This was a sketch by
GamGyuls, I thought it was awfully pretty and I colored it today. Don’t think he’ll mind.
Colored:
I probably again put too much emphasis on her breasts. I always do that. But at least I kept it subtle. (For me!) I really think she’d be a Righteous Queen Cat. I’d kneel before her! Tail could be out of sight or maybe she just keeps it inside the dress.
Just an old thing I felt like finally getting around to coloring. By Kazerad.
This Valentine’s Day, make her day REALLY special with a Weathervane from the Home Depot. More Saving, More Doing. That’s the power of the Home Depot.
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!)
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;
data.tumblr.com/978a937056298758e4cb31ec3dcb31a1/tumblr_inline_ozo4mvza7G1sn6wro_raw.png
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!
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.
This probably isn’t the final version. Someone else may be adding a vocal-bass track. It’s awe-full. Be sure to listen all the way to the bridge – duo meomers!
I started writing a new story today. I thought I’d try and tackle Katia backstory including the cult she was in and the Razor Incident. Should fun right? I was even going to make it NSFW, though not graphic.
I even did some Hammerfell research. But the more I wrote, the more I didn’t like it. It simply wasn’t entertaining. It just made me feel worse for Katia than ever. Of course there is no ‘canon’ for that period of her life, but as I wrote it I felt like it probably would be very close to canon – but I couldn’t continue and ended up deleting what I wrote.
Some things just really don’t need to be explored. It reminded me of the story Pet Semetary. I used to be a big Steven King fan and really liked the book. Then they made a movie of it. I came out of the movie thinking, “That was a very true-to-the-story movie. And I wish I’d never seen it.”
That’s kind of how the story was going. I’m afraid it probably was pretty accurate to whatever Kaz has in mind for her backstory, vague as that might be. But it’s not something fun to explore. I think I’ll do another Evil Quill Weave instead or something.
Okay, first I really should give credit where it’s due. The concept behind this was IkkyKrrk’s idea. I just ran with it.
On the Prequel Fanart site, if you put a QUESTIONABLE tag on an image, it will superimpose a pineapple and the word “Questionable” over the top. Kaz doesn’t accept anything REALLY porny, but a few risque images do pop up there regularly.
So there was a discussion (I think on Kaz’s inactive Picarto chat actually!) where we were talking about how the Questionable tag probably gets you significantly higher views than without it. A long time ago I put it on a non-questionable image for just that reason an got a little hand slap for it. Deserved.
So somewhere along the line we talked about how that could be hacked a bit. The idea we came up with was putting the overlay on the original graphic directly – so it would be part of the image without the Questionable tag at all. An interesting idea, but with little point. You click the supposedly ‘questionable’ icon and the image has the pineapple on it anyway. Cute for a second, then eh…
But then the idea came up of doing a .gif with the Questionable as the first frame. From there, the rest became obvious. Most places you put an animated .gif file, the first frame is all that shows up unless you hover or click it. I took it upon myself to see this idea brought to fruition.
First step – nab a screenshot of the Booru and splice out a single Questionable image. Then, painstakingly delete everything behind the pineapple and words so that it’s essentially a transparent image with just the words and pineapple:
Next, put a naughty katia pic behind it. That took about 2 seconds to find. No, I won’t post or link to it, though it is kinda cute in a lewdy way. I probably should credit the artist – but I’m at work right now and it’s not a good place to look for that again. I’ll amend this post once I find the artist’s name.
Now, for the fun part. I needed an animated gif to put “behind” it. I use Paint.net for a lot of basic stuff, but for what I planned to do I really needed to use photoshop as I wasn’t just going to paste a rickroll .gif behind this. No, I had more in mind. I found this:
I had to resize and crop it, but Photoshop handled that fine. It needed to be the same dimensions as the little Questionable frame to work properly. But if I posted it like that, it would get a snigger or two and then be taken down. No, I needed a Katia head. This has 27 frames, so I had to paste a Katia head on top of Rick 27 times. I did that, but then I realized that the microphone needs to be in front of her head – so I cut and pasted the microphone 27 times. And if you notice, that microphone MOVES in the video.
Okay, I had that. Cheezy but works. And yet I still felt it was missing something. It needed words:
“Meowmer Meowma Meow Mew Meoup”
“Meowmer Meowma Meow Mew Meown”
“Meowmer Meowma Meow Me-ound Meown Me Oun Mewwww”
I had to crop it a bit more which cut the words off, but they’re practically unreadable anyway. So, I ended up with this. Yes, the “fake” frame has to come once per loop – but without it the whole point would be lost.
