Feathertail - For Approval
After a bit of work i've come up with this pic. This is my first tabby and I appreciate any suggestions for improvement. -- FxC**The Waterfall** 23:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC) It's good,but I think that the abby markings should be lighter.-- Jayfeather Song of Storms 00:28, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Here is the updated version. How do you guys like it now? -- FxC **The Waterfall** 13:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks better!I like it.-- Jayfeather Song of Storms 13:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... it looks pretty good, but if you look closely, there are some faint white spots. Are those supposed to be there? Grocery ( Grocery store, Cart ) 00:25, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

GB, do you mean the lighter parts? That's the shading. Sorry if you misunderstood. You'll see on some pixels, Brambleclaw for instance, that the shading is like that. -- FxC **The Waterfall** 01:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I think she looks like what she should look like.A mix between Gray and Silver,even though she has Silver's pelt color.-- Jayfeather Song of Storms 13:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Jay. Do you know where Kitsu is? -- FxC **The Waterfall** 13:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

If that's supposed to be there, than I think you did a great job on this one, FxC. Grocery ( Grocery store, Cart ) 00:56, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the great comments, guys. As soon as Gorse and Kitsu approve, I'll put it on the page. -- FxC *The Waterfall* 13:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I can't approve it as is. But I will say that you've got a great start and I just have a little thing that needs tweaking. The tabby markings look completely drawn on, and not like a part of the pelt. Mayhaps blend them in just a touch so the edges of the markings are a bit softer.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Kitsu, I blurred the tabby markings. Whaddya think now? --FxC **The Waterfall** 13:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's looking great. Mind if I get a little extra specific? The shading looks like markings on her. Maybe buff out the edges a bit so they don't have any sort of hard edge. Shade, shade, shade, Blend, blend, blend. That's my mantra.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you like it now? --FxC **The Waterfall** 13:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if they're blended, but some of the tabby markings look like they're melting. G B 02:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Some of the markings are blended, some arn't. Shoot for a more consistent quality in the look of the markings, please.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:38, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Better? --FxC **The Waterfall** 12:41, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Much. Now... Just a touch more shading and I'd call it done. Great work.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Briarkit - For approval
I drew Briarkit. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. G B 03:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

A few things. One, the background cannot be colored, and also needs to be transparent. I can fix that for you. Two, the eyes are "missing." Three, there needs to be more blending and shading. FxC **The Waterfall** 13:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

