Prey-Hunter Blanks - For approval
(M) - Alright! I've drawn cats for awhile now, so I thought I'd put it to good use!


 * Double lineart? Cheak.


 * About the right size? Cheak.

All it needs is a transparent bckground. Could somebody do that for me please? I know how to do it, but I've had some troubles and I don't want to risk anything! Thanks! Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)



OMG, ur so good! =] This are real good. Lets see what everyone else says- but wait, some pplz made leaders with the warrior blanks... Lavastream, SunsetClan's Medicine Cat! 20:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I've done the transparency for you and had no problems with pixlr... don't know what that was about. As for the images. I like the position you've chosen and overall they are very good. There are a few things though. Firstly their backs are quite bumpy... Secondly, their heads are quite small and could be a bit bigger. I also think the fur on the belly of the longhaired looks strange and needs to be a bit... neater (that sounds so stupid). We also nede to think about how easy they'll be to colour. Sandy Talk! 20:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Thanies! I think the people who made leaders with warrior blanks understood that leader blanks would be made one day. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you mean that they coloured Bluestar in a warrior blank for example. If so then the reason for that is that we are eventually hoping to get images of all ranks every cat has ever upheld. They will all be added to a character's page together. Sandy Talk! 20:20, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I'll fix these some more tomorrow... but for now, the fur and backs have been fixed on the male and female longhaired. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

There is gray on the picture? Lavastream, SunsetClan's Medicine Cat! 01:51, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

That's the transparent background Mistfur Sandy Talk! 13:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

'''(M) - Note: I will be gone for the next week or so. Please do not delete these images. I am planning to work on them as soon as I am done with camp. Thank you.''' Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I got rid of the grey and decreased the pointyness of the chin, but it's not showing up for me. I'm going to work on these some more tomorrow. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I fixed the grey on the images (It wasn't the transparent background that Mistfur was talking about), decreased the pointedness of the chin, and fixed the backs on the other balnks. Is there a trick to increasing the size of the head? Thankies! Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I was thinking... I don't know how bad you'd think this idea but I really like these and especially as prey-hunter blanks because it looks like they're leaping on prey as the mountain cats leap... dunno. Just a thought.  Sandy Talk! 17:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I love that idea Sandy! Should I put some kind of prey underneath their paws or just leave it? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) I edited the images slightly, but I can't upload do to my computer freezing, so I'll upload them later. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm worried how easy will the prey-hunters color, I think you should use an example like what Bramble did with the queen blanks, so when we are going to approve the prey-hunters we can approve the example.--Yai-Girl 02:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl


 * I got bored and decided to do an example for you. I didn't have any cat in mind when I did it but I guess it could be Brook.



I really like the shorthaired and they're not actually that hard to use at all but the long-haired's fur is still bothering me. It's kind of... spikey... Also, the hind legs on them all need to be a little longer I think and on the longhaired there is a strange indent on the front leg.  Sandy Talk! 12:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Now that I can upload again (I have no clue what that was about) I fixed some pixels and the indent on the paw. I'm going to work on the longhairs and fix the legs.

Also, thank you for coloring that image! It looks nice. :3 Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Fixed the fur on the longhaired. I didn't fix the haunch because it looked really strange when I did.

The main thing that's bothering me is that these blanks seem smaller than the other blanks, yet when I try to increase the sixe it blurs it. Any suggestions? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I know... I don't know what to say as they blurred for me too.. there must be a way though  Sandy Talk! 19:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * To me, they look small, so make the head bigger and scale the blank. (You can do that in paint or photoshop, whatever program you choose. --Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 22:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The head is kind of egg shaped, it needs a stop. Also, could you make them a little bigger?-- Darkhallows Lair 17:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - My computer's being worked on (I'm using my parent's laptop), so I can't work on these for the next 2 to 3 days. Please do not delete these. I'll work on them as soon as the computer's fixed. Thank you! Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Wow, the computer was fixed way sooner than I thought... Well, I increased the size of the long female blanks. I really don't know if they're any good, so let me know if this looks okay, and then I'll make the other ones this size. :) Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Well, nobody's commented yet, so I increased the size of the other blanks, and took away the background transparency (There was some discussion about this on the queen blanks). Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Reedshine- For Approval
I tried, and I'm pretty sure I got her fur color right on. Yay for Reedshine! <3 - Sandiwolf

