Bumblekit for Approval
I'm finally back! Well I see Bumblekit was taken down like I expected. So here we have Bumblekit up again. No highlights this round (i despise them on kits)just different sets of shading. I looked at some of the other kits for reference.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 22:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back, Bumblekit! I'd say he looks pretty good, but your shading confuses me. Where is the light source coming from? -- Goldencloud 23:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

The shading style looks fine to me as it's what is used on a lot of approved kits. I just think it needs to be darker and slightly bigger on the forelegs. Sandy Talk! 10:17, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Well here we are. Finally got me some more free time. I made the shading darker and long on the legs.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 01:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Now you need to blend it into the pelt a lot more to get a natural transition and perhaps make it smaller on the neck Sandy Talk! 08:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Updated-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 23:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, he sort of looks like he's wearing a hood with earholes because the shading's a bit large. :) Maybe decrease the shading a little around his head, and on his right side the shading under his chin looks a bit large. Also shade his ears a little. He looks cute otherwise. -- Bramble My Realm 02:24, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The shading on (our) right side seems short. Bring it out so it fill that entire area behind the leg. -- Dawnfeather 09:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Updated-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 00:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The new line of shading is really stong. Soften it out a lot. -- Minnowberry Dawnfeather's Den 06:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a line outside of the line art.Minnowclaw 02:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw


 * Updated. Never noticed that line since it got onto the alpha channel. Its fixed now, thank you Minnowclaw. And soften it out....I'm guessing Dawnfeather?-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 20:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Yup, it was me, Dawnfeather. Sorry about that sig... Anyway, I think that the shading on the head and the same shading I was talking about before on the shoulder could be softened a bit more. -- Dawnfeather talk! 22:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The (Our right) right ear looks odd.Minnowclaw 00:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Runningwind- For Approval
I'm not sure about the stripes, I am so sick of doing the other ones though... -- Darkhallows Lair 09:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about the stripes either. I think that the idea could work though. Try and use this effect to do cats that have marbled tabby markings. It could work. Fiddle around a bit more. Maybe make them curved and wavy randomly, so with and some without forks. Could work... -- Dawnfeather 09:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Triangle tabby shouldn't be accepted like this. Use your regular tabby markings, DH. Plus, If you want color info, Runningwind is a brown tabby, look in Rising Storm when he dies. --

I love these kind of markings, personally. Real cats have the markings, I think, from some cat pics I've looked through. Anyway, maybe darken him because he looks more golden than brown.--Warrior♥ Warrior's Palace 17:42, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

He definitely needs to be more brown and less yellow in my opinion. Also, there is a dark stripe down his back not disimilar to Greystripe's...I don't remember him having this Sandy Talk! 18:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, the smooth y's are the most accurate, like the one's on Leafpool. --Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 22:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Depends on the cat, actually. Does he look better now?-- Darkhallows Lair 07:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I reckon he could be a bit browner. I i like the stripes. :D -- Dawnfeather 08:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * He's supposed to be light brown. I don't wanna make him too dark...-- Darkhallows Lair 08:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I like the colour better now but the ear pink needs a bit more blending. Also, the markings on the top of his head look a little strange... Sandy Talk! 09:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I changed it.-- Darkhallows Lair 20:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Could you add some tabby marks coming out from his chest? That part of his body looks bare. Also add some more around the facial area. -- Bramble My Realm 23:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Prey-Hunter Blanks - For approval
(M) - Alright! I've drawn cats for awhile now, so I thought I'd put it to good use!


 * Double lineart? Cheak.


 * About the right size? Cheak.

All it needs is a transparent bckground. Could somebody do that for me please? I know how to do it, but I've had some troubles and I don't want to risk anything! Thanks! Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)



OMG, ur so good! =] This are real good. Lets see what everyone else says- but wait, some pplz made leaders with the warrior blanks... <font color="LightBlue" style="background:Red">Lavastream, <font color="LightPurple" style="background:Pink">SunsetClan's Medicine Cat! 20:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I've done the transparency for you and had no problems with pixlr... don't know what that was about. As for the images. I like the position you've chosen and overall they are very good. There are a few things though. Firstly their backs are quite bumpy... Secondly, their heads are quite small and could be a bit bigger. I also think the fur on the belly of the longhaired looks strange and needs to be a bit... neater (that sounds so stupid). We also nede to think about how easy they'll be to colour. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 20:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Thanies! I think the people who made leaders with warrior blanks understood that leader blanks would be made one day. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you mean that they coloured Bluestar in a warrior blank for example. If so then the reason for that is that we are eventually hoping to get images of all ranks every cat has ever upheld. They will all be added to a character's page together. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 20:20, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I'll fix these some more tomorrow... but for now, the fur and backs have been fixed on the male and female longhaired. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

