Featherpaw (A) - For Approval
I did my best. Tigerbird-The-Great 01:03, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Can you darken/define the shading? And tone the earpink down some, it looks a little bright. You can just run the burn tool over it a few times, and that should do the trick. I like those eyes. 1:13 Fri Sep 5

Smear a bit of the fur into the ears 18:02, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded.Tigerbird-The-Great 01:19, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Smudge some more fur into the ears. Still looks a bit solid. 04:31, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Oh and define the light on all four paws^^ 19:45, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Maybe lighten she shading just a tick? The stripes are getting a little lost. Nice job! 9:00 PM, Sat Sep 6, 2014

This is beautiful! I feel so proud right now Define the light on the lower part of the tail, and possibly the shading on the tailtip? 11:39, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Still working? 15:48, September 11, 2014 (UTC)

I will update soon. Tigerbird-The-Great 23:47, September 12, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. I cannot smudge any fur into the ears. I need opinions. Tigerbird-The-Great 00:51, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Add more stripes. 11:27, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Tigerbird-The-Great 21:07, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible to make the pattern look more natural? If you look at other tabby chararts or a real life tabby, that'd be a good reference. 08:52, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

Tigerbird, referring to an earlier upload when you said you can't smudge the fur into the ears, you can if you raise the rate of the smudge tool(depending on what program you use) and it'll smudge for you. Shinx, we have had a debate in the past on the image Aspenfall when he was up for approval. We ended up deeming it natural and let it pass. I think if Tigerbird maybe had the markings curve more to the fur it'd look more natural, but the actual pattern I think could work unless someone says otherwise. I'm just remembering a past similarity. Lol. Keep it up, Tiger! 12:29, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Aspenfall and Featherpaw are two totally different pelt types, Darkfrost. Gray/white placement on those cats, to my knowledge, is not totally required to be placed realistically. Tabby stripes, however, are (sadly; I hate realism and I think it's stupid to force it on others), so they should be made a bit more natural. Also, please keep in mind that one user does not speak for the entire project (so using 'we' and things like that isn't necessary, since most of the members who were around at that time are long gone), and I agree with Shinx about the stripes.

Reuploaded. I'll work on the ear smudging. Tigerbird-The-Great 22:25, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

I can't smudge the ear fur since I use Pixlr and the smudging turns out black when I try to use it. Tigerbird-The-Great 22:28, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Isn't this supposed to be called File:Featherpaw (WC).apprentice.png? 23:36 Thu Sep 18

No the file name is correct. It's normal to put an underscore instead of a space. 18:20, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Um, no it's not correct. What Hawky has linked is the correct file name, so please use it. We need File:Name.rank.png, otherwise it does not work in the least with the templates. Tiger, I've told you this before =P

I'm sorry, but I know there are several files with -name-_(SC).rank that I've seen, so I just assumed the (WC) was supposed to be like (SC) is. 02:07, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

When I try to put a space, it changes to an underscore. Tigerbird-The-Great 16:55, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

That's not what I was talking about. The underscore is fine. But, it needs to follow the exact naming guidelines that we have, and what Hawky has is the proper file name, changing it to an underscore is the exact same thing.

Oh my bad. I thought it was about the underscore but I see what you're talking about now. Carry on :3 20:50, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

I think the shading can be darkened a bit, and the stripes stylized a little more so they don't look as paintbrushed. Perhaps smudge them? Also, can you unblur the ear pink towards the edges of the ear? I think it might have been overblurred a bit..

Toadstep (SC) - For Approval
-gross sobbing- My poor baby! Also, I will fix the waste in the next reupload. 19:06, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Smudge the fur into the ear a bit more and define the shading a bit 19:08, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Try blurring/smudgning the earpink a bit more. The white on the right paw is higher than on the left paw, and the chest white could do with a bit more blurring plus a bit of defining on the shading. Also, the file should be named Toadstep.star.png. Brick 20:02, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading on >>>> paw a bit, too. 20:09, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

The shoulder should be black, not white. Jayie Unwritten words~ 03:24, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Blur/smudge the shading a little? Everywhere except for the haunch and face. 17:43, 09/6/2014 Try making his eyes a bit more pale.

Define the overall shading while your at it.-- 18:52, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

Can you blur the white on his chest? It looks a bit hard edged. Poor Toadstep. Tigerbird-The-Great 23:40, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded I'm not changing the design on his paws, because it matches his other chararts,and his design is based off of my real cat, so uneven socks on the paws is realistic. 17:40, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

There's some waste around the image.

Perhaps just make the eyes a tad bit more of a paler green to match his other images, and also either blur or smudge (Whatever they used on his other images) the white parts just a tad. -- 00:57, September 11, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded Okay! And since I use Sai and it has a really unreliable selection tool, I'm having a hard time removing waste without it removing lineart. Does anyone else use Sai and have a "true" way of selecting the binary region instead of it being feathered? I feel like a dumb and I'm sorry 16:02, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

If I were to make a reccomendation on removing waste on SAI, it would be select outside on the lineart layer on default settings, using working layer only settings, and going through each layer doing CTRL+X. That should work. Brick  20:48, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

The white looks over-smudged. 18:22, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I promise I'll reupload sometime tonight, I had to work 6 days in a row  00:12, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded  18:06, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

I like this. Let's go CBA.