It looks very, well, I can't really say. Oh, It looks like you went nuts with the sharpen tool.Minnowclaw 16:16, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I love the colour but Minnow is right; more blur tool neeeded all over! Alao, the ear pink needs to be, well, pink (but not too bright and make sure it's blended) Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, she needs a puil and highlight in her eye. Take a look at the way some other approved warriors' eyes have been done for guidance. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I blended the shading more, and added a much needed highlight and shade on the shoulder. I made the ear pink more distinct and added the pupil and highlight to the eye. Anything else?--Sandiwolf 19:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

It actually looked like you painted it! And did you use MS paint? Summer is here  !!!!!!!!!!  19:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I use MS Paint to make blanks (Which I won't be doing anymore). I use Gimp to color, because it's a lot more efficient for shading. --Sandiwolf 19:56, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Very vacker (I'm sorry, I have Swedish class and must practice; means beautiful). But that highlight that stretches out into the torso from the chest needs to be blended or taken out. -- Bramble My Realm 23:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, and blended ;D --Sandiwolf 13:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

The ear looks darker around the edges. Maybe you could make it one color, then blend. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 15:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but, it still looks to sharp, and un-lifelike. Needs a lot more blending.Minnowclaw 15:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

It looks like it out-lined in a lighter color, almost highlighted, and the shading is hard to see. The pelt looks like a mix of different colors with the shading and highlighting instead of natural. Try putting the shading on first and then the highlights, instead of the lighter color on the edge. ;]--<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#65909A">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#B0E0E6">Warrior's Den 16:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to take them in mind and fix the issues. --Sandiwolf 15:09, 27 June 2009 (UTC) Okay, how is it now? --Sandiwolf 15:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Better. You need to put some shading on the curve of the hindleg and the chest. Also there is some smudgy greyness on the muzzle... <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 17:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. --Sandiwolf 18:11, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

She's purty... @.@ -- MU MB LE 785  16:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I really like this, Sandiwolf. But the eye bugs me... it looks almost like an extremely lime green. Can you make it a touch more dark? And also, make the whole eye green, then make the top middle pixel a black pupil, then beside it add a white highlight. If that makes sense. -- Bramble My Realm 17:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Fixed it, I think. xD --Sandiwolf 22:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I like it. I've turned it transparent for you as well. Comments before approval? -- Bramble My Realm 04:34, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

The eye looks like it is a pixel more than it should be(at the bottom). I don't know im right though. Sand wich  989  01:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

To-be Blanks- For Approval


These were going to be for Deputy, but I saw that Deputy blanks were already made, and New Warrior Blanks were Desired. How about these ones? Male and Female Shorthairs and Longhairs. (Wow, I'm just spitting out artwork lately o3o. I have too much time on my hands) -<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;green; background:black; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:lightgreen;"> Sandiwolf

They're good, but to small, make them a little bit bigger. Also, I think the nose might be too long, make it the littlest bit shorter.Minnowclaw 16:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Oh afterthought, the lines on the tail of the long hair looks like they've been cut. Also, It was just thought that we needed more girlish cats for the warriors, these are way different and we would have to redo all of the other blanks when we could just do a little fix. Maybe you can work on that? (Don't get me wrong, these are great.)Minnowclaw 17:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I'm glad you like them, and as a note: MS Paint + Bigger = pixelated fail. Dx. But anywho, under Desirable Blanks, it stated specifically this:

