Cats of the Park Blanks ~ For Approval
They're so icky omgggg please rename them for me if I named them wrong? I'm no good at lineart

I'll fill them in and fix the longhair's leg in the next upload. ;-;

I suggest looking at the other blanks, you might pick up some good points. Maybe try drawing lines that helps show the muzzle, sorta like the cave-guard or leader. Just keep trying until it seems right. 06:13, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

Round the tips of the ears and maybe make the eyes a little bit smaller. 07:18 Fri Aug 21

IDK but the (our) left leg on the short haired blank looks a bit too thin on it's staring point? (My vocabulary omg ;;) I think you get what I mean? 08:44, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

The muzzle looks a bit small. Try enlarging it? 09:06, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

re-ups I tried... The eyes looked like aliens >.> still very icky ._.

Maybe make the edge of the eyes a /little/ sharper? 11:26, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

Could you make the lines thinner? 13:19, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

Could you enlarge the muzzle? 13:25, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

The lines don't need to be thinner, Burnt. They match the thickness on some of the blanks we have, and it's honestly fine.

Largen the eyes?  ~ Silver Cloud ~  16:25, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

I don't know, I think the lines should be thinner. Anyways can you space out the eyes a little? They look too close together. But you did an awesome job! 18:07, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

There's a couple of white pixels on the long-haired's left ear. Songheart (talk) 18:15, August 21, 2015 (UTC)Songheart

The eyes should have thicker lineart, and the eyes should be further apart and follow the curve of the face more. The chin should be more noticable as well. Nubface (talk) 18:33, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

The face is bent downwards at an angle. Right now, the eyes are facing forward with the same perception. If the muzzle where to be there, the eye on our left would have to be angled a bit differently, to make way for the shape of the muzzle. if that didn't make sense i'll try to explain it better 20:15 Fri Aug 21

Will this get declined if I'm gone for a week...? Because I'm going to my friend's house for a couple days.

No. A week without uploads on blanks is not fair. Blanks are a much different process than a normal image- I don't remember the timeframe we decided on, but if you don't upload for a week, you won't lose your blanks. I think we ended up picking two weeks...or something like that. Regardless, working on blanks is a very long process and there's no need to hold you to the same requirements as a normal image. It just wouldn't be fair, flat out.

Forgot to mention earlier, but the tail should be moved down a bit, especially on the shorthair. The tails rests on the ground and tends to curl around their front paws. Nubface (talk) 20:46, August 22, 2015 (UTC)

Shouldn't a little bit of the hindpaw be visible somewhat through the tail? 13:40, August 24, 2015 (UTC)

Do you think this lineart is a little... Too big? Not gonna be rude. --ShellaxySpaniel (talk) 05:10, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

The size is fine tbh. There are other blanks the same size/bigger. Also, if you were talking about the lineart itself, the thickness of the lines is fine as there are other blanks with the same thickness of lines. 21:01, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

I think the lineart could be just a touch smaller and the lineart just a touch thinner, but that's just me. Also, the angle of the face looks a little off - it looks like, from the position of the cat, the head is titled a bit downward, but the face seems tilted too much upward. Also, the tail is a little too high up on the shorthair, it should be even with the front paws, at least at the base, since that's where it would connect to the back. May I offer a redline to help with anatomy and such? If not, that's cool, just offering. ^^ Jayie  Unwritten words~ 21:51, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Here's a friendly nudge to not forget to upload!

