Have you considered doing art of "Flick" that was in Ciderwards profile photo before?
I havenât done anything really âartyâ in quite a while now, so no, I canât say I have.

Remember when Prequel was selling mercandise merchandise? Now thereâs more!
You can check out the Hoodie of Gray Tomorrow over here :0
Katiaâs having none of that, thank you very much!
On the upside though, sheâs got at least two hoodies now.
What if I was the dog all along?
(Participating in the meme while still being too cowardly to use my FACE)
Iâd believe it.
Ok, so hereâs how it went.
I was going about my business when Kazerad sent me a message asking whether I was doing anything. He wanted a little help âdicking around with slidersâ (as he put it) on a website for making planets.
http://planetmaker.wthr.us/
I had a little look at it and got a rough idea of how it worked, but the UI and options available were still a little too alien to me to be able to do anything good with. You know the feeling? Limited by a lack of understanding in a new tool.
So I played around with it for a minute or so before remembering that aftereffect has an effect for turning flat shapes into spheres.
â Shit, I just remembered. After effects has a 'textured sphere' Â effect. Let me just look into that... â
So I put some layers together in AE, one for oceans, one for landmasses and another for atmospheric stuff, got Kaz in a screenshare call and showed him what I had (an early version oh Apocrypha). Turns out, he liked it.
We spent the next while going through and making the various âplanetoidsâ that you see above.
At the time, I had absolutely no idea what these were going to be used for (or that heâd end up vandalizing them with âgalactic graffitiâ)
Also, yes, we know that the Daedric realms arenât actually planets. These are just ârepresentationsâ of them. I donât actually know how to render an entire plane of existence.
The reason some have transparent backgrounds and others donât is because Iâm inconsistent with my use of layer blending modes. Simple as that.
has Chloe any annoying mannerism ?
She farts a lot because she wonât stop eating fucking hummus
To begin with, I read that as â she wonât stop eating fucking humansâ
The âpoolsâ help page on the prequel fanartbooru was looking a bit âwall-of-texteyâ so I added a picture of Katia in a children's paddling pool.
Select-tool adjustments by Kazerad to better match the style of the comic, but besides that though, I somehow managed to make this myself!
While enjoying Christmas lunch with the family this year, I pulled a cracker. Out of it, fell a yoyo. I knew what had to be done.
Just a quick holiday doodle. Sorry I havenât been active lately. This is more chibi and a lot quicker than how I normally draw her. Iâm trying to speed up how fast I can draw. I have a few commissions left that have already been paid for, after I finish them I will try to work on more doodles.
Aww, festive cuteness!
This chibi style works quite nicely. I look forward to seeing what you doodle next.
CUTE? DID YOU JUST CALL ME CUTE?
How... Fucking... DARE THEY!?
Cute doesnât go nearly far enough. Adorable, at the very least.
Just thought Iâd share a little something that I worked on for the prequel infiltrate update. Itâs been a little while since the update came out and Makkonâs been showing of some of his contributions, so I think Iâll do the same.
Along with the fire and smoke particles on the burning torches, the 3 different rain tiles, the clouds/mist texture, the floating dust motes (wherever itâs dusty and thereâs dust dancing in beams of light) and the âpoofâ of dust when Katia lands in the cavern, Kazerad asked me if I could turn 3 static, painted frames into a smooth animation.
http://fav.me/dbda0rr
To begin with, I honestly thought he was joking as I thought that it was a ridiculous thing to ask. A smooth(ish) animated video out of 3 frames? How the hell was I going to do that? Well, it turns out that adobe after effects (the program that I use for this kind of thing) has this nifty feature where you can tell it to try to draw in new additional frames between the existing frames of any video you give it (essentially increasing the total number of frames, resulting in a smoother/longer animation). To begin with, I tried seeing how it fared adding in frames to video made of just the 3 original frames. It didnât look good. It didnât look good at all.
The way it tries to generate these new frames is by analyzing the pixel data of the two frames either side of what itâs trying to fill in and then drawing a sort of âmiddle groundâ between the two images. Having only frames of âeyeâs completely open, eyeâs closed and glowing, open eyes, the program made a bit of a garbled mess of the in-between frames, so I had to try something else.
Going back to photoshop (where I cut the original image up into the original 3 frame animation), I duplicated some of the layers, merged them together and used the liguify tool to roughly âsmudgeâ together some believable frames of blink animation between her eyes being fully open and fully closed.
