AMKitsune: Hmm, I'm not sure 'crossdressing' is an appropriate tag for this situation. "Outfit_swap" perhaps?
Admins, come forth and share your thoughts.

AMKitsune: @Man_Of_Mer: Composition wise, it's very well done. What I would suggest with the quantities of snow, is that the 'patchiness' of the snow on the trees tends to indicate that it has been snowing but the snow is starting to melt in patches. Now in this picture, your Khajiit seems to be sitting quite high up on the mountain, so Id suggest almost entirely covering the trees with snow (as at that height, the snow seems like it hasn't melted in a long time and if the scene is set at the height on the mountain where the snow does regularly melt, the ground 'not-Katia' is sitting on doesn't quite reflect that). To be honest, while seeming like the more 'accurate' thing to do, with this pixely art style, it might leave the trees a bit indistinguishable.

The other thing that I would suggest would be to add some extra details to the valley below. Nothing overly detailed that would stand out against the simplicity of the rest of the picture, but perhaps some patches of forest, a town or two and a few roads/paths to join them? While it might not directly suit the scene in this picture, I suggest it because you would get a greater sense of depth if you could place a few extra points of interest in the mid and background. The background objects having very little detail (almost just blobs at that distance) with light washed out colour. The mid-ground detail having a level of detail and saturation somewhere between that of the background and the foreground (in this case the trees).

Of course, the inclusion of any background, mid-ground and foreground elements have to make sense (ideally) and feel right in the context of the picture. If you feel that there's something that you could insert to help give a sense of scale, it couldn't hurt to see how it looks. In this instance, a town/village would probably go better in the mid-ground as it would have to be so small in the background that no-one would be able to tell what it is.

As for shading, there isn't really any here. But if you wanted to add shading to this kind of picture, I'd suggest a simple 2 tone shading (which I suck at and couldn't give any meaningful advice on).

As for physics, every-thing's on the ground and nothing's floating away, so all seems well here (although this is Tamriel, so the laws of physics don't really apply here...)

These are just my thoughts. Make of them what you will.

AMKitsune: @Man_Of_Mer: I whole heartedly second this notion.

AMKitsune: @OrsaTheSimurgh: Thanks. I'm glad you like what I did with it :D. The first time I tried cleaning up your original, it ended up looking like an old 90's 3d computer model. Not good at all. At least this way, it can retain the details and overall style of the original whilst having a slightly different look and feel.

Again, thanks for letting me upload this.

AMKitsune: @OrsaTheSimurgh: Well, I tried but I couldn't come up with anything that could compare with your original (without deviating far from your original style, which I'd rather not do). Oh well, I gave it a go and leaned something new in the process. Turns out that the sketchy lines are an important part of the overall style in this case.

AMKitsune: How in gods name can you make a character look so adorably cute and epicly badass at the same time?
What you've achieved shouldn't be logicically possible. Yet here it is.

If you don't mind, I'd like to have a go at doing a little work on this. Cleaning up the lines and such.

AMKitsune: Wow...
As soon as the current one's been there for a while, this needs to become a featured masterpiece.
I really, really hope wee see more from this artist.
Makkon, if you see this, did you get the embossed canvas texture from somewhere of did you make it yourself?

AMKitsune: There's just something about Plague of Gripes emulating the Prequel art style that just so... Gah!
It's like the Prequel we all know and love, but higher res.

The outfit and cloak aren't bad either. ;D

AMKitsune: I love how these look like sets of mages robes that have been altered for a hardcore adventurer/traveller. It could also fit the Prequel art style very nicely to.

AMKitsune: Thanks for pointing out the confidence. I can never quite find it on my own :(. I can't pinpoint what it is about this design that I like so much. It might be the simplicity, the fact that it looks like it 'could' be in an Elderscrolls game but (to the best of my knowledge) isn't or it might just be the fluff. Whatever the reason, it's a great design and I wish you the best of luck when Kazerad comes to choosing his favourites.

AMKitsune: After seeing this, I really hope Katia finds something like this in the box with the cloak. It's just the sort of thing that I could see happening in the next update.

AMKitsune: While I'm yet to see anyone wearing a pinstripe waistcoat in an (un-modded) Elderscrolls game, it's certainly a very well though out and functional design. I don't think I've ever seen anyone consider 'spell ports' in gloves before. Also, I think you might have forgotten to add 'imp leavings' to the boot resistances. It's one of the lesser known dangers of exploring Tamriel bare foot.

AMKitsune: I think this is one of the few pictures that I can actually call a collaboration. (normally the artists don't even know about my edits until I've finished them XD)

AMKitsune: The Cloak of Gray Tomorrow. A cloak so old, worn and generally 'hobo-esque' that people can't help but completely ignore the wearer. It's really quite ingenious.

AMKitsune: @Olaffson: Sorry, could you point out the bad quality for me? My eyesight's not what it used to be and I can only see a really well done drawing/painting with an awesome design and lots of crisp detail. (I could easily see this being used in the comic. It fits the lore so well.)

AMKitsune: I can't believe that I'm saying this, but some of these designs are almost too badass for Katia.
That top right one though...
That's just Katia in a really comfy sleeping bag!

AMKitsune: The lack of symmetry makes it look more arcane (in my opinion). I don't know about you, but I'd imaging that a mage crafting something like this would be more concerned with functionality that aesthetics. Also, clever placement of blue markings.

AMKitsune: Good god, These are some nice outfit designs.
I particularly like the far left design.

AMKitsune: Well, at least she's being sad with dignity and poise.

