Zargothrax: This balances out the nude pictures of the boruu pretty nicely

Zargothrax: Your toolset and style goes really well with the aesthetics of the nightmare king!

Zargothrax:

Zargothrax: Run Tavia!

Zargothrax: Got to say, really nice style and anatomy.
Good shading too, Bluedraggy!

Zargothrax: My previous comment broke, and it may have even broken the page a little, so mods, please remove it...
But basically what I wanted to say is that stabbing a little kitten is hearthless, even for a daedra. There is a special place in Oblivion for them.

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Perhaps. But on a second thought, probably not.
Eye of fear is basically once-per-day fear spell. We can't be sure how that would affect it's victim, but I think there are only 2 options: It induces a primal, but seemingly sourceless fear, or it makes the caster appear much scarier. Since "fear" is in the illusion school, not some psychic school of magic, it should be the latter. Since an illusion can be as vivid and unreal as you want, I think the effect (of fear, or eye of fear) would make you appear bloody monstrous.

Now that I think about it, I should one day draw Katia as a Bloodborne boss. That would be pretty close to what one would see after being hit by eye of fear.

Zargothrax: These are absolutely fantastic! And scary. Poor little Katia

Zargothrax: Btw. I love how everyone's drawing Katia as adorable and innocent (or slutty) and then I'm like... yeah. I swear nothing's wrong with me

Zargothrax: Okay, so damrok4321's daily drawing challenge sequence just so happened to have picked my favourite emotion (to draw), and it really inspired me to draw an angry Katia as well. Then I pushed her so far, she became barely recognisable as herself, and became so overkill, it started leaning into the "funny" category at that point so I decided to upload it.

It's sketchy because I didn't have time to "ink" it (really wanted to upload today).

Zargothrax: When I first looked at the thumbnail (where I looked at it from left to right, assuming there is a progression between the pictures, instead of having 2 different artists) it reminded me of William Utermohlen, artist who got diagnosed with Alzheimer's, then made self portraits of himself in the following 5 years until his demise, each painting becoming more and more distorted. For the record, yours look pretty good for being drawn with a mouse.

I've got an idea! Next April's 1st, every artist here, upload your best attempt at drawing Katia, or any other Prequel character with a mouse. Will probably be funny seeing each other struggling like hell.
Ehh, what am I saying noone will remember this comment by then.

Zargothrax: @Tabby_Catface, @bluedraggy, @APayne1776: Thank you! I'm going to continue experimenting with stylistic elements and see what happens.

Zargothrax: Quick gesture drawing I turned into Katia. Later, I wanted to wrap her in a blanket, to give the painting the sort of "cosy" look (and make it less lewd) but I still suck at drawing fabric and clothing folds, thus the results were terrible, so just gave her an actual bra and called it a day. Could've improved the lineart to make it cleaner, but I was lazy to redraw it all.

Zargothrax: @damrok4321: Good luck on your quest!

Zargothrax: "No match at all"

Zargothrax: Nice painting Tabby!
I especially liked the interaction with the point-light source, instead of having a one-directional source, like the sun (that would make all shadows appear on one side of the character).

Also, clean linework is hard as hell. When I draw, first I make a sketch layer, then over it, an "inking" layer, where I try to go really precise, but I no longer have to guess where each line goes. I think this video sums it up very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc2i0ctlYqQ.
I think the reason why this sticked out to me is because of the brush. Sketchy lines are okay in my opinion, if you use a "sketchy" brush, like a pencil-like brush, but you chose a brush that is intended for inking and clean lineart.

Still, nice art, that magic spell looks badass, it looks as if you used the picture of a fractal. Something I wanted to do as well one day!

Zargothrax: @Makkon: Totally agreed. I think the reason why moderation on the internet is generally based on nudity is because it's easy to verify for mods, and in the eyes of an uploader, it forms more deterministic rules, therefore foregoing conflicts like "why was my image taken down while <other artist>s art that is more lewd in my opinion wasn't?". But in my opinion, resorting to such rigid (and inaccurate, as you have implied as well) moderation rules just to forego incidents like that is still timidity at best. It might be justified on websites where posts flow in at such a rate that accurately assessing the intent behind each post is infeasible, but not here.

Zargothrax: This is unexpected. Maybe Elisa KATsenja would've been more fitting role for her though, especially considering Katia was trying to cross the border in the comic as well.

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Ouch, Angular-Kat's speechcraft skill is so high it deals damage not only to one's feels?

Never expected someone to make a drawing based on one of my own, therefore, I humbly thank thee!

Zargothrax: Especially like the shading around the belt, I always had trouble with clothing folds. Very nice painting!

Zargothrax: @Rick2tails: I thought all khajiits look the same
JK, that would be racist.