DESIRABLE BASES * Warrior o More feminine looking Female Longhair Base o More masculine looking Male Longhair Base So I assumed that a new female and male blank were needed. D= --Sandiwolf 19:31, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes that is true, but we have many warrior pictures already approved. It would take a very long time to redo them with the new blanks unless they had been a quick fix. Put your work to the test. These bases are really great and can be used in other parts maybe. Also, I'm only a warrior in the project. So if a senior warrior or Bramble thinks we can use these, well, I don't have the power to say anything against it.Minnowclaw 20:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

They look a little to... cute to be warriors. Maybe Tribe To-be's? They look young. But I really love them and they should be used as something.--<span style="color: darkblue; background:#gold; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 3em; color:darkblue;"> Darkhallows Lair 21:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Could we use them as apprentice blanks? Please don't ban me for saying this, as I'm not bashing the apprentice blanks but just criticizing them, but I never really liked them that much. Don't get me wrong, they're good, but they look like they needed more work before they were approved. But I really really really like these! I definitely want to use them as something! --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;#00B8E6; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:3em; color:#00B8E6;">Goldencloud 21:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The heads look cartoony, and I think we don't need a completely new base, just modify the old one. Because then, what about the other accepted cats made with the old ones? Plus, they look like wolves. I think tribe-to-be's would be the best use for these. --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:Silver; background:#6699FF; border:3px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Silver;">Mallinois Cinder-Wolf 22:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't show up sooner, i had marching band camp. Welcome to PCA, Sandiwolf. :) These look great, though I agree with Mallinois and Darkhallows they'd be better used as tribe to-be's. About 3/4's of our approved images are warriors, and it would take too long to redo all of them. Now, on the images, the she-cats need whiskers (in kittykat world, the females have whiskers :) And the lineart needs to be thickened to go with our other blanks. Also, the hind legs on all of them is bent at a right angle, make it a bit more natural. That's about it for now. Great job! -- Bramble My Realm 23:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I reckon they could be something from the Tribe. Cave Guard, Prey Hunter, or To-Be. -<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 06:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree in that we shouldn't really change the warrior blanks as we'll have to start the whole project basically from scratch... I like these for to-bes though! Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 08:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Again the lineart needs to be thicker in keeping with all the current blanks. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 13:35, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the legs and thickened the lineart. --Sandiwolf 13:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Are they prey-hunter to-bes or cave guard to-bes? Also, you need to thicken the line art on the short hairs and all around to blank. Minnowclaw 01:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

To me I think they should be prey-hunter to-bes becuse that they look swifter. (The long-haired she-cat still has no wiskers.)--Yai-Girl 21:21, 25 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

I'm with Yai-girl. These should be To-Be Preyhunters. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 04:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Prey Hunter To-bes sound fine to me. When I can, I'll thicken the missed areas of the lineart and add those whiskers!(I keep forgetting!) --Sandiwolf 15:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Make sure all the muzzels are the same.Minnowclaw 16:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

The long-haired she-cat still doesn't have wiskers.--Yai-Girl 03:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but what are those weird dots on the long haired male and females necks? It's more noticeable on the female then on the male. --: LST DragonClan's Camp 04:03, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

It's fur along the neck(or on the side of the face). Also, pardon how long it's taking me to edit these. Getting a consistent look on ALL four of them is a time taxing feat. I keep messing it up, and I'm starting to lose patience for these x3. If anyone wants to help out, ti would be appreciated. --Sandiwolf 18:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

They look awesome. -- MU MB LE 785  16:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Kittypet Blanks- For Approval
I swear this is the last thing I'll do today, so I don't flood the list. anyways, I saw that Kittypet Blanks were being CONSIDERED. So if they are ever needed, I made these. --Sandiwolf 15:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The bodies are too big for the head, make the head bigger or the body smaller. Also, the bodies look to muscular when kittypets are supposed to be softer. The tails on the long hairs' still look like they are cut. Also, on the long hairs, the collars look like they have been cut, is that fur?Minnowclaw 16:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

