Nice^^ Maybe define the white parts a tad, since they look a bit gray on my screen

Re-uploaded This is as much as I can define the white parts without them looking neon. 17:34, 10/29/2016

"without them looking neon"??? they can't look neon... they're white. I still can't tell what's white and what's pale gray/gray/ect, though. Even if it is your source that's making them dark, saying they'd look neon seems kind of offensive to people who have pure white.

I honestly don't see how that would be offensive? It's not that it would look neon, it's that it would be too bright from my lightsource. I use this source on all of my StarClan kits. The white parts are the ear, part of the face, chest, paws, elbows, and tail/under the tail. They look pretty white to me. Everywhere else is gray and brown. 23:49, 10/30/2016

I think the white is fine. Anyway, is it me or does she kind of looks like she has a lazy eye? - Jose1106 (talk) 00:07, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Maybe just show the white more on the face and front paw? Jayie Just yo u wait~ 21:35, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Re-uploaded Sorry for lack of uploads. Almost forgot I was working on her. Also, I don't see the lazy eye, Jose? And this is as much as I want to brighten the white. It looks gray because of the texture on it. 02:37, 11/03/2016

Her left eye looks lazy, unless I'm seeing things. - Jose1106 (talk) 13:46, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

There is light on the chest. I'd rather not touch the shading there, or it will look off and I'll be told to define it. 03:37, 11/04/2016

Define the tail shading, and I agree with Scarlet; you wouldn't be told to define it, since that's what we're asking you to do.

Reuploaded 18:29, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

add shading depth (on the head, tail, body especially).

I think the light on the legs still needs to be defined more. Add the light on the very fronts of the legs. Also on the tail some. 01:35, 10/31/2016

The texture looks kind of like stripes more than texture, if that makes sense. Thin out the lines and/or smooth them more. It should also follow the form of the body more and if at all possible, the light source. Some people feel that adding deeper texture to shaded areas will make it too dark, though. Just a suggestion on how to make it more obvious that it is indeed texture. If you need any clarification, let me know. Sometimes what I type out can seem vague and scrambled, seeing as it is during breaks between my daily life and I kind of just fire it out as I come up with it. 23:02 Mon Oct 31

Quailkit (Ki) - For Evaluation
This was my first time trying a charart, I hope its alright. ill try to fix the things but anyone can tweak if they like! Winterpaw I'm unleashed...Run.

So, I changed the title to headings. It should also say "Quailkit (Ki) ~ For Evaulation~. And smudge the white on the belly a little more.-- 00:04, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

Definte the shading on the belly, and the fur a bit. And the ear pink doesn't show that much. 00:05, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

And also, take the alignments off too. Like, the "thumb" and "left" in the image. -- 00:06, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

I switched the heading to '~ For Evaluation' since it's supposed to be that way for a first image until a lead changes it. I also think the white shouldn't be as big, since it's only supposed to be on the belly, and not the chest area

Define shading. Are you using Gaussian blur? --  21:31, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

add shading on the legs, head, and add more depth to the eyes. you can refer to the tutorials for more help.

Reuploaded. Winterpaw I'm unleased...Run. 02:09, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

The senior warriors are inactive right now, please be patient. With the skills you have, I'm sure you'll be promoted in no time, and onto the critique: 1. Firstly, define your light source. Have a specific direction of light hitting the image in mind while shading the image: thats how we perceive shading in the first place. 2. Try to make the shading more visible to the audience. right now you can hardly see it in the way that it would define the shape and build of a cat. 3. The white chest looks unnaturally slapped onto the image, give it a blur/smudge depending on your preference.

Since you're being pushy about becoming an apprentice, I'm making this stay at "for evaluation". You do not decide when you are ready to become an apprentice, the leads do. I don't know who told you that anyone can do it, but they are very misinformed.

Ok, I'll try to fox up the shading, and I think the light is coming from the right, hitting the back. And hmm, the white, I'll try smudging it, but when I tried it it loved very pixelated and wrong, but maybe I can fix that.

Sorry for being pushy, I was impatient. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I know that was annoying. For the information, I just read on the guidelines that once you complete an image 50% you can become an apprentice, but idk. Sorry again! Winterpaw I'm unleased...Run. 19:01, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

The leads decide when an image is halfway complete, not you. You may think it is, but there are leads, just as there are in the warriors world. That's why we have senior warriors, a deputy, and a leader. 20:12, 10/31/2016

Define the eye depth (add more darker and lighter colors) and the earpink a bit. And apologies if this counts as repeating a comment, but there appears to be absolutely no shading on the white. At all. If there is, it needs to be defined a lot. <span style="">22:57 Mon Oct 31

'''Reupload - thanks for all the suggestions guys, I hope its getting better. once again, sorry Snowed for how I acted. I hope this pic looks better now!'   Winterpaw I'm unleased...Run''. 00:04, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

Define light source^^ Right now, it just seems that there's a ring of extra color touching the lineart, but the shading should only be where light doesn't hit.