I hate to interrupt, but there's waste around the image, most notably the ear, the tail and the back. 20:33 Sun Sep 21

Waste does not affect the overall quality of the image and can be killed at any time. Continuing CBA.

My apologies for another interruption, but could you define the chest shading, perhaps? It looks flat. 21:59, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ancient Tribe Blanks ~ For Approval


(ill crop all of the extra space on the next upload.) Comments? 03:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Why do those look slightly different from these? o.o The blanks should be pixel-like, how the ones in your PI are. Also, if you just want to put one long-haired and one short-haired up, that's fine, that way we don't have four extra images. You can just add eyelashes/remove them, depending on which set you have first. The only difference between male and female ones here are the eyelashes.

Because, I tweaked them a bit. I can easily make them pixelated: I just didn't have enough time right this second. I thought I'd just go ahead and post them now, so I can fix anatomy errors while I'm fixing other issues. ^^` -- 04:19, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Elongate the body, and perhaps make the ears a bit thinner. Jayie Unwritten words~ 04:28, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Well, like the other blanks, they do have to be pixelated. I wasn't sure that you were aware of that or not, so I figured that informing you would be a good idea. If you could please do that, I would appreciate it. I won't comment much aside from small issues- anatomy is not my strong point.

Maybe flatten the rump a bit. 06:35, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Add a bit more fluff to the longhaired tails? I told you you'd win! 07:59, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

For the longhaired blanks add more fluffiness all around. 3:05 PM, Mon Sep 15, 2014

Would you like a redline? 15:52 Mon Sep 15 2014

Also, in generally I'd recommend flipping them so they don't get confused with the elder blanks. 15:53 Mon Sep 15 2014

Try smoothing rounding out the line about the shoulder, and maybe make the line for the chest reach all the way down? Sorry if I'm being unclear, I'm crap at wording things >< 16:36, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

The forepaw that goes on top of the other one goes up awkwardly, so maybe try to show that it's connected to the leg? Sorry I am really terrible at explaining stuff like this. 20:31 Mon Sep 15

Re-uploaded. Better? ^^' I dont have a tablet, so drawing these with a mouse is difficult. ^^' But, i tried to add all of the above. Im aware that i have to fix the eye on the shorthaired blank, and the ear on the longfurred blank. Im aware of some issues, but i didnt have enough time to fix them on this upload. ^^'-- 02:23, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

They still have to be pixelated, and Breezey's suggestion for flipping them so they don't get confused with the elders is a really good idea. ^^

Make it so this > front paw doesn't look so short and almost rectangle-like. Make it more curved like < this one. These are really good. ^.^ 03:08, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Uhm so I forgot to reflip them around but the image is the same. Here are some redlines. 3:17 Tue Sep 16 2014

Elongate the body more, lower/flatten the rump a bit especially on the longhair, make the tail way fuller, and flatten the forehead a bit. Jayie Unwritten words~ 03:18, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Breezy told me the redlines could be used as a reference, or just lined directly over. The redline helped greatly; thank you, Raelic. Better?-- 04:27, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

This looks really good. :) The only thing I can think of is make the tail even fluffier. Look how full this tail is compared to the rest of the cat: http://thornews.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/norsk-skogkatt1.jpg I can do redlines for the tail if you want. Jayie  Unwritten words~ 04:29, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Also, make the shorthair tail a bit thinner. Jayie Unwritten words~ 04:34, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to add a bit more fluff to the longhairs all over, methinks. 08:48, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

The lines could be a little bit thinner. i'm still so glad these won because that pose if beautiful imho   Brick   14:45, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

It could probably only be thinner in certain places. I think, comparing it to some of the other blanks we have, they're around the same thickness.

The neck kinda resembles a dragon neck. Can you bring the neck line behind the head a few pixels closer to the nose side of the head? Like move that line over >>>> this way more. 20:35 Tue Sep 16

Can you elongate the body just a tick more? 8:44 PM, Tue Sep 16, 2014

Re-uploaded. I'd rather not elongate it anymore, it looks fine to me. Moved the neck line, fluffified the longfurred more, and made the short fur tail thinner. Better?-- 21:51, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

The arm on <<< this side looks awkward. Move the chest line <<<< more so that the chest appears larger. 23:57 Tue Sep 16

Make the longhair tail fluffier with a tiny bit more of a point to it (look at the Queen and Elder blanks to see what I mean) and the shorthair tail should be even skinnier. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:11, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I think it might be fluffy enough, it just need a bit more of a tapering off at the end. It's the shorthair that needs to be much skinnier. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:59, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Lengthen the visible back leg? It looks a bit short to me.--EosOfTheDawn (talk) 18:10, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

I think for the back leg if you erase a bit of the line separating the leg from the foot it may help. Do you want me to give you a redline? 7:11 PM, Thu Sep 18, 2014

redline as per request. I think if you move the tail out away from the foot a bit more, and elongate the foot and erase a bit of that line it'll help. 11:19 PM, Thu Sep 18, 2014