1. I will fix the background, but I would appreciate it if you made it transparent.2. Her eye-color hasn't been said yet; if it is revealed in Long Shadows, I'll add it.3. If you can give me some tips on how to do the shading and blending, I'll work on it. G B 14:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Idf you downloaded an art program you should have a blurtool if you do you use a darker shade around the edges then you use the blurtool to blend them together.--Redflare 14:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I reuploaded Briarkit; I attempted to some shading. Like it? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 15:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Looks better. The outline need to be black though. For the eyes, I know it hasn't been revealed. I suggest green - it's really neutral. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 02:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If we left things out to wait for details from the books, pretty much none of the characters would be able to be done. I'd personally suggest a generic cat-eye-color like amber. Outlines need to be black. Shading is needed. And the pink selected for inside the ears... It's rather... bright and unnatural.. Maybe suggest a softer, gentler pink. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Added her eyes. But I forgot about the black outline, fix that as soon as I can! <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 00:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Did the outline. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 23:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Kitsufox is right. It does look like a zombie with these eyes.ZZ Top 19:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you should just draw in little pupils to make it look more natural. 97.115.124.162 03:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree...-- J K  O  03:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Spiderleg - For approval
I drew Spiderleg. Any constructive criticism is welcome. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 16:57, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Siderleg has extra long legs I think, and also, try to add some shading.-- J K  O  20:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll try and do something about the legs, but he has shading. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 21:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I can't do anything about the legs; when I tried, I almost stretched him to death, and I made him blurry! <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 22:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Thats really good,it just needs shading and longer legs.I personally don't see any shading. If you want longer legs,can you cut somewhere,paste that somewhere,then draw a bit for the legs,then add the other part?-- Jayfeather Sheikah 21:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What you're asking for, Sheikah... It's a major affair rather than something so simple. For it to look right the back legs and back would need to be almost completely redrawn. GB... Blending and shading are needed. And a less fluorescent shade for the inside of the ears. Not a bad start, though. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Re-uploaded Spiderleg. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 23:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I tried to blend the brown a little. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 01:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the shading on the brown part is great, jut needs to be blurred. The black shading, I must say, looks like a marking on the pelt, a marking that is not blurred correctly, to boot. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 13:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Hope this looks better. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 15:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The brown patch on the chest needs to be blended in, right now it looks like he laid in some brown paint. Also, around the ears and in a couple of other spots it looks like the flood-fill escaped the boundaries of the lineart. And the pink circle of the inside of the really needs to get shaped properly to look natural and blended into the actual image. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Harespring - For Approval
My first attempt at making a pixel. I know there's a lot wrong with it, but anyway. Criticize away :–– &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; undefined 19:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * My first impression involves the fact that I see strait lines. Which are not natural ;) Rough 'em up. Definetly not a bad start, though. You do need blending, though, on the markings so they look less painted on and more a part of the pelt. And it needs shading. I swear... I need a notice at the top that reads "If you haven't blended or shaded your picture it isn't ready for consideration". <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 19:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I blended it a bit more, added a bit more (of what I hope is) shading. Any better?–– &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; undefined 20:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The only place I see shading is on the back leg... You need more. To give the image definition and a suggestion of shape. The white markings are someone better. But there are still strait lines on the forepaw and tail. The pink for the inside of the ear... Is sorta messed up, too. You might want to take a look at how others have done it... Right now it looks off because the pink is too wide. Nice work on fixing the markings, though. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:33, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I added some more shading, fixed the ear, and added some more smudging. Gotta go, though, so I'll do the straight lines when I get back, sometime tomorrow.–– &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; undefined 13:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Yay, Eu's helping with the project! :p But I thought Harespring was brown and white; this looks nothing like brown. He also looks blurry at some spots, and I can't see the shading. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 23:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You'll want to fix where the blurring and smudging fuzzed-up your outline. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't belive Harespring has spots, either. This needs to be redone competly.ZZ Top 19:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Rowanclaw - For Approval
I had a go at Rowanclaw. What do you think?-- J K  O  01:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Awesome,but it needs shading of course.I love the little part between the legs.It looks cool.-- Jayfeather Sheikah 01:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Made the shading more visible. Personally, I think it looks a lot better.-- J K  O  02:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * A very nice start. But right now the shading is just hugging the outlines, leaving the image looking flat. You're looking to create depth and realism in the image with the shading, along with visual interest. You might also want to add the tabby 'M' to the forehead, since all red cats are technically also tabby in reality, even those that appear solid have the 'M'. But that's not strictly necessary, I'm just a psycho like that. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The tabby 'M'? What is that? -- J K  O  14:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

It's the pattern of stripes on a tabby's head that looks like an M. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 01:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Are you saying he is a tabby? All he is listed as is A ginger tom (or she-cat), no tabby. Should I add it or not? I've never done tabby, so I won't be very good at it.-- J K  O  14:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I added another version. Unfortunately, with GIMP this is about the best I can get with shading, but if there are any more issues I can try.-- J K  O  15:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Without full shading... I simply can't accept it, Jakko... <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 13:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'm clueless in this shading game. Can anyone tell me where shading is definately needed?-- J K  O  20:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I think he could use just a little shading along his back, as well as his chest-area. His tail looks fine, because you can't get much shading on those tails. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 23:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