The ears are a very strange shape - perhaps make them thinner and slightly more pointed. Also, the longhaired tails look a bit like candyfloss - get rid of some of the small lines. Their backs are very flat and there is some discrepancy between the two longhaired versions - either make the back fluffy or not. Also, the lineart needs to be thicker to fit in with the existing blanks. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Minnow: I made the bodies a tad smaller. They're also meant to look fat, not muscular. Furthermore, yes, that is in fact fur. Sandy: I'm not used to doing thickly outlined drawings, but I did my best to edit them. I added fur to the longhair male's back, and fixed the longhair tails. The ears? I made them thinner and taller.--Sandiwolf 19:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I just looked on the reservations page and Dawnfeather has already reserved Kittypet blanks... Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 19:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Awhhh. T.T

I should really be more observant. When I'm not it results in my Depression. There goes another day of wasted work. I'll find something eventually, but for now, would you like me to take these down?--Sandiwolf 19:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Are you using MS paint? Summer is here  !!!!!!!!!!  19:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

For these, yes. My good old MS Paint and a mouse. --Sandiwolf 19:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it won't be wasted. You can talk to Dawnfeather and if she still wants to do them, get rid of the collar and they can be loners or rouges.Minnowclaw 20:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

I don't mind. Your's are much better, and I was going to take down that thing tonight unless I could get some good progress from them today. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 08:22, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Same thing with the hind legs as I said on your other pics. Make the transition more natural. -- Bramble My Realm 23:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Mine are not as good as these. I have had a lot of trouble with mine as I started them in paint... Anyways. these are more in our style and look good. Kittypets, or CaveGuards, Rogues, Loners. I think they would work whatever. -<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 06:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the back leg, and thank you Dawnfeather.--Sandiwolf 13:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I think that you should fiddle around with the chin a bit to make it a bit rounder and lower, so it will be more in the style of the other blanks. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:LightBlue; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather talk! 11:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Can do. I'll try and get to it this afternoon, but I have a birthday party to go to today, so the schedule's tight. --Sandiwolf 15:07, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

I rounded out the chin the best I could. Is that all? --Sandiwolf 18:20, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I love them, and maybe it's just me, but I image kittypets to be a little less masculine... -- MU MB LE 785  17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

They're fat. =U --Sandiwolf 22:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Patchfoot - For Approval


I've been having a heck of a time getting his patches smudged and blurred evenly. It's the one on the hind leg that seems to hate me.

I think you're misunderstanding me, Goldie. I meant to play the black out along the snout, so like there is black on the snout connecting with the larger patch on his head. If that makes sense, I did my best to explain it. -- Bramble My Realm 17:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

(M) - What I think Bramble's trying to say is take the black patch and extend it into a black tendril down to the end of the top on the snout. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

♥ Bramble and Mosswisker Is this what you meant? It looks kind of funny to me. --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;#00B8E6; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:3em; color:#00B8E6;">Goldencloud 19:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Mallowpaw for Approval
Yes! I can get on now! O.K. I made Mallowpaw of WindClan this time and I would love some pointers on the shading, eyes and markings. Tortiekitty 23:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Edited it so it's not on a thumbnail. This is pretty good for a first time, Tortiekitty. The tabby stripes need to look more like stripes and be a bit more distinct, because these look like little dark wisps of color. Look at some of the other approved tabbies for reference. He also needs to be slightly lighter, as he looks sort of reddish brown. Shrink the ear pink a little so it's not overlapping the ear, and restore the tail to it's original length (I know why you did it, it said he had a short tail on his article and big blue eyes. I've looked, there's nothing about that in the books. It was an edit from an unregistered user that seems to have nothing better to do than add false details into descriptions. I've found almost 20 more like it.) Anyways, great job on Mallowpaw! -- Bramble My Realm 00:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Great job! Just fix what Bramble said to fix and it would like really nice. Summer is here  !!!!!!!!!!  01:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not the worst image ever. :) Make the ginger patches a bit more spread out, and since she's tortie maybe add in some ginger specks on the black to make it look more broken up, and not like she's just black with white and ginger patches.