I think the shorthair tail should be thinner than that, personally. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:40, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I'd thicken the ruff on the longhair's neck 03:26, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I will reupload soon. =) Probably sometime this weekend.-- 02:30, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Better?-- 01:03, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Make the tail on the shorthair thinner, and have more of a tapering off for the tip of the long-haired tail. The thickest part of the tail should be the middle. Jayie Unwritten words~ 01:14, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

I did that in the last upload. Do you want me to add more?-- 01:22, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yes. It looks like you added more bulk to the top of the tail, instead of thinning out the top of the tail and adding more bulk to the middle of the tail. Would you like me to redline? And yes to thinning out the shorthair tail. It's close, it just needs to be a bit thinner, especially when compared to the longhair tail. Jayie Unwritten words~ 01:27, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Give the longhair some more floof on the tail. <span style="">1:40 Thu Sep 25

Whiskernose (E) - For Approval
Somebody fix my alignment I don't know how :( So, I'm a little worried about this one. Thoughts? EosOfTheDawn (talk) 18:07, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

What'cha worried about? He's looking amazing. Darken and define the shading a bit, though. ^^

Re-uploaded Thanks! EosOfTheDawn (talk) 17:22, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the shading some more, but not too much. Just try to define the depth of it. Cloudy is right, this is looking very nice!! 23:22, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

still working? 07:43, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible to define the earpink a bit without straying too far from the apprentice's colors? 13:10, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Reups stuck it in-between the two layers of shading (I use two for shading definition) 16:07, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Hazeltail (Star) - For Approval
Now she's confirmed to be in StarClan so heres Hazeltail's Starclanner again :3 20:03, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups Thank you:) Thickened the tail but i think its a bit too fluffy now :p 15:57, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading a bit, it's starting to look blotchy. And I think the tail is fine but you may want a second opinion lol. 17:00, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

It dosen't look at all blotchy to me, but I just think the tail shading needs a bit of definition and the shading nearer the start of the tail should be blurred just a tiny bit. 13:29, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups Better? 19:51, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Seedpaw (Ki) ~ For Approval
Tried matching the StarClanner.

Would you like the .psd for the colors, or are you good without it? Either way, she matches quite well, I'd say.

Define the neck shading, and smudge the earpink a tad. Also define the <--- leg's shading. And yeah I think it matches pretty well. 16:55, September 20, 2014 (UTC) They're blue here. The eyes look fine to me, I'm assuming it's your computer. 02:04, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

re-up 19:10, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups I think wikia's being a butt but we'll see. 23:38, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

define the shading thats not on the tail, especially on the face. 07:49, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups  09:47, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

The tinting on the shading seems almost the exact color if the stripes. Maybe lighten the tint just a click? The stripes almost blend with the shading so I can't see them. If I don't make sense feel free to say so lol 02:21, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

I can't change the tint- I'm not using one. I use black shading. I can lighten the shading itself, if you want, but then  I'll probably get asked to define it again. 08:49, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Just lighten it a tad? Not too much so you don't see it but so it doesn't blend too much. I use black too xD I just know some who tint so I wasn't sure if you were one. 12:35, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I wasn't happy with it anyway :3 Now I am. If changes are not showing.. 13:10, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Oooh, I like this shading style. Define the light source- the legs say it's coming from the front, but the head and tail say the back. 14:07, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Thanks!! c: And yeah dem stupid short-haired tails x.x. I hope the face shading is alright I spent a while on it lol. 18:31, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Expand the belly shading? 15:29, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Smooth out the smudges so they don't seem as visible. I think when you're smudging the shading, say if you smudge it vertically, you should probably also smudge it a bit horizontally as well to make blend the shading a little better. Beebs and David both have wonderful examples of smudging on queens, and Paleh's charart, Lilyfur's queen is another marvelous (and very neat) example.

Re-uploaded. Went ahead and redid the shading. I loved both Beebs and David's style but I wanted to try out how Paleh did the amazing shading style. So I tried. :D If changes are not showing.. 19:37, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Oh that shading is amazing~! Maybe just fedine the edges a little bit? <span style="">9:34 PM, Wed Sep 24, 2014

Frosty the Snowman. ^-^ Comments? 01:30, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

he looks really grey. i'd recommend removing some of the shading on his tail and front legs, and possibly lightening it up a tad. 07:41, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

My brother Frost :D !! Define the texture more on the face. It seems almost solid white compared to the rest of the body. Pretty~ 15:17, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

I think the texture could be defined slightly on the entire image.

Lighten and define the shading on the face. If the light is coming from the upper right hand corner, then the shadow should be further down on the face, not up around the eye and the ear. Jayie Unwritten words~ 16:39, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Also, wouldn't the head cast a shadow on the neck? 19:17, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

You're a kit, so the heading should say "For Evaluation". Anyway, not bad! Define the leg shading. 14:37, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Might as well keep it at "for approval" anyways, since this is more than qualified to get Vixen to the apprentice rank, which is exactly what I'm gonna go do.