GB is the only one that knows were shading is needed? I will try to add more shading.-- J K  O  20:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Taa Daa! I added shading, and the tabby 'M'!-- J K  O  23:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's coming along, but I suggest blurring the tabby M on the forehead. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 22:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I think this looks good Sandstar12 15:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Very nice improvements. Only a few issues left. In places the outlines have gone fuzzy. The shading needs to be amped up a bit, and blended more. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:46, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I tried to "de-fuzz" it. I added shading to the belly, although it looks kind of weird.-- J K  O  20:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like your shading is just smudging the outlines... So we really need to amp up the shading and give him that 3d look we all know and love. And the ear pink needs to be made a part of the picture. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * A nice start, but there are a few concerns. The markings have very un-naturally looking edges. Mainly in the sense that there are 2 distinct half circle markings (the one where ear and head meet, and the one on the flank). And then... Here we go... I'm gonna say it again: SHADING. *cough* Anyways, a few fixes, and you'll be good to go. It's an excellent beginning. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 12:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I really like it! I don't see really anything that needs improving, except for maybe blurring the tail patch a bit. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 16:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The markings on the head and tail need to be blended in like the ones on the body. Shading is needed. Yes. Even on the white parts. And the pink inside the ear looks painted on and needs to be worked fully into the image. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * You've nailed getting the patches blended (Good job), but the shading needs to be intensified so that you get that 3D impression. And the ear pink still looks painted in and needs to get worked completely into the image to look more natural. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:43, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Just what i was thinking,Bramble.It is shading,but i little harder to notice than the others. Probably cause of the shape and stuff.-- Jayfeather Sheikah 01:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

And the pink of the inside of the ears needs to acctually be worked into the image, rather than just painted in.

I am Not saying they aren't. I'm just saying 1. Firestar is EXCEPTIONALLY brightly coloured. and 2. Sandstorm is LIGHT ginger/sand coloured, like I said above.

Ginger is pretty much orange.A shade of orange.-- Jayfeather Sheikah 19:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

hm...this looks more like Squirrelflight's colour than Sandstorm's. I too would imagine Sandstorm to be a slightly lighter shade...more like sand. The eyes are the perfect colour though! --Sandstar12 16:16, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Like Jay said above, ginger is pretty much orange. Squirrelflight is ginger as well, but have you seen her image? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 22:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

This looks fine...but the shading seems a bit minimal, and also is not blurred. It's mentioned that Sandstorm has barely visible, light ginger tabby stripes. You probably want to do the tabby, or, if you can't, at least add the tabby M. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 01:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a blurtool; is that the same as blending, though? 'Cause if it is, I can do that. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 01:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is right, but I think blurtool just means you need to blur/blend the hard shading edges into teh rest of the coat to give it a softer edge and therefore make it look more realistic. (but I'm no expert - that's what i think...)--Sandstar12

The book description is "a pale ginger she-cat". I do no think that the image is pale. Swifty {ASTRX} 16:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I tried to blend it, a little. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 22:06, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've always considered 'ginger' to have a yellowy color to is (like a ginger root when you cut it open). It's certainly not the shade I've ever envisioned Sandstorm as... Also, shading needs to be increased and properly blended. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Mousewhisker - for approval
Okay, my second attempt at a pixel. This one's better, I think. I remembered to use the correct blank this time at least!! Thoughts? (ps. I couldn't find what colour his eyes are supposed to be - I don't think it says - but I thought blue looked better than amber) --Sandstar12 19:21, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

This one is really great! But its up to gorse and kitsu.--Redflare 19:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Redflare x--Sandstar12 21:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, it looks fine other than the fact that the female blank was used. But good job! --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 12:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

darn-it! I didn't notice any difference between the blanks...Do I need to re-do this on the male blank? (don't worry - one day I will get it right :])--Sandstar12 15:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

No just take out the spek from the eye.--Redflare 19:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, think I see the difference now. I re-uploaded. --Sandstar12 20:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you need to erase a few pixels, then the eye will be male. But otherwise this looks great. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 01:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for the positive comments - now I just need to wait and see whether it's accepted.--Sandstar12 19:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * A very nice start, but not yet ready to be accepted. It needs to be shaded to give the image a 3D quality, and the pink on the inside of the ear looks painted on and needs to be worked into the image fully. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Is this any better? --Sandstar12 17:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's improved, but take a good look at Bramble's works, and you'll see more what I'm talking about. You'll want to be careful not to smudge the outlines. You're getting there, just a bit further and it'll be great. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 03:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Medicine Cat Blanks - For Approval
This is my hand-drawn base. My first try at making blanks. PLEASE criticize me. BTW this is female, longhaired. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 01:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

You might want to add herbs in the picture, to make the status more obvious. -- Swifty {ASTRX} 01:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

The lines look like they should be a bit bolder. Otherwise, this is good.

