User talk:Sunspirit

Welcome
Hi Sunspirit. :) I'm glad I am able to be an example for others. That's cool about you and your friend making a Warriors book together. I do that in my spare time, as well. Now, there are some art tutorials here that you can use to start making charart; plus a site called pixlr you can use to do art if you don't have your own program. You posted in the wrong place when asking to join Project Character Art; in future, please post here. I'm assuming you'd like to become a member; you can tell me on my talk page if I'm right. To get a mentor you can ask for one here, and if you need any help from anyone feel free to ask on their talk page. And remember to type four tildes; this: (~), after the end of a message. It will leave your user name with a link to your page. Thank you. -- Bram ble  23:53, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
Hello Sunspirit. What exactly do you need help with? I know for a fact that I can help you with PCA, but if you want help with things in general I suggest you go here. I don't think I meet for that kind of mentoring but feel free to come to me with art matters. Ashshadow. Warrior of StormClan  23:16, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Thanks Bramble!
I know you didn't mean it like that; I was just being difficult. :) Before I ask you what you'd like to learn, there are a few things I can do for you first. One is your signature; it has to have a link in it that will let me get to your user page and talk page. Here is the coding for one:

SunspiritThe Way the Breeze Whispers…

Which will look like this: SunspiritThe Way the Breeze Whispers…

Copy the coding above and go to your Preferences and paste the code in the signature box. Below the box, check the box marked 'Custom Signature'. Then press save down at the bottom. This will let you have the signature above each time you type the four tildes, which will also leave a time stamp. It is important to always sign correctly; this way people can respond to you easily and we know who left the message. Now; do you have any specific questions for me? --Bram ble 16:28, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hi Sandy!
Hi Sunspirit =) Of course you can join PB; I'll add you in. Feel free to ask me any questions, or, of course, your mentor, Bramble is familiar with the workings of the project. As for templates, I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the userboxes on my user page then you may like to visit Project Userboxes. If you mean the layout, then that is just some wikicode to add colour etc and is not a template as such. -- Sandy star 20:11, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Mentor-Bramble
Well, let's go in order on what you want to work on. First, art. Art is a tricky process; you never stop learning, and it takes a lot of practice to be able to be very good. You should involve yourself in an art program; pixlr if you don't have one of your own. Pixlr is a free online art site you can use. Practice coloring and shading and familiarizing yourself with the tools. You can look at some of the art tutorials here; they can help you learn what is an approval-worthy art. If you need help on which tools to use or saving a blank and uploading it in pixlr, ask.

Templates are an even trickier aspect of the wiki. They work with tons of HTML coding, which even I cannot understand fully without a lot of copy-pasting. It works with the source editor instead of the Rich Text, which I'm assuming you use. Basically there's a ton of coding involved in creating the template, and each piece of text forumulates a specific part of it. Template can be used on the page by typing on the page. We use the charart template, for instance, on all our character pages. There is some information that has to be filled in with it, to make the template useful in showing a cat's history details. I would recommend working with Helix on this; he's wonderful with HTML coding, and after your apprenticeship with me is done, he can become your mentor if you wish to work on this area.

As for how to make WWiki better... involve yourself as much as you can. Participate in discussions in the projects and edit in the contributive namespaces. Edit our articles with proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation and expand sections that need expanding. Help in any way you can.

That's basically all right now. If you'd like specific details, please ask. Thanks, Bram ble 16:09, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the compliment, Sunspirit. :) You're a wonderful apprentice as well. Now, the way you reserve a charart is to go here and scroll down to the Current Projects section. I will go ahead and put your name into the table now; when you edit the table, just scroll down to your name and put the character + rank you are doing and the date you put it. Please note the reservation is only good for two weeks; then it expires. For highlights in pixlr, you use the dodge tool; it looks like a small black microphone right next to the burn tool. Use it in the same way you use shading; run it over parts of the pelt. Except with highlights, you'll be going over the areas you want highlighted, such as the side of the torso, the haunch, and the head. File:Petalfall.deputy.png is a good example of this. Make sure to not overuse highlights and blur them well so they don't stand out too much. --Bram ble 11:59, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday! And it's cool that we have the same mentor! =) River pelt Heart of Amber 19:06, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

35 Image Limit
Just because other users do it does not mean it's right, Sunspirit. I'm trying very hard to get people to remember to stay under this; I have it up for a reason. This is so the page does not get cluttered, highly lengthy, and slow to load. Believe me; you are fortunate you never had to see it when it was up to 60 sections. Never, ever do something intentionally breaking the rules, even if you see others do it. Didn't you see us warning those users?

Secondly, your Mothwing was fairly good, except she was already up for approval. In future though, when you upload an image, you need to name it like this: 'Name.rank.ext.' Which will look like this: 'Firestar.warrior.png'. This is to keep our naming system uniform. Thanks, Bram ble 15:48, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Birdy
I'm flattered that you like my Birdy, Sunspirit! I was sort of sad when she got declined, though I was sort of expecting it. Anyway, what do you mean by your story? I'm a (unpublished) novelist, and I'd love to hear about it! Do you mean a fanfiction, or like a novel? I've got a few cats other than Birdy lying around my computer, if you want one of those too. Let me know, and I'll tell you which ones. I also see you're a fairly new user. I'm kind of new too, but I love it here. I think you will too. Holly dapple  00:51, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I know I sound stupid, but I don't really understand--do you want the character Birdy or the pixel that I did? Holly dapple  03:31, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Sorry Bramble
It's all right. :) Just try to remember this wise quote:

"What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular."

All is forgiven. Now, about Rowanclaw, an alternate picture is probably in order. I think he was listed as a she-cat for at least two books... poor guy. I think Icethroat may be planning to do that image, though. --Bram ble 04:18, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but I have a few things yet to do here and don't have time to chat. It's 11:24 pm here, you see, and I'd like to get done as soon as possible so I can go to bed. --Bram ble 04:24, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
