Zargothrax: I had this drawing 98% finished for more than half a year. I wanted to add more realistic fur, better shadows, etc., but as time went on, I had to realize, that my workflow isn't really compatible with what I had back then. So I just did the essential changes. I could have sat down and started to redraw a bunch of stuff, but I think it's better this way. It's still my most complex painting here by a long-shot. Also I feel like this is the perfect post to claim upload number 6666, could not let that slip.
The image itself depicts how Gaius sees Katia.

somethingsomething: It looks really good! The shadows look great and the small flames from the fire add to the feel of the piece.

Tabby_Catface: Holy shit dude Ok, this is glorious, but is it just me, or her shadow is breaking laws of geometry a little

Zargothrax: @Tabby_Catface: Thank you! And yeah I know. Made the shadows a long time ago. Also if you look closely the blood doesn't have a shadow either. But I felt like this was left unposted for far too long already. As I said, I could've started repairing everything wrong with this painting, but I didn't feel like it, as this is just far overdue already.

@somethingsomething: Thanks! Actually the fire and the embers were the main thing that I added now, not half a year ago. (the other was just reworking the shadows on the fur)

KuroNeko: Damn Katia, can you tone down the edge a bit, you're giving us daedra worshiper a bad reputation Now, wich one of you kids want some horrible diseases?

But seriously this is really cool, with the style of clothes and the shading you used it kinds of reminds me of a renaissance painting. Nicely done

lapma: I kinda dont know what to say, It is just awesome.

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: @lapma: Thanks!

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

APayne1776: Took me 3 days to realize that this post was 6666
I need a new brain

Caps: This art work is amazing!
Nice, work man.
Cthulhu will be proud.

lapma: It seems that someone is tired of waiting...

bluedraggy: Wow! I just had a total revelation! What if Kaz is experimenting with making the audience feel like Katia?! So just like Katia is waiting interminably on Asotil, here we are waiting interminably on Kaz! I bet that's it. Oh, so clever that guy!

semiafro007: @bluedraggy: bro, that´s above science

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.

lapma: @AMKitsune: I guess the only relatable part is being tired of waiting.

Tabby_Catface: @lapma: agree.

KuroNeko: "I've been here for only five minutes and I'm already bored"

Rick2tails: Tom Petty "cause waiting is the hardest part"

Rick2tails: whip problems... Katia as Panther/ Ann from Persona 5

Sashimi: Poor Kat, nothin seems to ever go right.

Rick2tails: well its not that nothing ever goes right it just that thers always something going wrong before it goes right.its almost like theres some higher power putting obstacles in her path on purpose before letting her succeed. nothings ever easy for her.

Tabby_Catface:

Tabby_Catface: Well, I'm going to buy myself a graphics tablet for the NY to draw better things.

lapma: @Tabby_Catface: Cool, any specific model on your mind?

Tabby_Catface: @lapma: Probably Huion H420. Moderately functional. Not very expensive. Looks comfy.

lapma: @Tabby_Catface: Im using huion myself (1060 plus).

Tabby_Catface: @lapma: Looks like a nice choice for those who likes to big surfaces.

Tabby_Catface: *to draw on

Zargothrax: @lapma: looks like we use the same tablet!

lapma: @Zargothrax: @Zargothrax: Nice, I guess great minds work similarly.

Zargothrax: I have to say, that little Katia turned out really adorable, nice job! And good luck with switching to tablet. Learning the hand-eye coordination will be really annoying for a while, it's not something you get used to in a few weeks. But the trade-off, the endless possibilities, being freed from the boundaries of physical media, makes it worth it.

Tabby_Catface: @Zargothrax: well, thank you.

Whistle: @Tabby_Catface: Что ты имеешь виду получилось случайно ?

Whistle: П@Tabby_Catface: может ты про идею пейзажа или позу ?

