Makkon: No worries, I wouldn't for Katia to kill this guy, he's not particularly evil or harmful. It might be fun to show her just hanging out with some aedra rather than just killing everything.

Makkon: @AMKitsune: Oh no need to be worried, I just looked up an anatomical neck cross section. You can look up a cross section of nearly any body part you can imagine from the standard 3 axis. Hence why the cut looks so clean as opposed to uneven.

Makkon:

Makkon: Hey man, this is rad! This is some bonafide official_badass material. No worries about the severed head of a god, it's not a requirement, just a fun theme to explore. Keep painting, it only gets easier the more you do it.

Makkon: I, uh. I might have overdone the blood. Kaz thinks it's okay. I should probably start exploring other styles other than this one.

Makkon: Hope you don't mind, my new entry kinda ended up being, like, almost exactly the same pose :(

Makkon: @Geravind: Yeah, I see it. I've addressed this in later drawings. Thanks :)

Makkon: This makes me so happy. I love it! And I love the idea of cutting through the pantheon of gods via decapitation. I want to keep the heads rolling!

Makkon: Kaz gave me some feedback on a pose.

Makkon: @Radian: She doesn't particularly have to be happy, or even any or all of those things listed. They are merely examples to help illustrate the intent of the challenge. If you draw her at level 50 and she is badass but looks unhappy, then draw it! She just needs to be powerful, or at the very least look capable.

@KillerfishSG: Doooo eeeeetttt.

Makkon: @Radian: No limitation to how many you can draw, post them all! Varying levels of badassery is acceptable.

This challenge is merely an observation of the current trend of the fanart page, just trying to get the community more pumped an involved as we wait for the update.

Makkon: @Arcsome: You've got a few pieces that already fit the bill, looking forward to your entry!

Makkon: I wanted to draw this to also provide some clarification.

Katia in the comic, her current form, think of her as a level 2. Now imagine her at level 70. I challenged you to draw her with her power levels over 9000. Draw her de-spining an ancient dragon by punching it in the dick. Draw her wielding the legendary Daedric Greatsword of "Fuck You And Your Peasant Army". Draw her as the conquering hero that Tamriel needs, not the hero it deserves. Draw her as the strong, confident woman that she could one day be in the infinite permutations of spacetime, not as she is now. Draw Katia the way she can't see herself. Draw Katia happy being herself.

Makkon: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: I dunno, this looks more like the Katia as she is now than the Katia that could be. I'll put up a clarification.
Good pixel art though.

Makkon: @POMA my intent is for Katia, as she is particularly the biggest loser in cannon.

Makkon: @tronn Kickass is also acceptable.

Makkon: Larger textless version so you can see all the smudges and problems.

Makkon: Not a contest, only a challenge. Only rule is that her primary attribute is badassery or at least competency. Also clothed.

Makkon: There are 2 box sizes, depending on what you get, and both boxes have very different designs.

Makkon: This is great. Very well drawn, and I love the cloak colors applied to hip clothing.

Makkon: I painted the boxes. That's my claim to fame for the month.

Makkon: This is overwhelmingly cute

Makkon: I think this is rather well inked and shaded. You have a knack for that. There's some general proportional issues that have been mentioned, but that stuff comes with practice.

Makkon: This made me smile. :)

Makkon: This is super cute!

Makkon: Katia looks god with a neck. The execution isn't perfect, but this has me sold. Too late for Kaz to really change the model, though.

Makkon: This is a really adorable style!

Makkon: I don't know what some viewer's internet diet consists of here, but be real. That is nudity, by definition. Yes, it is sexual in nature. There's no denying that it is objectively a naked cat woman being shown in an intentional angle and pose wanting to get a specific response out of people. Considering all that, I do think this has the right to exist. Even if it's not particularly tasteful, it does have merit. Does it belong here? Eh, probably not, that's ultimately up to the mods.

Makkon: this makes me very uncomfortable

Makkon: We make a good team, Nick!

Makkon: I'm trying!!!!

Makkon: I can dig it!

Makkon: This is pretty clever! I like the idea of it synching up around the user, and how it's being compared to camelion.

Makkon: @NickTaken: uploaded some stuff, check it out

Makkon: This round, used the colors from NickTaken's outfit, as well as a few similar variants.

Makkon: @CaptainLackwit Good idea, actually! Posting that and some variants now.

Makkon: Inspired by a few elements from NickTaken's design. Loved the wrapped feet and the rounded shawl.

Makkon: Hey dude, I'd love to expand on this idea if it's okay with you!

Makkon: This has my vote too

Makkon: @MikeyTheFox not what I was getting at, but okay.

Makkon: @tronn who says a magic head bag can't make you invisible? And who says that you can't see through it when it becomes invisible?

Makkon: @AMKitsune that's an idea. It's like the "not my problem" field from Scott Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide. It's not that you can't physically see them, it's just that it plays a trick on your brain and makes it impossible to focus on them. Functionally invisible, but not actually invisible.

Makkon: @CaptainLackwit I'll keep it up :)

Makkon: Yeah, I like this a lot

Makkon: The segmentation on the arms isn't the most functional, but it's visually interesting and would have a good place in the fashion world.

Makkon: Simple, and pretty rad. Love the veil.

Makkon: We are not the Dungeon Master in control of the game, ultimately we are all players controlling a single character.

Makkon: Ah. You seemed rather committed to your comment, I assumed you were serious and took it as critique. I mean, it certainly wasn't funny, so I didn't think it was a joke. No worries, 6 pages of foot studies certainly didn't hurt.
And yes, generally feet fall pretty low on the visual hierarchy when it comes to important features that the brain recognizes.

Makkon: If the worst feedback someone has is a hard angle on a character's left foot, I guess I'm doing okay.
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, and the critique. :)