Fallowkit - For Approval


Don't laugh! I've never done a kit before. At first I shaded it with the light coming from the camera (Exhibit B) But I thought it looked kind of...blah...so I changed the light so it came from the left (Exhibit A). Personally, I like Exhibit A better, but I wasn't sure. Which one do you like more? Also on Exhibit A I'd like to add more highlight, but I wasn't sure where to put them. Help? --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;#00B8E6; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:3em; color:#00B8E6;">Goldencloud 17:55, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I actually personally think exhibit B looks better, what does everyone else think? Maybe though, you could move the pupil to the middle of the eye, so it doesn't look like they're staring slantedly. -- Bramble My Realm 23:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I also like Exhibit B best (although they're both really nice). It looks more open and bright. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 08:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with you Sandy. Personally, i think that B looks closed and cramped while A looks open and really nice.

I dunno... exhibit B is more in the style of the approved kits we already ahve whilst A looks like he's half in shadow - hiding under a rock or something...

Here's my first Tortoiseshell. I know it needs major improvements but I want your guys' opinion. Summer is here  !!!!!!!!!!  21:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

That's so cool Sandwich! I think she looks pretty good, I just think that she needs some color on her face, if you know what I mean. I also need some help creating a charcat, everytime I try, it won't do the right color! It ends up black or white or gray.

She's pretty nice, and there's certainly plenty of shading that I can see. I would suggest splitting that big black patch that comes down from her ear with orange, because that looks better in my mind. We'll see what it looks like after that. -- Bramble My Realm 23:18, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The only thing that jumps out at me is that tortoiseshells have more black on them than any other color most of the time. Your picture looks like it has more white on it than anything. Try making the head black, and we'll see how that looks. Looks great! --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;#00B8E6; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:3em; color:#00B8E6;">Goldencloud 00:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The black is too black; it blends right in with the lineart. Try making it like a light black color, like with a Breezepelt or Blackclaw color. -- Bramble My Realm 21:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Extend the back shading down towards his bum and the chest shading towards his forepaws. Then add a little shading on his head and push the belly shading in a bit so it's following the line of the lineart.

Well, first of all, I changed the section to Talltail, since that was his warrior name, and as we'll be seeing him in Bluestar's Prophecy as a warrior it will work. Now, the black patches on him need to a color-slightly-lighter-than-black, because then it just goes with the lineart. Lighten the black, and then we'll go from there. Also, if you're still using Paint, I would highly recommend getting GIMP or using pixlr. -- Bramble My Realm 17:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Bramble's right. For some idea of what an approved black and white cat should look like take a look at Crowfrost, smallkit or toadkit (approved images).

Looking for Opinions...
I was thinking earlier about the blanks we have already and the blanks we still need. I have a few things that I'm not sure about and I think we need to make a decision on it so these blanks can be made:


 * 1) Do we need seperate prey-hunter-to-be blanks and cave-guard-to-be blanks? As far as I can see there are only four or five to-bes actually mentioned by name. About half of these are each. That means that one blank would potentially be used a maximum of three times. It would make more sense to have one blank for all to-bes regardless of what they hope to grow up to be. (Things can change anyway and they may not end up as a prey-hunter even if they're training to be one etc)
 * 2) Would Scourge, Bone and the other BloodClan cats be considered rogues? loners? Clan cats? Personally I think rogues as they don't obey Clan rules. (In the Sasha manga the rogue, Pine tells Sasha that 'rogue' is the Clan cat name for cats that don't obey the Warrior Code...)
 * 3) Are Daisy, Smoky and Floss kittypets or loners? (obviously Daisy becomes a queen, but what are they to start with?) Personally I think kittypets as they take twoleg food, but I was wondering.
 * 4) Should all elders use the same blanks regardless of being Clan, rogue, loner, kittypet, ancient or tribe? I think they should as there aren't that many elders at all and all elderly cats have the same role essentially regardless of where they live. They are respected and cared for. If all kits are kits then all elders are elders... Opinions?
 * 5) Are we going to have Sharpclaw and Sharpclaw-in-training blanks for the ancients? or just use the warrior and apprentice blanks?
 * 6) Are we going to have seperate queen blanks for the ancients or use the same ones?
 * 7) How about kit-mothers? Do they (all three of them lol) need a seperate blank?

