AMKitsune: Makkon, your mastery of light and form is clearly in a league of it's own amongst Prequel fans. Your eye for detail is simply extraordinary.
Do you ever live-stream/record your creative process by any chance? I ask because it would be an experience to see something like this being created in realtime. If it only takes you a few hours to create something as impressive as this piece of yours, how long must it take to make something like the image above and (what I must assume to be quicker) images like the sort found in this?

AMKitsune: @Nyflex: Seems that the emoticon system doesn't like hyphens. Sorry about that. It should work for you the next time you try.

@Makkon: I'm a bit late to the party here, but my god... I don't know if there's anything I can really say to accurately describe how incredible this is. I knew you were a fantastic artist, but this just took your Prequel artwork up to a completely different level.

AMKitsune: @notabigthreat: It should be a pretty accurate count. The program actually counts how many tags it has before telling you. If I were to add more or remove some, the number would automatically adjust to compensate. Also, I seem to remember that some questions won't show up unless you answer 'no' in some cases. So try as you might, I don't think that you'll ever be able to get every tag in one result.

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: 9.9? I can live with that.

AMKitsune: @notabigthreat: Many thanks for the feedback. The typo's been fixed (It never even occurred to me that dissable was wrong. That's my spelling for ya). I also 'fixed' the quickmode button problem. Upon restarting, it resets the program to 'regular mode' (it is a combination of restart and reset after all). Still, at least the buttons text should be accurate at all times now (with proper spelling to!).

Also, to begin with, I thought your little slogan at the end there was a list of typo's. I was looking through them trying to find where they were in the program until I though "what does edification even mean?". A good indication that I didn't even include it XD.

AMKitsune: @Nyflex: You certainly did. Before I go ahead and replace it though, are you aware that your new version over on DA is smaller that this one here? Just thought I should bring that up in case it's unintentional.

- Reply
AMKitsune: @Nyflex: Sure. The best way to usually request a replacement is to use the 'report image' button over to the left (that way, all moderators get notified of it). Just mention that you'd like the image replaced and include a link to wherever you're hosting the new version (dropbox, imgur, another art site or anything like that).

AMKitsune: Aww, how sweet.

AMKitsune: Most Dragonborns need to speak 'words of power' to breath flames.
Katia needs only to hear 'puns of cat'.

AMKitsune: A fully grown Orc lifted with one hand? Someone's been working out. Or maybe it's just the suspiciously Daedric looking arm that's doing all the work. Whatever the case, I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of that arm or the business end of that glaive.

- Reply
AMKitsune: Isn't that just typical? She finally gets that brown paint out of her fur and now she's stuck with this?
The life of a badass is truly fraught with obstacles to clean fur.

- Reply
AMKitsune: Is there anything more badass than matching full-body armour and weaponry? If there is, it's not springing to mind.

Speaking of armour, I can't help but imagine that this could have been in some way inspired by the Nightingale armour with a little influence from Ratchet and Clank's Caronox armour.

Whatever the case, amazing design!

AMKitsune: @Radian: Don't worry, I don't know if it's even possible to look 'cool' while having a mouth based tug of war with a length of cheese (words I didn't expect to type today).

- Reply
AMKitsune: I'm going to imagine that those great piles of shinies were made up from the pocket change of all the monsters and bandits that this Katia's slain.
Unlike the Khajiit stereotype, it's nothing but good honest money.
(although with that much cash lying around, you'd think she'd invest in a comfier looking throne...)

- Reply
AMKitsune: Damn, Katia got tall, and confident.
I love the edge bloom and how the light shines though her clothes in places. It really gives the whole image a sense of 'other worldly grandeur', if that makes any sense.

- Reply
AMKitsune: Well this makes about as much sense as anything else that mad god says or does.
If I had to guess though, I'd imagine this scene might sound a little something like this

After all, one's barking mad and the other's a, well, a 'cat like person'.

- Reply
AMKitsune: The detail in that cross section is certainly impressive (if not a little concerningly detailed). Almost as if you drew this with a reference before you...
Have you been slaughtering other dimensional deities for your artistic benefit again?

AMKitsune: @DistantRoarOfWar:
@OppoQuinn:
Thank you both very much :).

AMKitsune: Not only do you make her an awesome badass here, but she's poking her tongue out a bit to! You've somehow successfully combined baddass with derp.
Bad-derp? Derp-ass? Whatever the case, it's undeniably brilliant!

- Reply
AMKitsune: Damn, by the time the comic updates, we'll have gotten so used to this new 'Badass Managan' that 'Regular Managan' will seem like even more of a noodle armed pansy (and pansy that tries her best though, and that's what counts).
@KillerfishSG: YES! I don't really follow the whole Warframe thing but if you're putting your hand to it, it's probably going to be awesome.
@Geravind: Probably modded.

- Reply
AMKitsune: Does this remind anyone else of Safe Seth's Magic Show (old flash animation) by any chance?

I can just imagine this little Katia spinning around, bouncing up and down, dancing and doing silly little magic tricks.
(I'm just going to pretend that the last part of that animation with the dragon thing doesn't apply here...)

AMKitsune: @unknown_victor: It's... Missing!
Perhaps she lost it in an epic battle of divine proportions (thus adding to her current 'bad-assery').

AMKitsune: Pepperoni? Pfft, peasant.

AMKitsune: Made this ages ago after seeing someone else's edit of katia playing with a ball of wool (or yarn).

- Reply
AMKitsune: I can't help but imagine Katia doing some kind of 'happy dance' in that last panel.

