AMKitsune: Now this is how you make a meme! Great job.

AMKitsune: Your face the moment you realise exactly what that Daedric prince wanted to borrow your arms for...
glorious khajiit claw back scratchers

AMKitsune: Well this is amazingly animated!

AMKitsune: And this is what happens when Katia discovers that sweet-roles can be made at home. Now she'll have to learn the joys of growing a salad.

AMKitsune: @AMKitsune: *Or (I can't type today...)

AMKitsune: I love the idea that in a world of scary vampires, when Katia transforms into a bat, it's a fruit bat

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Of a Khajiitti werewolf that is perpetually stuck mid-transformation. (probably not, but damn, I'm surprisingly proud of that idea. If anyone wants to run with it, go for it!)

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: I'd say the time spent was well worth it. No just for this image alone, but for the fact that you now know how to do something new, and can apply that knowledge in future projects!

Now I can't help but imagine how this scene would look with a more cinematic camera angle, and cell shading.

AMKitsune: @_Noxygen_: You're most welcome. I've just checked, and it looks like krita has all the functionality you'd want for this kind of thing. All that remains is for you to dive in and have fun with it. (that's the best, and most important part XD)

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: I second this notion.

AMKitsune: @Rick2tails: Don't be so cruel. You know damn well that there's a hard working imp inside that monitor, moving windows around drawing pictures and words as fast as it can. This move to thinner and thinner displays is all good and well for us, but does anyone ever stop to consider the poorer working conditions these poor creatures are being subjected to?

... I didn't think so.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: I don't really see how this would be particularly questionable. If anything, I think it's quite a lovely scene. Not sure what the significance of the red hoodie is, but it's nice to see her getting a little flustered at being discovered like this. Also, I absolutely love the way you draw plushies. They're simply adorable!

AMKitsune: @_Noxygen_: I don't know what program you're using, but the vast majority of them allow you to draw/paint on different 'layers'. I'd suggest that it's important to keep your lineart and colours on separate layers, so if you make a mistake or change your mind on how you want it to look at any point, you can erase/change the part you want without affecting more than you need to.

Second thing. Whatever program you're using, it quite probably has 'blend modes'. These are options that can be applied to layers (or groups of layers if your program supports 'folders'(or groups, or whatever they're called)) that change how the contents of that layer is drawn over the layers beneath it.


In this example, I put some colours in a folder above your lineart and set the folder's blend mode to linear burn. There's no hard rule as to which mode you have to use. Play around with them to see what looks good to you.

I also darkened the lineart slightly to prevent the colours visibly butting up against each other over the faded lines.

Exactly how you choose to order your layers and what blend modes you use are entirely up to you. The important takeaways are that it's good to keep the various parts of your work separated into layers (for making cleaner changes and additions), and make use of layer/folder blend modes to merge the different parts of your image together.

Hope that's of some help.

AMKitsune: @Bokdan0: No blending, and presumably only a single layer? You utter mad genius!
I'm just going to 'headcanon' this into "so much time has passed since Katia arrived at Kvatch, emperor's have been and gone, but ASOTIL endures. Refusing to let the march of time interfere with his service of the emperor, he battles across the planes of oblivion, but remembering that he never completed that one patrol route, he came back and escorted our feline friend (who also hadn't aged a day (comic logic)) back to Anvil. Katia's lack of clothes? Who can say? She probably got into a fist fight with a mudcrab a couple of minutes before ASOTIL arrived. You know it doesn't have to make sense."

AMKitsune: KuroNeko, I remember seeing the comment suggesting you drew this, but I didn't expect the result to be quite this epic!
@bluedraggy: True story: When this was uploaded the other day, I was tempted to colour it, but decided not to as "Bluedraggy would do a much better job of it than I would, and with something as cool as this, he probably will." I'm so glad I was right :D

AMKitsune: @egliomatn: Ok, the look of sheer joy on this little Katia doodle is infections! She looks so happy, and I'm loving it!

AMKitsune: @Zargothrax: It's quite a unique take on her, but a very effective one indeed!

AMKitsune: Top left: Aww, seeing this, I share her sadness.
Top right: Don't worry Katia, a quick 5 minute bath in a tub of healing potion and you should be just fine.
Bottom left: Quite possibly the softest looking Katia face I've seen in ages. I imagine she used a hair drier to dry off after her bath for that extra fluffy effect.
Bottom right: Just because she's tiny, don't underestimate her flames. It's probably fine to underestimate everything else though...

AMKitsune: Well this is ludicrously adorable. Could this be the face of a Khajiit that's just been told that she's a good competent girl?

AMKitsune: I love how everything immediately flips from 'hush hush shady talk' to 'happy happy sunshine stall of lovely things'.
But what if the Alfiq ate some of the pineapple? Would that make it a super drug combo? Would that be too illegal for even this Khajiit-iest of merchants to sell?

