KuroNeko: It's nice to see some art of Katia's thief tunic, it doesn't get drawn as often as her hood, cloak and armor.
Nicely done.

OgTariq: coot gorl, also every time i see that red moon people and you draw i cant help but think of this one song called "Red Sun"

AMKitsune: ... is this really ok to be here? I mean, I don't think we've ever had to deal with the subject of graphic cannibalism before, but here we are with a precious sweetroll eating a sweetroll.

Dominik: Looks nice. And i hope that this bottle is just a water

lapma: @Dominik: It is "FUN" juice.

SomeShadyGuy: The Lusty Argonian Maid would be proud.

Asperger_kitten_1337: oh... oh! OH!!

SlenderDaYole: Well now, this was an "interesting" story.

Klonia_Managan: Neloth in Skyrim called the Nerevarine a "he" - but still, nicely done

scoopski: Is this the 37th Lesson of Vivec?

realbboy: So it got featured 5 months later? Hmm, I guess the featured masterpiece's work differently than I thought.

I do vague remember Enheldor talking about it.. and here it is: http://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/3883

Unidentified_BA: @realbboy: Here is a secret snippet of conversation we have to decide the featured image. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Toryu-Mau: Ey'Oh~ shoulda seen that coming, eh?

Unidentified_BA: @Pronin: Eh, it's not like a prize would be given away. Each selected image ends up with it's own special tag though!

AMKitsune: @Pronin: Featured masterpieces don't necessarily have to be 'masterpieces' in the traditional sense. Sometimes they're highly detailed works of art as you might expect, sometimes they're featured because of a funny, cute, clever or unique idea.

That variety doesn't lessen the value of being featured, but stops the position from ending up constantly being 'more of the same' and makes it something that anyone can potentially get.

picartosux: @Unidentified_BA: We need more dank modchat pastas, it seems like we miss so much potential without access to it. :(

Unidentified_BA: @picartosux: You're not missing out on anything, traditionally people inflate the value of moderation participation when really it's akin to being an online janitor.

realbboy: @Unidentified_BA: But you guys are really funny. Like, if you had to watch paint dry it would be enjoyable for us to watch you watch paint dry.

ARandomGuy: awwww

OgTariq: this makes Mae sad ;~;

semiafro007: nice drawing

KuroNeko: Nice, she looks really cute. I like her outfit.

Zargothrax: She isn't just gorgeous, she's on fire!

Btw, I've noticed a trend now, with the way you imply the iliac spine (the "visible" part of the hip bone). It is mostly correct on her left side, but has an incorrect orientation on her right. As if the right ASIS point was in front of her belly. Well, I know it is almost futile to try to convey 3D positioning and orientation with words so just look at this https://orig02.deviantart.net/972c/f/2011/079/d/3/anatomy_hip_male_by_bardi3l-d3c272p.jpg. No I can't understand the text either :D. But after a quick search this is the only x-ray reference I found.

Tried to show it myself but please be aware of that I'm no professional either. The red lines indicate the iliac spine

lapma: @Zargothrax: yes,I felt something off about it,I just couldn't pin it. But now we know where I messed up

Rick2tails: this is really cute. its always nice to see Katia in different outfits

Dominik: Indeed, pretty cute.

bluedraggy: At least, I THOUGHT that's what you intended for the "boots" Zargothrax! But at least the leggings are a bit more clear. Hope you don't mind - kept me entertained the last couple days. :)

DarthVader: Ayy that isn’t bad!

APayne1776: I like it

Zargothrax: @bluedraggy: Whoa, thanks for the contribution, I'm humbled! And yes that is mostly what I intended for the boots, as I first drew her naked for anatomy and was later to lazy to draw the boots normally. Well technically my idea was that her boots have the nose cut off for the toes, but now that I look at it, the feet part clearly wasn't boot-like at all, toe part cut off or not, so I think this interpretation is actually better!

bluedraggy: Thanks! Now if we could just convince Quill-Weave to give it a go. :)

Rick2tails: very nice work bluedraggy (and zargothrax )

Dominik: I was wondering when someone will paint this. No disappointment, it looks great

semiafro007: Do a nollie

Tabby_Catface: really nice one, looking at all what've been posted here lately

OgTariq: smexy

Rick2tails: sexy skat8r kitty! :)

Zargothrax: This is a pretty damn good drawing!

