Quietkit (Star) - Declined
First charart. I'm not sure if I did this right. Shypaw11 (talk) 16:48, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Alright, so this is a good job for your first time. This might be a whole wall of text, I apologize in advance.

The major thing would be to match the other image. Here, the chest is a more rounded yellow color with orange splotches. On the other image, the chest is an orangey-brown color kind of in a flash-design, so maybe if you changed the shape and either smudged/blurred (not sure which one) the colour, it would look similar. I'm not sure, but I think you're allowed to colour-pick from the other images. Next, the earpink here is a very neon purple colour, and we don't want that. On the kit image, the earpink is a more reddish colour, so even just colour picking and changing that would work. The other image has texture, which would mean taking a 1px or whatever brush and making small lines that look like fur. And then there are small things, such as the nose colour being pink, and the eyes being a darker blue. You could also define the eye depth (which means the colours in the eye go from light to dark). I hope this wasn't too harsh or long ... great job nonetheless :) 17:06, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Reuploaded Can you please explain the texture a bit more? Shypaw11 (talk) 17:49, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Texture is basically adding "fur" to the charart, or adding the effect of fur so it seems like it's not a flat image. It's not required, but since the kit image has texture, it is required for the star image. To add texture, take a 1px (usually the smallest brush size you have) and add small lines to mimic the direction of fur. This is usually done on a different layer (usually a layer above the pelt color and stripes but usually not above the shading). I usually use black or a darker hue than the pelt color for texture, but you can always lower the opacity of it later.

Also, I think the cream belly should stretch all the way to the <-- chest fluff, and down to the underside of the chest where it meets the shoulder. And darken/define your shading. ^^ You're doing a great job so far. 18:15, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Reuploaded Thanks Winterpaw and Vec! I defined the shading, added texture, and fixed the chest fur. Shypaw11 (talk) 18:47, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Smooth out the earpink some, and expand the chest to fill the spot to the <--, since it doesn't quite fill where it's supposed to be. Also, the color of it looks different than the kit, and a bit too orange. Define the shading, as well.

Reuploaded Lightened Shading Shypaw11 (talk) 23:12, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure what program you use, but to answer your previous question: When color picking another image, download it, open it in your art program, and then use the color-picking tool to grab it's color. On my program, it looks like a dropper, but on others, I'm sure there's a guide somewhere that would show which one it is. Try to pick from the lightest point, not under shading or texture, if you can. Then, you'll have that color saved to use on your image.

CBA? wonderful job! 13:13, 3/17/2017

Super sorry to break your CBA, but the shading at the top of the --> shoulder and the flank could be smoothed out a bit more, as they seem pretty sharp and there's not much depth there. Also, the shading is leaking away from the lineart on the <-- side of the belly. To match the kit image, the stripes shouldn't go so far down on the front paws, and at least a few would go all the way across on the tail. Additionally, define the facial markers on the sides of the face to match, and the ones on top should be less squiggly and more straight like the kit's.

Where did the pale chest go? It needs pale parts to match. 14:24 Fri Mar 17

Add more texture. And the texture here has much thicker lines than the other image, I think. Smudge the ear pink. 16:49, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

@Sunjaw, the pale chest in under the shading. 19:15, 3/17/2017


 * It could still be lightened though, as it looks the same as the rest of the pelt. And the shading is leaking on it. 19:23, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

The pale isn't the correct color. It needs to match the kit image. This looks like it is just the base desaturated a little bit, and on the kit it is clearly an orange-brown and not that dark and desaturated. Not trying to be rude, but it really doesn't even match. 22:29 Fri Mar 17

Crap, ignore the image brightness thing, because my phone was not bright enough fml lol 12:48, 3/19/2017

No, there really is something going on with the brightness/colors. I've looked on 3 different screens on max brightness and it looks off. A few things. The stripes look like they fade off instead of going all the way down to match the kit on the legs/tail. The chest still looks like it is just a desaturated version of the base, so either your base is off or you still haven't gotten the right color for the chest. Make sure you are color picking from the lightest areas on the kit, as it looks like you have been pulling the colors from either a shaded area or the texture. There also really should be light on the chest no matter which side the light is coming from... 15:41 Sun Mar 19

Do you have the whole image on the same layer? If so, I highly recommend against it, as it's much easier to have everything on separate layers.

Since you said earlier that you're using GIMP, I think I can help with that. Just right click > Dockable Dialogs > Layers. Then, that'll open the layers menu. From there, you can make layers by either right clicking in the window and selecting 'New Layer' (if using a Mac), or by clicking the page + symbol at the bottom of the window (if using a PC). Then, you can order your layers and change their settings from there. On another note, for the tail, I still can't see the patterning very well.

What are you doing for smoothing out the shading? I dont see any differences between any of the revisions for the tail shading. To "smooth out" shading, use the blur tool on the edge of the shading, not the shading itself. <span style="">00:57, 3/11/2017

Smooth it more please, and there's still shading leaking around the edges of the image. Define the shading on the legs minus the one hidden under the belly, define the light on the leg under the belly, the lineart is blurry by the < earpink (im assuming it's the eyebrow whisker), and there's what appears to be a white-ish color on the edge of the earpink on the forehead that shouldn't be there.

Declined due to the one month limit. You are unable to reclaim this image for 2 weeks to allow other users to work on it if they wish. Also you were being a bit rude. If someone tells you to do something you either do it or ask for a second opinion (the latter of which should only be used rarely...) and in your case, even i could not tell the difference between your uploads, as it appeared to me that your shading smoothing looked like you were using gaussian blur on the edges, which does not work for smoothing shading. Smoothing shading is used to ask for a user to make a gradient. Which was not really happening. If you need help with this, i suggest going to the apprentice tutorials. <span style="">03:19, 4/06/2017

Not to state the obvious, but there's lots of waste around the whole thingBroken_Foot

Well for GIMP, go to your lineart layer, fill the outside of the lineart in red, and then use the color select tool to select the red. Then, erase the red, then go to your shading layer and erase the waste there (make your brush super big, for it to get it all). It works on any layer, actually. Also, define the light. This really does look darker than the star, unless you picked from an area that was shaded on it.

Try just replacing the lineart layer; some parts look dark gray. Overlapping the lineart layer should fix any problems like that. Also, smooth the paler parts, because this image shouldn't have any, and it kinda looks like it does. Besides that, define the light on both front legs and round out the shading on the rump.

Reups I tried to replace the lineart but that one turned dark gray too. I know it's because of the shading but I don't know how to stop the shading from coloring the lineart. ._. --  18:39, April 2, 2017 (UTC)

The layer with your lineart should be the topmost layer, or second topmost depending on how you do your eyes and stuff. Basically, the lineart should be above the base pelt, shading, highlights, ect.

Shouldn't you continue to re-upload under the old file? This file has "DF" instead of "df", which I think it's supposed to be. 20:05, April 1, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, the "df" should be lowercase in the file name. Also, the cream/lighter mottles seem much more visible on this than on his other image, while the darker/ginger mottled seem much less visible. I think this is because the cream mottled are layered over the ginger ones here, whereas the opposite is true on the leader. 20:12, April 1, 2017 (UTC)

Define the lighter speckles on the flank a little more, for matching the leader

Not exactly sure what you mean by 'define the speckles'Broken_Foot

'Define', as it usually does in PCA, refers to making something more visible. On the leader, the lighter speckles are more visible on the flank (and tail), than they are on this. So what I meant was for you to make the speckles more visible, by therefore defining them.

The shading on the hind foot that's closest to us looks kind of weird--can you fix that? It's kind of blotchy (I dunno how to describe it)