AMKitsune: But... She's already had a towel outfit.
No, wait, I'm thinking of that bed sheet.
She's worn a tapestry and a bed sheet but not a dirty old towel yet.

AMKitsune: I don't know if it the proportions of the cloak or what it is, but this cloak design seems strangely... adorable? Maybe I'm just picturing Katia in it (which strictly speaking shouldn't be possible. She'd be invisible of course). Either that or the thick lines, smooth curves or simple colours. Whatever the reason, it's cute and I love it!

AMKitsune: @Sasquatch_boote: Not only does that look really comfy, but it also a really interesting design to. It has that 'unique item' look, like a Daedric artefact given by a Daedric Prince.

AMKitsune: @diachromatic: Don't care. It's still cool, stylish and mysterious. It looks like it emits an aura of success and competence. (Maybe Katia'll absorb some of that. Gods know she could use some.)

AMKitsune: Yeh, it's not that good in itself, but maybe a better designer than myself (pretty much anyone XD) will get some ideas from it.

I couldn't help making up a little back-story for it.

(I was half tempted to upload a transparent PNG with nothing in it to begin with. You know, on account of it being invisible)

AMKitsune: I like to imagine that this is her 'lounging around the house in the middle of a hot summer' shirt.
You know, what with it having a 'ghostly chill' and all.

AMKitsune: Come on Katia, stop being so body conscious. We all love ya for who you are, not what you look like (although you are pretty damn adorable, it has to be said)

AMKitsune: @POMA: What are you talking about? This is great. Sure, I've never heard of Disciples II so this 'may' be off model, but it's still a great picture. Her right arm (as we see it) seems a little off, but that might just be because of how you posed her hand (hands on hips are tricky hands) or that her arms are a little too short for her torso.

Still, I love it :D

AMKitsune: @Kody1993: We need more traditional art around here. I look forward to seeing the finished product :D

AMKitsune: @Man_Of_Mer:Maybe its Maybeline?

AMKitsune: ...Hang on a sec. Is Katia wearing anything under that apron? At least she's happy, I suppose.

AMKitsune: Now we just need Katia with Magician's Red.
Oh yeh, and this is a fantastic picture. Just though I'd mention that.

AMKitsune: I feel so conflicted seeing this. Everything I though I knew about Argonian authors and questionably competent Khajiit, gone. Everything besides the fact that they're still adorable.

AMKitsune: I can't remember who previously said this and I'm paraphrasing here but "if the questionability of an image is being questioned then the image is by definition questionable".

Personally, I think it's a lovely picture and see the scene as more of a loving display of affection (whether it says 'platonic' or not) than anything sexual and as such do not consider it questionable in my own mind. However, many other people won't see things in the same way and will see a more sexually suggestive scene with 'the naked cat lady embracing and nibbling the body pillow of the naked lizard lady".

For this reason, I'd suggest leaving the image being rated 'Questionable'. It's not as though being so prevents people from being able to view it. It just gives them a clear 'heads up' of what to expect before clicking the thumbnail.

AMKitsune: @Mr_Darkwraith: This is what happens when a fantastic artist decends upon a small fandom. Everyone's making their nice little pictures and whatnot when all of a sudden, BAM. Someone comes along that comparativley blows everyone elses work out of the water. Hopefully, in time, I'd like to be as good as Plague. Untill then though, I'm happy enough being able to enjoy these wonderful pictures.

AMKitsune: How is everything you draw so adorable? Seriously, I'd trade my 'technical photoshop knowledge' for the ability to draw 'adorable' in a heart beat. How long do these kinds of pictures usually take you to make anyway?

AMKitsune: Christmas may be over but the presents keep coming :D

AMKitsune: Daww, she looks so warm and happy. SomeDork, you've outdone yourself.

AMKitsune: How about Katia in a sleeping bag, roasting a marshmallow on a stick over a camp fire? Idealy having her be warm, comfortable and happy but you could set her marshmallow on fire if you wanted.

AMKitsune: @SomeDork: Many thanks.

AMKitsune: Also, can we get a source on this? I'd like to talk with the artist if at all possible.

AMKitsune: "This one does not care for the sky ice."

AMKitsune: To whomever made this, I salute you.
I hope the admins have a list of future featured masterpieces because this needs to be on it.

AMKitsune: @POMA: Damn, you beat me to it (and with a damn good job too. You don't suck at shading). No matter, I'm sure I'll finish my version soon enough.

Also, I agree entirely. This is amazingly well done.

AMKitsune: a quick edit of a picture from Kazerad's lego donation thingie and now that it's over, I might as well put it here.

#MakingACatSmile

AMKitsune: I want to describe my feelings about this picture but there aren't any good words for the levels of 'Dawww' that I'm experiencing.
I'll just have to settle for "Daww, look at da sweet widdle face wiv da big wound eyes. Too cute"

AMKitsune: Damn it Abrikos, you can't just make a page full of adorable Katias then freak everyone out with the last one. It's just not right. Although, you've probably earned the right to it. After all, the cute vastley outweighs the creepy. Good job on that :D

AMKitsune: Now for the next episode of 'Katia eats the in-edible'. This week featuring antlers, dust, human limbs, insects and much more.

AMKitsune: I'm so conflicted right now.
On one hand, seeing Katia cold and hungry makes me sad.
On the other hand, seeing someone who looks practically identical to Katia enjoying a nice big fish by an open fire makes me happy.

Lesson of the day: Share your fish.

AMKitsune: Thank you for this beautiful scene.
This art is amazing, as is it's artist.

AMKitsune: "Love Kitten" sounds like one of those overly lovey-dovey pet names to me.
