Gobarski: My hopes have been raised, update for 2018 that is.

Skoon: Katia's eyes confirmed for black.

MetalC0Mmander: @Un_Mapache:

Sashimi: Draggy, you'll have do do coloring streams now.

Sashimi: t@Sashimi: That was supposed to be "To do" coloring streams.

Kazerad: @Skoon: It is literally a comic! You can see her eyes in every panel!

mr_cat: hmmmm i feel this is missing a tag hmmmm do yall think we should add the lag addorable?

Toryu-Mau: Yup, this is update alright. I approve.

DOOMGUY11: No stop katia u r not the update, u r the adorable one

DOOMGUY11: Sorta I seen more adorable( my pet dog)

bluedraggy: Surely you jest Sashimi! Not only did he write helpful and clearly knowledgeable criticism, but he posted what it could have looked like as well! I hate to think how long that took him to do - all for my benefit! Kind? I want to kiss his toes! (well, metaphorically speaking.) If you don't think I'm going to take his suggestions to heart, you're wrong. Not this one - it's over and done with for me. But damn that's a good revision! I said it was the best I could do at the time. Already I bet I could do better. I'm sure as hell not going to berate the guy who helped me do that!

Sashimi: @bluedraggy: Well I don't mind that someone is willing to offer constructive criticism, and it's nice to offer helpful solutions, but for someone to just flat out say your work is not good, that doesn't sit well with me. It could have been worded differently.

Radian: Well, "not really good" doesn't mean "it sucks and you suck too". It's middle, neutral point between "bad" and "good". It's not bad and not wrong, it looks like work made by beginner who aren't know much (we all was here). Honestly I said so because of comments like "Excellent" and "Impressive".
But
If it's "The best I can do coloring at mu current skill level" then it's time to change something. Like a way how you work, way how you learn and what you think. Maybe it's time to learn your fundamentals.
The fact you are only coloring drawings dome by other people means you are skipping most important part. Take a pencil and start drawing. The better you becomes at drawing - the better you will understand the form - the faster and easier will be shading and coloring.
Other problem is what you are shading highly stylized drawings. I'd recommend draw\learn from photos or much better from live. Start with simple things.
This overpaint was very fast and I spent about half of the time cleaning and selecting different parts. (also I like to overpaint when it's about render, very relaxing)

@Sashimi: do you want to talk about it? ;) Got a critique - skip not helpful parts, analyze and use helpful parts. As I said it was more like "-oh mate, it's so good" "-no it isn't, you can do better if you...". Yeah, it could be worded better (I need better english skillz).

Damn, I need to learn how to not make walls of text. But art is kinda complex thing, it's hard to simplify.

Dugar: "I've had it up to here!"

realbboy: It might just be me but I think the perfectly rowed scales despite the curvature of Quill's body looks kinda weird. I'm not really sure if this could be easily fixed though.
Maybe angle the scaled based on where they are on the body?

bluedraggy: Naw, I'm with you realbboy. I actually did rotate the ones on her left arm at roughly shoulder level, but realized that still doesn't help since I'd have to rotate over every bend. If I go that route again, I'd use some hexagonal and staggered scales so they didn't form straight lines anyway. But I probably won't even try that again. Leather texture worked pretty well though.

Sashimi: @Radian: (Well, "not really good" doesn't mean "it sucks and you suck too".) See, when I first read the "not really good" part, I took it as "not good" and it struck me as basically saying the effort sucked. When I made the "excellent" remark, I wanted to show support for someone who is far better at this than I, but it's not in comparison to something like the Mona Lisa. As they say, art is subjective, and I think it was a good job. I'm glad people are willing to offer assistance and I definitely think we can offer suggestions without being disparaging of ones work. I guess If your earlier response was worded similar to below, I wouldn't have said anything.

Radian: Hey, I have some pointers that might help improve your technique if you're interested. Don't use black for shadows and white for lit parts. Since you are a novice painter, use simpler tools, use blending modes.
Layer 1(2,3) - line and flat colors
Layer 2 - multiply, fill it all, use mask, erase lit parts, use softer brush, play with layer color with HSV curves
Layer 3 - multiply, paint shadows in parts like tits, armpits, fingers.
Or better check Makkon guide, he write and show it better (more complicated though).
Now go and make new Magnum Opus that I think will be more to your liking.

Just a bit more diplomatic in my opinion. Sorry, I didn't mean for my comment to blow things up. I usually try to avoid stirring things up, but it doesn't always work out so well.

Radian: @Sashimi: I just wanted him to stop think "oh, it's good, I should continue this way" and start to think "I should find a better way to work and practice".
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sashimi: @Radian: Sent you a PM. :)

DOOMGUY11: Her outfit is nice and sexy

Nyflex: I believe soon will be... *sob

doodlemancer: I keep asking myself this every day too ( ; _ ; )

Tahrey: HOW U DO DIS?!

MikeyTheFox: Kaz will now place this down next to his PC, and look at it with pride when he procrastinates updates when he plays TF2's MVM with us XD

Kewot_Rokar: At this rate, each consecutive update is a Half-Life 3.

Tahrey: Maybe that's actually the thing. The frequency of each update is determined by t+1=t^lambda(t) or however that equation used to go.

Kewot_Rokar: @Tahrey: *Drops coffee* GREAT SCOTT!

Tahrey: Ah, I was getting confused with something else.

It's actually

Where N (or A) is the amount (or activity) left at time T, and N0 (or A0) is how much you had / how active it was at time 0.

Tahrey: * N (or A (or U)) is the amount (or activity (or update rate))

DOOMGUY11: Fucking Christ it's something worth showing off! It's cool!