I honestly think the blanks should be scaled down slightly to match the sizes of our other blanks, because as it stands right now, they are the largest. The anatomy seems to be that of a kitten? I think that the rounded paws and round face shape give this appearance, if you go with slightly more defined shapes, it should help give more of an adult cat appearance. The long furred's fur seems to be a bit spiky, do you think you could lay it flatter to the body and have it follow the direction of the body as best as you can? And it might just be me, but the perspective at which the front of the cat is versus where the butt sits seems kind of off to me and looks kind of painful for the cat's spine. Do you think you could scooch the cat's hindquaters closer to the body? I'm not an anatomy expert, and some of my advice could be wrong, and in that instance, I may be disproven and I'm fine with that, but that's personally how I would draw the blanks if I were doing them myself. I hope I helped at all. 04:04, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

re-ups Now here's a thing, I was told to enlarge them (my original ones were way smaller) and the entire cat went crooked because I tried to redraw it. Pixelizing/scaling is a little too hard for me, or I could've been doing it wrong, and in that case can someone tell me how to do it? @Ivy, I tried my best for the fur... I kinda screwed it up. When I first drew the blank I copied exactly from an actual cat photo, so I'd like to get a second opinion on the hind legs. I lowered the short-haired tail, and I moved the eyes of both blanks down and a little more separated from each other. I hope I covered everyone I could, but if I missed something please tell me!

Could you still sharpen the eyes a little? 09:37, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Did you make the fur a little less spikey? --&#123;&#123;SUBST:Nosubst&#124;User:Russettail13/Sig&#125;&#125;. (talk) 13:27, August 29, 2015 (UTC)Russet

The fur seems fine to me - its long-furred anyways, if you're talking about the long haired blank. I hate to be pushy again, but could you maybe thin out the lines again? They just seem really thick, and I know I'm being picky for a blank with only 2 characters but... yeah. 15:09, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Can you add whiskers? Also, try making the muzzle a little rounder. Look at the other charart images for help. I think adding little lines in between the eyes and nose helps too. 22:23, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

I think that their eyes and nose need to be moved so it looks like they're looking down. Like these: http://i.imgur.com/Z8NJeuj.png http://i.imgur.com/EkxBgJv.png The muzzle is pointing downwards (well it looks that way to me) so the eyes should point downwards too. — ☆ ＦＩＲＲＥＬ  ★    ❝ ❤ ❞  16:12, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

You didn't largen the eyes.

She didn't upload yet. Give her a bit. 01:40, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

I'm so sorry, but I think I'd have to withdraw these... I don't have time of them because of school, and my laptop is taken by my parents. I might have time to work on regular projects with the school computers, but blanks are a lot harder. Anyone can take these over if they want, I'll even allow them to use them directly (although I'm not even a fan of them myself). I can come back to them later, but it's probably going to be ages.

I'll take over, unless someone else wants to. 12:52, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

You currently have a blank as a voting choice for the Early Settlers, Princess. Could we leave this for someone who does not have one there and hasn't had a chance to make a blank? Storm, Winter, Burnt, Fox? Or anyone else that does not have a blank on the Early Settler vote? (we don't know who will win and tbh having two at once would not be right) Would you guys like to give it a try?

Yeah, that makes sense. Someone else should do it. 13:09, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Can I try? :D 13:21, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Gladly, if you keep the stance that Bramblesnow provided. That's what we voted on, so that's what'll stay.

Can I do two things at once? I have willow tail up right now...or does this not count as a reservation? 13:35, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

You can keep both at once- doing blanks are not the same thing as doing images. 13:37, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Reups Did I do it right? 14:05, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Beautiful <3 Maybe make the ears bigger? 14:09, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, cats ears are not that big, so I don't think so ... 14:11, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, but the paws are bugging me. maybe make them a bit more, on the ground, instead on the tip parts of the paws? 14:16, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Reups 14:25, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Separate the eyes a bit more. 18:35, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

can you make the tail a little bit fluffier? theyre supposed to be longhaird but theyre honestly barely thicker than the shorthairs. also the haunch looks oddly small, and the eyes maybe should be tilted just a tad so theyre not so totally front facing. the paws should be more on the ground too- the cats are putting their weight on them. HotTeacher69 (talk) 18:39, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Reups Honestly, the tail can be edited if the cat's tail is said to be predominantly more fluffy, like Feathertail. And I'm looking at my cat right now, comparing pictures to a shorthair cat and they're honestly not that much bigger. And the eyes aren't front facing, they're facing down already. 18:51, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Can you make the the tail on the shorthair thicker? Also, extend the mouth some more. Curve the <<<< front paw some more near the chest and curve the chest on that side more as well. Extend the haunch just a tad outwards, right now it seems to be in an awkward position in relations to the front of the body. 1:29 Tue Sep 8

I actually think the tails could be fluffier on the long-haired, but in general, just a tad bit longer. Remember, what your cat looks like is just one of many many cute and adorable kitties in existence. I also think the lineart could be a tad bit thicker to match the styles of the other blanks.