Wow, this is really good. The only problem I see is that it is a little big. Medicine cats are usually smaller than most warriors. If only we could shorten it up, it would be perfect!-- J K  O  02:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Scaled the image, what do ya guys think now? Swifty, adding herbs might be something the actual artist would do, but I'm not completely sure. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 13:29, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

This is really very good. It is, in my opinion, the same sort of style as the current blanks although I do agree that maybe the lines need to be a bit bolder, but I'm not sure whether doing that would ruin the image... I like it! --Sandstar12 19:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Much better!-- J K  O  01:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a nice start, but I have major issues with how rough the lineart itself is, and I won't be able to accept it unless that all gets smoothed out and made a bit more professional looking. Right now it's not really usable because of the jaggedness of the outlines. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

ZZ Top, that was not necessary. You could have said, maybe you could fix the bumpy back.-- J K  O  14:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Politeness is a must, ZZtop. Additionally, there is no reason to repeat and pound people with comment on things that have already been bought up unless there have been updates and the point hasn't been improved yet. Remember, people donate their time to do these things and deserve respect, even if you don't agree with the execution. Without respect nothing would get done on this project. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * When people submit art to this project, it is with the assumption that thier art will be judged against the established quality level and they will be told when their are issues with it. It is not being harsh when you're telling them something that is going to keep it from being accepted. I'm sick of people inflating egos and stroking them and growing them up only for me to have to come along and be the only person with the honesty to tell them it's not going to be acceptable. While it never hurts to make your criticism constructive and include notes on things that where done right... There is nothing wrong with letting people know the points for improvement. The lineart DOES need to be brought back, and then the shading needs to be amped up big time to create that nice touch of realism. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion
Ummm....just a suggestion. I was thinking that maybe we should have somebody else that is a senior warrior in this project, that approves the art and gives good suggestions. Kitsu's been gone for at least a month, and Gorse has been gone for ages. Without them, all these good pictures are sitting here with really no reason.-- J K  O  22:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Umm, I think Bramble would be great, and maybe me too. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 23:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * First off, appologies for how long I've been gone. I will get through the backlog in the next 3 days, I swear. It's just been nuts since I got back, and Foamfighting season is winding to a close so I've been distracted. In addition to the ammount of energy Foamfighting sucks out of you, Plus the day I SHOULD have had to work on this turning into 'Sick Puppy Vet Trip Day'. I do agree that another Senior Warrior for the project is a good thought, but give me a bit of time to consider who should or shouldn't. It's not just finding someone with an eye for art, but someone with the necessary... hudspa to be able to tell people things are unacceptable. Give me time to consider and think and talk to a couple of people, and things will get done. But I WILL handle stuff in the next few days. Vacation has uneaten me, and snow fell today, so it looks like Foamfighting practices are a thing of fall, now that Winter's decided to rear it's white, fluffy head. Really, though... The project needs a smoother way to handle additions... Talk page is just strait up cluttery and inefficient... Maybe I'll deal with that before a senior warrior, seeing as I acctually have a PLAN for that angle... 97.86.44.184 02:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Creating
How do you create art for these? Do you print, cut out, and color/paint? I'm stuck.ZZ Top 19:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You save the image, and color it in a computer graphics program. Then you submit it to the project for consideration. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Jaypaw - For Approval
Ah, I just wanted to draw Jaypaw for the site. I'm assuming it won't be accepted, though, as it's not on a base? If it is accepted, though, I'd be more than happy to do more of these custom pictures. I love drawing the Warrior cats. C: But, even if it's not accepted, I had fun drawing it!! --Hazelflower 23:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

If you assume it won't be accepted, why did you add it to the page? -- swifty {ASTRX} 00:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Because there's always that small inkling of hope. :D --Hazelflower 00:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Since it is not done in a base, it will not be accepted. -- swifty {ASTRX} 00:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm fairly certain that you're right and this won't be accepted, but this is a very cool drawing! Why don't you try taking one of the bases and coloring that to make a character? --Sandstar12 12:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
