Rick2tails: first rule of the Kvatch mages guild?

Toxic: Do you think 191 comments on a single image breaks some kind of record on this site?

Sashimi: @CandyDragon: Tue dat!

Sashimi: @Toxic: I'd like to believe we broke some sort of record anyhow.

2324millipedes: @sashimi where did you get the picture of rajirra with stephane?

CandyDragon: @Asperger_kitten_1337: lol it works if you right click on the broken image and click view image

CandyDragon: @Sashimi: This comment section has 41 images within it. I think we can get to 50 in the next subverted piece of art!

CandyDragon: *42. (What a great number to end on though)

Sashimi: @2324millipedes: That was a pic of katia with stephane that I hack edited with MS Paint.

Sashimi: @2324millipedes: The original: Hack:

Sashimi: @2324millipedes: I forgot that I made an improved version later.

Atum_Doxhun: @WassapDude94: @FriendOfFennecs: большое спасибо всем!

WassapDude94: @Atum_Doxhun: Look uh, i may be able to translate Daedric but i dont know what language is that.

Atum_Doxhun: @WassapDude94: fear not peasant, as I'll be uploading a new chart to Cyrillic soon enough!

Atum_Doxhun: @WassapDude94: I meant to write "citizen" not "peasant"
Sorry about that

WassapDude94: Keks in daedric

Atum_Doxhun: @WassapDude94: bitching in the comments in Daedric intensifies

WassapDude94: so hey now we know how to do daedric but i would love to know how to do it on other platforms pls kaz

CandyDragon: I don't understand. Lyr ekem ayem roht geth?

AMKitsune: @CandyDragon: Looks more like a n than a g to me.
@WassapDude94: Not Kaz, but what do you mean by other platforms? Do you mean how to use daedric on other sites, or how to implement the system used here?

WassapDude94: @AMKitsune: I mean implementing this system

furnut: If Sworddog ever got her own comic, she'd be out there dual-wielding swords with Great Justice.

TemporaryFace: This is astonishingly well done for such a silly concept.

I mean DEADLY SERIOUS CONCEPT.

AMKitsune: This is so becoming a dungeon in the Minecraft server.

Man_Of_Mer: This is cool and all, but I don't like the idea of sworddog being anthrosized.

CandyDragon: @AMKitsune: There's a minecraft server?!

AMKitsune: @CandyDragon: There used to be. MikeyTheFox used to have a prequel themed minecraft server that I helped him run for a while. Decent servers cost money though, not many people donated to help with server upkeep and more important life expenses too priority .

AMKitsune: @AMKitsune: *took

korblborp: Katia never asked for this...

Baz1S: They also give her a nose?

MetalC0Mmander: I think it's supposed to be an elf.

MetalC0Mmander: Wait my bad I think I'm seeing the nightmare king in the background.

korblborp: It's cyberpunk human Katia...

CandyDragon:

Grape: I didn't fight for your rights. I fought for the minds of innocent children. </3

KillerfishSG: I don't see how this would be tagged "lewd"? O_o

Geravind: Wow, she looks pretty realistic! (except clavicles maybe) But... why does she have an argonian face?
The emotion is clear and delicious! But something with the facial details is not... -well-... feline.

KingClaws: I've seen more explicit pictures in childrens books.

Honestly the linked version should be allowed to be posted here.

AMKitsune: I know some other people will see this as being lewd and questionable simply because it contains nudity (partial or otherwise) but I think it's actually a very beautiful rendition of the scene.
Pose, details, lighting, it all looks like it could have been painted from a real life reference.
I have to ask, did you paint this in colour then desaturate it or was the whole thing actively painted in greyscale? The reason I ask is because I notice that she's missing the lighter colouration (or shading in this case)on the front of her torso. Just a little thing that is often overlooked but really helps make Katia as recognisable as she is.