AMKitsune: @DarthVader: This is exactly the sort of scenario that the blacklist was made for. If you don't like it, you don't have to see it.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Kaz says "just architect is fine"

AMKitsune: @ADudeCalledLeo: Sorry to be the one to poop on your party, but https://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/list/character%3ASpecial_agent_BRIARbird/1

AMKitsune: This is as weird as it is impressive, which is to say pretty damn. It's admittedly a little scary how well shaded everything is and how the Katia's all look the same, but each have their own things going on.

AMKitsune: @Rick2tails: Not in the main image. Check the source/first comment.

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: Awesome work. Seeing her smile on the way down like that makes me wonder though. How easy would it be to change face textures mid animation? Isn't that pretty much how they used to animate faces back in n64 times?

AMKitsune:
(it's the best I can do, which isn't anywhere near enough to accurately emulate the sheer wholesomeness of that smile.)

AMKitsune: @Zargothrax: What are you saying, that all Argonians look the same? In fairness, removing all hue from the equation doesn't help.

But wait, QW's colour blind. How does she tell her own kind apart? Can she? Is she essentially the Argonian equivalent of Katia in that regard?

AMKitsune: @Zargothrax: I don't think it's a bug. It seems to be because the booru remembers the capitalisation the first time a tag is used, and then corrects all subsequent uses to be the same as the first (presumably to prevent tags being capitalised differently and not all showing up together in searches.). There's even a little tool on the administration page specifically to change the capitalisation of tags.

Anyway, I've fixed this particular tag, so you won't need to add an underscore any more.

@Snowcookie: if E=¹⁰, then what's the value of ?

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: Nope, nothing quite that involved I'm afraid. Just a variety of text formatting options and the ability to add picture in-between sections of text.

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: Like this for example https://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/5919

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: But you can! Text uploads support bbcode formatting, to you can add pictures to them if you upload them somewhere else first. Check the Lexicon help page for the full bbcode guide. (there's even the bbcode previewer over in the sidebar to test your formatting out before committing to an upload.)

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: Yes, but not particularly comfortably. The reduced contrast (from having a darker background) apparent blur (be it from image compression, being downscaled or simply manually blurred slightly), and small font size (being even smaller that default size text on a desktop browser) combine to make the text harder to parse than it otherwise could be. If you want to do anything that consists mainly of text, you'd be much better off uploading it as a text file. That way it can be losselessly scaled to whatever size a reader feels most comfortable with (and probably even work with screen readers if needed).

AMKitsune: Yes, son of Elsweyr, dance!

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Would ocarina of time be too obvious a choice?

AMKitsune: I'm a little surprised that nobody's made a 'blind leading the blind' joke yet.

AMKitsune: This style really suits her well. Gives her a 'I'm clearly superior to you, and everyone knows it' look.

AMKitsune: Am I the first to colour this? Maybe.
Am I the first to upload their coloured version here? Absolutely

AMKitsune: @Zerorganic: Why assume that an outright switch to digital is inevitable? KuroNeko's better with pencil and paper than most are with stylus and tablet.

AMKitsune: @PermanentFace and ADudeCalledLeo: Incorrect case: Fixed.

AMKitsune: I just had the thought "even the smallest QW's there. It's just a shame the largest one isn't". Then it occurred to me, they must be playing twister on Kaiju-Weave's stomach! (let's say that she's too big to play, so she's just chilling)

AMKitsune: Wow, this rig seems to be really practical. How are the limb motions handled? Some kind of inverse kinematics system, or do you manually tween all join positions?

AMKitsune: The shading and tones used here are just *Mwah* beautiful. And that translucency effect on the shark! I know you've demonstrated translucency before, but every time I see it done this well, especially in a traditional medium, I'm left at a loss for words.

AMKitsune: Scleepy has always been an adorable snake, but the addition of some nice, pleasant hues just makes him that much better!

AMKitsune: No idea what she's seen, but it's certainly got the gears in her head spinning.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Your mind took it in that direction, not mine XD. How would you 'TES'erise the idea of swingball?

AMKitsune: Next time on the adventures of kitten and hatchling, our intrepid duo embark on an epic quest to the far reaches of 'garr-den' to brave the long abandoned depths of 'dad's shed' in search of their greatest treasure yet. The rod and dual maces of swingball.

AMKitsune: @Dominik, @lapma and @KuroNeko: Thanks everyone. I hadn't even considered the fenneko similarity, but now that it's been pointed out, I can't unsee it!
@Mezhik:

AMKitsune: Glorious Success

AMKitsune: Isn't it just typical? After barely stepping foot out of a bakery with sweetroll in hand, you look down to see this.
Looks like you'll be enjoying an entire half of that sweetroll.
