Zargothrax: @vsauce4: Thank you Vsauce, this was really unexpected! Also seems like someone else was familiar with Michel Katzaroff's piece on Beethoven.
Also, this chapel was burnt down not long after the events of Prequel (and DURING the events of Prequel as well)... so impeccable timing, considering the recent tragedy with the Notre Dame.
Zargothrax: @bjornhansenthemansen: Perhaps look up the symbolic meaning of shit in different cultures mythology and literature to acquire a deeper understanding on the meaning of shit. Don't just talk shit. Be the shit. I have faith in you bjornhansenthemansen.
Zargothrax: @bluedraggy: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this Fister.
Btw now that I think about it, this is probably what goes through someone's head when they are Eye-of-Fear'd.
Zargothrax: Not sure if this can pass by boruu regulations. If not, mods please take it down.
So. I made a sketch for this, then left it unfinished for more than half a year, but now I decided to finish it. The idea was having an absolutely mental Katia going savage in Tavia’s attic. Back then I wanted to make her look more feminine, but it just didn’t work, so I decided to go the opposite way.
Zargothrax: @vsauce4, @Rick2tails: Thanks guys! Btw now that I look at the finished drawing, the clothing covers the mistakes fairly well! I'll try to finish the other 2 aforementioned ones in the near future.
Zargothrax: So, was working on a drawing I put a lot of effort into. After a while I started to feel that despite sinking more and more time into it, it wasn’t really getting closer to being finished. So I started working on an another one as a break, that I wanted to finish relatively quickly. And I did the exact same thing with it lol.
So then I decided to make a really quick drawing that I wouldn’t overthink (this). Because of this, I gimped on the underlying anatomy and so it became distorted (I didn’t use a reference either), so I spent more time trying to fix it than it would’ve taken to create proper anatomy in the first place. Lesson learned. And it still looks somewhat wonky, but I decided to upload it anyway.
Zargothrax: It's been a while since I did one of these. Or posted anything, really, but something came up and I didn't have much time/energy to draw. But stuff's back to normal now.
Zargothrax: I once did this to my cat. He was occupying my revolving chair; something I disapproved of. I started spinning it a little, then stopped, but to my surprise, instead of jumping off he just didn't care (typical feline attitude). So I started spinning the chair quickly for half a minute. When I stopped, he was shaking his head left to right, then persisted to remain on my chair, but at least I had a good laugh.
Oh, I got carried away. This actually looks great!
Zargothrax: I have to agree with the others, this is some nice shading!
Also, well drawn cloak of grey tomorrow, and a plus for how nicely the drawing fades out at the bottom, instead of just "cutting off" at some point.
The only advice I'd give, is to pay attention to how the anatomy of a cat's nose really is. It's symmetric, if you draw a line down, from the tip of the nose along the surface, when it touches the mouth it touches the middle of the mouth. Because of how a cat's head/mouth/nose is shaped, there is a "notch" to the mouth, unlike with humans. You captured that well, but the centre of the "notch", and thus the mouth is off centre.
Zargothrax: Thank you all, for the feedback!
As for featured, I hope to make some stuff in the future that will be more worthy of such title. Maybe not at the moment. Some time later.
Zargothrax: I was just thinking about Astartes Gaius and >>89 a few hours ago, needless to say I was quite surprised to see this! Thanks Lapma, this just made my day!
Zargothrax: @twistNtwirl: In my opinion it would be a completely acceptable thing to "bother people here with a TL;DR". Even if it's long, noone is forced to read it, and in my opinion, many-many artists here would actually be interested in this information. Or maybe I'm just biased as I'm also known for sometimes leaving TL;DR ramblings.
But in case you disagree, please add me to the address list of said PM!
Zargothrax: I swear there is a famous artist who created in a similar style, I just can't remember who.
By the way, I just want to point out, I'm really glad to see artists illustrate Katia, and Prequels other characters differently than they are depicted in the comic. It's like seeing these characters again in an entirely new perspective; the perspective of the individual reader and artist.
Zargothrax: There is wisdom in what XenoYparxi said though. There are ways you can impove faster. In my opinion, that is by learning and doing technical stuff. If you wan’t to go down that route I’d recommend reading the comments under >>5710.

Our cats behave very well in the presence of the christmas tree, I hope that doesn't change this year.
