Warriors Wiki talk:Charart

Talltail- For approval


Look everyone! My first real charcat!!! Let me know if it has issues, I shaded him and everything!! I want this charcat to be approved. Hawkfire Rock and roll all nite! 15:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

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). That's the standard we need before approval  Sandy Talk! 15:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

His eye looks like he's sinister; perhaps this could be changed?--Yai-Girl 16:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

He looks like he popped right out of Pokemon. Give him less of an angry-japanese look. G B 57 16:51, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, Okay. I redid him. Does he look any better? Hawkfire My Den 17:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Why are his feet black?--Yai-Girl 17:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

He is better, but I would suggest a black patch on his foreleg coming up to his chest, and lighten the black even more. You also need to blur the transition between black and white on all the places. Some more shading is needed, too. Keep it up, and he'll be approved in no time. And Yai, I'm presuming his paws are black cause he's a black and white cat. -- Bramble My Realm 17:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I smudged him, added more shading, and added that patch Bramble wanted. Comments? Hawkfire My Den 18:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

What's with all the tiny black dots? And try blurring instead if smudging. Sand wich  989  19:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Anything else? :) And I have no idea how those black dots get there sandwich, I set it to png but they wont go away! Hawkfire My Den 19:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't see the black dots anymore. I think you just add shading and blend it in and it will look good. Sand wich  989  22:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I did blend, and I did add shading. I just brightened the shading to make it a silvery color. Anything else? Hawkfire My Den 13:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The black needs to be a lot lighter, and I think in places it goes outside the lineart. -- Bramble My Realm 19:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't see anyn shading. But I would do is make the blur tool brush big enough so half of it can be on the black and half of it can be on the white and just run it until the black and white stops. Do that where there is all black and white next together. Sand wich  989  19:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Better? Hawkfire My Den 20:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Make the black slightly lighter than what you have now so you can see the lineart. And it still needs more shading and the patches need blending. Your doing great. =)--Warrior♥ Warrior's Den 20:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I found the perfect shade of black! I added more shading, and I added more blending, is it better? Hawkfire My Den 14:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

This is the best yet, and it is a great shade of black. The shading is too pronounced, though, it needs to be more blurred and less standoutish. -- Bramble My Realm 14:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Better? I blurred the shading Hawkfire My Den 12:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Better, yes, but put a little bit of the normal black color between the shading and the white on that patch in the middle of his back. His ear pink also needs to be blended more into the pelt. -- Bramble My Realm 19:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Better? Reuploaded. Hawkfire My Den 19:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The patches looks smudge inches into the pelt in some places and not blended at all. And I suggest making it a shade darker than pure white.--Warrior♥ Warrior's Den 20:20, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Like this? Hawkfire My Den 12:57, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes! Add some more shading on the chest and possible the muzzle and I think he'll be ready. Perhaps blend the ear pink a little too.  Sandy Talk! 13:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Will this work? Hawkfire My Den 02:28, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

You don't think that you could possibly blend in the shading more? The line between non-shading and shading is still rather distinctive. -- Dawnfeather talk! 13:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * There also looks like a smudge spot near the base of his tail, but on his back.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 17:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

This looks great, Hawkfire. I'd suggest you lighten the shading, though. And the black is too dark. I would use the same black as Crowfeather or maybe Nightcloud. Sparrowsong 21:20, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Reuploaded Hawkfire My Den 21:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

The patches need blended more. Look at Patchfoot, Smallkit, and other patched cats for reference. --Warrior♥ Warrior's Den 23:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Better? Hawkfire My Den 16:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Any more comments? Hawkfire My Den 21:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Again, the ear is the problem here. You need to sort it in the same way as you need to sort Jumpfoot's Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 10:31, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow, Hawkfire, this looks really good! But the ear pink needs to be lighter and more triangular. <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:IceBlue; background:violet; border:1px solid; ; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:IceBlue;"> Sparrowsong ( talk! ) 17:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

This hasn't been worked on in a week. Please work on this or it will be declined. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 11:27, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh sorry Sandy!! Um..Well to make a long story short, my laptop has the same virus GB's cpu does, and its very bad. So I havent been on my laptop in awhile, which it has all my charart on it. And also, all the computers I have tried, I can't get access to Pixlr, so now I am using my brother's laptop (the same kind of laptop) while mine is getting fixed. Anyway I fixed the ear, and darkened the shading. Hawkfire Go Aggies! 14:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

He seems a little too dark, I can barely se the outline. Also shouldn't both he and Tallstar have the same markings?--<span style="color: darkblue; background:#gold; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 3em; color:darkblue;"> Darkhallows Lair 18:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Duskfur (W)- For Approval