I canât remember exactly how many new frames I created this way, but I suspect it was 4 in total. 2 additional âeyes closingâ frames and 2 for opening.
Assuming those numbers are somewhat accurate, that left me with 7 frames of animation for after effects to try to extrapolate a smooth animation from as opposed to only 3. Thankfully, while not an absolutely perfect result, it worked well enough.
From there, I just had to tinker with the timing of the frames to make the motion feel like it had some weight to it, add in a little bit of additional movement (that slight head dip and raise) and create a subtle blue âflashâ effect to help mask the transition of the ânormal colouredâ scene to the ânight vision colouredâ scene (also to try to give a bit of additional âpunchâ to the eyes opening).
There were actually numerous versions of this animation with some being flashier than others with more overt visual effects. At the end of the day though, Kazerad wanted something not too over the top, so we settled with the version you see before you.
Just bare in mind that this video version doesnât show the pauses before the animation and between the blink and disappearing as that was added by Kazerad by simply displaying specific frames in game for longer than the others to save file space.
So there you go. thatâs how a small part of the introduction to the flash that took nearly two years to complete was made.
Oh, and one final, important thing. All the things Kaz asked me to help with were generally finished and delivered within a day or so of him asking, so Iâm in no way responsible for the hiatus, ok? Glad we clarified that.
A commission of young Katia and Hat Kid having an outfit swap. Commissioned by A.M.Kitsune! Thanks a bunch for commission me!
Hey look everyone! Itâs Cat-kid and Hatia!
I was lucky enough to catch the last slot in Ciders last batch of commissions (nabbing it as soon as I saw it existed), so I used that opportunity to get a crossover between the cutest hat wearing platformer protagonist of recent time and the cutest pre-poor life choices cat there is.
I honestly canât applaud Cider enough for the âtoilet roll tube tailâ idea. I was initially thinking of something like a sewn together, stuffed tail, but this is just sooo much better XD.
Katia Roll
Okay, first I really should give credit where itâs due. The concept behind this was IkkyKrrkâs 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 âQuestionableâ over the top. Kaz doesnât accept anything REALLY porny, but a few risque images do pop up there regularly.
So there was a discussion (I think on Kazâs 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 âquestionableâ icon and the image has the pineapple on it anyway. Cute for a second, then ehâŠ
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 itâs 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 wonât post or link to it, though it is kinda cute in a lewdy way. I probably should credit the artist - but Iâm at work right now and itâs not a good place to look for that again. Iâll amend this post once I find the artistâs name.
Now, for the fun part. I needed an animated gif to put âbehindâ 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 wasnât 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.Â
Okay, I had that. Cheezy but works. And yet I still felt it was missing something. It needed words:
âMeowmer Meowma Meow Mew Meoupâ
âMeowmer Meowma Meow Mew Meownâ
âMeowmer Meowma Meow Me-ound Meown Me Oun Mewwwwâ
I had to crop it a bit more which cut the words off, but theyâre practically unreadable anyway. So, I ended up with this. Yes, the âfakeâ frame has to come once per loop - but without it the whole point would be lost.
KATIA ROLL:
Every time I saw that thumbnail, thereâd always be a second of âoh god, whoâs uploaded porn?â before remembering what it actually was XD.
Whelp, Iâm back in my home and it didnât burn down, so that is good news. Â My commissioners have all been very patient and I have an outstanding art trade or two to finish, so Iâll be trying to post art again soon. I also put in my two week notice where I work. Â The job has been stressing me out a lot and I have enough money in the bank to last me about 6 months. Â I have no clue where I am going to end up, but I am going to try to double down on doing commissions faster and doing more as well as trying to launch a comic. Â Iâd rather just do art for a living rather than go back to work, so weâll see what happens between now and the end of the year. I still have two weeks of work left and then I am going to ramp up on commissions, so if you want to commission me just a heads up on that!
Thank god for that. I was really worried that you might not have had a home to go back to. Is everything else alright too? If youâre homeâs still standing, does that imply that itâs contents are still intact as well? I presume that this means the fireâs over in your area now, right?

I practically never tag stuff here either. Iâm just too damn lazy to care about optimal exposure.
I actually eat this
And now I want to eat it to.
Not drawing for a very long makes your own art feel like a stranger to you. (Maybe because artstyle has gone haywire) Iâve been on and off a long, canât do digital, and basically my art progress is kind of stagnant now.
Did these like last month so sorry for not being active and blah, better stuff coming soon~!
Give it time. Itâll all come back with practice (and if your old rate of development is anything to go by, not too much time either)
