Zargothrax: Also, nice drawing. You managed to only draw what's necessary, while leaving out everything that contributes little to none in conveying the message (like the entire body of all the characters), and yet the drawing doesn't look broken at all.
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: I think that had less to do with the nerevarine, and more with how incredibly broken Morrowind was. I mean, some complain that in Skyrim alchemy is broken, sneak is broken, yadda-yadda, but with Morrowind, it's as if they didn't even attempt to balance game mechanics. The surprising thing would have been if she had not risen to godhood.
Zargothrax: @Evilpopcorn: As far as I understand, according to the Prequel lore, healing works in a declarative way. Meaning, instead of having to methodically control magicka in a systematic way to mend tissue and bones step-by-step, you declare the desired state of the wounded body part by envisioning it intact. If the desired state is well defined and accurate enough (in your head), restoration magic will "update" the body part to that state, without you having to know HOW exactly that's supposed to be done.
But what if the desired state that you envision is not intact? For example, study a smashed face and memorize it's exact bone and tissue configuration. Now, the next time you meet someone you hate, envision their face faithfully in the smashed state. With restoration magic, you could, in theory, "mend" their face into the desired, smashed state.
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: I gave up like 3-4 times already, but always tried again a few months later. The shoulders always get the best of me. I'm confident my next attempt will be successful!
And don't let canon hold your interpretations back of characters, I for example love to draw Katia out-of-caharcter.
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: You could also draw muscular women(although they lost a significant amount of popularity recently, kekekekek), it's almost the same, when it comes to practicing muscle anatomy.
And true, some poses can be tricky. Remember my drawing with Katia stretching? It was a warmup drawing for an other drawing I still haven't finished because the pose is so damn difficult.
Zargothrax: Boi the testosterone levels are getting out of hand.
Nice job on the grumpy cat expression. The tail doesn't follow his mood though.
Note that elbows raised high move the shoulders upwards, and in this pose, turn them towards the back, meaning the armpits will turn forwards. The raised arms will also drag the pecks, deforming the square like shape to be somewhat more triangular. The closer elbow will also face more forwards, and less sideways.
Zargothrax: Your first attempt looks better than most's 50th!
You got the shapes, the shading and even the ambience right, that provides a coherent image.
Good luck finding your artist name. Maybe ask others how they got theirs, if you need some ideas.
Zargothrax: With this attire and armament, looks like she could fit in pretty well in Ashen. She would definitely make up for everyone else's lack of eyes.
Also, the clothing wrinkles look pretty amazing.
Zargothrax: Is this from this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85592? With custom textures?
If yes, I've noticed this too. There is an extra node in her head for her eyes, that fill out most of her cranium. Eyetia confirmed.
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Damn, I should've stopped at 4. Hmmm... She's probably a Polydactyl cat, frequent among ship's cats. Exactly what I meant when drawing the toes.
@Caps: This is how witch hunters in The Witcher 3 dress like. And act like...
@lapma, @Dominik: Thanks. I remember Dominik you had a Witcher drawing too, school of the Cat, was it? I mentioned I had a Witcher related drawing coming up on which my progress was somewhat stuck. This was it. Some of my drawings spend a lot of time being put aside before being completed.
@Rick2tails: Thank you. You mean off character right? Somehow I like drawing her with altered personality, especially if it's filled with rage.
Zargothrax: @Rick2tails, @Caps, @KuroNeko: Thanks! Empress "Princess" would definitely be the end of Katia, though I'd reckon she wouldn't be around to see that.
Zargothrax: I used my evil magicks to turn the princess into a queen. She's now older, wiser and approximately 40 times as royal as before. Good times are over.
Zargothrax: @Zerorganic: It's a satire on the principle that the larger the eye-to-head ratio, the higher the perceived cuteness. Katia is already having ridiculously large eyes >>762 and some smart people thought they can make her even cuter by pulling the ratio up to 1:1.
@ADudeCalledLeo: Eyetia with him. Her backstory would probably be some kind of messed up eldritch horror, but with Sheogorath involved who disapproved of how un-funnyly it represents madness.
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Thanks. The hardest part was conveying emotions. It's pretty damn hard, when your characters don't have a firckin' face. That's why I drew a wiggly tail despite the wizard robe for instance. Also I just realized this is the first shipping drawing I ever made. Up to a great start I guess. Besides wouldn't you agree, that there really aren't enough Saturalia stuff here? Especially of the bosses.
@lapma: Damn, I forgot about that, will finish it sooner or later. Not a terribly high-effort drawing, it's more like this one. And I might have exaggerated on the triggering part, it's definitely not weirder than this.
Zargothrax: It was love at first sight, if you know what I mean. She caught his eye on nightmare duty and instead of haunting her, he decided that, every night, he'll go out of his way, to intercept the nightmares she has with the King, so that they can be together.
Zargothrax: Aww, she's so cute. And such great colors! Nice shading too. (her neck/shoulders scare me a little though. Must be a witch hunter trick she learnt along the way)
Zargothrax: Imagine someone new finding Prequel for the first time, then see there is a fanart section, come here with shining eyes, and be greeted with this (and what I'm about to upload). Just imagine what could go through their poor little head
Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: I can give you a better anthro problem: try designing a headphone. Earpods are out, we're talking studio grade over ear headphones. If you were to design it naively and simply have it envelope the ears with a band on the top, it'll be top-heavy with no clamping force. A small tilt on the head and it falls off.
@AMKitsune: Aww, she's even prettier in color. And nice job changing the color of the wings to be closer to mysticisms representation in the comic.
@TempIntel: Well, she's allergic to that, on the other hand... @ADudeCalledLeo: she can spread misfortune instead of pixie dust. And light everything aflame.
@Whistle: Thank you.
@lapma: For YOU dear moderators. And for me for being lazy to draw clothes but didn't want to tag my drawing 'questionable' for nudity. (and I don't really like the aesthetics of the painted underwear. It's good for memes though)

Nice drawing, as always.

Or, you know, just use a hammer.