There is gray on the picture? <font color="LightBlue" style="background:Red">Lavastream, <font color="LightPurple" style="background:Pink">SunsetClan's Medicine Cat! 01:51, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

'''(M) - Note: I will be gone for the next week or so. Please do not delete these images. I am planning to work on them as soon as I am done with camp. Thank you.''' Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I got rid of the grey and decreased the pointyness of the chin, but it's not showing up for me. I'm going to work on these some more tomorrow. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I fixed the grey on the images (It wasn't the transparent background that Mistfur was talking about), decreased the pointedness of the chin, and fixed the backs on the other balnks. Is there a trick to increasing the size of the head? Thankies! Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I was thinking... I don't know how bad you'd think this idea but I really like these and especially as prey-hunter blanks because it looks like they're leaping on prey as the mountain cats leap... dunno. Just a thought. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 17:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I love that idea Sandy! Should I put some kind of prey underneath their paws or just leave it? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) I edited the images slightly, but I can't upload do to my computer freezing, so I'll upload them later. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm worried how easy will the prey-hunters color, I think you should use an example like what Bramble did with the queen blanks, so when we are going to approve the prey-hunters we can approve the example.--Yai-Girl 02:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl


 * I got bored and decided to do an example for you. I didn't have any cat in mind when I did it but I guess it could be Brook.



I really like the shorthaired and they're not actually that hard to use at all but the long-haired's fur is still bothering me. It's kind of... spikey... Also, the hind legs on them all need to be a little longer I think and on the longhaired there is a strange indent on the front leg. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 12:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Now that I can upload again (I have no clue what that was about) I fixed some pixels and the indent on the paw. I'm going to work on the longhairs and fix the legs.

Also, thank you for coloring that image! It looks nice. :3 Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Fixed the fur on the longhaired. I didn't fix the haunch because it looked really strange when I did.

The main thing that's bothering me is that these blanks seem smaller than the other blanks, yet when I try to increase the sixe it blurs it. Any suggestions? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I know... I don't know what to say as they blurred for me too.. there must be a way though <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 19:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * To me, they look small, so make the head bigger and scale the blank. (You can do that in paint or photoshop, whatever program you choose. --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:Silver; background:#6699FF; border:3px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Silver;">Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 22:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The head is kind of egg shaped, it needs a stop. Also, could you make them a little bigger?--<span style="color: darkblue; background:#gold; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 3em; color:darkblue;"> Darkhallows Lair 17:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks very, well, I can't really say. Oh, It looks like you went nuts with the sharpen tool.Minnowclaw 16:16, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I love the colour but Minnow is right; more blur tool neeeded all over! Alao, the ear pink needs to be, well, pink (but not too bright and make sure it's blended) Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, she needs a puil and highlight in her eye. Take a look at the way some other approved warriors' eyes have been done for guidance. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I blended the shading more, and added a much needed highlight and shade on the shoulder. I made the ear pink more distinct and added the pupil and highlight to the eye. Anything else?--Sandiwolf 19:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

It actually looked like you painted it! And did you use MS paint? Summer is here  !!!!!!!!!!  19:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I use MS Paint to make blanks (Which I won't be doing anymore). I use Gimp to color, because it's a lot more efficient for shading. --Sandiwolf 19:56, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Very vacker (I'm sorry, I have Swedish class and must practice; means beautiful). But that highlight that stretches out into the torso from the chest needs to be blended or taken out. -- Bramble My Realm 23:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, and blended ;D --Sandiwolf 13:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

The ear looks darker around the edges. Maybe you could make it one color, then blend. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 15:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but, it still looks to sharp, and un-lifelike. Needs a lot more blending.Minnowclaw 15:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

It looks like it out-lined in a lighter color, almost highlighted, and the shading is hard to see. The pelt looks like a mix of different colors with the shading and highlighting instead of natural. Try putting the shading on first and then the highlights, instead of the lighter color on the edge. ;]--<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#65909A">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#B0E0E6">Warrior's Den 16:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Better. You need to put some shading on the curve of the hindleg and the chest.

