Katherine M. Commentary

Well, it’s an experiment.  One thing I found right off is my style doesn’t fit cartoons format well.  Too much exposition to fit in a couple balloons.  Plus, the balloons get in the way of the screenshot.  I may convert to image then text as I’ve done for a lot of this one and just keep the speech balloons completely out of the images.  It kind of breaks the image/speech apart, but I feel like it’s worth the slightly unusual format to keep the images separate.

Probably won’t surprise anyone to notice that I found the facial expression/modification features before I posted this one!  Some of them were quite fun to work with too. Along with some mouth positions, they really widen what I can do with screenshots.

I think I’ll keep Mr. H offscreen too.  After all, we all self-insert as the man behind the camera to some extent anyway don’t we?  That may get a bit tricky to pull off though.  I do imagine him as a Khajiit though, for what it’s worth.

Ok, enough for now.  Comments always welcomed though!

Another Katherine M. coming soon.

I’ve actually NOT been procrastinating on this project.  Instead, I realized that I need a screenshot of every possible pose with a reference so I can find it again to do this right.  So that’s what I’ve been up to.  I’m hoping that I will end up only RARELY ever re-using the same pose – and even then mixing it up with different angles to keep it from looking too obviously repeats.

I’ve also learned quite a bit about different techniques to use when doing Skyrim screenshots – varying focal lengths for example.  Between that and the hundreds of poses I have to choose from (I’m probably 75% done with my reference screenshot project), this should be fun!

I’ve got a couple of storylines already in my head – but I’ll probably make it up as I go anyway. 

It does help that I have such a lot of time between Prequel updates that I can feel confident that I can beat it.  (Of course, I’m not programming minigames either!)

Katherine meets Sabhira. Just Sabhira.  Sabhira is a Khajiit. Katherine is… something else.
