AMKitsune: This is so... weird. Your character is unlike anything found in the comic, yet wouldn't look at all out of place in it. That's some impressive style matching right there.

AMKitsune: I can practically feel the chill in the air. Great job.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Have you considered using one of those artist's 'light boxes'? Seems like the sort of thing that could really help for these sorts of frame by frame animations.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=artist+light+box&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
There are some rather reasonably priced ones out there to from the looks of it.

That being said, there's a stylistic charm to the slight wiggle that comes with each frame being slightly different.

AMKitsune: INCOMING!!!

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: You see, the problem here is that you're assuming that Katia knows how to competently wield a sword.

AMKitsune: And now for a trick involving a yoyo that she's not ashamed of XD

AMKitsune: May your road lead to warm sands sculpted into a grumpy person holding fruit. (I mean, that's what it looks like to me)

AMKitsune: When your dreams are full of dark shadows for monsters to hide in, it's good to have a friend bring a little sunshine to your world.
That's a couple of cute kittens right there. Great job

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Honestly, I can only imagine how hard it would be to get colours and lighting right first time around when using a traditional medium. At least with digital, you can tweak things as many times as you want, but with something like this, there's little to no going back once you've laid down your pen strokes.
Still, if my brief attempt is anything to go by, darkening the scene to match it's night time/heavily overcast setting would make it rather dark indeed.

While some aspects of your picture may be a little over saturated (background grass and foreground water), I still like the overall brightness of the scene. The sky just doesn't quite match.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: You're most welcome. I may not be as good at raw shading as I used to be, but that won't stop me doing what I can . Your pictures are often so adorable (and easy to work with) that it's a pleasure to work with them. You've also shared so much of it here, this kind of thing is the least I can do to give something back.
@bluedraggy: Thank you very much. It took me a little while to figure out the best way to achieve that look, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out (it's a modified 'fractal noise' animation). For something that only lasts 5 seconds, this took a surprisingly long time to render. (the 3D lighting and shadows really take their time compared to basic 2D stuff). Still, I'm glad it was worth the wait.

AMKitsune: ...Peck

AMKitsune:

AMKitsune: As nice as this looks, I remain convinced that QW sounds like a typical, chain-smoking Oblivion Argonian, Katia probably can't play the piano, so will be playing chopsticks or something equally simple, and Aggy will somehow be producing kazoo sounds (because why be limited to an instrument's normal sounds, right?). But they're all having fun, and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Why, thank you very much. I can't say I knew that about the Dunmer, but now I do!

AMKitsune: This really is a nice one. It just has a nice simple, happy charm to it.

AMKitsune: @Caps: Simultaneous hugs for Quill-Weave, Sleipreindir and 2 other nightmarish abominations all at the same time!

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: You may not post full colour pics like this often, but damn is it a treat when you do! Now I have to ask. Roughly how long does it take you to make something like this?

AMKitsune: Ok, this is just too precious.
"We don't have much in the cupboards, so I'm going to get a pizza delivered. What do you want on your half?"
*Happy cat noises*
"Ham and pineapple it is then."

AMKitsune: This makes little to no sense to me, and I'm ok with that.

AMKitsune: It's odd seeing your work in blue instead of black for once, but it's still as adorable as always. I can hardly see what's wrong with her arm either.

AMKitsune: @Kazerad: Hmm, a fair theory, but have you considered the uniquely warm glow inside the fireplace, and how it contrasts against the rooms lesser lit areas?

AMKitsune:

AMKitsune: @bluedraggy: I was thinking more in terms of shading and texture work, but yeah, probably that too
(and thanks. I don't colour much these days, but it's nice that I still can when the mood takes me)

AMKitsune: It's nowhere near what bluedraggy would typically produce, but I just had to have a go.

Don't worry. It's a 100% genuine faux-khajiit fur shawl. She's not a monster...

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: What would you say was your inspiration for the outfit? I'm getting old Mediterranean vibes from the overall style and trim pattern.

AMKitsune: I have no idea what the context is meant to be for this, and I feel strangely ok with that XD.

AMKitsune: Huh, nice

AMKitsune: @Zargothrax: my thoughts exactly.

AMKitsune: Oh no, it's contagious. Now I'm smiling as well!
Adorable work as always.

AMKitsune: This is post 6666. That's not a coincidence... It's a sign!

AMKitsune: Id say "relatable", but I've never lounged against a tree on a grassy hill with a bottle of milk, a sweetroll and a butterfly perched upon my finger.

AMKitsune: @lapma: From the thumbnail, I thought she was showing QW the cat toy she found in the mage's guild money pile.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko: Fortify Self Perception 5 pts on Self

AMKitsune: "You shove the ring onto one of your hideous, catlike fingers and confirm that it has no apparent magical properties."
"You guess it does make you feel a little prettier, though."

AMKitsune: This is the wholesome ending that last picture needed. Thank you for not leaving the lizard sad.

AMKitsune: @KuroNeko:

AMKitsune: @PermanentFace: Let's not be too hasty here. I never said anything about stopping...

AMKitsune: KuroNeko has far too much emotional power. One minute you're melting in a pool of adorable kittens and smiles, the next, you're empathizing with a sad, crying lizard.
Let's just hope this receives a followup where sad Quill can at least get a comforting hug or something.

AMKitsune: While pretty much everything about this is good, Kat and Quill happily singing away there melts my heart like butter over a lava field (even if Katia might not be doing the best job of it XD).

AMKitsune: @OgTariq: All the more reason to stay wrapped up warm!

AMKitsune: @OgTariq: The booru doesn't know how to display thumbnails for svg files, so Kazerad made a generic one to get the job done.

AMKitsune: A little while ago when thinking up ideas for the Halloween theme thing, we considered putting the nightmare king in the background of the site before changing over to the soul cairn theme that we ended up using.
Lapma very kindly provided this vector of said king which was going to remain mostly invisible until the 'lightning' in the background flashed, revealing his ominous silhouette for a few seconds before fading away again.

AMKitsune: What is this, issue 1 of Captain Cyrodiil? Wherein a regular man with a burning passion in his heart becomes the worlds greatest soldier because of drugs.

AMKitsune: Hey look, it's Katia Hu-Managan.
Nice use of yellow shoes and gloves there.

AMKitsune: Ok, small round of applause because this is a genuinely clever photo.

AMKitsune: That's actually a really nice colour scheme You don't see light blues and yellows being used to accent white nearly enough in my opinion. Quill looks rather please with herself as well.

AMKitsune: @Zargothrax: I know where I'd rather go on holiday then.

AMKitsune: @Kazerad: I hadn't seen that animation series in absolutely ages. Takes me right back.
@KuroNeko: Your continued ability to draw and shade water never ceases to amaze me.

AMKitsune: Impressed, she most certainly is not.

AMKitsune: @semiafro007: I genuinely can't remember. I wish I could, but it was years ago, back when comments were posted on the old MSPA forums.
