Toxic: @Raydio: The only real problem I see with the left one is the arms seem a little thin/small, otherwise it's pretty good.

Raydio: I was thinking more of the pose and stature. Her stance defies the expression she makes. I was trying to practice this sorta thing here, but I’m still drawing “boring”: all anatomy and no character.

Fucking hell, I need more damn ass practice with this shit

Toxic: @Raydio: Welcome to the painful world of art

Raydio: @Toxic: I envy cartoonists :^

furnut: changing the direction and arc of her spine helps to get the poses you want.

for example, you can have her slump forward a bit for her tired/sleepy/drunk pose, with one hand rubbing her forehead.

for the shocked/surprised pose, you can arc her spine so her chest comes out but her head is reeling back in fright as her arms and legs try to get the most distance away from the source of the scare.

It helps to act it out yourself in front of a mirror. Try out multiple ways of acting out a pose and see how you position yourself, instead of trying to make it all up in your head.

Raydio: @furnut: This is so clutch, thank you. I’ll definitely reference real poses next time

Toryu-Mau: @Raydio: ... The irony being that cartoonists often envy illustrators for their ability to draw still arts in higher quality. >):'^[
It's surprising just how terrible at drawing some of the professional animators can be... it's as if it's a different medium entirely, even though it's so similar.

Toryu-Mau: @furnut: ... A great example of these principals can be found in the web comic Lackadaisy by Tracy J. Butler.
Tracy puts particularly heavy focus on the dynamic posing and sense of motion in all of her panels.
And the way her characters emote with exaggerated expressions that mold their entire facial structure is a truly something to behold.
It is what one would describe as "Illusion of Life". >):^D

Raydio: @Toryu-Mau: its prolly just different habits. Animators worry about line work more than gross anatomy to cut back on workload

Also I checked out that comic, man is she a talented artist

Toryu-Mau: @Raydio: I know, right~ the sheer amount of periodical research Miss Butler puts behind each and every object is insane! All those historical details! It's Madness, I tell you! >)X^D
But the funny thing is, Tracy thinks her own art is.... "Average". D^:(<
It's one of those "Artist's Dilemma", being perpetually unsatisfied with one's own efforts is apparently a lifelong curse for most aspiring artist who have the drive to constantly evolve and get better at their craft.
Passion is a double edged sword, after all. >):^]

PS: About animators focusing heavily on line work and foregoing gross anatomy to reduce workload, there is a certain artist... Vivienne Medrano aka"Vivzipop" who does both her animation and still art in her proprietary "Construction line-less Semi-smear frame style" that somehow manages to look Gorgeous in both medium even though she does it all the while completely ignoring anatomical proportions that makes sense, and not drawing any construction lines in the process which cuts a significant portion of production time out.
If you fancy, do check out her web comic "Zoophobia", and the animation projects in the same art style on Youtube.

Sashimi: @Geravind: Khajiit is a trickster at heart.

Sashimi: @Geravind: Yeah, without the dialogue to put everything into context, one can derive multiple meanings from this.

Streetwind: ...So when do we get to see the dialogue? =P

AMKitsune: "Hahahaha... It thought I was... That I was going to... HAHAHAHA! Oh, it's too precious."

Sashimi: @Streetwind: Still tweaking stuff. Taking longer than I expected as it's a long story.

Sashimi: @Streetwind: A little snipit:

Younger Guy: (Chuckling)“You…had me going there for a minute!”

Younger Rajirra: (Giggling) “Does not Slarty trust Rajirra?”

Younger Guy: “Of course I do, it’s just…well…you caught me off guard!”

Younger Rajirra: “This one would never harm Slarty, she will protect him. Besides, I would only eat you if situation was dire.” She starts laughing again.

Younger Guy: (Rolls eyes) “Oh har har, very funny!”

Younger Rajirra: (Smirking) “You said Rajirra could have whatever she desires!”

Rick2tails: she is adorable there

Sashimi: @Rick2tails: She does have a playful side!

Toryu-Mau: @Sashimi: ... One must always keep in mind Khajiit sees Meat where Mers see People. D^:(<
Better crack a joke and be funny so they'll eat you last. >):^P

Sashimi: @Toryu-Mau: He was doing that in the first panel, www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/4640

Nyflex: I found it from the internet! So cute :3

DarthVader: It is Cute :3

Raydio: AWWWWWWWWWWWW

forestOverlord: Please... with C... Please sell me something... Please... with C...

