Mentor and Apprentice Program
I'm gonna bring something up Skye and I have been talking about. I really think that the mentor and apprentice program is unneeded and rather unnecessary. A lot of apprentices/kits (whatever they join as), don't really need a mentor, as they learn from many other different users at a time. Plus, there's been a lot of unofficial pairs now and again through the days. And it's just not as used as it used to be. So I think we should get rid of this program. But I'm not saying get rid of the apprentice tutorials, oh heck no. I mean just the apprentice-mentor program. Thoughts? 19:09, 2/28/2017

Being the head of the Apprentice Tutorials, I agree with this. The majority of members use GIMP or Photoshop (with the exception of I believe you and I using Paint Tool SAI on various occasions, and those who use online programs), which the tutorials go very in depth on. And even if they use a different program, someone ends up taking them under their wing regardless of if they are officially on the mentoring list. I will have to get some more of the in-depth controls of programs and the meanings of different techniques/terms up (Photoshop mainly for ones done myself, as GIMP is pretty heavily covered and you've covered SAI pretty well), but other than that, there's not really anything the tutorials can't cover. 19:33 Tue Feb 28

Yeah, it could probably be done away with, though we could always leave a list of mentors on the main page for people to contact for help. While there's been lots of unofficial pairings, much of that is just because the mentor page isn't updated. We should get rid of that program, as it's a hassle to update, but it would still be good to keep a list of the experienced members willing to help. It's still useful to have an easy way for new artists to get help, just not in such an official way. The tutorials alone aren't always enough for everybody, and I know that join.me lessons/other live sessions often help speed the learning process.

Oh believe me, I am aware of that, and will start asking those who have the capability to make videos for tutorials to do so, as well as livestreaming if they are able to. I plan on possibly proposing an account on a streaming service, like Twitch or Google Hangouts, for the more experienced members listed to sign on to and hold live lessons, since I've heard join.me doesn't work for a few people. That is, if we get enough of these members who are able to record and stream without slowing/crashing their computers. I would do more recorded tutorials myself, but I am having a hard time finding a free program that won't crash or stall my laptop. 22:15 Tue Feb 28

Yeah the mentor program can go or be revamped. I think it's a good idea to keep the tutorials and perhaps expand on it, keep it up to date.Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  04:11, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

I agree about keeping the tutorials, they are the biggest help and updating them would make them even better! 04:13, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

Anymore comments before it's implemented? 14:37, 3/14/2017

lol since I never actually commented because of lack of internet........ yeah, I did say just to get rid of it. The program itself, mind you. Getting rid of the tutorials would be a foolish move.... but since the mentor program really isn't as vital and important as the tutorials themselves, there's really no point in trying to maintain its upkeep when no one has the time for it.

please don't remove my pun filled tutorials I promise you can mute off the volume if you watch them Yeah the mentor program isn't really working at this point. I agree with getting rid of them and we can use some more tutorials. Can I put on godawful music if I make one? 17:04, March 19, 2017 (UTC)

Icy, we're not getting rid of any of the tutorials... all we'd be doing is closing the mentor program for PCA, that's all. The tutorials can still be used and I'd even encourage users to make more of them if they want to.

I have to say I definitely agree with ending the mentor program. As has been said, no one really has the time to maintain it, and most applications end up sitting for months. I see a lot of unofficial mentoring done anyway, and this could definitely continue; we would also still have the tutorials to help new users. 01:50, March 20, 2017 (UTC)

Course you don't need it. People are FINE on their OWN GOSH --Jewelpaw (talk) 02:42, March 21, 2017 (UTC) User has been struck out due to block and rude comments

Should we implement this then? 12:41, 3/21/2017

by the way, kind of off topic (ish) but are we still creating tutorials? I see that there are some that still need to be made.

Why wouldn't we? If you want to make some, go for it.

Join
Complicated join request but, can I join, even if I can't post art, I know how to art its just that I don't have a computer. So...yeah unless you have a suggestion for a phone Rainbowmistake (talk) 22:46, March 22, 2017 (UTC)rainbow

Sure, I've added you in as a kit. And by the way, there are users that use mobile devices like their phones or tablets to make art^^. A program some like to use is ArtStudio, so I suggest you try that if you'd like to do that. Make sure to read the guidelines as well.

Featherkit
I noticed that Featherkit (TPB) doesn't have a kit image on his page anymore, but back before we had a name for him or anything and his page was just "Dappletail's Kit", there was an image approved for him. It must have gotten deleted or moved or something sometime ago (because I can't find it under either name) but I think that it should be restored and readded to his page. 15:01, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

Moonheart01 made a StarClan Charart for Featherkit, but uploaded it under his kits image. After the image got declined, I reverted it back to his normal kit image. I didn't look to see if it had changed anything. Could that caused it? ErmineGlow (talk) 15:23, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

I think I saw it on there after it was reverted, but it was gone the next day? I'm not to sure though. 15:27, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

Well, I did restore the file "Dappletail's Kit.kit.png", but that was the one that Berry had uploaded and Atelda deleted... but that one's not it... I also may have deleted the old one due to me thinking it was just a trashed image. File:Featherkit_(TPB).kit.png should now have Stealthfire's version.

Join Request for Seventy Five Faith
Hello, I am happy to request that I may join this group. I most likely will need some help, as I am not an art master, but I will definitely try my best. Seventy Five Faith (talk) 22:25, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

Welcome! I've added you in as an apprentice, since your first image meets those requirements. Make sure to look over the guidelines.

Join as a ''kit' ?
I don't really know if i should do anything like a long list about things, but i think this is were you want to join this wiki and with my skill i should start of as a kit like they have in http://warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_Wiki:Charart. I have always read the warrior cat books since i was young child and now i'm soon a adult and i still love the books. I guess if i become a kit here i don't do so much, just edit some pages i think. But i really would love to join as a kit and help out.
