FistHombre: I like how there's a framed picture of a shortsword/knife, makes me think of The Room(unless that's suppoused to be an actual physical weapon)

Tahrey: "In case of emergency, break glass". Beats having it stuck in the wall.

Kewot_Rokar: @FistHombre: Oh, hey Mark.

Brenuceslu: @FistHombre: Hmm, I didn't really think about it. Maybe it's a picture of an actual weapon that's stored away somewhere nearby.

Tahrey: Maybe she just REALLY likes swords?

Adroma: This is some trash I made today while bored on MS Paint. It is Katiasprite, tier one prototype. Yes, I know that sprites do not have this much color, but I think it looks better this way.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Adroma: Sprites can vary depending on how many bits the system has! Mine are most likely 32 bit. your sprite has even less colors!

AMKitsune: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: I have a sneaky suspicion that this is a sprite in the homestuck sense and not so much the computer graphics one.

Tahrey: I count 8 colours (or possibly 7 + transparent depending on whether the eyes and nose are meant to be see-thru), so, maybe 3-bit. Or 4-bit in a wasteful system where one bit is reserved for transparency.

....oh, wait. The bands on the sleeves. 9 colours.

So let's say it's 4-bit, 15 colours plus transparent, of which this uses 10.

jacobc62: I don't always upload artwork... But when I do, it's usually related to NASCAR in some fashion.....

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: This is really cute :3

jacobc62: Thanks man! :D

Sacredsword37: For those interested the leg says "Katia" and the stomach says "fire"
Absolutely amazing picture!

CaptainLackwit: That's one very conspicuous line on the crotch area.

Geravind: "Khajiit in the shell", yay!
"Налюбуйтесь... aeria gloris."

Tahrey: CL: Glad it wasn't just me who went "...oh" when reaching that part of the pic ;)

Epicness btw, as ever from Beep Boop I'm A Robot Ske-le-ton.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: Oh shit I didn't notice, it's a Raiden Crossover!

Tahrey: Neat :) ... looks a bit like MS Paint brushes, used to good effect

Brenuceslu: @Tahrey:

Thanks. Trying to figure out how digital painting works still. Might go through some tutorials.

Daniel: Now I'm finished. This gelatinous thing is a pain to work with.
My apologize to Armored-Struggle-Wagon. I appreciate the recommendation, but that paint would mess with the texture I had planed.
My camera is trash but here some more photos: http://imgur.com/a/ZrtkU

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Daniel: It looks lovely regardless, very nice work.

Tahrey: Ruffling the wax to look like fur? Now that's a cool idea! :3

BTW, if the camera isn't too good indoors, get as much light (other than its own flash) as you can on the subject, maybe put it on a minipod or just a flat surface of suitable height and orientation and use night-shot/fireworks/etc mode, and stand it a little further away so it can focus better. A slightly smaller image but with crisper focus can still look a lot better after being cropped down.

Oh, and if you can take the pic in the middle of the day near a south facing window, with the artificial light acting only as fill-in, that can make a dramatic difference. Funnily enough you really need as much of the blue end of the spectrum as possible... indoor lights tend to be short on it, but at the same time most digital cameras are least sensitive to those colours also, which is what causes a majority of the graininess after it performs the internal white-balancing steps (which, for one thing, will then end up massively boosting the blue channel and then post-smoothing it, leading to that characteristic grainy-yet-blotchy appearance, as there might only be 2 or 3 bits worth of intensity there instead of a good 8 or more). If you can get a blue-tinted incandescent craftlight, or some halogen bulbs, instead of CFLs or cheap LEDs, they work the best as they're closest to sunlight and so give good colour rendition. "SAD lamp" fluorescents or LEDs aren't as good because they're made specifically to flood the eye with blueness at the expense of all other considerations - they'll get rid of the grain, but as they don't have a proper continuous spectrum, some colours will end up looking very strange.

Brenuceslu: Looks good!

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: This is cool :o!

Daniel: Will try that latter. Thanks.