To-be Blanks- For Approval


These were going to be for Deputy, but I saw that Deputy blanks were already made, and New Warrior Blanks were Desired. How about these ones? Male and Female Shorthairs and Longhairs. (Wow, I'm just spitting out artwork lately o3o. I have too much time on my hands) -<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;green; background:black; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightgreen;"> Sandiwolf

They're good, but to small, make them a little bit bigger. Also, I think the nose might be too long, make it the littlest bit shorter.Minnowclaw 16:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Oh afterthought, the lines on the tail of the long hair looks like they've been cut. Also, It was just thought that we needed more girlish cats for the warriors, these are way different and we would have to redo all of the other blanks when we could just do a little fix. Maybe you can work on that? (Don't get me wrong, these are great.)Minnowclaw 17:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I'm glad you like them, and as a note: MS Paint + Bigger = pixelated fail. Dx. But anywho, under Desirable Blanks, it stated specifically this:

DESIRABLE BASES * Warrior o More feminine looking Female Longhair Base o More masculine looking Male Longhair Base So I assumed that a new female and male blank were needed. D= --Sandiwolf 19:31, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes that is true, but we have many warrior pictures already approved. It would take a very long time to redo them with the new blanks unless they had been a quick fix. Put your work to the test. These bases are really great and can be used in other parts maybe. Also, I'm only a warrior in the project. So if a senior warrior or Bramble thinks we can use these, well, I don't have the power to say anything against it.Minnowclaw 20:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

They look a little to... cute to be warriors. Maybe Tribe To-be's? They look young. But I really love them and they should be used as something.--<span style="color: darkblue; background:#gold; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 3em; color:darkblue;"> Darkhallows Lair 21:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Could we use them as apprentice blanks? Please don't ban me for saying this, as I'm not bashing the apprentice blanks but just criticizing them, but I never really liked them that much. Don't get me wrong, they're good, but they look like they needed more work before they were approved. But I really really really like these! I definitely want to use them as something! --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;#00B8E6; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:3em; color:#00B8E6;">Goldencloud 21:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The heads look cartoony, and I think we don't need a completely new base, just modify the old one. Because then, what about the other accepted cats made with the old ones? Plus, they look like wolves. I think tribe-to-be's would be the best use for these. --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:Silver; background:#6699FF; border:3px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Silver;">Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 22:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't show up sooner, i had marching band camp. Welcome to PCA, Sandiwolf. :) These look great, though I agree with Mallinois and Darkhallows they'd be better used as tribe to-be's. About 3/4's of our approved images are warriors, and it would take too long to redo all of them. Now, on the images, the she-cats need whiskers (in kittykat world, the females have whiskers :) And the lineart needs to be thickened to go with our other blanks. Also, the hind legs on all of them is bent at a right angle, make it a bit more natural. That's about it for now. Great job! -- Bramble My Realm 23:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I reckon they could be something from the Tribe. Cave Guard, Prey Hunter, or To-Be. -<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 06:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the legs and thickened the lineart. --Sandiwolf 13:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Are they prey-hunter to-bes or cave guard to-bes? Also, you need to thicken the line art on the short hairs and all around to blank. Minnowclaw 01:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

To me I think they should be prey-hunter to-bes becuse that they look swifter. (The long-haired she-cat still has no wiskers.)--Yai-Girl 21:21, 25 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

I'm with Yai-girl. These should be To-Be Preyhunters. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 04:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Prey Hunter To-bes sound fine to me. When I can, I'll thicken the missed areas of the lineart and add those whiskers!(I keep forgetting!) --Sandiwolf 15:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Make sure all the muzzels are the same.Minnowclaw 16:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Kittypet Blanks- For Approval
I swear this is the last thing I'll do today, so I don't flood the list. anyways, I saw that Kittypet Blanks were being CONSIDERED. So if they are ever needed, I made these. --Sandiwolf 15:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The bodies are too big for the head, make the head bigger or the body smaller. Also, the bodies look to muscular when kittypets are supposed to be softer. The tails on the long hairs' still look like they are cut. Also, on the long hairs, the collars look like they have been cut, is that fur?Minnowclaw 16:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

The ears are a very strange shape - perhaps make them thinner and slightly more pointed. Also, the longhaired tails look a bit like candyfloss - get rid of some of the small lines. Their backs are very flat and there is some discrepancy between the two longhaired versions - either make the back fluffy or not. Also, the lineart needs to be thicker to fit in with the existing blanks. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Minnow: I made the bodies a tad smaller. They're also meant to look fat, not muscular. Furthermore, yes, that is in fact fur. Sandy: I'm not used to doing thickly outlined drawings, but I did my best to edit them. I added fur to the longhair male's back, and fixed the longhair tails. The ears? I made them thinner and taller.--Sandiwolf 19:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't entirely sure what you meant, Shimmer, so I made a second on ewith a lighter tail. Sandwich, distinctive means it stood out, or was special, or something like that. Or it was just definitely ginger.