Streetwind: Tagged this because I was bored and Nyflex was lazy. Just barely managed to resist tagging this as "traditional clothing". =P

Nyflex: @Streetwind: Thank you my diligent friend! Since my English isn't good I couldn't tag it...

Toryu-Mau: ... Khajiit can haz all burgers with this gold bar. >):'^]

Raydio: Tried to draw this guy http://www.prequeladventure.com/this/shhsecrets/quill123-78948944.gif, since no one has seem to have drawn him yet.

Also i'm bad at sketching

Sashimi: Now wait a minute, you can't do a cool sketch and then say you're bad at sketching!

Raydio: @Sashimi: Maybe “bad” is the wrong word: “brand new” would better describe it :|

Kazerad: His name is Jim! I tagged it for you! You captured his expression well.

Raydio: @Kazerad: SO IT WAS JIM!?

And thanks <3

Toryu-Mau: ... This guy had a name? >):^?

madmanransom: wait wait wait
you mean to tell me that of all the years this has been a thing, it hasn't been uploaded here yet?
damn.

MrCoopy: effin nerd, get outta here, this is STRICTLY a cool-kid only zone B]

Toryu-Mau: ... And that's how the Dwemers erased themselves from existence.

MikeyTheFox: I replaced the gif with the fixed one.

Also just a FYI to everyone, you can not link an image from your PC to a post with the [img] tags.

Dat's not how computers/internet works :P

Sashimi: @Raydio: OMG! That's too funny!

Asperger_kitten_1337: *barely audible high pitched screeching*
mew
*BOOM*

Asperger_kitten_1337: no no no, wait i got a better one
*ahem*
you meet a khajiit hobo sitting naked in an alley's corner, she begs you for coin. What do you do?
A. give her a coin
B. quickly walk away
C. give her a bottle of skooma so she can earn a wealth by becoming a dealer
D. that disgusting degenarate is going around in public without anysort of clothing, call the guards

Raydio: @Asperger_kitten_1337: Where’s option E: Inquire if she has wares for your coin ?
This is an AP question, Asperger.

Nyflex: It's way better!

Asperger_kitten_1337: @Raydio: one does not simply ask a naked khajiit for wares

Sashimi: This is what's going to happen when Sigrid comes to the cage, suddenly there will be an explosion from inside!

Raydio: @Sashimi: Katia: Harness spontaneous kitty combustion

Toryu-Mau: @Raydio: ... The truth is, this is what happens when one achieves the state of "Chim". D^:(<

Azure: Ever since Prequel finally updated I've had a growing desire learn to draw again.

Really love the art style, and Katia is just too cute of a character to pass up.

Sashimi: I like dis!

fastolaf: >retrieve arms from sigrid

Azure: *Her arms are totally just hidden under the cloak*
*Totally wasn't being lazy*
<.<
>.>

Raydio: @Azure: @fastolaf: hahahah

forestOverlord: >Quickly retrieve arms from crate.

Toryu-Mau: @fastolaf: ... This is beautiful... >):'^]
Nostalgia is killing my spleen. >)X^]

Toxic: Woops it's sideways. I'm better at drawing Quill-Weave than drawing Katia but I still feel like something is off. Feedback is appreciated.

DarthVader: Very nice work!

Raydio: Shes quite absent of any form whatsoever.

DarthVader: You’re missing the second belt thing.

Odes: i think maybe the size of her eyes?

Toxic: @Odes: Too big, too small, or just the wrong shape?

Toryu-Mau: @Toxic: ... It looks like Quill gained weight?
She could get a couple dozen pounds slimmer.

LazPuf: The head was always the most difficult part for me to draw, at least for Quill-Weave.

Raydio: There’s a ghost making all these images sideways right now

Toxic: @Raydio: I knew it

Toryu-Mau: @Raydio: ... It looks like the Ghost of HTMLs Past has passed... For now.

Toxic: 4 characters I drew yesterday, thought I might as well upload them.

Toxic: Ignore Quill-Weave's elongated arm, just pretend it's dislocated or something.

Enheldor: @Toxic: Look at her face. What a trooper, showing no pain with that dislocated arm. Quill is hardcore.

Toxic: @Enheldor: Truely someone to look up to.

Toryu-Mau: @Toxic: Nay, I say. She is merely performing the Zoom Punch, the Hamon will kill the pain. >):^P
