Kazerad’s Skyrim character is named Kira Fang-Fister. She specializes in the knockout punch. Last night he was playing while on a stream and he got to that scene where you release Odahviing and he asks if you want to see the world as a Dragon does.
Suddenly this commission came to me. I desperately flailed about, but no artist in sight. Then, FurNut dropped in! I snagged him into doing it. This one really should be seen in high res though. After I post it, I think I’ll try and link to the full size version.
And Katia is along for the ride (honestly because without her it doesn’t belong o the Fanart Booru! – but also because it’s always funny to make a cat cry.)
Also this time FurNut send me the layered .psd so it was a lot easier to work with to add my colors and shade to it. Here’s the original sketch from FurNut (without the caption)
Some flat colors in place…
Getting there. Some shading in place…
More shading and highlighting…
And finally, the punchline…
Oops! Those were supposed to be holes! Darn it I’ve been coloring Adine so long they looked like wing freckles! Correction here:
If you see a link below this line, that’s the link to the full size version. (well, even it’s not FULL size. This puppys is 6000px wide on my pc!) But close enough.
I’ve been sitting on this one for probably 6 months. Never felt like I could do it the way I wanted to. Still could use cleanup a bit, but I feel like I’ve progressed far enough to post it anyway – and thus I’m probably done with it now.
Kaz drew it a long time ago – I don’t think it was even my commission. But I wanted to do a good latex-y looking bodysuit. I didn’t even use the Multiply layers when I started this! (Trust me, that’s an archaic way to do things!)
Well this was different! This time the artist isn’t Kaz or Cider or even FurNut. No, this is from Raydio who has been drawing for all of… (September, October, Novermber) yeah, 3 months. He asked me to color it and I did. Then I actually had a chance to show it to him and we fixed a few things.
I won’t go through the layers this time. Just the finished product. Katia Managan getting fit. Fitia Managan.
That’s the official product… but, being a perv, I had to take it a little farther of course. I made a sweaty version with some inappropriate bumps in places. Because this is my clean blog, I won’t put it here. But those of you who wish to find it I suspect can do so. bdnsfw is your key. If you can’t figure it out from there, you don’t want it bad enough. (And really it’s not that bad anyway.)
Someone on the Booru commented that her head is NOT the largest part of her body here, so it can’t be canon. It occurred to me that maybe she lost some weight after all that exercise – from her head.
And then it occurred to me that it wasn’t so much as “lost” as “redistributed”.
Then I remembered an animated thing Kaz did showing Quill-Weave lifting weights with parts of the body not normally associated with strength training. Maybe that’s how she gained such substantial mass elsewhere!
Something about that title just suggests a rather specialized Barbie doll. “Kids! Get you’re Pole-Dancing Katia now at Toys-R-Us!” No, this one won’t be on sale there I’m afraid.
However, if Quill-Weave mutilating a pumpkin with a knife while clothes-less was okay, then this just MIGHT be too. Or it might not. But this is gonna be a long post anyway, so if you just wanna get to the good stuff, you can just scroll down to the bottom.
But let me sidetrack a sec. I really like some things about Tumblr, mostly the ease of posting and the way it auto-splits images into 3 different resolutions (or more). And ESPECIALLY that those images are publicly accessible directly. That may not be the case forever, but it is for now anyway. Sure they rename them weird, and they’re constantly changing HOW they store them, but still it works and is easy to upload. What’s the point?
Take this sketch by Ciderward as an example…
Yeah, it’s lewd. I hope you like it because you’re gonna see LOTS more of it on this post. But as to Tumblr, that image up there is found at URL 78.media.tumblr.com/978a937056298758e4cb31ec3dcb31a1/tumblr_inline_ozo4mvza7G1sn6wro_540.png (right now. It can actually change!) Notice the 540.png at the end. Well, you can change that manually to 1280.png and get a higher resolution (if the original is bigger than 540px wide). Which is cool. But you can also find the original (raw) version by doing this;
Change the 78.media at the first of the url to data, and change the _540.png at the end to _raw.png
Doesn’t make a difference with Stripper Katia but it gets you the original, unmolested resolution. You might want it if you REALLY like Stripper Katia. So… now, on to the good stuff…
Cider drawized it on a recent stream. I was asked to color it and to say I did is probably an understatement. I went wild on it. I do feel bad though because I forgot who originally commissioned it! But honest he did ask me to color it!
So first, as usual, I added flat colors. Not much to that this time:
Which is nice. But then I normally move on to shading. Where’s the light source gonna be? Wait… Light source? On a Stripper Cat? Why, there would be MULTIPLE light sources. This was going to be interesting. So, put her on stage! (lighted purple stage that is)
Now suddenly there’s potential here! Lights! Camera! ACTION! Let the shading-beast LOOSE!