CoCoNO: Who drew this?

lapma: I'm drunk khajiit Cyclops!!!
Fast little drawing since its been a while since last time i uploaded.

Dominik: Maybe Asotil as Heavy will drink if Katia doesn't want. Cool art

semiafro007: Dominik, yeah, and Nah could be the medic

Porter: "if i was a bad Demoman i wouldn't be sitting here explaining it to you know would i?"

Zargothrax: @lapma: "its been a while since last time i uploaded" That "while" was probably less time than the amount of time between my 2 closest consecutive uploads.

lapma: @Zargothrax:Maybe, it's more about me, I just find that if i won't find time to draw 1 think a week.

CoCoNO: Demo kat

OgTariq: smexy

Dominik: Really good sketch

semiafro007: This is how Katia won in the battle of dances

APayne1776: Lovely

KuroNeko: This is great. The anatomy is so good, her body and pose look very natural, I'm kind of envious of your skills. Also Katia looks adorable as always.

Zargothrax: @OgTariq: @Dominik: @semiafro007: @APayne1776: @KuroNeko: Thanks!

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Technically I just used a study I found on deviantart as a reference https://www.deviantart.com/vixenkiba/art/-Pose-Study-01-Pole-Dancing-505722561. If you are good at gesture drawing, and have at least some anatomy knowledge, making drawings like these off of references isn't too hard (just don't trace, tracing is for losers).
I'd say making this was a lot more fun than doing the kind of drawings I usually post. It's like as you push more polish into a drawing, at some point it kinda falls over an uncanny valley. Sketches are like on the peak at the left of the valley, well inked, colored (and probably even shaded) drawings are on the right peak. As I make a sketch into a final drawing, I sometimes can't help but feel as the drawing was getting worse, and only after a considerable amount of work does it start to look better than it could have as a sketch. But that's a lot of time and effort.

Rick2tails: Katia is the best dancer ever!! :)

KuroNeko: @Zargothrax: I'd rather cut my hand than trace, the end result may look like shit but at least it's shit I worked hard to make.
and yeah I know what you mean, someties when I start inking my sketches, It feels like a downgrade and only when everything is inked, colored and shaded that I can see the improvement.

bluedraggy: I did a couple trace drawings. Yeah, it doesn't look good. Won't do that again.

semiafro007: oh shit, the fire nation! nice drawing tho

OgTariq: kats a firebender now

KuroNeko: Cool, I hope she will not get half of her face burnt off though.

Zargothrax: Really badass, I love it!

Dominik: Those fire fists will kill more imps in future

Atum_Doxhun: Would like to apologize in advance to Makkon for using his style and design without permission. I like their work a lot and thought if I was able to use it in some extent into pics I would like to see be made.

Makkon: They say emulation is the highest for of flattery, I'm not upset. I think this is a great drawing, but there's definitely some rough places where you didn't have reference (such as the legs and feet). Your proportions are good. Keep drawing and practicing, as you do you'll start to find your own artistic voice. Would definitely love to see more bender prequel characters!

Atum_Doxhun: @Makkon: thanks. It means a lot. I really like the idea of Katia in fire ending routines. Will possibly post more.

Rick2tails: very nice work!

semiafro007: My other version of this engraving, the only difference is that it is in black and white, like the original work. time to run again for your lives

Zargothrax: Did you just desaturate the other, or did you start out with grayscale and added color later?

semiafro007: artist:Zargothrax, I started with grayscale and then I added color with multiply

Dominik: "I think she spotted us..."
