Jadezzar: After looking at Bobcat pics, I noticed that some of Skyrim Khajiits (and Jad, to an extent) kinda looks like them.

Jadezzar: That, and lynx too.

Jadezzar: Song played : Don't know.
Suggestion : Aerosmith : I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

Toryu-Mau: @Sashimi: … Tis only the beginning~ There be moar ART ‘yond the horizon, M8~ c^:(<

Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: … This is the song I had in mind while drawing~♪ >):^]

https://youtu.be/4K9qXSM7PJ8

… Everytime I hear “I don’t want to miss a thing” I can’t help but remember “Put the bunny back in the box.” Such nostalgic FEELS, M8. >):’^]

And yes, Khajiit from cold regions tends to have “Ear tassels” and cheek mane like Bobcats or Lynx do.

Toryu-Mau: @Nicros_Man: … ( Bows before the audience and tips fedora ) Thank you~ such generous audience~ c^:(<

Toryu-Mau: @Geravind: … All the better to smile wider with, eh? ( Shows even more tooth ) >)B^D

Toryu-Mau: ... I imagine this is a "Battle of the bands" situation where the victor gets a date with Katia~ Serenade for thy lady's heart, lads~! >):^D

DOOMGUY11: @Toryu-Mau: imagine the exposure to the audience with ny type of music XD

DOOMGUY11: Playing RIP and tear, some Metallica yk the usual :P

DOOMGUY11: Nice with the updates it's better!

bluedraggy: I wonder how many people have read this whole thing? AMKitsune made some changes to the way the Booru displays fanfiction as well as a way to preview them before posting. So I was thinking of trying them out with a followup story of SpyJirra, but they tend to be a big timesink for me so if no one reads them it's kinda pointless. Well, I know Sashimi will anyway. :)

AMKitsune: @bluedraggy: Well now that you've told everyone about it, I've had to get it presentable and make sure it at least [i[kind of works[/i].
For anyone interested, you can now preview comments, PM's and fanfics over on the 'text formatting guide' help page.
And I'm sorry to say, but no, I haven't really had a decent chance to sit down and read through this yet. I hope to at some point though.

bluedraggy: For anyone who wants to hear me reading Chapter 1, you can now do so here: https://bdfanfic.tumblr.com/post/178122980648/ Be gentle, it's my first attempt.

AMKitsune: @bluedraggy: That was really good. Especially for a first attempt. There were a small handful of parts where character lines didn't quite feel like they matched up to their accompanying description ("blah blah blah" person said gruffly and whatnot), but all in all, that was a brilliantly clean recording, the occasional sound effects were a nice touch and the length of the recording felt good as well. Quite lengthy, but not so much so that it outstayed its welcome.

bluedraggy: I know exactly the part you mean too. Tbh i did do some serious noise cancelling and pitch shifting, not to mention plain old editing. With more practice I can do bettee.

Toryu-Mau: @bluedraggy: ... Ancore, M8~ ( Claps ) That was a brilliant performance of 001. Moar please. >):^D

Sashimi: Wunderbar Draggy! I hope we see (hear) more!

bluedraggy: Well then here - have another! https://bdfanfic.tumblr.com/post/178158788793

Now with 50% more effects and ambiance! But darn these things take a while. Probably be awhile before I do the next.

AMKitsune: @bluedraggy: I was initially concerned when you said there'd be more sound effects, but I evidently had no reason to be. This was even better than the last one. I'm also glad that I haven't actually read the full version of the story. It makes hearing it a completely new experience. I just wish it didn't end so abruptly. (honestly, I'd have preferred if it just kept going, but all things have to end at some point. Now to simply await the next update)

Sashimi: @DOOMGUY11: One might say Aughhhh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlIz0q8aWpA

Jadezzar: @Sashimi: It would be eeaauuugghhhh, for me.

Sashimi: @Jadezzar: RUN AWAY!

DOOMGUY11: @Sashimi: NO! Don't run away! Run towards it face your DOOM

Sashimi: @DOOMGUY11: You mean like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg

DOOMGUY11: @Sashimi: hey my pet rabbit!

DOOMGUY11: @Sashimi: and wtf?! XD

Sashimi: @DOOMGUY11: Have you not watched Monty Python and the holy grail? I highly recommend if you haven't.

Queenish: sHoULDnt iT SAy sKyRIm?1/1/?

DOOMGUY11: @Sashimi: this movie though XD

DOOMGUY11: Now with gold logo final product!

Kazerad: =D is that foiled printing on the words? It looks a little shiny.

DOOMGUY11: @Kazerad: omg yes my lord, in reality it's a bit more shiny!

DOOMGUY11: @Kazerad: it's a nice shirt though huh?

Krozbott: welp if i didnt want to buy this enough already, this got me sold on it

btw my past commment was kinda a joke, so is this one

Rick2tails: time to sell these out of the back of a van at the local flea market?

