Skoon: I want a mod that replaces Frisk's sprite with little Katia.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Skoon: I can provide that.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: :sosad;

Skoon: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: That'd be an amazing sprite swap! :D

OppoQuinn: This is awesome.

Toryu-Mau: Goat mom can make even sadcat feel better for sure.

Guardian: I need that mod

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: There we go it is flipped now, really nice work you've done here!

Guardian: Finally fixed the image thanks for the compliment although I probably won't do things this big a project until I get more experienced

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Guardian: Perhaps you should get a drawing tablet?

Guardian: I might which do you recommend also what programs should I get? I'm a little new to drawing with tablets and have only used them once or twice at school.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Guardian: I use SAI, but you could also try Graphics Gale

AMKitsune: @Guardian: Paint tool SAI (That's it's full name) is a favourite of many 'drawing' focused artists. It has built in brush brush stroke smoothing capabilities which can help make your lines and curves look smoother with less judder and roughness. It also has special 'lineart layers' on which you can draw your lines and then click and drag the points of the lines around as you see fit afterwards. Very handy.

The biggest downside to SAI is that while it does what it does very well, it lacks quite a lot of the features found in 'more comprehensive' image editors like photoshop. You may not need or want these features right now, but it's something to bare in mind.

Moving onto photoshop, if you can get hold of it, that's one of those 'once you have it, you'll technically be able to do pretty much anything with it' kinds of programs. While it has got drawing and painting features and tools built in, it's primarily a photo editor, so as far as layering brush strokes and creating lineart goes, many people prefer SAI. Then again, some people swear by photoshop and use practically nothing else. It's one of those personal preference and 'what you're used to' kinds of thing.

Given how much Photoshop costs (and if you can't get hold of a cheap copy), I understand that the Gnu Image Manipulation Program (or GIMP for short) is essentially an open source (FREE!) version of photoshop with most of the the same tools and features.

Generally speaking, those are the sorts of programs that most digital artists seem to gravitate towards as they can offer a wide variety of oppertunity for creating art of all kinds of different styles.

Programs like graphics gale are, to my understanding at least, limited more to sprite based art. I've asked Kazerad himself about his experience with it and he said that "It's optomized for sprite animation. For PRequel, it's honestly probably not the bestchoice", so while you can make larger pictures with it, you might find it easier in the long run to use something else.

Quite honestly, there is no simple 'best program' to use. Try to get hold of as many different ones as you want and try them all. Some people stick with one program while others use multiple programs for different purposes. I've seen recordings of drawings by PlagueOfGripes where he draws the lineart in SAI and then moves over to photoshop to finish the colours.

Experiment. You'll find something that works for ya.

Also, nice scene here

Enheldor: @AMKitsune: I mean, you CAN get a copy of Photoshop for the cheapest price, free.

Also, I am not good at drawing, so take this next part however you wish. Based on what has been said before me, it seems like the best option would be to use SAI for lineart, then Photoshop for everything else, much like PlagueOfGripes. However, use whatever you feel most comfortable with or try to learn both and use each for what they are best at. Your call.

Skoon: Funny thing about the scale of the game Oblivion is that by lore standards you wouldn't be able to see the imperial city from the outer shore of the Rumare.

Yet in game you can see every northern city from around one spot.

PermanentFace: @Skoon: False. You can, in fact, see the City from the shore of Lake Rumare: "From the shore it is hard to tell what is city and what is Palace, for it all rises from the islands of the lake towards the sky in a stretch of gold." -PGE1

Skoon: @PermanentFace: I can't find it but I recall reading in deep lore that the bridge connecting the island to the mainland was so long that there were small villages on it.

That and by the scale of Tamriel in Arena and Daggerfall a map of Cyrodiil shows lake Rumare as being larger than the great lakes.

The human eye would never be able to see across that.

Gren: Aww, just when I thought there couldn't exist anything more adorable.

MetalC0Mmander: About the name Festive Holiday Disaster. I think that it should only be used for the whole essemble instead of just the cloak or the rest of the clothes. If it's too complicated then nvm I'll just start tagging every picture with this suit approprietly.

TemporaryFace: "Festive_Holiday_Disaster" is for the clothes. "Cloak_of_Gray_Tomorrow" is for the cloak itself. What do you mean by the whole ensemble?

MetalC0Mmander: Hell no! Festive holiday disaster for clothes that are one color what is wrong with you? And what I mean by the whole esemble/set it the cloak and the clothes.

Kazerad: @TemporaryFace: I've been using Katia's_Thief_Tunic for the clothes, Festive_Holiday_Disaster for the final cloak, and Cloak_of_Gray_Tomorrow for the earlier cloak submissions.