Tabby_Catface: this kat looks like a gecko, hah

Whistle: @Tabby_Catface: Да чуть есть сходство ,я не знал как рисовать голову так чтобы смотрелась будто она смотрит в сторону

Whistle: fixed

Tabby_Catface: @Whistle: брат, ты, я вижу, совсем не разбираешься в том, как работает интернет :) Прочитай свой текст: ты написал здесь ссылку на свой жесткий диск, в то время, как из интернета к картинке доступа нет абсолютно никакого. Если хочешь, что бы все увидели твоё творчество по ссылке, тебе сначала придётся загрузить своё художество на какой-нибудь файлообменник или в социальную сеть, откуда потом скопировать ссылку сюда.

DarthVader: I don’t understand Russian

Whistle: @Tabby_Catface:Я понил

Rick2tails: so much Russian around,why the big hurry? XD

Tabby_Catface: @Rick2tails: yo, I think this guy needs some feedback.

lapma: It seems those rats aren't as bad as Quill makes them sound.

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

Tabby_Catface: The more I see your art the more I start to think that there's some kind of a hidden message inside of them

though the message could be different for each of us.

Streetwind: Quill-Weave is annoyed that her housecat is making friends with the rodents instead of hunting them.

Why did she even get a cat, if it won't do its job?!

KuroNeko: Ths is a really cute Kat and Quill; just what I needed to feel better.
Katia is lucky those are probably youngs though, because those rats are the size of a dog and will eat your face.

lapma: @Tabby_Catface: I would never post some kind of secret message to influence your subconscious. And also i did not make this picture because i cant keep rat pets in my home but i want too and im kinda mad about this.

Tabby_Catface: @lapma: okay, you are cute

Zargothrax: Quill's like

Rick2tails: those are cute little rats

Rick2tails: well this doesnt look quite like little Katia maybe more like a 12/13? year old one ? cute picture though

Sashimi: Tween Katia is still adorable though!

Sashimi: Really like the dress twirl BTW!

bluedraggy: Katia celebrates her Quinceañera. With her guar doll. Both a happy occasion and a devastatingly sad one.

Toryu-Mau: ... Guar Guar would like to be put down. >)÷^{

Butterscotch: The term "hour-glass figure"
Never fit so well
But it's more like one of those wierd skinny boggle hour-glasses.

Tabby_Catface:

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."

KuroNeko: Awww she looks so happy

@AMKitsune: Making Katia feel better about herself is the best magic this ring could have.

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

NotGod: I haven't seen any DJ Katia art in this Booru that DeviantArt has.

Well. Or something.

Rick2tails: this is cute

lapma: @AMKitsune: She could have just licked it to check it out.

Tabby_Catface: @AMKitsune: Hideous Kojimous catlike fingers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Whistle: hatching is very cool done

Zargothrax: This is pretty unlike the drawings we usually see here, I like it. How was this made? Watercolor?

Betofall: @Zargothrax Thank you! It’s Graphite pencils that are water soluble. That’s why it has that watercolor look.

Tabby_Catface: that's a style!

KuroNeko: That's an interesting artstyle, it's pretty rare to see graphite drawings.
Nice work.

Whistle: @Betofall: cool drawing style, I did not know that you can so improvise

OgTariq: i like it, also welcome to the fan-art page UwU

lapma: It has been a while since the last time i drew her in Elsweyr, but I always enjoyed doing that (I love those warm colors) so I figured it wont hurt to do it again.

KuroNeko: I really like that style with no outline for Katia, it looks cute.
Nice work with the background, that's a beautiful scenery.

Zargothrax: Very cute, especially the legs XD

lapma: @Zargothrax: Once you said that, all I can see are baby legs instead of her sitting cross-legged.

Zargothrax: @lapma: Wait what? I thought you drew her having cat-like legs on purpose. That would've been the perfect balance between cartoony and racist. Let me demonstrate.

(yes I know these aren't entirely cat-like either, but this is what I meant)
Nice drawing either way, the pieceful setting makes it really pleasing to look at!

lapma: @Zargothrax: Your idea is way better then mine. And i would feel bad to say "Yea thats what i ment"