AMKitsune: @Rick2tails: Nah, in order to qualify as a 'flea market knock-off', the product needs to either be misspelled in some minor way, use slightly wrong colours or reference/crossover with a completely unrelated property. It's not a proper knock-off if it doesn't fulfil at least one of these criteria in my book.

DOOMGUY11: Guys the shirt is just for me I would buy some merch but yk the prices :( sorry kaz someday

DOOMGUY11: Also sadly no one seemed to know when I wore it today sorry kaz :(

DOOMGUY11: @Jadezzar:yeah I'll only add my love if I get one irl for my fic

DOOMGUY11: But until then I'm a person lost in strange world with a couple of people helping me

Nicros_Man: Nice, dude

Jadezzar: @Nicros_Man: What would be Nick weapon/s?

And, eh, reaction if he realize he and Jad basically competes for Kat attention.

Nicros_Man: @Jadezzar: Nick has an amulet called Luna. This amulet can transform itself into an armor called Lunarium. For his weapons, Luna can give Nick a sword that looks like the new nordic sword in Skyrim and a lunarium shield. Also he can use two daggers.

Jadezzar: @Nicros_Man:
Ah right. Paladin. Although dual wielding daggers would be interesting.

DOOMGUY11: @Nicros_Man: ok now ik. Sadly this is the last oc drawing for now I want to draw my favorite characters

Jadezzar: Forgot one thing. Helmet. What kind of helm Jaime and Nick have? I'm considering to use either houndskull bascinet, sallet, Late Roman Ridge helm maybe Corint

Jadezzar: *Corinthian, or Attic or Chalcidian. Depends on which one suits the aesthetics best. What you guys think?

DOOMGUY11: @Jadezzar: helmet wise I don't really like them, if I could I'd wear version of the praetorian suit helmet, or a riot gear helmet, or spartan like

DOOMGUY11: Gonna add the logo l8

DOOMGUY11: Take that kaz's merchandise you overpriced clothing! Jk love ya!

Krozbott: Where can i buy this, i kinda like, need it in my life, i dont have the official prequel merch cuz it's too expensive

DOOMGUY11: @Krozbott: You can go to a store that sells "customized shirts" they print and iron it on or do it yourself yk??

DOOMGUY11: I cant really help Cuz I did go to a t-shirt store

DOOMGUY11: And it depends I got this for $ 20

DOOMGUY11: They can still charge you the same amount for the official merch

DOOMGUY11: Sorry a printing shop can help you

Doprolol:

DOOMGUY11: @Doprolol: OH MY

AMKitsune: Those look like pretty intricate armour designs.
It's a pity the pic's a tad blurry and low contrast, but the underlying drawings look solid.

Jadezzar: @AMKitsune: Thanks.

I don't have scanner in the place where I stayed, so I used my phone. Maybe going to look, since I might need it in the future. Regarding the armor, I kinda use my own imagination, bit of Morrowind, and ancient real life armor. The Armor set of Jadezzar consist of a mail hauberk topped by a triple-disc cuirass worn by ancient Italians (and maybe early Roman force), somewhat resembling Imperial Chain Cuirass from Morrowind, with the latter rectangular thing resembling cardiophylax worn by Hastati. The pauldron, upper arm plate and gauntlets are random. Katia's cuirass are made up from a breastplate, with scale attached to leather to provide more agility. She use it over padding to soften up hits to the metal parts of her armor.

Toryu-Mau: ... Now that is one THICC armor! >)':^/

Jadezzar: @Toryu-Mau: Er, thanks. (Why Thicc, tho?)

Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: Plate cuirass and pauldron on top of mail shirt and gambesson suit is what I would describe as "THICC ARMOUR", one would not want to be a day guard during summer wearing this... .
Heatstroke during duty is no joke, I tell ya. >):^c

AMKitsune: @Toryu-Mau: Think about it though, in a world where magic exists, you could just enchant it all do do 1 point of frost damage and 1 point of healing per second on wearer. Instant self cooling clothes! (hopefully the frost damage's minor enough that it doesn't actually hurt though)

Jadezzar: @Toryu-Mau:

Oh. Well, it applies to Jadezzar. Kat don't use mail to keep overall weight of her set lighter. You're right though, that in summer the heat would be near unbearable.

@AMKitsune:

Something even better. 25pt of healing and 5-10 pt of frost damage. Self cooling and self healing.

Toryu-Mau: @AMKitsune: ... At the rate this train of thought is progressing, I can imagine Jadezzar ending up with a Dwemer Power Armor MK.2 , better save up those soul gems to power it~ LoL >)X^D

Jadezzar: @Toryu-Mau: That's actually a good idea. But I'll do that after a Modern Warfare themed pic. Wonder how both would look with mod...dwemer gear.