What do you mean? Could you explain more? :D   Winterpaw I'm unleased...Run. 22:13, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

It looks better than the last time :). I see your light source much more clearly than before. However, a couple of more things to consider:

1. The shading doesn't seem to cover the parts where it's supposed to cover, aka its "leaking" away from the linear art as people here call it. By this i mean that there are random lighter patches I see visible in the shading. To fix this, just simply go to the layer and give the edge of the linear art a trace where the shading is drawn.

2. Try to darken the shading to make it more visible. It's kind of eye straining to see it. Also, when you do that, it might look a little hard edged, so give it a little blur.

3. Try and get the shading to look more defined. By this I mean that the shading should form visible shapes rather than be blurred all over the image. For reference, take a look at the shadows casted around you right now to see what I mean when shading is a defined shape.

4. Try using a low opacity eraser tool to erase the edge of the white underbelly slightly, as right now it seems to be leaking.

'''Reupload - thanks guys, especially fox girl, that was great advice. hope its better now!'   Winterpaw I'm unleased...Run''. 23:17, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

I still really can't see the shading, and can only tell that there's a slight difference between it and the base. Would you perhaps darken/define it some?

Define the shading a bit on the haunches? Looks good man 19:14, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

Give the shading more shape; it doesn't really have that right now and looks like it's also leaking away from the lineart almost everywhere.

Re-Upps, thanks Man —  Minkclaw   01:21, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Do you use Gaussian blur? I highly recommend never using that. It's better to blur it with the blur tool itself that the Gaussian blur, because it can make the shading leak away from the lineart a lot, in which case it is doing so here. The blob in the middle of the image, specifically. Could you perhaps fix that up a little? The shading is leaking onto the back leg's knee, which shouldn't have shading on it. Also the tail-tip shouldn't have any shading on it, and that is leaking onto the front leg. And maybe get rid of the shading on the back leg right under the tail too, as that wouldn't be in shading either. <span style="">03:34, 11/03/2016

Re-Upps, well I had to cope with the stuff I could use on Pixlr as my current program was somehow messing up. The shading on the leg by the tail, the back one, was supposed to be there.—  Minkclaw   11:34, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't see any difference? <span style="">13:55, 11/03/2016

I removed the shading from the tail tip and paw as well as the hind leg. I see it. —  Minkclaw   14:03, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

There's still shading on the tail-tip that needs to be removed, and I can still see shading on the hing leg. <span style="">14:47, 11/03/2016

The hind leg is supposed to be there as it would be hidden in shadow by her tail and body. I 'll remove the tail shading later. —  Minkclaw   15:29, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

No, not the hind leg leg, I meant the bend in the knee by the blob on the middle. <span style="">15:31, 11/03/2016

Hm..the elbow looking thing, I'll remove that —  Minkclaw   15:34, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

Re-Upps —  Minkclaw   22:37, November 6, 2016 (UTC)

Expand the shading - it looks more like a stripe atm, imo. <span style="">09:48, 11/07/2016

can I get second on that as it does not, there are several other elders with this light and shading source. —  Minkclaw   15:09, November 7, 2016 (UTC)

Shading is leaking a tiny bit on the belly.

I'd think expanding the shading slightly wouldn't hurt, just so it could be a bit more of a gradient. That might help add some shading depth to the image, which I think it needs

Xavia, there is no stomach shading, thats behind the elbow..—  Minkclaw   15:02, November 9, 2016 (UTC)

I'm trying another one :3 --Cheetahfur (talk) 15:18, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

define shading, this is pretty good —  Minkclaw   16:19, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

For the white placement, there would be a tiny bit less white on the tail, and also, the white doesn't go all the way up the face on the other images. It seems to cut off between the eyes in a triangle instead of completely up

Is that texture, or just a shading style..? Because her queen, the first in the set, doesn't have texture.

Reuploaded I did play around with the shading a bit, but it was hard to keep it similar to the other ones because they are all really black (also thanks :). Fixed the head and tail white patches. And yes, it's both texture and shading style. I lessened it up a bit and tried a smoother lighter gray. --Cheetahfur (talk) 14:44, November 4, 2016 (UTC)

Well, this image can't have texture, so if you added both, you'll have to remove the texture itself, as none of the other images have it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "overlayering" the tail, could you explain that more? And I think the lighter chest matches the apprentice well (the lighter fur is harder to see on that one because of how the shading is placed), but I dunno.

She looks more cream than white.. was that intentional?

Re-uploaded It was partially intentional but I also forgot to drop the opacity on the texture... 18:04, November 8, 2016 (UTC)

You mind defining the shading on the collar? I like the tint tbh.

Thin out the shading a tad and it seems to be leaking near the neck. 03:28, November 10, 2016 (UTC)

wip. I tried to match the other one's texture but I don't know if it matches.

Define the shading. 03:28, November 10, 2016 (UTC)