All of the blanks on this site have lines that are two pixils thick. In some places it appears to have that, but in others it looks like it has either three or one, and you want to make sure not to leave entire black areas, such as the ears. Make one white pixil in the black to break it up. Just a little tidbit of advice from someone who made a blank from scratch and occasionally does pixil work on the side. This is shaping up very nicely and you're doing great! 02:20, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Define the muzzle shape. 10:16, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

As a RiverClan cat, she needs long fur. Also, blur and lighten the shading a bit. Over all, very nice. 00:21, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

The shading is fine imo. Shading doesn't have to be super light/super blurred if the artist doesn't want it to be like that. 00:34 Tue Sep 1

reups changed to long haired blank (Ill get the waste off the tail) 03:27, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Bluestar. The shading could definitely be blurred a tad. 04:06, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I can't even see the shading. Or it just might be my screen. 04:12, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Define the shading on the head and shoulder region. Great job, Bramble! She's very pretty lol

A lil bit of waste on the tail tip~ 17:22, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Thanks! 17:52, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

do you think her whiskers need to be longer and paler? she's called squirrelwhisker after all, and we did the same thing for featherwhisker. Nubface (talk) 19:58, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Paler, no, as we didn't give Hawkheart graying whiskers when he was described with them. As for leangthening them, I'm not sure, as we don't know for sure that she was named after them. 21:18, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

did it say featherwhisker was named asfter his? if it did ill drop it, my mind is just fried rn. Nubface (talk) 22:44, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

I actually think since her name is Squirrelwhisker, it's a good idea to tweak her whiskers. It's significant enough to actually warrant a special mention- graying whiskers is a normal part of a cat's life, but I've never heard of a cat with pale whiskers like that.

The CBA will continue- I've seen cats have some pretty dang long whiskers. o.O

Sorry, but could you smudge the/add more whiskers? It looks strangely bright and standing out when it's completely hard edged and not /really/ a part of the linear art anymore. 09:23, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

I disagree, the whiskers look fine imo. They look like Featherwhisker's and Sagewhisker's, with the only difference being color because black whiskers that thin wouldn't be visibile. If someone else disagrees tho, change it, I guess. 13:21, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

The point is though, they aren't technically part of the linear art anymore since the colors switched and they look strange to be so hard edged and standing out. The colors are fine, though. 13:35, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

But it's not apart of her fur color so it still is lineart. It doesn't need to be smudged. If it was just a gray muzzle or something yeah, I'd agree, but they're whiskers and smudging them when they're that thin would make them disappear. Even blurring them would do that, because those at most are two pixels? It would look worse smudging it. It's fine. 13:50, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

Aleks is right, imho. Just because it's not black, doesn't make it not part of the lineart. Featherwhisker's are only black because I don't think we got a color for his. They don't need to be smudged, tweaked, ect.

I'm having trouble making out the earpink. Could you define it? 21:16, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

With how the ear is shaped and where my light is coming from, the whole inner ear is in shadow, and I also have tufts of fur over the pink, so I'm a little hesitant to mess with it more to bring out that color. 23:17, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

I think it should still be defined. 03:54, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

Where did this idea that earpink has to be super defined even come from? I mean it goes back to before I even joined wwiki, but it makes no sense really. On the vast majority of cats, the ear isn't even an especially different color, either due to the fur color being similar, or the amount of fur covering the ear. The earpink on this is significantly more visible than in most photos of real cats, especially ginger ones, so defining it would not be realistic at all.