I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm trying to get some things straight in my own mind... lol Sorry. Some opinions would be welcomed.<span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 18:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh boy, here we go. lol If people want me to elaborate on a certain opinion, just ask.


 * 1) I agree that we should have the to-bes just have one blank, regardless of what their rank is going to be when they complete their training.
 * 2) They'd be considered rogues, I believe. They don't live by the warrior code, and they bother other cats.
 * 3) I would think they'd be loners, since they live outside in the barn and sometimes catch mice when they're not taking Twoleg food. Barley and Ravenpaw have food set out for them, too, I think they just don't eat it.
 * 4) The elders should be elders. It'd be a waste of time making Tribe elders, and kittypet elders, because yeah, they're basically all the same thing.
 * 5) I think we should have separate blanks for them, mainly because the lived so long ago and did things differently, and they also had really different names and such.
 * 6) Same. Same role, same name. Again, waste of time to do that.
 * 7) I don't know. We'll have to hear other opinions on that.

Alright, what does everyone else think? -- Bramble My Realm 19:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm new, but I guess I'll voice my opinions. 3. I don't know. 5. I can't really say, I'm not far enough in the series. 7. No. 1,2,4,and 6, I agree with Bramble. Boltstar 20:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, no one else really seems to have a problem with any of these, Sandy. Is there anything else you want to elaborate on? -- Bramble My Realm 21:24, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Nope! lol I just wanted opinions! So seeing as everyone has had the opportunity to contribute I guess it's agreed that we're having one set of to-be blanks, BloodClan are rogues, the HorsePlace cats are loners, elders are elders, ancients need seperate blanks, queens are all just queens and kit-mothers need more discussion. Okay, lol I'm fine :) Sorry for springing all this on you all but I was making my list and needed some clarification!

(M) - This is a much better pose for a leader than mine was. However, this should be smaller, and of course we need the other blanks (Long female, Long male, Short female) Also, I would suggest taking out that line in between the eyes and make two diagonal lines from the corners of the eyes going down to the nose. That should give it a more natural look. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 17:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I personally like the first one better, but please post your opinions. -- Bramble My Realm 21:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to see the new one tested before I give my opinion. Where did the new one come from? Did you make it? Boltstar 21:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I like the new one, but the ears are super huge compared to the head. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I will definitely shrink the ears. And Bolt, this was the old version of Melonlemon's leader blank before the first one. I was going to do a char out of it, and saved it to my cp, but then she completely changed them. I always did like her first version better, though. So no, this is still Melonlemon's. And I can give you a test version. -- Bramble My Realm 21:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Oh, and I'd almost just take the head of the old one and put it on the new. The old one's expression looks so wise. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 21:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I liked your idea so much Moss that I used it. I took the eyes and the ears off the old one and put them on the new. And I also did Thunderstar for a test run. Changed the blank at the top and shrunk the two different blanks because they were taking up room. I realize the lineart does need to be thickened, but I'd like to deal with any tweakings that are needed with the structure first. Constructments? (you've started a fad, Sandy xD) -- Bramble My Realm 04:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I like the left one better. Good Thunderstar by the way. I would have never noticed that the eyes and ears were taken off of the one on the right if you didn't say it. The right (from our point of view) side of the mouth starts to turn into a smile, but the left doesn't, it looks kind of awkward. Boltstar 04:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

That line that comes down by the neck/shoulder which shows where the shoulder is is too far to (our) left. It needs to be back where that little thingy in the back is, a few pixels away.

I tried what I think you meant, Dawn, but it looked horribly unnatural. I can try taking that line away altogether. I also uploaded all of the blanks, longhaired female and male and then the shorthaired female. You can view them at the top. -- Bramble My Realm 17:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Ohh, these look great. :D However, they seem kind of big... could you shrink them a bit? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 18:55, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I added another Windstar with an edited blank. It makes the shoulder look less awkard. It works better with colouring and shading the old one.

