somnivagrious: MY friend Dweenyo asked me to draw Gharug so I did

AMKitsune: I spent the first minute and a half to two minutes tearing up and trying to maintain a steady breath while trying to come to terms with the fact that you've drawn an image that by pretty much all modern social standards, shouldn't exist, but in such a magnificently detailed and well composed way that no one in their right mind could possibly be truly offended by it! (well, maybe some could...)
You've well and truly succeeded in confusing the morality part of my brain, and for doing it so utterly brilliantly, you have my full congratulations.
I'll admit though. The more I look at his expression, the more a feel a growing sense of reasonable apprehension.

Nefel: My only complaint is that Gharug needs a bigger clover if you wanna cover him up properly.

MetalC0Mmander: @AMKitsune: What the fuck are you talking about. We have so many pictures with someone posing naked. Doesn't matter how good a picture is, a questionable image remains a questionable image.

AMKitsune: @MetalC0Mmander: Oh, I completely understand that. My point was simply that regardless of being questionable, the fact the a picture with what is essentialy a silly premise (buff, practially naked Orc man giving you 'a look') has such a realistically rendered style to it. Especially when compaired with other similar pictures. I genuinly teared up and laughed when I first saw this for pretty much that reason. There's no questioning its 'questionable' status. Looking back, where I said that no-one could be offended by it, isn't the best choice of words. What I was trying to get across was that I felt that it had such a degree of humor about it that no-one could view it purley as a 'to be taken 100% seriously' nude image. I was basically praising the artist for magaging to seemlessly combine such a serious style with such a silly subject.

MetalC0Mmander: @AMKitsune: Oh ok yeah that make sense. Although I would say it's more of a great artstyle rather than a relastic one. For one his eyes are still too big.

Tahrey: travelling minstrels sideshow & chill?

BadReligion: What have been seen cannot be un-seen. ._.

I hope my mind won't send me again these pictures when Gharug and Kati...
Oh NO! It's happening again!

somnivagrious: Thanks for the comments fellas. Hope you all get some good luck today ;^)

Sorry for not originally putting the filter on this when I uploaded it, I wasn't too sure how to do it heh.... So thanks to whoever added that.

Tahrey: BR: He was quite literally introduced merely as an excuse for a double-value terrible pun, and the first we see of him, they're naked in bed together. That ship has sailed.

(His surname is "Upp". Katia spent a night of inadvisable lust with him. She "fucked up".

His middle name is "Gro". Or "grow". He often acts in a somewhat childish, fratboyesque manner even whilst pretending to be a serious adult businessman. Gharug needs to grow up.

I'm not even entirely convinced his first name isn't a triple pun of some kind that I'm not smart / well informed enough to figure out.)

Ladas2: I know the hand is kinda strange but i still had the urge to upload this pic. :D
Nothing really special i guess, mostly a shading test and another crappy fanart of mine, but to see that i am getting (a little) better at drawing fills me with determination^^

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @Ladas2: Better than my Hand anatomy xD

Geravind: It's not a hand, it's a transformable fire-cannon like that Temple Guardian's one in Sacred 2 game.
That expression :3 reminds a chameleon, readied to tongue-shot his target.

Ladas2: @Geravind: That would explain the fire :D

Ladas2: @Armored-Struggle-Wagon: I wish it would be easier to draw hands q_q, because it would be very hand-y :D

Tahrey: I just thought it was a slightly malfunctioning limb enhancer with plasma cannon capabilities.

Which currently is in a configuration superficially resembling a bunch of hideous cat-like fingers.

Ladas2: @Tahrey: That definitely it xD. You know, she is kind of a cyborg in this picture.

CaptainLackwit: I don't think I can put into words how great this is.

yugijak: When will this crossover happen?

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: So, Katia is standing on her tippy-toes! she adds another 3 inches to her height! her ears are down, so... ~5'9", with her base of 5'6", It appears that Toriel is 5'11".

Itriedmanitried: This fills me with all of the determination...all of it.

Man_Of_Mer: So if this became a thing, wouldn't Katia be a monster?

Skoon: I approve in many ways. Some of them are unacceptable in public.