TemporaryFace: @Kazerad: As you command, my liege.

MetalC0Mmander: That sounds good.

Toryu-Mau: Who knew a haunting could be so... gosh darn adorable?

MetalC0Mmander: It would be nice if you tagged it as whatever this is a crossover with. Also if you explained why she is so muscular.

Kazerad: It's from Cave Story!

She's muscular because Cave Story is done in pixel art, so to be visually readable the characters need to carry guns the size of their torso.

TodoDeygulash: She's muscular because I like drawing muscles, even if it makes no sense for Katia.

CaptainLackwit: @TodoDeygulash: S'aight. Chicks with muscles rock anyway.

MetalC0Mmander: @Kazerad: Ah yeah I forgot Curly was wearing a red shirt. I thought it was white or pink for some reaon.

Man_Of_Mer: http://m.imgur.com/r/MuscleGirls/eWkcr

Is this what you want?

CaptainLackwit: @Man_Of_Mer: Tad overboard but I'll take that.

Toryu-Mau: Northern star AKA Peashooter would definitely fit her thematically.

Man_Of_Mer: What is this from exactly?

bazelini: Loki?

Sasquatch_boote: I thoroughly enjoy this. Way to go.

Geravind: JJR, good emotion implication!

Toryu-Mau: When rock bottom is above your own head, there lies a whole new world of desparation. LIKE A RAINBOW.

Gren: The cat is a spy!

Man_Of_Mer: Ooohhh. Sneaky sneaky.

Quintus: Beware the dawn of the Metal Age

MetalC0Mmander: @Quintus: YES! Submit or be destroyed by my army!

Toryu-Mau: Swift, like a Festive holliday disaster in the night!

8Aerondight8: @Kewot_Rokar: Her SPECIAL kind of sucks though...

MetalC0Mmander: Actually they are standard it's just that she has shit luck.

MetalC0Mmander: You know, why don't I make them up right now?

S:4 P:8 E:6 C:8 I:4 A:8 L:2

8Aerondight8: @MetalC0Mmander: Ahem *zoom in on the pipboy and flip the image* ahem.

MetalC0Mmander: @8Aerondight8: Well fuck me... Still SPECIAL is suposed to add to 40 for Fallout protagonist.

Kewot_Rokar: [url=write://post/view/2086#c6368]@MetalC0Mmander[/url]: @8Aerondight8: Well she is lucky. Why? She found Dogmeat.

Kewot_Rokar: I just looked over this again, and the back of Katias gun has "Rajirra" scraweld on it.

8Aerondight8: @Kewot_Rokar: Someone that's yet to be crossed-out?

korblborp: dogs and Katias living together! MASS HYSTERIA!!

Toryu-Mau: She didn't want to set the world on fire, but it happened anyway.

doodlemancer: tried blending with a different brush which made blending much easier. Overall color scheme turned out rather dull tho imo

Geravind: Dat ironic-sadistic half-smile...

Radian: Oh, I like this blending effect and smudge brushes at all. Also nice face expression.

angrybacteria: Really, who wouldn't trust a face like this?

Gren: This guy should be a politician.
"You can trust me. I am a humble servant of the Aedra. I will not disappoint you (and backstab you and steal all your belongings)."

Bob: @Gren:
Sounds like any airhead in congress.

Ba-dum tsh.

Man_Of_Mer: @Bob: *Applauds slowly*

doodlemancer: @Gren: technically it was Sigrid who did the backstabbing and stealing...all he did was watch

Toryu-Mau: And watched, he did.
Watched as his hero burned with her town.

tronn: I like her expression!

Geravind: @tronn: Imagine your, when you walk bareoot on hot sand.

tronn: Haha she's not merely tripping, she's also in pain!

Maroc: Pineapples o3o

8Aerondight8: @tronn: Graceful as a butterfly.

8Aerondight8: @Maroc: ;)

angrybacteria: I love the pineapple you added on the scarf.

8Aerondight8: @angrybacteria: You never know what else you might find. :)

Bob: @8Aerondight8:
With the toes scorched like the sand.

Toryu-Mau: Hot. Sand. Hot, hot, sand. Do the Gecko feet.

Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Just a quick edit I did of a thing I saw from Kewart_Rokar.

Sometimes Katia is just her own worst enemy.

Sasquatch_boote: Oh snap

POMA: you forgot 'laser' label on that gun.

Kewot_Rokar: @Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: I thought that was a portal, and the first thought to come to mind was "Now you're thinking with portàls".

Toryu-Mau: That moment when you look in the mirror and see yourself scowling back in disgust. It's one of those morning.