I don't like that as much, it looks unnatural to me. However, I did try and compensate, and moved the leg line up a little, so it looks a bit like yours but that I think looks more natural. Is this alright? -- Bramble My Realm 01:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Put in Shadowstar, and took out Thunderstar. I've always liked creatures of the night better anyway. Tried your eye technique, Dawn. Did I do it justice? -- Bramble My Realm 02:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Her profile says she has dense fur, so I think she would be considered longhaired. Boltstar 02:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll redo her if I put her up for approval. Is there anything on the blanks you would like changed, Bolt? Oh, and Mosswhisker, when I tried to shrink them, they blurred. I'll see if I can find a way around that. -- Bramble My Realm 02:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I uploaded it as a .png, but in my post, the lowercase just said Raggedpelt.png in red. When I changed it to uppercase, it showed up. Edit: Or at least, that's what it said when I saved it to my computer. Edit: Now it's ready. Boltstar 00:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Alright. I like his color. It's a very pretty brown. But your tabby stripes need to stretch out more into the main pelt area, and be darker, I can barely see them. Make them slightly thicker as well; if you need help look at some of our approved tabby warriors for reference. Make the ear pink more like a hot pink color, and make sure to add shading on his back, chest, hind leg curve, forelegs, forehead, and tail. This is a great first start, though. Looking forward to seeing some of your other work! :) -- Bramble My Realm 01:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but blend as in blur. The ear pink stands out sharply, we need a more soft transition. And hot pink as in like this color:. -- Bramble My Realm 21:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

And the tail? Boltstar 01:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

For the tail I'd suggest a thin line of shading on the underside, fading out about 3/4 of the way up. That's what I normally do. <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 11:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean by 'lone'? It's his ear rip. Boltstar 05:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I think Dawnfeather means "line". It looks a bit unnatural. Try to use a V shape like Tigerclaw's pic or make it jaggedy(xD). I hope I'm not confusing you any.... By blending they mean using the smudge(pixlr) or blur(GIMP) to belnd the shading into the pelt so it looks realistic. I can't really see any shading, so maybe increase it some and blend. =)--<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#65909A">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#B0E0E6">Warrior's Den 15:43, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know you needed to blend the shadeing. I'll see what I can do. (And why is jagged funny here?) Boltstar 17:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I think that was because she didn't say jagged she said jaggedy. :) Now, try making the tabby stripes a touch darker, slightly more thick, and add some more on the tail and foreleg. You don't have to use the 'y' shape for all of them as well, you can just use lines, as long as they're not perfectly straight. Also add a marking like this ~ except turn it about 30 degrees to the right and put it about a pixel away from the eye. You can look at Runningwind for ref if you need help. -- Bramble My Realm 17:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I'll do that. Boltstar 17:37, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

How do I make the rip transparent? Boltstar 22:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Use the eraser tool. Or at least that's what I do. -- Bramble My Realm 02:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone have anymore ear rip suggestions? I've lost count of how many times I've tried and they all don't look right. Boltstar 04:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

You could take a quick look at Tornear's pixel - I had to do an ear rip there. I can't exactly remember how I did it but I just took a few pixels out of the lineart and then created a 'v' by drawing in the outline... <span style="color:DarkBlue;background:LightBlue;border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:DarkBlue;"> Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 08:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Well first undo all the blurring you did. Second add a pupil to the eye. Third add shading and blend it in. Sand wich  989  08:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the colour needs to be lighter. I know she's black but we need to be able to see the lineart a little. It also makes it easier to add shading if the colour's slightly lighter than pure black.