Tahrey: Well, turns out you can buy packs of single colours separately, but [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crayola-Bulk-Crayons-Large-White/dp/B0044SBIBO/ref=sr_1_138?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1454490199&sr=1-138"]they are[/url] really [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crayola-Formerly-Binney-BIN520836034-Crayons/dp/B0044SEJMO/ref=sr_1_163?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1454490228&sr=1-163"]stupidly expensive[/url], especially considering that other specialist colour-tone packs are far more [url=="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crayola-02-0844-8-Multicultural-Crayons/dp/B000NPBLS2/ref=sr_1_77?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1454490132&sr=1-77"]reasonably priced[/url] even if you wouldn't call them cheap.

Tahrey: shit. ok. let me try that again. mods, delete the original please?

Tahrey: Interesting. I thought it was a little larger for some reason but that's still a good size. If you made a full body to go with it'd stand pretty tall.

Anyway, turns out you can buy packs of single colours separately, but they are really stupidly expensive, especially considering that other specialist colour-tone packs are far more reasonably priced even if you wouldn't call them cheap.

Daniel: @Tahrey: The large classpack and the skin tone pack looks very interresting for wax sculptures. Thanks a lot.
Say, are you planing to do something interresting with all those crayons?

Tahrey: Who me? I haven't bought any... I might have two or three lurking in the stationary drawer at home, but otherwise I don't have any crayons to use. So, um... "no". Sorry :D

But it is a pretty neat idea, you can in fact get crayola modelling kits now, I saw whilst looking those up. I'd like to have a try at using them as paint, even if it just turned out abstract. The difficult thing would be keeping a palette of them liquid without serious danger to life and limb. Might need to use a bain marie or something, with suitable cladding to ensure all the steam escaped from the far side...

Tahrey: Also I just remembered what this was strongly reminding me of - the claymation figures in one of Michael Jackson's 80s videos (featured as an integral part of "Moonwalker"). Have you a background in this sort of thing or did you just wing it?

Daniel: @Tahrey: What you are describing is called encaustic. It's a vary old painting technique.
The wax is chose for it's melting point, you will need to keep it hot without burn. The bain marie is a good idea. It's better use flexible metal spatulas, but if you don't care for the tool condition brushes and plastic spatulas work well. After the painting is done you espose the back of the surfice to a heat source to fix the paint.
If that doen't interresting you there are another process involving conbine melted wax to the oil paint. If it's done right the result should be a thicker paint that don't need to be heated.

I worked with wax before, but not like this. I'm mostly trying diferent things to see what work.

Tahrey: *google*

cooooool

POMA: just me practicing anatomy. Feel free to delete if it's too stupid for booru

Geravind: Yay! Now that cyborg model can be produced in numbers.

Красяво! Все ещё немного удивляет длинный хвост (но в этом на вкус и цвет каждый -- сам себе автор). Со связкой голова/шея/плечи тут вообще сложно: у среднего изображения плечи ниже -> шея длиннее, на самом деле по правому изображению видно, что и в фас часть шеи тоже должна быть прикрыта подбородком, а ты не первый раз пытаешься её нарисовать видимой во всю длину.
Голова чуть преувеличена, поэтому пару моментов не пляшет, но для рисованных кхаджитов это норма (да что там, я сам также нарисовал). Ширину шеи я обычно сверяю по вертикальным проекциям от зрачков, но "большая голова" тут опять вылазит краеугольным камнем в "реалистичности" пропорций...

Она такая худющая (стройная), прям как я в реале. =-_-=
Молодец, РОМА!

POMA: @Barnwatch_cutie Can I request a link to deleted Spankzerad image? =)

Radian: @POMA For scientific research, right?

reiler12: fandom = son of Satan

sandwich_lord_: I love how this made its own section "normal mild mannered butt

Bluedragon: That is just too funny! (Of course, if you replace the hand with a weathervane you get a much greater distance). But I yield to Kaz in all such matters.

princessBonny: All in the name of science, of course.
Beautiful.

projectshackles: Is uh...this some reference to an image I haven't seen? If so...CAN I see it?

Tahrey: It was probably on 4chan's /co/ at somepoint 8-12 months ago, so you'll have to go to LoveIsOver and spend aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages scrolling through various threads.

Radian: @Tahrey: Nope, it was here and I was initiator of this little madness.

@projectshackles: I think no. Kaz (or other mod) deleted 2 "spanking" fanart and probably won't let post it again. Also I don't want to post it too, because of very low quality.

Tahrey: Ah, OK.

So, were you the one who just submitted HTML/CSS For Retarded Cats?