Mallowpaw for Approval
Yes! I can get on now! O.K. I made Mallowpaw of WindClan this time and I would love some pointers on the shading, eyes and markings. Tortiekitty 23:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Edited it so it's not on a thumbnail. This is pretty good for a first time, Tortiekitty. The tabby stripes need to look more like stripes and be a bit more distinct, because these look like little dark wisps of color. Look at some of the other approved tabbies for reference. He also needs to be slightly lighter, as he looks sort of reddish brown. Shrink the ear pink a little so it's not overlapping the ear, and restore the tail to it's original length (I know why you did it, it said he had a short tail on his article and big blue eyes. I've looked, there's nothing about that in the books. It was an edit from an unregistered user that seems to have nothing better to do than add false details into descriptions. I've found almost 20 more like it.) Anyways, great job on Mallowpaw! -- Bramble My Realm 00:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the gray line, added chin shading and even a little more black. And in Twilight she was described as a tiny copy of Sorreltail adn Sorreltail is a tortie and white. Sand wich  989  18:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Anything else?(Sorry I'm really impatient) Sand wich  989  14:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

The ginger patch on the head looks a bit bright. Maybe try darkening it a shade. --<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#65909A">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#B0E0E6">Warrior's Den 17:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Millie (Queen)- For approval


Do you like her? I colored her on Paint. Point out any mistakes! <font color="lime" style="background:Purple">Hawkfire <font color="orange" style="background:purple">Rock and roll all nite! 22:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

This is a pretty good start, Hawkey (except that my queen blanks really weren't approved yet). What I can spot off the top of my head are that the tabby marks overlap the lineart, and that they are very sharp and jagged, and maybe make a few Y-shaped tabby marks as well to use variety. Her eyes are yellow, I think, and they need a more distinct pupil and a highlight to make it look alive. The ear pink also needs to be moved more to the middle of the ear. Last, the image looks slightly blurred and it needs shading. Use pixlr.com (I think) or download GIMP (I believe it's free) to add shading. I would also suggest changing the file format to .png, because .jpg makes its overall image poor. -- Bramble My Realm 23:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hawkfire, I saw a few tabby markings whent outside the lines, but I don't blame you when I tried to do Littlecloud on Pixlr I when't outside the lines too.--Yai-Girl 03:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

Okay, I will work on shading and stripes. The eyes are blue (F.Y.I.) It just didn't turn out blue. Well I am going to make Jayfeather! WOOO! <font color="lime" style="background:Purple">Hawkfire <font color="orange" style="background:purple">Rock and roll all nite! 13:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Does she look better? I fixed the stripes and worked on eye color. =) <font color="lime" style="background:Purple">Hawkfire <font color="orange" style="background:purple">Rock and roll all nite! 23:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

She lookd kind of... scratchy and blotchy (almost pixelated). Also, there is blue smudges around the eye and the stripes need to be darker (as does the background grey). Also, there is no shading that I can see so you need to add shading. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 07:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Hawkfire, it's nothing personal. You're new to the project and it takes some time to get used to (you should have seen my first images). It's the job of the warriors and senior warriors to give comments on art and constructive critisism. It's just to improve the art so that it an be approved until it is at the highest possible standard for the wiki. :) <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 16:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Oakfur, For Approval


First attempt. I did him because he's Tawnypelts mentor. Any comments on howw to make it better? Silver tree  ♥  12:43, 30 June, 2009 (UTC)

Add belly shading. Sand wich  989  18:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Add a few darker stripes, that would make the charcat more interesting. And yes, a little more shading <font color="lime" style="background:Purple">Hawkfire <font color="orange" style="background:purple">Rock and roll all nite! 18:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

No, don't add stripes. He's not a tabby, he's just a brown tom. And yes, I'm with Sandwich, add some more belly shading and on the chest area. He looks very good. -- Bramble My Realm 19:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Also the ear iskind of fluro - choose a slightly less bright shade. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 19:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Updated- I made the ear pink darker, and I added belly shading. Anything else? Oh yeah:

'''Cannot be on for the next week since I have to go out of state. I will be no where near a comuter for the entire week, but starting next Thursday, maybe the Wednesday, I'll work on Oakfur again. I'll work on him again tonight if there's any other improvements you think would be good. Please do not take him down. Silver  tree'''  ♥  17:23, 30 June, 2009 (UTC)

Extend the back shading down towards his bum and the chest shading towards his forepaws. Then add a little shading on his head and push the belly shading in a bit so it's following the line of the lineart. Blend it all a little and I think this'll look really good :) <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 07:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Talltail- For approval