Skoon: @Skoon: *on

On, you doofus. Envy my typing skills. >.<

Sashimi: Awesome Draggy, I really like the toothy edit. Beautiful!

Radian: I can say this coloring looks much better :3

Toryu-Mau: ... May B add A VORE tag? >):^?

gpainfox55:

Sashimi: @gpainfox55: I really do not like this.

gpainfox55: @Sashimi: does this make you uncomfortable or something?

Sashimi: @gpainfox55: Well she looks like Jay Leno, and that just ruins it for me.

bluedraggy: Weird, I was thinking of Jay leno too. But you gotta admit it's funny!

DOOMGUY11: Wow that face it tells me" ik you love me, so why don't we wrestle a lil?"

bluedraggy: I know - the background really sucks. That's why I don't do draws. But I like the rest pretty well. There may have been the LITTLEST sense of urgency with finishing though because the next one in the series is my absolute favorite Rajirra ever - but I'll leave it to Sashimi to post the drawing for that one.

Rick2tails: Rajirra looks nice here !

Nyflex: 'Sorry but can i borrow your heart?'

Sashimi: Ooo! Thanks Draggy for coloring! I'll get the next one posted in a bit.

Toryu-Mau: ... The fluttering thing has caught Khajiit's attention.
Better surrender it to her before she takes it by force~ >);^]

DOOMGUY11: She is about too rip your heart, out better confess to her how your heart feels, before she asks it herself(good pic)

bluedraggy: Ended up going with the shiny version, and copped out on the water and just put in a photo. But I likey! And if she has certain bazooka-like attributes, I can at least say I stayed with the original linework. Amazing what shading can do.

Sashimi: Ahh, she's "Kink" of the world!

bluedraggy: Heh - it's a Misheard Line. (Wouldn't make sense if you think about it). There were two scenes, the King of the World one with Leonardo, and a Flying scene with Kate Winslet. They get confused. Though I hope I didn't make this one THAT kinky!

Rick2tails: looks great! good coloring!

bluedraggy: Thx Rick! So, is this officially the Only unabashedly happy Quill that Kaz has ever drawn? I think it may be.

Toryu-Mau: @Sashimi: ... Hehe, that's spot on. >)X^D

Bakannon: For some reason I remember the original version of this very clearly from the stream. Regardless, I do really like the mixed media look.

DOOMGUY11: Katia is seriously considering pushing her oof the boat

bluedraggy: I was the PICTURE of modesty and purity with this one. I didn't even make the SLIGHTEST indication of anything untoward in this image. Not even sweat! (oh, dammit - Raydio that would have been cool too!) I'm the picture of innocence! Any alternate versions are purely hack jobs.

And after Radian's comment on Red Eyes Katia, I broke out my ancient copy of Poser, loaded that ancient Krystal model, posed her similarly and put the light source where it is here. This is Goddamn Accurate! (well, pretty much anyway).

(Now I'm going to wish I'd made Sweaty Fitia.)

Raydio: Thanks Draggy!

madmanransom: Is nice, yes.

Sunny: Her head is not the thickest part of her body! This picture is non-canonical!

It's still good, though.

Rick2tails: I like this quite a bit ! :)

bluedraggy: @Sunny - She must have lost a lot of excess weight doing all that exercise. (From her head!)

Well, actually it looks more like it was redistributed. Maybe she was learning some new weightlifting techniques from Quill. (I'll let you-all ponder that one.)

Sashimi: Fit and trim katia is a very nice!

DOOMGUY11: Katia looks nice like this it's adorable as fuck

Rick2tails: ah yes she is looking through my sketchbooks. lots of naked khajiits and other ladies (and gents) in them Kaz drew that for me at a Cafe Rio in Maryland.It was worth the drive from Pittsburgh to hang out with him for several hours.

bluedraggy: I'd not done any for awhile. Enheldor sent me over a bunch of old commissions from Kaz and I settled on doing this one. Porcupine Dodger finds an interesting illustrated how-to book.

bluedraggy: Oh, sorry Rick! I thought that was one from Enheldor. My mistake for sure.

Rick2tails: no worries. thanks for the color job on it!

Sashimi: Nice to see some more coloring Draggy!

DavidTheZettaNerd: "I had a boner" - Kira Yoshikage

DOOMGUY11: *Lusty Argonian Maid*

Asperger_kitten_1337: *nature channel narrator voice*
here we see a porn writer in her natural habitat
that natural habitat... is very nasty

Dugar: The Night was Dark and Full of Terrors.

bluedraggy: Q-W confirmed ghost writer for some old fat guy.

Sashimi: The best ideas come to mind whilst nekkid! Lol.

Rick2tails: I could make a suggestion of having a writing partner under the desk but that might not actually get much writing done either.

durandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6dbbQKPdNI

Meow-mix-king-44: "Q-W In Her Box Of Fruit And Booze She Calls A House, Writing About (Katia porn? I don't know.)"

Rick2tails: Katia porn would be an excellent topic for her to write on.though after she did, shed probably be embarrassed and crumple it up into the trash

CandyDragon: this is me rn tbh

DOOMGUY11: *spills bottle* oh no...

bluedraggy: I kinda ran with GamGyuls' Royal Katia. Oh, the things that could have been if she just wouldn't have jumped out that window.

Sashimi: Is this future Katia? The possibilities!

Toryu-Mau: ... ( Cowars at the royal presence ) >):^c

DOOMGUY11: Hmm maybe make people consider Sigrid a threat if she was to accept the responsibility, or not people like Sigrid too much anyway >:/