Nice! (or not. But I thought ‘Nice!’) Time for highlights and an audience!
I was working on this while also on a FurNut stream and threw it out there for comments. FurNut himself drew one thing that was obviously needed to make it accurate, pointing out that really since Katia is from Oblivion, the coins were more likely than bills. After a few tweaks I ended up with this. By the way, you can blame Sashimi on the coin that’s bouncing off her ass.:)
FINISHED? WHY HELL NO! I’ve got multiple light sources here! I can turn them on and off! I’ve got a damned animated GIF I can make out of this!:
And there you have it. Stripper Katia – Fully Loaded.
Think it will pass the Booru rules? Na. Probably not. And personally I prefer the non-gif one a little more. But a bit of easy ‘animation’ does spice things up!
Is this pushing a non-NSFW blog too far? Guess I’ll find out. It’s NOT safe for work IMHO, but it’s also not porn. I do hope it’s not over-the-top too bad as I’m going to insert it into my story. It’s a nekked lizard with naughty bits conveniently covered. I commissioned Cider to do a scene from Evil Quill Weave Pt. 3. Technically I asked for one where she was running around effectively naked with a Jack-O-Lantern. Sort of the main scene of the story.
This isn’t quite what I had in mind – but it works PERFECTLY with an earlier scene where she’s carving a pumpkin (and it says she removed her Evil Outfit, though it didn’t specifically say she was nekked.)
So, here’s the original sketch from Cider:
And here’s my coloring/background/editing thingy:
What do you think? Too far? I have a blog for NSFW stuff, but I’m really hoping I can slide this under the wire in the Fanart booru. I’m going to give it a shot anyway!
Well now there’s a mix of characters if ever I saw one! A three-way crossover! Enheldor commissioned Cider to do this one too, and I finished coloring it just now. Though Welkynd Kitten IS from Prequel, it’s a pretty non-prequelish thing. So I won’t post this directly to the Booru but I’ll put it in a comment instead.
Here’s the original from Cider:
So, first thing was to add the flat colors…
One of the things I’ve picked up is to do the shade layer as a solid color. I used to paint in grey, but the suggestion is to ERASE to make shadows, not paint them. I dunno if it makes much difference really, but I do it anyway. Also I learned to use a soft brush where shadows are cast from far away and a harder edge when closer. Also, I’m using a softer brush for shade on Rainbow Dash than on Adine, thinking the fur on one and harder scales on the other are more obvious that way.
I thought I’d go for a bit “lower” lighting angle this time. More like a morning scene. However, that term “put it where the sun doesn’t shine” wouldn’t apply to Rainbow Dash on this occasion. I’ll let you figure that one out…
As for highlighting…
At the default tumblr setting for graphics, I know you can’t see much difference there. But at higher res it’s more obvious. I’m almost always adding a shiny “line” when doing scaly things now, so Adine gets em here. Because of the lighting Rainbow Dash’s eyes dont really get much of a sparkle, but Adine gets a bit.
I have a feeling I did the shadow wrong around Adine’s tail, but I’ll leave it be. There’s also some darker shadows in here to give it a bit more depth.
Finally, I had to add some background. It also had to be light in color so as not to cause a bunch of haloing at the edges. I came up with this, which is utter crap but it gives them SOME place to be (even if it looks like a weird desert).
That’s it. Another filed away and colored. Now I have at least 2, maybe three with nekked characters. They’re all conveniently censored but they’re still risque. Coming soon!
Madman read some fanfiction on the Prequel stream tonight and he was SO friggin good that I persuaded him and Kaz to let me pay him for voice work and read my latest fanfic. This is the result. I left it fully intact, with all weirdness in place. I might edit it at some point, but I kinda like leaving it as-is.
This was by Cider commissioned by Enheldor. I asked Enheldor if I could color it, and he said yes so here it is! I’ve got another of these two I’ll probably do too. I think my coloring style works best with cartoony styles like these. I won’t go through the whole thing, just the final version this time.
I have no idea why Rainbow Dash and Adine – but they are cute together I must admit.
Final version. Katia and Surly Bartender at bridge voiced by me. Bass and mid-thingy by LuminosityXVII. Waiting for our royalty checks now. And the troll frame removed from the .gif too.
Well, last night was an interesting stream. Kaz and friends playing TF2 while Cider drew commissions. I got a couple. One of Quill and Katia getting married, the other of a crying Quill-Weave.
I had thought to end my last fanfiction with this, so I color-ated it. Cider’s sketch:
First with flat colors…
A bit of shade:
But as much as I adore it, the words… well, no offense but…
I thought about putting a background in, but I kinda like it like this. So yeah, I’m going to put this in as an image in my most recent Katia/Quill/Rajirra story.