On the contrary, this is very good. :) Just needs a few things tweaked. The ear pink color looks nice, I think, but make it more triangular so it fits better with the ear. I think the ears also got reverted to their thin lineart, when it needs to be slightly thickened. Her eyes look a whole lot better, though. Also add some shading on the corner of her foreleg, where it starts going up, and make sure you blend the shading as well. -- Bramble My Realm 17:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

LOOK HERE
I've about had it with the problems we've been having with the user reservations and the whole thing as it is. I liked the certain aspects of it, but it's not working the way it is. I want to slightly reform it to make it easier to use.


 * 1) Rename. Honestly, when we first had the idea it was to make sure two different users didn't do the same char. Not to reserve characters so you can hold them. It would be better suited as 'Current Projects'.
 * 2) There should only be two at a time. All of the writing, especially with specifying different ranks as such, clutters the whole section and makes it hard to read and find cats so you don't 'reserve' the same one. Two at a time would make them easy to find and less messy.
 * 3) You can't hold them forever. Some users have cats that have been there for almost two weeks. How long are they going to sit there, when other people might consider doing them? I think there should be only two weeks(at least) to keep one cat up. It will be deleted if that time frame expires and no work has been done on it.
 * 4) Focus on certain articles. On the Project:Characters page, there's a list of what really needs improvement. Do chars whose articles might need help, to mark them as something special, and don't do them as personal interest, please. Remember, this is all for Warriors Wikia.

I hope I haven't offended anyone with this. But I want this whole thing to work better, for the good of the Wiki. :) My senior warriors, warriors, what do you all think? I want your opinions on these before I put them into use. -- Bramble My Realm 21:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Although this whoole thing was my idea in the first place, I agree with you. It has become a mad scramble to find a cat that you can do.
 * 1) I agree. It would change the attitude, and it is a better suited name for what we want it to be.
 * 2)  I think maybe three at a time would be better, as long as you put all cats that are up on this page there as well. It could be used as a reference for what is already up on the site or made, rather than a scramble. Most of us have an imae that we are working on but can't post yet. Only having one slot for that would ensure that we would only have cats that we are working on up there, not just cats that we want to work on.
 * 3) I agree.
 * 4) Can you please explain further? Do you mean focusing on a certain group of characters or rank or something? I really don't understand what you mean here...

I agree with Dawnfeather. Boltstar 02:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Forget the last one. I just reread it and I don't even remember what I meant. :P And three should be fine. I also had another idea I forgot to put up:

Instead of putting like say Jaypaw(medicine cat apprentice) and Sandstorm(apprentice), we could just put abbreviations, such as MC for medicine cat, MCA for medicine cat apprentice, and so on and so forth. We know what we meant, and it would also save room. -- Bramble My Realm 03:41, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Like this;
 * Jayfeather(Ki)  -     kit
 * Jayfeather(WA)    -    warrior apprentice
 * Jayfeather(MCA)    -    medcat apprentice
 * Jayfeather(MC)    -    medcat
 * Firestar(KP)    -    Kittypet
 * Firestar(W)    -    warrior
 * Firestar(D)    -    deputy
 * Firestar(Le)    -    leader
 * Ferncloud(Q)    -    Queen
 * Blackstar(R)    -    Rogue
 * Ravenpaw(Lo)    -    Loner

these could be our offical abb. (abbreviations)(lol). Always put in an abbreviation, so no one gets confused. Anyway, that is my proporsition.

 * 1) Fine by me.
 * 2) I think two at a time and then ONE 'long distance' one, as in one without a proper blank.
 * 3) See above, however yes. Someone reserved Ivy and Dove as warriors AND apprentice...

I don't think that we should have a 'long distance' one as that is essentially the problem at the moment.

Okay. So the proposed changes are: A limit of three characters and only ones you're actually working on. These can be held for 2 weeks max and abbreviations will be used. Sounds good to me. (ps.

I think that we will need it written somewhere about the above abbreviations. Possibly at the top of the 'Current Projects' box.

I use the burn tool on 50% with a soft edge at different sizes and go around the edges of the image that way, to reate shading. everyone has different styles though.

This reminds me of a disscusion that I think darkhallows brought up a month or so ago. In the end, we thought about a PCA mentors system.
