AMKitsune: When I woke up this morning and checked the booru on my tablet, I saw the thumbnail for this and genuinely thought "Oh wow, Furrymoan must have had a go at 3D rendering one of Makkon's pictures."
But nope. It's just Makkon being unbelievably amazing.
AMKitsune: A quick 'Katia-ification' of a prototype logo proposition for Pepsikat(Pepsidude) that I mocked up a while ago.
Now it's Katia holding a board with something on it. What could it say? Whatever your imagination (and sense of moral decency) permits!
(I'm not going to actually put peoples text here. Feel free to edit it yourself for your own purposes.)
AMKitsune: @Furrymoan: Quite mad, but do continue.
I've got blender installed and now begins the process of learning the basics. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it XD.
AMKitsune: @Furrymoan: How did you make that 3d model? It's simple, yeah, but I've been wanting to get into 3d modelling for a while now and have never really given it a good enough go. If I could make something like this, it'd be a good start.
AMKitsune: While it's not a perfect replica, you can steal her look by giving yourself the in-game items "Green Robe" (player.additem 0007101B 1) and "Tan robe hood" (player.additem 0007101A 1). It's not as good as this mod looks, but it's not too shabby for using vanilla game assets.
AMKitsune: @Furomone: I don't mind in the slightest. It was admittedly a bit of a surprise, but not an unpleasant one by any means XD.
I'd all but forgotten about the dissolve blend mode. I couldn't see much use for such a 'binary' blending mode under normal circumstances, but it's evidently perfect for pixel art of this nature.
AMKitsune: @Furrymoan: Don't... you... DARE call your Kazerad: Adventure series 'shitty'! It started out good and has only gotten better and better with each passing update (and as of episode 5, yes, my opinion is very much biased XD). I'm really looking forward to seeing where this story goes.
Also, if it's Grape's ship and Katia's the captain, what position does Grape serve on board? And I'm a medic now? If that's not an incentive for the other crew members to stay healthy, I don't know what is XD.
I also have to ask, do you rotate (or otherwise transform) the images with 'fuzzy' aliased edges using nearest neighbour interpolation to distort the edges, or do you make it look that way manually?
AMKitsune: @The_guardsmen: I think Toryu-Mau was suggesting that Katia looks like she's ready to kick some serious ass and leave her victims significantly more flexible and less reliant on breathing than before... if you get my meaning.
AMKitsune: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: Don't be silly, you cut the pole above and below the effected area. That way she's free to roam with just a small piece of metal stuck to her tongue (which will eventually warm up anyway).
AMKitsune: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: Or better still, focus any of your remaining magika into a small, powerful flame and burn through the pole. (because simply heating it up to thaw it out isn't particularly witch-hunter like.)
AMKitsune: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: I pressed a button.
If Katia existed in the 4th era and was a member of the thieves guild/walking racial stereotype, this is exactly how she'd do things. Plus, as far as the art/animation style emulation goes, it's spot on.
AMKitsune: @Pronin: Personally, as far as actual drawing goes, I'd have to dispute that. Colouring things in digitally, once you understand the concepts of layers and blending modes, requires surprisingly little skill. It's mostly a case of how much time do you want to spend working on something. As with most things, with practice, you'll naturally get faster and faster which in turn lets you work more on a project before you feel "I've had enough of this now". Now shading, that requires some skill and I'm still trying to get better at that.
As long as you have the time and will to make things, you'll slowly make better and better things. (Seriously, if you want to see the sort of progress that I'm talking about, look at my old gallery. http://amkitsune.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/ . A lot of the older stuff is so crap and cringy by my current standards, I'm reluctant to show it the light of day, but if it helps demonstrate a point, so be it. Every other artist that you may consider 'good' will also have had a history of 'sub-par' work to. That's just how the path goes.)
AMKitsune: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: It's like a (weird) narrative driven slice of life game with likeable characters. People often tend to like that sort of thing (I know I do). Plus, the protagonist's a cat.
AMKitsune: My first animation from my first live-stream. It went much better than I expected (both the animation and stream itself!). So much so, I'll have to do this again some time :D
You see what you've done Kazerad? Because of all your recent bar/home streams, I've caught the streaming bug.
AMKitsune: @GoodIdeasAreOverrated: Really? I know about this one and mine, but there's another? I've either not seen it or it's completely slipped my mind.
AMKitsune: I don't really want to spam the gallery with alternate versions of things that have only just been uploaded, so I'll just leave this here for anyone who may be interested.

Also, is this meant to be a portal into the mind of a prequel fan? If so, looks pretty accurate to me XD.

Looks like Katia's found employment as a waitress. Let's just hope she earns enough to be able to afford some of that delectable food for herself.

Also, I went ahead and threw a handful of colours on it. Hope you don't mind.

The urge to colour struck and I had to obey.
Does Katia's Workout also completely flatten bellies? I should probably look into picking up a copy...

@MetalC0Mmander and @gpainfox55: Pfft, nah, it was only a matter of time until someone did this to these two.
@Kazerad: Isn't basing a decision off of one persons choice the complete opposite of democracy?