MetalC0Mmander: @Man_Of_Mer: Probably not one of those that tries to kill you at the very leasté

Kewot_Rokar: Seeing Katia succeed... Fills you with DETERMINATION.

angrybacteria: @MetalC0Mmander: She'd try but all of her attacks would be really easy to dodge. In a peaceful run you would have to convince her of her own self worth (maybe something interesting like requiring that the player intentionally tank a few shots).

Tahrey: Katia hasn't actually attacked anyone unprovoked though, has she?

something something Brisk™ Iced Tea

Gren: Random High Elf > You fucked up.

That's archmage Traven's room, am I right?
I just noticed the rings on their hands. They got married lol
Also, why is Katia on yellow team? :O
PD: BTW, I think you mistook Welkind-kitty with Mr.Scruffles. The last one is an undead cat, while the first one is the one who's looking for Katia.

Radian: @Gren: Yes, you right.
Who knows why Katia wear yellow team armor? It was good party tonight.
I thought Welkind-kitty and Mr.Scruffles is the same cat.

Gren: @Radian: Nope, they are not. Welkynd cat even has its own tag here in the booru.
Mr. Scruffles technically is still locked inside Dmitri's chest. Welkynd kitty is the one that was playing with the welkynd stone back then when Dmitri was still alive.

Geravind: Только по чертам лица... эмм... самки на подушке и аккуратной няшности Катеньки почти угадал твоё авторство ...хитрюга! =>_>=

Radian: @Geravind: Мне считать это комплиментом? Потому что я смотрю на рисунок и рука сама фейспалм делает. Тут даже стены кривые :D

Also, read Quill-Weawe page on UESP wiki if you have no idea who this woman in the bed.

TemporaryFace: Is that supposed to be Volendrung, by any chance?

TemporaryFace: And is that the Sanguine Rose in her hand?

Gren: @TemporaryFace: I think that's a regular daedric warhammer.

Radian: @TemporaryFace: I used daedric warhammer as reference. And yes, that's Sanguine Rose.

Strawberry-Jamasaur: Why do I feel like I've been there before? (COUGHANIGHTTOREMEMBERCOUGH)

AMKitsune: "This one does not care for the sky ice."

CaptainLackwit: Holy shit. This is amazing.

TemporaryFace: "Snow Was Not Expected"

VashTheStampede: "Every second I am out here is agony."
Nailed it with that paraphrasing.

BadReligion: Honest to the pain, first she do then she ask, dead serious, selfish, may she is coward and cruel, but I can't hate her, I tried but I can't, and this masterpiece ...oh gawd, freakin beautiful.

Mediocre_Scrublord: I like the way her lizardsnout is scrounched up.

Mr_Darkwraith: She knows what shes saying.

CaptainLackwit: Haha, oh that's mean.

tronn: I dig the way Quill-Weave is drawn here, she looks like the old lady she is!

MetalC0Mmander: Should start learning french if you want to play this game Katia. Cause around here we say "dames", ladies in english.

Diocletithik_Nagnaresh: nobles nobles nobles

Unidentified_BA: I thought this looked familiar.

TemporaryFace: Good call to Armored-Struggle-Wagon.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @TemporaryFace: Thanks!

Nefel: Pretty good, Rad. Nice to see a fluffy Katia

Geravind: Радик, вылазь, я тебя узнал!
Если этот манекен у тебя дома, значит... тебе shipping уже дошёл.
Глаза у неё слишком "приклееные" -- или много блеска, или мало размытости, пушистости ресничек. А вообще молодец-молодец...

Radian: @Nefel: Thanks.
@Geravind: Никуда я не вылезу, мне тут хорошо :Р
Про глаза учту, спасибо. Вообще они на отдельном слое так что ты даже более прав чем думаешь.
Про манекен не уверен что правильно понял. Если что, я ничего не заказывал. Яж бедняк и рисую за еду (на самом деле мне за рисунки даже еду пока не давали).

Tahrey: Now that's how they should have been modeled on the IGG page :)

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: *Khajiit not included.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: @AMKitsune: *Aftermarket Khajiit optional.
*Pants not included.
*Not to 3 Sad Onions.
*Make sure to Keep Khajiit fed, watered, and washed.
*Machine Washable.

