Sorreltail - For Approval
Here's a picture of Sorreltail. What do you guys think? Sonia 1000 19:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice work,but it kinda looks funny.--Jayfeather113 21:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks rather nice, I think. My only suggestion would be maybe some shading and again maybe some working to make a more fur-like texture... but other than that it looks very good. Hmmm... As for approval, though, I think it's fine. Anyone disagree? Gorse 21:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok I'll work on it a little bit more, and then maybe I'll put it up if Gorse approves Sonia 1000 21:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Just curious, but what program do you use to do these? Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 23:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Here, I uploaded a better version of Sorreltail. It's still horrible...but at least it's an improvement :) !! I'm not sure if I'm done yet though...please tell me your thoughts. Gorse, what do you think? Sonia 1000 02:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I like it. For some reason, my computer's colors are permanently wacko, so I can't see any deatils on the Tawnypelt pic', but I can see this one perfectly. It looks pretty good, but honestly, I liked the old one better. This one looks....blurry, to me. *shrugs*, maybe it just looks furry :p Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 13:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, i was trying to get a furry look...I used MS Paint for this. Should I put it on the page, Gorse?Sonia 1000 00:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I like it. GB 00:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it looks how a Sorreltail should look. Pretty tortoiseshell. I like it. --Bramble 18:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Cloudtail - Declined
Cloudtail isnt very detailed either but hey someone has to do him and until they make a template for Clan leaders and Medicine cats I cant make Leopardstar, Tallstar, or Leafpool...or Littlecloud anyway yeah its Cloudtail.--Tallstar 04:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Needs shading. Just because the cat is solid doesn't excuse a flat color. Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the fur looks good, but that doesn't look pure white. It has a silver tinge. GB 03:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Pure white will almost never be used in making graphics. You can't get highlights when you use it.. and considering nothing in nature is pure, unnatural white... I'm not going to refuse it based on something like that. Declining this one officially, since the user in question hasn't touched it in months. Will archive in a few days if they don't reply again saying they're working on improving it.

Willowpelt - Approved
Hi everyone. What do you think? Willowpelt's pale gray with blue eyes, in case anyone forgot, so i think i got her the right color. --Bramble 14:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The only thing I spot off the top of my head is that the background isn't transparent. But that's not a big deal. I (or someone else) can convert it over to a PNG file before we drop it into the page if Gorse approves. (I frown against GIF for this one. Too much lost data, it'll make the shading go wonky) Kitsufox Fox's Den 19:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. I really oughta try this, who knows, maybe I have a hidden talent ;)-- Eulalia ( Talk! – Contribs ) 21:23, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Kitsu and Eu. Looks fine by me. Rather nicely shaded, with all the details needed and no unecassary extras. It's good. Gorse 22:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I added transparency and will take it to the character page shortly. Excellent work, Bramble! Kitsufox Fox's Den 22:35, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That looks silver, not gray. GB  04:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Light gray and silver are the same color, really... It's completely accurate, and I believe it's already been approved and added to the characters' page because it's very well done. Really must start archiving these once they're approved...  Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Crowfeather - For Approval
I did this one of Crowfeather. I know its not much since Crowfeather doesn't have much detail. --Shim 20:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Every time I hear it I like the phrase 'the character doesn't have much detail' less and less every time I hear it. The character being a solid color does not excuse lack of shading! Please take the time to go back and shade it, just like every person who has submitted a flat-colored image has been told to do.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 21:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry Kitsu and I share that same peeve so I know how you feel. I redid Crowfeather and added shading to him. What do you think of him now?--Shim 21:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * . . . If it's a pet peeve of yours, why on earth did you offer up an image guilty of it? Anyways... The edges of the shading are really, really hard... Maybe soften them up a bit so they look smoother...  Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I soften the edges the best I can. I don't have photoshop so I find ways to do pictures on paint an blibs.com. I'll fix Squirrelflight soon.--Shim 03:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Because of the hard-line between the colors it looks like a black cat with a black stripe on his back... Unfortunately, paint and websites aren't suited to doing high quality graphics... You can, but you pretty much have to shade pixel-by-pixel to create the gradients and proper shading.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:21, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I took the advice at downloading that program you mention. I smooth him out and personally I like this version better than the rest. He's smoother and you can't see the black outline that was on his back anymore.--Shim 21:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I was talking just about the colors on his back... The colors that make up the pelt... not the outline itself... He looks blurry... Like I'm wearing beer-glasses or have my contacts out or something...  Kitsufox Fox's Den 03:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know about this one. It looks to dusty. GB  04:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Squirrelflight - For Approval
I also did a Squirrelflight picture. Let me know if you believe anything needs to be changed about it.--Shim 23:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow!I like this one.--JayfeatherTalk 00:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally, I don't... But I've never liked the cartoon-triangle-tabby in pixeling, so I'm automaticaly a touch against the style. Also, all of the shading edges are very hard-line, and it would look a lot nicer smoothed out and blended. And... that flood-filled-black background needs to go.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Well,I think it looks good. Why shouldn't we use it? It looks like it was done with a lot of effort, and it wasn't slapped together!!--Mousefire 04:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for great ratings Jay and Mouse. Well Kitsu this is the best I can do. I took away the background. I made the edges as soft as I could. I also took away those cartoon-triangle-tabby in pixeling markings. --Shim 04:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I was the first to admit I'm biased against that way of doing tabby and simply don't like it. *points up* Though now she dosen't have tabby markings and needs 'em. I was gonna wait for Gorse, who's actually in charge of the project to weight in. But I do have a feeling that she's going to want to seek improvement based on the fact that it looks really unfinished with the hard-lines between the shading and the main color areas. Mousefire, putting effort into things is never going to be grounds for using them. The quality of the final product is what we care about. Weather it takes 10 minuets or 10 hours to achieve, it's about how good it looks in the end. The fact that Shimmerpool is using a very low-powered and inflexible program that naturally achieves poor results means S/he'll have to work twice as hard as people with programs like GIMP (which is free for download, BTW) or Photoshop to achieve suitable results.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Now, I think you did a good job on this one Shim. But that looks more like Foxpaw than Squirrelflight. Remember, she's ginger, which looks slightly like orange. That color is reddish tabby, Foxpaw's pelt. If you want to know what Squirrelflight looks like, go to warriorcats.com! SIGNED, GB  03:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I personally don't like it, as it does look more like Foxpaw than Squirrelflight, and anyway, Squirrelflight's not red.

Weaselfur - For Approval
Finally got my butt in gear. Here's something I whipped up for Weaselfur. The hard part at this point is finding characters that have their pixels ready for them, as we're still awaiting pixels for most of the ranked characters. Also, I typically have a huge problem with tabbies and making them look good/realistic, so I've been trying to hold off on those or I fear I'll never get anything done. Anyway, opinions?