Earpink should still be visible. And in this case I think it should be defined so I'm asking. However, if you think its fine even with others saying not so then okay. 22:20, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

i do agree that it could be defined a tad. 23:00 Thu Sep 3

tbh, I agree w/ Paleclaw. Earpink isn't always super visible on cats and it's not even /that/ important regarding to the image quality. the main things that should be focused on are the patterns, shading etc. As long as you can tell there's ear pink it's fine :/ 12:54, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

I've been using this kind of as my guide for coloration. Without shading, the earpink and ear area looks the same, but with my angle of light and the shape of the ear, all of my earpink/ear fur is in shadow, so it would be inconsistent if I lightened it further. 17:57, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

But I can't tell there's earpink and thats the problem. 20:02, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

im agreeing with icy. define it, it wont kill you to. HotTeacher69 (talk) 07:54, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

I can see the earpink very easily on this, at least on my computer. It's not hard to see at all. However I will say that it's nearly invisible on my phone screen, but then so is the shading on nearly every black cat on here. So it may be your guys' screen? But regardless of that, I still stand by what I said about earpink not needing to be extremely defined. I can't barely see the earpink on these either. Why should it have to be more visible than that on this image? (though it actually already is plenty more visible on my screen, just apparently not all yours)

Exactly- You can barely /see/ the ear pink on most cats, and plus I can see the earpink fine on this one. 08:21, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

i dont care about realism? i really dont, stop trying to force it. and im sticking with it being defined, and thats all im saying on this. i REALLY can barely see it. HotTeacher69 (talk) 08:22, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

Realism is not mandatory in PCA. So four of us happen to have the same color calibration issue? I think that's highly unlikely. It's not too hard to just tweak it ever so slightly. Just because it's visible on some, does not mean it's visible on all screens. I also think Leggy should tweak it, even if it's not too much. Just enough so the four of us can make it out from the pelt color.

I just suggested that it might be the monitors that were the issue, since that was the only reason I could think of that some people could see it easily and some couldn't see it at all.

I'm not saying realism is mandatory. I'm not even advising it in this topic honestly. Right now I'm indifferent on whether any other images have earpink that's super defined, or earpink that's invisible. I'm indifferent on whether leggy makes the choice to change it or leave it. I'm not asking for things to be realistic. What I am trying to do is point out that you're forcing unrealism by continually asking her to change it when it actually is realistic and she has already stated why she doesn't want to define it. It's not even that the earpink isn't aesthetically pleasing, and that's why you guys think it should be changed. It's not offensive in any way, it's simply not visible to you guys. You're enforcing a standard that has no basis whatsoever. I can't think of a single good reason why the myth that earpink has to be defined even started, nevermind why people are still trying to force it. Why should it be a requirement on any image? Right now not one good reason has been given to define the earpink that isn't simply following the myth that earpink has to be super visible on every single image even if it looks bad or is unrealistic or is offensive on the eyes. That's my problem with the situation.

I fail to understand how four different people, in different parts of the world, with different computers not being able to see the ear pink isn't a valid enough reason? We're not forcing unrealism, and in fact, the same counterargument could be said by saying it's fine- you're promoting realism- if four different people can't see it, tweaking it would not hurt. It's not that I don't find it pleasing. I actually didn't even know the image had ear pink until Leggy brought it to my attention on Skype when she asked me what she should do with the image.

I'm not sure you're quite understand what I'm trying to say here, so I'm gonna try and word it differently. You said realism isn't mandatory right? Well unrealism isn't either as far as I'm aware. Which means it's artist's choice. And the artist made her choice to make it realistic, and gave good reasoning for it.

I'm not saying tweaking it would hurt. I'm not doubting that four people are struggling to see it. I'm asking what reasoning you have for it needing to be super visible? It doesn't matter how many people can't see it if none of them have a reason for it needing to be easily seen. If it's not anything related to realism or unrealism, and it's not to do with aesthetics, and it's not to do with any official guidelines on the topic, what's your reasoning? The only one I can see so far is the need to blindly follow a myth started by a few people, probably years and years ago, without any backing. I'm asking what the reason is that four people think an artist should be denied her artistic choice on something that isn't and has never been addressed in the official rules (at least to my knowledge). If you can give a good reason, sure go ahead, but so far I haven't heard one. Four people can't see it? Alright. But why do they need to? That's a question that hasn't been answered once in this whole discussion.