- Reply
AMKitsune: @notabigthreat: There. Hopefully that's the right one this time. In the future, you'd be better of using the 'report image' button to request a replacement (as we're far more likely to see a flagged image than a URL in a potential wall of text). As far as replacing your own images goes, this is a booru and just like other boorus, it's built for uploading images and commenting on them. Not much more than that. That's the role of 'social art sites' like Deviantart and Furaffinity.

AMKitsune: Of all the things to possibly point out, I can't stop thinking about how, in this context, that pearl earring makes absolutely no sense!
Also, I completely agree with ASW here.
All in all, amazing stuff (if not a little stylistically removed from the comic).

AMKitsune: @notabigthreat: Admin beseeched. What can I do ya for?

AMKitsune: That face is simply adorable! Those eyes especially. So shiny!

AMKitsune: This is so cool. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it's still cool :D

AMKitsune: That's it. There's nothing else to learn. Levelling up's useless and no enemy can stand in her way. Katia has achieved the ultimate understanding of the most painful magic there is. As long as Katia only ever encounters shirtless opponents, she'll never have to worry about a fight ever again.

AMKitsune: How could I accurately portray how utterly adorable this is?

That'll do.

AMKitsune: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Do you have your merch yet?

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: It's probably the eyes.
And possibly the over abundance of yellow.

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: We already actually have a sketch tag. Having an additional tag for finished images might be a little overkill though (seeing as most of the images uploaded here are considered 'complete'). Also, you've hit the nail on the head with your definitions there. The knock-off tag should only really apply to images that are based off of/edited from someone else's work. It's not really an edit or recreation if it's simply a continuation of work on a currently ongoing project.

- Reply
AMKitsune: @POMA: It's basically for anything that's either an edit/heavily inspired recreation of something else. We used to have 2 sepperate tags but there were slight issues with them often being used interchangebly and for the 'wrong reasons', so we merged the tags into one 'cover all' tag that could be used for anything that could be considered a derivative work.

AMKitsune: That point where you're so tired, you're effectively drunk.

Go to sleep Katia, before you do something stupid...

AMKitsune: This cat's named Katia, so why not also look like Katia?

AMKitsune: @Adroma: Or in this case, just long hair.

AMKitsune: I always love seeing when people mix Katia's outfits together and create 'her adventurers robes' (as I've come to calling them). As an outfit, it looks like just the sort of thing an adventure bound mage could be seen wearing in an actual elderscrolls game. Fantastic stuff.

AMKitsune: You can keep yer filthy Skooma, it makes our bellies bleed.

AMKitsune: @RoninSmall: Not at all. If your sketches are anything like this, I can only imagine that the booru would be more than pleased to have them here. :)

AMKitsune: @RoninSmall: That pose is really nice. Simple yet dynamic. As far as criticism goes, there are 3 things that are apparent to me that feel worth mentioning. Firstly, as I believe Radian mentioned above, her torso is a little long compared to the rest of her body. You'll see in the image below that I've edited a version of your picture to have a slightly shorter torso. I probably haven't given her the best torso length possible, but I'm sure you'll get the idea of what I was trying to achieve. Secondly, I increased the size of head just a little bit. This could very well just be personal preference, but I felt that her head was just a little bit too small. Whether that's because I'm used to her normal cartoonish proportions or whether her head seemed disproportionately small by human proportions, I'm not entirely sure. Finally, while I haven't made any adjustments relating to this, the way her robes contour to her body and the number of visible folds gives me the impression that the robes are made of a very light material like silk or something like that. I'm not sure if that's the look that you were going for or not, so I'll just bring that up as an observation.

AMKitsune: I'm getting a weird 'diversity mural' vibe from this (and its sister picture) and I'm not sure how to feel about that XD.

AMKitsune: @YUKAN: There we 6 sticks of 'cheap chalk like substance' before she started. Now there are 9 yet none were added! Explain that with your science.

AMKitsune: @katiaaitak: Despite what many may say, tracing can be (and often is) a good way to memorise certain styles of drawing (which can later be adapted into a style more of your own) and get comfortable with a particular medium, be it pen and paper or digital.

You can almost think of it as the artistic equivalent of stabilisers (or 'training wheels' as they're sometimes called). In time, you'll find yourself relying on direct references less and less until you eventually find yourself not needing them at all.

One thing that I would suggest though, when remaking or creating something that's heavily inspired by someone else's work, it's generally good practice to be as upfront about it as possible. I've found that a great way to go about that is to both credit the original artist and provide a link to their original image. While some people will understand that you're using images like this to improve your abilities, there are many people out there who'll jump on it for being a rip off (in the actual sense, not the tongue in cheek sense that we have here as a tag).

By doing this, your viewers would be left with no doubt what your intentions were when creating your image.

On a personal note, I usually try to get the permission of an artist who's work I'm working on/editing before I upload my version. I'm not certain that this is necessarily needed, but given that the work's mainly that of the original artist (in my eyes at least), I prefer to make sure that they know and are OK with someone else uploading their own version of the original work. So far, I feel that I've been extremely fortunate with everyone I ask saying yes so far. It would seem that most people are OK with it as long as you offer to be open and transparent about the derivative nature of your image. Again though, that's just something that I choose to do out of respect to the original artist. How you go about it would be entirely up to you.

Also, that's some nice clean lineart and colouring there. What program are you currently using?

AMKitsune: After drawing a series of cats on my little chalkboard, my sister decided to pull up a reference pic on her phone and draw Katia. The hand doesn't really match, but in her typical fashion, she doesn't really care XD.