Also, I don't know if you're aware, but looking at the histogram of this, there's nothing at the higher and lower ends of the brightness range. I don't know whether that was a conscious decision on your part, but applying a quick 'auto curves' adjustment to it really ups the contrast, making the light glow and the shadows deeper without loosing any of those glorious brush strokes. Something to think about I suppose. In case you're interested, I've made a quick comparison of the same image with different level adjustments on it to show how some of the various level adjustments can look.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnbv9zxkpalaa45/redruin%20image%20comparison.png?dl=0

The second image should be 'mathematically perfect' (with a 0.11% clipping threshold) as far as pixel levels go, with (practically) none of your original detail being lost. The third image is just some further tweaking I did purely by personal taste. Your image will look slightly different from one monitor/screen to the next so no single image will look the best on all devices. Make of that what you will.

Once again though, this is an extremely beautifully made scene that I personally wouldn't even consider questionable. The version that you linked should really be kept up to as it's a shining example of actual 'artistic' nudity. Extremely tasteful and well put together.

I really hope we'll be seeing more of this style of artwork from you in the future.

Tahrey: Since when was a low cut blouse considered in any way explicit? Only answer if you can name an example from the last 25 years in countries without heavily filtered internet. I think I've seen worse than this on high street advertising hoardings.

Presumably the NSFW applique on the thumbnail is simply because a nippley version happens to be linked in the source.

Artwise, me likey lots, though it took a moment to work out that it wasn't (WE DON'T TALK ABOUT) The Razorblade Incident.

bluedraggy: I like the NSFW designation actually - not that THIS is, but the linked one is gorgeous too. And nothing calls attention like a Questionable! I bet stats show those get a lot more hits than nonNSFW.

woundedkneecap: Beautifully painted, Katia sits up in bed and wonders not only "who was in my mouth?", but "why?"

Kewot_Rokar: Probally the best Invision of a khajiit I have ever seen. Good job.

CandyDragon: This is questionable? I'm just clicking the random button and there are some gems here.

Maroc: Shoot em up reference?

FonkDerok: "I have all my fingers... And the knife goes chop chop chop..."

Riddle78: I think in a previous contest,Kaz,or one of the entrants,my memory's awful,somehow,on pure accident,completely mangled their hand in a non-permanent way. I think it was the baking contest. I think this image references that.

Toryu-Mau: PB & B : The Bread that Thirsts. }: ]

MetalC0Mmander: @Riddle78: Don't know if Kaz did it too but I know one guy cut himdelf trying to open up a can with a knife yes.

ammurin: @FonkDerok Technically, he hasn't lost any fingers, It's still possible for kaz to win!

Triskelion: http://i.piccy.info/i9/69902597cd392f6f34859d6c5e63a68a/1472848715/58680/1063005/Canned_chicken.png

AMKitsune: "Oh... bother... Now I'll have to re-clean this knife before I can use it again. What a mild annoyance..."

Kewot_Rokar: How did they get this picture of me?

CandyDragon: I imagine this is what was happening to Kaz for this last update

VashTheStampede: Well no wonder she's scared.

CandyDragon: Gold

Rick2tails: in honor of Pi day the other day. Quill drawn holding some pie ..in a bikini

Sashimi: Nom,nom!

CandyDragon: I can get behind this pi day thing :P

CandyDragon: Also, SilentOrbWeaver would like to say, that this is a very good drawing, if a bit rough around the edges, and deserves much more attention than what it got.

SilentOrbWeaver would've done it but no pc access so yeah.

Rick2tails: well its a bit rough because it was a free 15 minute drawing done by the artist Kandlin .he does a twice a month sketch stream where he draws 15 minute sketch requests for patreons of his .

Anowon: Katia is having another bad dream about giant kings.

What started off as a practice drawing of a hand turned into this abomination. There was a random character in place of Katia originally, but I changed it to Katia in order to post it somewhere, hence the cape. I couldn't draw her face correctly .

CandyDragon: @Anowon: Yeah faces are hard

this gives me adventure time vibes