BadReligion: WTB!

Wanna touch this fluffy fur. :v

Radian: @BadReligion: I have big fluffy cat :P

Tahrey: *Nought to 3 Sad Onions you mean :D

Also not forgetting
*Made exclusively for Poundland by Funtastic!™

Or maybe in Katia's case it's a special order from Dr Wondertainment, possibly even "Are We Cool Yet?"

Kazerad: I feel like this might be too obvious to go on this page!

Adroma: @Kazerad: Gotta love that ole mistresse's son, Mankar. Mehrunes would be proud.

Tahrey: >Hopeless_Drunk: Buy mead

Bartender: we have basic mead for one septim, or above average mead for three.

>Hopeless_drunk: still have incongruous standards and a two bottle thirst.

You decide to get one of each and try mixing them. Surely this can only go well.

>assess finances

You have one septim, something that looks like it might once have been a coin before a century of dirt and corrosion did a number on it, and a pocket full of bric-a-brac.

>try bartering

It's surprisingly effective! The bartender accepts your offer of one septim for the basic mead, plus an unknown coin, some disembodied eyes, a single cufflink and a decorative button for the above average mead. Whether he's just taking pity on you, knows something you don't about the junk that collected in your filthy pockets - or maybe the Mead - or is simply a magpie-like hoarder, you will never know and don't care to, as you've already uncorked both bottles and tipped them into an oversized stein you keep secreted in a hidden corner of your lengthy beard.

After that, things get a bit hazy.

Tahrey: Dammit, why is the picture sideways? It was the right way up when i selected it off the file list...

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: EXIF jpg meta data. Some cameras try to add 'rotation' data to the jpg that's created. Some site and programs use this data better than others...

Tahrey: Grah! If it's able to do that, why doesn't it just save it the right way up in the first place? JPGs can be rotated 90 degrees rapidly and losslessly after all.

Lunacy. But thanks for fixing it, whoever that was.

AMKitsune: @Tahrey: You're most welcome. And it's pretty ridiculous, not all programs respect/acknowledge this 'rotation meta-data' and the ones that do don't necessarily interpret it in the same way. There's absolutely no standardisation to the process.

While it's a pain to do, you'd honestly be better off removing the meta-data from your images before uploading them to the internet. Not only might they contain slightly annoying things like rotation data, but they'll also have things like the date the picture was taken, the camera make and settings and possibly even location data if the option's enabled on your camera (and possibly other things that I don't know about).

There are a number of ways to strip this EXIF meta-data from jpg's but one of the easiest ways would be to use one of the many online meta-data removing tools. I actually created a 'Daedric fun tip' a while ago mentioning the whole 'image rotation problem' and included a link to a website that lets you view/remove the unwanted meta-data. I can't imagine that many people would have noticed it though. Daedric isn't exactly the easiest thing to read XD.

http://www.verexif.com/en/

Tahrey: Date/time the picture was taken: literally an hour or two before upload.

Camera make/model/settings: Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, mostly auto but usually with flash forced on or off as appropriate and occasionally forced focus or exposure.

Location: I always turn that shit off as part of the initial device setup, so no fear there. The GPS only ever gets turned on when absolutely necessary anyway, because cellphone GPS in general and Samsung's in particular is utterly hopeless and mainly just drains the battery for no real benefit.

As for stripping it etc before upload, maybe a bit tricky on a smartphone that I was already having upload issues with, but I might try filtering through that site in future if needed.

But really I don't understand why it even bothers including that info when it would be just as easy to change the orientation of the picture before encoding it... I mean, if it knows enough to set a rotation tag, it knows enough to save it the right way up, right?

(I'd prefer that it did neither, in fact, rather than attempting to save some kind of corrective data and making things worse. At least then I'd only have myself to blame for not correcting the rotation before upload)

Tahrey: Also if I felt confident enough that it would have worked in a timely fashion I'd have reduced the resolution too ;)

Tahrey: >TFW you find a small altoids-type box whilst doing a back bedroom clearout with a bunch of strange coins and silvery buttons in it that would have been just perfect to act as septims a few days after uploading this.

grrrrg
