Successful Applications

Unsuccessful Applications

Process
Create a new subheading (===like this===) with your full username (linked), a dash, "Mentor Application", and the current date. Leave a short message with the date you became a warrior (if you can remember it) and the editing program you use. A lead (senior warrior, deputy, or leader) will check to make sure you meet all the requirements, and then will add you in to the table on the mainpage. Once you have been accepted, you may volunteer to become a mentor to a prospective apprentice in the Requests section.

Mountainheart - Mentor Application, Janurary 16, 2012
I hope I'm doing this right... Anyway, I have 14 chararts approved (but they are all apprentices DX) and 11 tweaked/redone images. On December 14th Wild wrote on my talk page that I was a warrior :) I use Photoshop and that's all I've used. 01:58, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Yup, you're doing it right ;) I'll add you in now! 01:59 Mon Jan 16

= Requests =

Successful Requests

Unsuccessful Requests

Process
If you wish to have a mentor to guide you in the ways of Project Charart, you may apply here to be assigned a mentor. Create a new subheading (===like this===) with your full username (linked), a dash, "Mentor Request", and the current date. Leave a short message with what you wish to learn and the editing program you use. A mentor may volunteer for you, but if they do not, a lead will assign you a mentor. Only the deputy and leader may assign mentors, and they should wait a day or two to make sure there aren't any volunteers beforehand. Once you have been assigned a mentor, a lead (senior warrior, deputy, or leader) will add you into the table on the mainpage next to your mentor.

Frogpath~ Mentor Request, December 20, 2011.
I would like to learn how to do spots, torties, basically anything that's not just one color. How to shade, and other special effects, too. I am new to being a member of wiki. I have Windows Paint and Pixlr, although I prefer Paint. - Frogpath Dec. 20, 2011

A Cat Named Cheshire - Mentor Request, December 14, 2011
I am very new to PCA, but I do have some background in digital art. I use pixlr, I have downloaded GIMP but I find it to be very confusing for me. I have been practicing my work on digital art, but sometimes my shading is too light or too dark and looks slightly awkward. Also markings are hard, but if I am new I suppose I have just bitten off more than I can chew in that subject. Filling in eyes is a tad bit hard for me, but I am practicing in that too. Obviously I need a mentor (as said in the heading) so that I can become more skilled and contribute to this project.

I'll be your mentor. ^^ 00:53, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Stoney, you've already applied for Kitty and you have Bluefeather as your apprentice. Are you withdrawing your offer on Kitty? Cause you can only have 2 apprentices at the moment. ♔ⓅⓐⓁⓔⒸⓛⒶⓦ♕  ☆StarClan be with you★  06:31, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Yes. (Stoneh) I am withdrawing. 174.6.213.251 06:49, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

I am withdrawing on Kitty, and why is this application messed up with another user? This is for Spotted. 01:02, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Whoops! This is spottedleaf. She changed her username. 01:06, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Tigerheart273 ~ Mentor Request, December 22nd, 2011
I would really like to have a mentor because I would like to help out in this project.I have made several chararts, and I am alright at plain cats. I use pixlr.com but am willing to download paint.NET if I need to. I have looked over the tutorials many times and find them very helpful, though I still need help at tortoiseshells and marbled tabbies. I will do the best I can if someone picks me for apprentice and I hope to learn something and help this wiki! Thanks!

Tigerheart273 17:47, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

What program do you use? You have to list the program to get a compatible mentor :3 18:42, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

I've seen you've added it, thanks! :D 20:16, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Fallowpounce ~Mentor Request
Hello, I would like a mentor. Like always, i have problems with tabbies, tortishell patterns, and copying patterns. My main problem is tabbies, though. I use Paint.NET and Gimp.  ~Pouncey!  "Aloha!" "You're  Hawaiian?" "No..."  x3 19:15, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Pouncey :3 I'll be your mentor if you'd like. 01:48 Mon Jan 16

Dewstar(leaf) ~Mentor Request
Hi, this is Dewstar(leaf) and I would like a mentor. I know how to make solid coloured chararts and chararts with simple line patterns (like Honeyfern), but like Fallowpounce, I have trouble making tabbies and tortoiseshells. Just so you know, I have Photoshop and I usually do chararts on there. 19:33, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

I can be your mentor =) 22:35, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

ok! Just wondering: do you have photoshop?

16:31, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yup 23:57, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

ok. Where do we talk? Here?16:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

On my talk page. 00:22, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Autunmleaf- Mentor Request
I would like to have a mentor because I am a little confused and would like to know how to make Charart. And I would love to help help other user once I know what to do of course!

I fixed the heading for you. Please sign with four tildes ( ~ ) and tell us what program you use for charart. 01:48 Mon Jan 16

= Graduating = Successful Graduations

Unsuccessful Graduations

Process
This section is only for mentors. If you believe your apprentice had learned everything they can possibly learn from you, you may ask them if they wish to graduate. If they agree, you can create a new subheading (===like this===) with your apprentice's full username (linked), a dash, "Graduation", and the current date. Leave a reason why your apprentice is graduating, and a lead will come by and approve your decision by removing your apprentice from the table on the mainpage. Once they do that, you may again volunteer your services to another apprentice.

Sandstormrocks32 - Graduation
I think she is ready to graduate. Since she started using layers, she has improved her charart making skills. Her images are really well done, even though it takes a while for them to get approved. I don't think she could be taught any more. 17:45, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Sweetflower - Graduation Jan 19, 2012
After seeing her chararts really evolve, I think she is ready. She did well on her final assesment piece and she's very good at solids and torties. While she may have difficulty doing tabbies, the project doesn't expect her to take one of if she doesn't want to. She also recently was promoted to warrior so she can tweak, and that is also proof of her skills. I don't think I can teach her anymore than she already know. Thanks for being an awesome apprentice Sweetflower! 17:20, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
