Kazerad: @Baz1S: of course not! Address that unsightly lack of profile pic at once.
@ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I'm comparing them on the basis that they're both seen as lesser for sexual behavior - the artists by you, and Katia by herself and others in the setting. When you say it's different for Katia because she had a reason, it still pushes this idea that it was a bad thing made justified through other factors. Like, as though a hypothetical Katia who remained pure and monogamous would be a better person than the one we ended up with. Or, as though she's still getting a black mark on her permanent record any time she used someone for sex just for fun.
I think best thing you can do for people like Katia is to fight the idea that sexual behavior is a bad thing. Or fight the idea that sexuality is somehow mutually exclusive with more positive interactions - as though the people drawing her ten cup sizes up are incapable of appreciating her as a character. You're free to do what you want within the bounds of the rules, but I disagree with your perception that it's being "protective" of Katia. You're just forwarding the kind of puritanical dichotomies that cause people to be seen as either "for sex" or "for good and proper things" that she struggles with.
Kazerad: @The_Pitiful_Writer: I actually try to drop the implication that they were the more human-looking breeds shown in Daggerfall (basically just elves with tails), though I don't think I ever outright say it. When katia says she's never met another suthay-raht khajiit, though, she doesn't mean other than her family - she means at all. She didn't meet another "animal person" until she was in her teens.
I try not to correct people though because they do a lot of good art of her with parents that look like her (or sometimes, parents who are literal cats)! I like seeing the stuff people make, and it's not like fanart can't take things in its own direction. There's certainly a lot of 90s-skater, sci-if, or ultra-shapely Katia art that does.
Kazerad: @Pepsidude: well HE had a massive team of doctors, engineers, and fashion designers (mostly the latter) helping him! I probably have less than six.
Kazerad: @Preston_Garvey: I told her exactly why I was ordering it. She brought a beautiful and immaculately prepared burrito, which I then began squeezing over a piece of paper and, eventually, ripping apart and sculpting. Midway through she came back and asked if I needed more beans, but I told her I was okay.
Kazerad: For anyone who is extremely confused: I was in a restaurant and someone paid me a bunch of money to "draw Katia and Quill-Weave kissing, using a burrito as the medium".
Kazerad: I am like 90% sure it was part of the request! Why else would I have drawn two characters with very different ages as children next to eachother?
Kazerad: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: see, my feelings on this one are that it's kind of on par with the drawings that have man-ass, nothing is really showing, and it's a pun. I think the pun part is important, because it recontextualizes the suggestivity a bit.
Kazerad: @Enheldor: Eh, sure, I went ahead and uploaded my local copy. I forget what randomly-selected fanfics these were based off of, and it's probably more respectful to the authors if we don't know. I am quite sure they are faithful depictions of scenes in the stories, though:
Picture 1 Picture 2
Kazerad: @Enheldor: after it descended into rolling a random number gen for fanfiction to read, I did a few illustrations of the stories. Not sure if someone collected them. None really qualify as Prequel fanart though.
Kazerad: @Vidiotdragon: FUNNY STORY. In the drunkstream we actually looked up the "how to become prom queen" Wikihow page to get an idea on what angle to take. http://m.wikihow.com/Become-Prom-Queen Check out the "dress the part" section.
Kazerad: @Streetwind: I'm pretty sure almost all of the memes here come from one person. She has taken on the burden of the memelord so none of us have to, filtering out the chaff and making sure that the finely-tuned palette of our booru receives only the dankest of memes.
Kazerad: @SoarFlyer: do you want me to fix it or do you want me to just pretend that the typo is your real name? I'll be honest, now that I look at it your name is kind of like "wheel car", or "water boat".
Kazerad: I never really made a way to post announcements on the fanart page, so instead I'm just going to post a big image that says "CONTEST WINNERS" and link a page about them: http://www.prequeladventure.com/long-gif-contest-winners/
Kazerad: @Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: You selected "dither" when exporting! You already know this though because you sent me a fixed version and told me to replace it, which I did.
Kazerad: @fate109: The special thing about gifs is that you can define how long each frame lasts! Pauses can last a long time, or quick animations can run fast.
Kazerad: Heads up: I'm extending the deadline to the 28th because some people have been running into difficulties exporting, and I feel bad for them. I have edited the image accordingly.
(creative usage of the rocks from the lava background, by the way, though I think that entire map made from scaled down limbs is about as far as I'll let people push this)