Zargothrax: @Dominik: @KuroNeko: Thanks, good people of the internet!
Maybe this is the evil twin of Katia instead, Angular-Kat, who is instead of being unfortunate, causes misfortune on those around herself, is suffering from nightmares involving a homeless guy, causing her to have a phobia of poverty, and is an adept with frost magic (also with front-end web application frameworks huehuehue).
Wow that was really bad, let's just forget about Angular-Kat forever. Will keep the style around though. Already have a few ideas how to improve it.

Zargothrax: @Sashimi: No! I took his design when drawing the snout. Apart from that, we both seem to have a preference for sharp corners / angular designs.

Zargothrax: Don't have too much to add here. Started out as a sketch that I intended as practice for myself on having a style. Then, I overcomplicated most of the drawing and spent much more time on it than I expected.

Zargothrax: It's not everyday that we see a hand-drawn animation here, well done!

Zargothrax: @Krozbott: She's holding her neck pretty straight, she can't fool us!

Zargothrax: How do you even draw these, Kuro? I mean, you said you were practising anatomy, yet I see now scribbles of previous attempts erased, guidelines, representations of body parts by simple 3D forms, etc., just perfectly drawn cats and lizard. If you just drew these "as is", you're pretty damn OP. Or did you practice like most of us do, then illuminated the paper from behind, placed an other sheet on it and inked that way?

Zargothrax: There is a saying that goes: "if I fits, I sits"

Zargothrax: This is really cute.
Also it's nice to see how many new artists joined the boruu lately!

Zargothrax: This was emotional, also really liked the twist. Looking forward to seeing similar content from you Draggy, in the future.
And yes, that's a pretty sky!

Zargothrax: This is really nice, especially for being "one of your first digital drawings". By the way traditional art is also welcome here.
For feedback, your linework is really nice! I remember having a lot of trouble drawing nice and continuous, "non-hairy" lines at first for contours, and I still find it hard. Good work on the simplistic shadows.
Her left hand looks shrunk, and somewhat deformed. Hands are difficult, aren't they.

Zargothrax: Very well drawn, welcome to the artists club!
The pose is dynamic, and the piece altogether tells a story (the infiltration), not just showing one of a character from the comic as is, which is not something anyone expects, it is a plus.
I like how you applied perspective on the feet. Realistically, at this distance it shouldn't be this prominent, but in my opinion, artists may bend reality a little to make a drawing more dramatic.
As for advice (take it or leave it): If you're drawing on paper, when drawing the pupils, or irises (for Katia they seem to be one and the same), always draw them as just a faint dot at first. This already shows where the character is looking, so if mistaken, can be fixed quickly, as erasing a dot is easy. Then, it is just a matter of drawing a circle around the dot, then fill. Drawing an eye, then realizing that they don't really look in the same direction is really painful to fix as an afterthought.

By the way, you didn't remove the exif data from the image before uploading it! Creeps online can read personal data from this metadata from the image. Sometimes it even contains the coordinates where the picture was taken. Also, there are instances where the exif data also contains preferences about how the image should be oriented, in which case an uploaded picture can appear sideways when uploaded.

Zargothrax: Katia's really thinking like a witchhunter now. Dangerously so.

I cri everytiem

Zargothrax: It pleases me greatly to see such quality content here.
Also this is pretty accurate.

Zargothrax: Absolutely badass!
(Think I'll just tag it so)

Zargothrax: @Norad2: General Kenobi!

Zargothrax: kaz hi
(Am I doing this right, guys?)

Zargothrax: Remarkable elegance in character design!
Also, Little Katia grew really tall, her parents must be proud.

Zargothrax: @bluedraggy: Some self-doubt and self-criticism is healthy and needed for personal improvement, but what you tell about your own works seems rather excessive in this regard; you did really well on this one. Drawing from scracth is not easy.

The anatomy looks correct (I could nitpick, but why?), the pose is not stiff, the water looks really nice (don't know how you drew that), most peolple struggle with hands, but you drew them very well, and the linework is good too.
Perspective is hard, though I suspect you meant foreshortening. It worths drawing the limbs as cylinders first as they are much easier to imagine and position in 3D space. This can help with perspective as well.

Zargothrax: Splendid painting!

Zargothrax: Player.setscale 0.1

Zargothrax: @Floopenson: I really like your attitude.
Also, nice, dynamic drawing.

Zargothrax: This is the kind of content I really like seeing here XD

Zargothrax: Ah shit, here we go again.

Zargothrax: Top 10 anime betrayals 2019

(btw I hope at least some of you are familiar with this crossover, because I'm planning more, but what's really the point if no one gets it?)

Zargothrax: So calming. Katia really deserves some serenity at this point.

Zargothrax: This is outstanding! Also possibly one of the scariest Katias this boruu has seen.
Also did you really draw the embroidery by hand?

Zargothrax: @XenoYparxi: Maybe because she doesn't have eyebrows. Come to think about it, how would one even distinguish a khajiit's eyebrows from the fur that generally covers their face? It all just blends together doesn't it?

Zargothrax: Wow, Picartosux, you've come a long way! Seeing artists here improve by a margin like you did is probably the most inspiring thing any artist can see!