Look everyone! My first real charcat!!! Let me know if it has issues, I shaded him and everything!! I want this charcat to be approved. <font color="lime" style="background:Purple">Hawkfire <font color="orange" style="background:purple">Rock and roll all nite! 15:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, first of all, I changed the section to Talltail, since that was his warrior name, and as we'll be seeing him in Bluestar's Prophecy as a warrior it will work. Now, the black patches on him need to a color-slightly-lighter-than-black, because then it just goes with the lineart. Lighten the black, and then we'll go from there. Also, if you're still using Paint, I would highly recommend getting GIMP or using pixlr. -- Bramble My Realm 17:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Bramble's right. For some idea of what an approved black and white cat should look like take a look at Crowfrost, smallkit or toadkit (approved images). That's the standard we need before approval <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 15:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

My first try at the new blanks (which I think work really well). What you guys think. Sand wich  989  19:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad people like the queen blanks. :) She's beautiful, and the only thing I can spot at the mo is to add some shading on her forelegs and chest area and also make the ear pink a little brighter and more triangular. -- Bramble My Realm 20:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Added needed shading to needed places. Sand wich  989  03:49, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - *glomps* I love it! The only thing I can suggest is to add another ginger patch on her chest. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Lovely, Mal. I think the shading on the white parts needs a little more blurring, cause it looks a little smudgy, and what Mosswhisker said. Other than that I think she's great. -- Bramble My Realm 20:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Blurred shading and added another ginger patch on the cholder/neck area. --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:Silver; background:#6699FF; border:3px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Silver;">Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 21:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I think you may have to do him as another cat. We don't know Splashheart's description, and likely never will. Maybe you could do Mintfur, if you make him a touch lighter. -- Bramble My Realm 02:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Darkstripe- For approval


I am getting better at shading! :) Tell me what you think! Hawkfire My Den 14:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Try using Pixlr or download GIMP or Photoshop. But if you cant download go to pixlr (a website) and blend the shading and tabby markings. Sand wich  989  15:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Hawkfire, I really suggest you start one image and work on it until it's approved. You've now got Millie, Talltail and Darkstripe. Firstly, that's more than any user is allowed at once (see green message above) and secondly, none of them are anywhere near to approval. You need to take on the comments and work on the images to improve them, not just add new ones every five minutes. For this image I suggest you do as Sandwich said. Also, the eye is red?? It needs to be the colour shown on his page (or if none is mentioned then make it generic, ie. amber). Your shading needs blending in and then work on making teh tabby markings less square and more realistic. We have some great tabby marking styles used on some approved tabbies; try imitating one of them. I know that the traditional 'jagged y' markings are good (see Brambleclaw and Dustpelt) or I personally use some markings which are very esay to do (see Tornear and Thornclaw). I look forwrad to seeing one of your images approved in the near future, and even more, I look forward to seeing them improve as you work on them. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 15:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Opinions...
I was thinking earlier about the blanks we have already and the blanks we still need. I have a few things that I'm not sure about and I think we need to make a decision on it so these blanks can be made:


 * 1) Do we need seperate prey-hunter-to-be blanks and cave-guard-to-be blanks? As far as I can see there are only four or five to-bes actually mentioned by name. About half of these are each. That means that one blank would potentially be used a maximum of three times. It would make more sense to have one blank for all to-bes regardless of what they hope to grow up to be. (Things can change anyway and they may not end up as a prey-hunter even if they're training to be one etc)
 * 2) Would Scourge, Bone and the other BloodClan cats be considered rogues? loners? Clan cats? Personally I think rogues as they don't obey Clan rules. (In the Sasha manga the rogue, Pine tells Sasha that 'rogue' is the Clan cat name for cats that don't obey the Warrior Code...)
 * 3) Are Daisy, Smoky and Floss kittypets or loners? (obviously Daisy becomes a queen, but what are they to start with?) Personally I think kittypets as they take twoleg food, but I was wondering.
 * 4) Should all elders use the same blanks regardless of being Clan, rogue, loner, kittypet, ancient or tribe? I think they should as there aren't that many elders at all and all elderly cats have the same role essentially regardless of where they live. They are respected and cared for. If all kits are kits then all elders are elders... Opinions?
 * 5) Are we going to have Sharpclaw and Sharpclaw-in-training blanks for the ancients? or just use the warrior and apprentice blanks?
 * 6) Are we going to have seperate queen blanks for the ancients or use the same ones?
 * 7) How about kit-mothers? Do they (all three of them lol) need a seperate blank?

I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm trying to get some things straight in my own mind... lol Sorry. Some opinions would be welcomed.<span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