I'm no enforcing realism by saying it's fine. It being "fine" isn't my point or my reason for arguing this. I'm not saying it'd be wrong if it were defined. I'm saying that unless further reasoning is given, it's artist's choice, and that isn't being respected right now.

DISCLAIMER: This comment was written with the intention of resolving this argument. I am not angry, and I tried to show it in my comment. Please calm down. Paleclaw, we're not trying to force unrealism, just a standard we heard was the way it is. Snowed, Paleclaw's point is that the earpink doesn't need to be visible, not that it is. They're saying earpink should be the artist's choice, not that is has to be realistic. PCA is supposed to be fun, right? Let's keep it fun. 14:33, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if just Paleclaw can see it. Four other people can't. Rainlegs, I'm asking you kindly to define the earpink. 16:28, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

ok. we all know earpink is part of the chararts- it has to be there, and artists choice is a thing, yeah. but when multiple people have an issue with it, something has to be done. i dont even notice the earpink at first glance, and we're not saying it has to be super defined??? just enough that we can actually SEE the damn thing. frankly if youre just not gonna listen to what people are saying then why bother putting up an image at all? realism doesnt have to be followed either- it doesnt count for much. hell, even remove some of the shadow from the ear and see if it does anything for definition. HotTeacher69 (talk) 18:36, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

Alright, this is starting an unnecessary argument. From here on out, all comments are to refrain from mentioning the ear pink, attacking users, or even calling their comments not valid enough. If you're going to comment, make sure it has a valid reason for being commented. This is turning into a train wreck of comments causing anxiety and stress for everyone involved. I will start to decline images for those who continue to bring up the issue of ear pink.

however, comments are being ignored. The changes should be made if the majority rules. See prior images. Anyways, define the shading on the paws. 03:53, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

first leader! And the name stumps me. 07:31, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Could you make the texture like... more thicker? idk if that's the word. rn it looks kinda like a few lines running down his pelt. 09:10, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Err... I don't really understand what you mean. Second opinion? 09:41, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

The texture (as seen on the white) seems like drawn straight lines rather than actual fur-representing lines. Maybe draw more of the "lines" and smudge/blur them? 10:04, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

I think the texture kinda fades out on the lighter parts?? But yeah, I do agree with Burnt on this. Also, texture on the leaders isn't always the easiest thing on the planet.

Blur the brown against the white a little more, and add shading to the left haunch. ~Spottehwobble

Are you making your texture kinda "spot-like"?? Or like...small lines? Because that's not texture and just looks like tiny lines. I'm not sure who ever told you that was okay, because it's not...

Blur the earpink some more 12:57, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

tbh the texture is very light, and it would be almost the same image without it. i'm not telling you to remove it, i'm just saying that if you choose to do so, the image would still look fine. Smooth out the shading on the underbelly. 21:00 Wed Sep 2

CBA? 01:57, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't think the texture follows the flow of the fur, but mainly on the haunch. It appears to be going <-- to -->, when it should probably be going up and down.. it doesn't match the rest of the texture on the image.

I also zoomed in on the image, and that is not texture. The lines are thick and shouldn't be like that. I'm sorry, but they should be thinner lines, and examples are scattered throughout the wiki on the various images. If you're not sure how to make texture how others have done it, then ask. As your texture is now, it's much too thick and doesn't flow with the fur very well at all. I'm sorry if this is rude, but as I've had comments like this told to me before, I figure that this is what the approval page is for- improvement.

Reupload the texture is becoming too stressful for me so I'm dropping it for now. 04:13, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Shouldnt there be shading on the left haunch? 10:14, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Don't think so. The light is coming from the left side, and if the haunch was completely visible that part still wouldn't have any shading. 21:36, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
