Robbyn: It seems Katia tried her hand at painting

GrizzlyBear: Congratulations Brian Griffin Rajirra on being the first fanart of 2025

Yeltsa_Kcir: close the booru, peak has been achieved, nothing will top this

Jig_Bigga: Beauty filter ✅

Radiocaster: pretty sure she can smell abstract concepts like time and gravity with a schnoz like that

Kibermozgai: Her muzzle looks more like canine. Is this a way for Katia to politely call her a bitch?

TheGibusGuy: The dentist's bill must be enourmous.

SaintDumos: Yes, I am well aware it is way past Chinese New Years. HOWEVER, time is relative in TES, so for all we know, there could be a celebration in Vivec City in the 31st of First Seed!

bluedraggy: This deserves Masterpiece status simply for Quill's dress IMHO!

damrok4321: I absolutely love it. I really like how happy and cheerful katia looks. Also yeah, quill's dress also; top shelf

TheGibusGuy: Happy New Year! I wonder how many sad New Years Katia's had.

Also yeah, the dress... Katia looks cute too of course!

Robbyn: Katia forgets there are other cat people in Kvatch

Radiocaster: Considering the failure rate, she'd be better off assuming every Khajiit she meets is a different one

Jig_Bigga: sorren’s such a babey awwwhh

TheGibusGuy: He's so eager to make friends! Too bad Katia isn't.

Radiocaster: Belated Christmas lesbians. I started before Christmas but it wasn't going to be done in time, so I took it slow. Katia and Quill's outfits are based off Jonathan Morris and Maria Renard respectively, both are characters from Castlevania. Yes, you don't need to ask.
There's some random stamp doodles in the corner because why not.

Rick2tails: and then Quill woke up XD

Radiocaster: @Rick2tails: Noooo!

Quill is a very deep sleeper, she's not waking up just yet.

Jig_Bigga: God that little kiss is so CUTE

bluedraggy: Missletoad. I see what you did there! ;)

TheGibusGuy: So confident!

M4_G0d: Not sure if was already posted, since there wasn't any tag with this artist. If there was already then someone report to staff to delete this.

FOXY_BONNIE: merry christmas everyone :3

Rick2tails: a cat for Christmas will do ^_^

TheGibusGuy: Awwh, I like her Santa outfit!

Zargothrax: This Katia model is just so adorable

Rick2tails: very cute!

DearFox: It seems that this is not the maximum resolution that is available. Perhaps it can be updated?

TheGibusGuy: @DearFox: This was the version I get sent over in my Twitter dms, I could ask again though.

TheGibusGuy: @DearFox: Extremely high res version available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17vW8UdRdjN0ygxBymKb0yK_58c66OgmE/view?usp=sharing

TheGibusGuy: @TheGibusGuy: Whoops, here it is as a clickable link.

Jig_Bigga: @TheGibusGuy: 8118x19911? YOU WEREN’T KIDDING!

Radiocaster: That's the kind of resolution that makes programs warn you before opening the file lmao

Raywingale: I don't think such a high resolution is necessary for drawing, at least not for characters

Radiocaster: @Raywingale: I can understand it since the piece was done in a very painterly style. It also explains why they didn't bother sending over the full resolution version. To that end, I wonder why they sent the max resolution version and yet still exported it as a jpeg.

Raywingale: @Radiocaster: There are no small details here that would require enlarging the canvas to view them. So it was possible to do this in a much lower resolution without completely losing the quality of the artwork. And it wouldn't even have to be scaled down. As for jpg, if the artist exported this art to png, the file would weigh more than 300 MB.

Robbyn: Katia meeting my DnD character, Sorren the goody two-shoes paladin

Jig_Bigga: Sorren’s such a little cutie!!

Sashimi: I really dig your style of kets!

Robbyn: @Sashimi: Thank you, will make sure to draw more kets

Rick2tails: cute art there!

TheGibusGuy: He's so fuzzy!

Radiocaster: This page originally started as a full video animation before getting reworked into a GIF. It was going to be set to this song from Symphony of the Night.

Frankly, this page sucks. I'm going to retire big animated pages as they take too long to make to be enjoyable, and don't add anything to the story. I've come to hate the GIF format and its limitations; I don't like formatting GIFs for the booru as the site was never built to allow image sequences without the wonky comment section workaround, and as far as I know the site doesn't support the less limiting animated WebP format either.

The fire in the background was supposed to be animated. Even though I know I still have the frames somewhere, I'm too lazy to fix it and I'm frankly really tired of working on this page. As a consolation, I can tell you that we won't be in the dark on Sigrid and Katia's places on the celestial board for much longer...

Radiocaster: Honestly I don't like where this page ended up so much that I'll probably just pretend like it never happened. It's true what they say, know when to kill your darlings.

TheGibusGuy: The gifs are cool, but maybe just gif panel per page would work? That way you don't have to make sure each animation is the same length.

Radiocaster: @TheGibusGuy: Yeah, I've considered just limiting it to a couple frames per whole page, or one animation per page, which would give me some leeway. I don't plan on it anyway because the GIF format simply doesn't look good under how I like to do things. Notice how most previous panels made heavy use of gradients and vignettes to achieve a moody exterior; GIF always reduces image colors to the point that flat gradients look horrendous, effectively meaning I can't use them. It would be less of an issue if I went back to a sequence of images (again not really feasible on Booru without precariously embedding it all in the comments). If I could use a different format like WebP that allows for full color animation it would also be a different story, but I have no reason to believe this website supports it. At the end of the day, I'm more of a comic artist than an animator, and I'd rather focus on story than visual clutter.

AMKitsune: Personally, I love these long, multi-panel gifs simply for the technical feat of having multiple, independent animations all playing simultaneously on the same timeline.
As for webp support, I suppose that depends on whether the web server has the capability to generate thumbnails for them like it can other image formats. Thinking about it, this web server was set up long before webp was even a twinkle in it's creator's eye, so the back-end image manipulation software probably doesn't even recognise webp as a format!

Jig_Bigga: Quill looks absolutely adorable here, and the detail and the shading and everything is just beautiful

but oh my gosh please don’t tell me that silouette is katia

GrizzlyBear: Katia can solve the mystery behind her nightmares, become the best wizard ever, save Tamriel from the Oblivion crisis, achieve CHIM and reshape Nirn to her will, but all I really want to see is these two reuniting

TheGibusGuy: Cool perspective! It's nice to see Quill again, it's been a bit since we've seen her on the booru.

Rick2tails: Quill looking lovely here

TempIntel: Katia's got some interesting stories to tell Quill, if/when she makes it back

Robbyn: This is very pretty, the lighting feels natural and warm.

damrok4321: That's looking very cool