DOOMGUY11: How have I missed this pic?

DOOMGUY11: @Toryu-Mau: its gotta do its job, to protect my insides.

DOOMGUY11: *tugs belt inspects magazines* yeah two ar mags and 2 pistol mags, one loaded to each. I'm kinda limited

Toryu-Mau: @DOOMGUY11: ... Any grenades, M8? Depending on how you use one of those, you could end up earning a lot of septims... or end up with a huge collateral damage fine. Hmm... >):^/

DOOMGUY11: @Toryu-Mau: let me check

DOOMGUY11: Just 2 grenades and one smoke

Jadezzar: Nice. Very nice. Hmm...I'm thinking about the comparison between Jad, Nick and Jaime armor.

Nick (Full plate)>Jadezzar(mail + partial plates)>Jaime (plate torso, not much else)

DOOMGUY11: @Jadezzar: yeah I like to stay light

DOOMGUY11: I'm also working on another pic with the 3

Toryu-Mau: @DOOMGUY11: ... As am I right now, though I'm having a bit of a complication with Jaime's design, since Suthay-rahts have digitigrade legs with an extra L joint that can't fit shoes made for plantigrade legs of Cathay Khajiits...
I know Kaz draws Suthay-raht with plantigrade legs, but that feels like a generalization for the sake of convenience, so I'm going to stick to the lore accuracy and find a way to custom tailor this armor around that physiological conundrum somehow... . >):^l

DOOMGUY11: @Toryu-Mau: oof thanks for your contribution!

DOOMGUY11: Oh you haven't played dead space? It's just a reference Isaacs dead gf would hum the jingle when he hallucinated her

DOOMGUY11: He thought she was alive throughout the entire game but really everytime he saw her it was his mind fooling him

DOOMGUY11: Idk it's up to kazerad all we know is that she did have parents at some castle

Nicros_Man: @DOOMGUY11: Oh ok, sorry. It was a Dead Space reference. Sorry, its been so long since I know the story of it.

DOOMGUY11: Jeez when will she beat her nightmares?

DOOMGUY11: It makes me feel bad

DOOMGUY11: Bruh everytime y does the mom look like mine? XD

AMKitsune: This is just too wholesome!

Toryu-Mau: ... So precious, M8. The FEELS~ c^':(<

... Remembering the one my Mum used to sing...
~ Sleep soundly~ My baby~♪ Front yard and back hill's birds~ and the baby sheep are all~ asleep~♫

... I miss them all so much. Why did I have to be the only one left alive... . >):'^c

ArtMartin: The story that made spielberg cry like a little Katia Managan

Toryu-Mau: @Nicros_Man: ... Uh... ( Clears throat with a nervous cough ) Nick's eye color is unusual for a Khajiit, which hints at the possibility that he has Nord blood in his lineage. >)':^]

Jadezzar: @Toryu-Mau: I...notice it now. And the unpleasant implication. (Khajiits aren't supposed to be able to breed with non Khajiit. Men and Mer could)

Nicros_Man: @Toryu-Mau: Ha! Funny! Because Nick was born in Skyrim!

Nicros_Man: @DOOMGUY11: NO I'M NOT BEEING RACIST DUDE! I just don't know what the word Hybrid is!

Nicros_Man: @Toryu-Mau: But no, He's not related with Nords. I put blue eyes on him because... WHEN YOU CUSTOMISE YOUR CHARACTER IN SKYRIM, THERE IS AN OPTION TO PUT IN YOUR KHAJIIT BLUE EYES!

Toryu-Mau: @Nicros_Man: ... Shhhhh... Calm down, tis but a jest. >):^<
And even if it were true, this is a non judgemental place.
Everyone's got the right to choose their own partner without being buried in sand, as long as they are respectful and polite. >):^]

Nicros_Man: @Toryu-Mau: Sorry, I just don't know why you are so obsessed with my character's eyes.

Toryu-Mau: @Nicros_Man: ... Hm? ( Tilts head in confusion ) >):^?
... Oh, I'm sorry if I seem overly enthusiastic and that made you feel uncomfortable, ( Laughs bashfully ) it's just that there's a common stigma people say "All Khajiits look the same", which is not true, but hard to deny from an objective standpoint when so many Khajiit characters do not have enough distinguishing features that set them apart from the others, so I was excited to see a new artist to the Booru who knows how to create immediately recognizable characters. >):^D
Plus, it is my sworn duty as the Conciliator of this place to cheer up and motivate everyone while maintaining morale~ <>
... So you are going have to get used to this one bouncing around all over the place like an excitable tumbleweed on sugar rush, eh? c^:(<
Hope that cleared up the confusion, M8. >):^]

Nicros_Man: @Toryu-Mau: ok, I get now

Pepsidude: I like this, this is sweet!
