high. That detail got a bit smushed.

They still look quite long anyway, though at least not unnaturally so. Just at the long end of normal.

8Aerondight8: @Tahrey: "long end of normal"- sums me up pretty neatly.

8Aerondight8: The more I look at this, the more flaws I find... Oh well guess I'll have to put a bit more effort into the next one.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @8Aerondight8: We all still think it looks amazing, don't bwe hard on yourself >:O

Tahrey: @8Aerondight8: *chucklesnort*

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: A commission I got at MFF, thanks to Talenshi!

POMA: This is really cool but I can see Katia beign so fat. No offence to artist but I had to make this -http://i.imgur.com/javOcRZ.jpg ; just for my mental health.

POMA: oh uploaded mid-done edit, this one is final - http://i.imgur.com/eTlZQWC.jpg

Geravind: @POMA: Accordingly to these arms/legs her waist should be even thinner. The weird kangaroo's head scares this one a bit, but these facial details are interesting.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: You guys are thinking to hard, she did this in a realistic art style.

Tahrey: I think they're misinterpreting. She looks tubby because the actual outline of her right-hand side from upper thigh to lower bust is obscured by the scroll. The eye then follows the line formed by the scroll itself which makes you think she's somewhere between obese and pregnant, but that's merely an illusion.

One would suggest that a small alteration to the layout so the scroll lies in a slightly different position might be wise, but that might mean a deceptively large amount of work at this stage.

What I want to know is why she has so many fingers, I mean, that's just weird. Mutant Katia! ;)

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Tahrey: Cause she was drawn to look like a /real/ khajiit :v. The artist I commissioned only did realistic art. So I was like what the hell why not.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: But yea, it's just the scroll keeping you from seeing the end of her belly, some shading might help with that.

Tahrey: ah, so the game characters have 5-digit hands ... right :)

Tahrey: And, well, she's probably still fairly well built, but this looks like it might be a little in the future when she's doing a bit better for herself and has started eating properly... Not overweight, just properly filled out.

Guess it'd be tricky to alter it if it was an original piece by a third party though.