Okay, I wanted to try a tabby, so I did Duskfur of Riverclan. I was so mad because I finished it, saved it wrong, and then was unable to reopen and resave it, so I had to redo the entire picture. So much trouble for a cat. -.- Improvement tips? Silver tree  ♥  21:38, 10 July, 2009 (UTC)

The tabby marks look like they were made with water colors, you can see through them and they looked liquidy. There also needs to be some more of them, slightly smaller and more thin. -- Bramble My Realm 17:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Updated. I re-did all the stripes. Are they opaque enough? Silver tree  ♥  16:57, 11 July, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, much better. You just need to add a stripe on her haunch near the tail, where that gap is, and <S>also add a marking by her eye. She looks awesome now. -- Bramble My Realm 21:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Never mind the eye comment. -- Bramble My Realm 21:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Updated Added the tabby mark. Anything else? Silver tree  ♥  18:11, 11 July, 2009 (UTC)

Updated' Fixed the ear and blended the tabby marks.

The markins are very dark - try lightening them a little and then blending them slightly more so they look more natural. Also, the ear pink is too fluro and needs to be more triangle shaped (make sure you blend though).

Make the tabby marks basically just a shade higher than the main pelt color. Also, on the neck, the angle of the marking there is rather abrupt; make it so it’s coming from the center of the throat. -- Bramble My Realm 00:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Good, just do all the things above, and make the eye amber (orange) because it's yellow and he has amber eyes. Hawkfire My Den 21:33, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

He looks more really dark brown then he does black. That may just be my computer though.--: LST DragonClan's Camp 00:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - The tendril on the nose looks strange. Try widening it at the bottem and then gradually thinning it out. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Moss, and I also think the shading needs to be blurred a bit. Also add a white pixel by the pupils, for a highlight. -- Bramble My Realm 20:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I forgot how to blend shading again, sorry.--Yai-Girl 04:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

I looked at the approved leaders. How does he look?--Yai-Girl 05:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC) Yai-Girl

To blend shading use the smudge or blur tool and run it across it. Use the dodge tool for shading, but it wont work on white images so make his pelt color just a shade darker than pure white.--<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#949494">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#7A7A7A">Warrior's Den 17:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

dark... his white patches are grey now... Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 18:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with Sandy. Overall he's darker. I'd suggest going over it with the dodge tool in some places for brighter highlights to bring it up to near white and possibly making his eyes lighter as well? -- Quiet ! 08:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

He still needs to be a bit lighter. Just darker than pure white. Also, blend the shading into the pelt. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 19:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Brightheart(Ki) - For Approval
I wanted to have a go at a kit. Can anyone tell me how to put shading on a white kit? --Spottedwing 18:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

1.) Add shading by taking the brush tool in pixlr.com, choose the 5 brush and change the exposer to 50%. Put the brush when the shding should go and blend.

2.) The patches look to circleish and ovalish. Make them sort of lumpy.

3.) Blend all the patches and ear pink

Do this and it should be good.Minnowclaw 19:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw


 * Like Minnowclaw said, fix the patches. No cat has such even markings like this.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 21:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Minnowclaw and Shimmer. To put shading on a white cat you need to make sure the cat isn't pure white.

 * Try to position the patches like on the queen and warrior versions of her.

She needs more shading on the neck, head and left side of her body. Blend the edges of the patches slightly and also the shading. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 09:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The shading is really bothering me. Her right forepaw has the regular white while the rest of her is darker and has more shading. Fix this by adding some of the regular white in her. Also blend the patches like Sandy said.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 18:23, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

She just needs some shading on her cheeks, the ginger mark on her tail blurred, shading added to the bottom of the tail, and the neck shading curved downward some more. Then I’d call her good to go. The patches are much better. -- Bramble My Realm 00:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Now, the lineart needs to be thicker, so as it goes with the other images. Instead of the tail being up, it would be better if it was curled around the paws, I think, and the ears need to be shrunk. The paws look slightly awkward too. I found this pic: click You could probably use it for reference. -- Bramble My Realm 20:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks great, but can you please make them a bit bigger? MaYbe the size of my Loner blanks on the bottom? Besides that I love them!

Okay. I have a couple of things:


 * 1) They are a little small but I'm not sure how to make them bigger (Moss might know as she did it for her prey-hunters)
 * 2) There doesn't seem to be much difference between the longhaired and shorthaired - make it clearer which have longer fur
 * 3) The heads are a little strange - they seem really... angular and the eyes are really off centre which looks odd
 * 4) The lineart on the inside of a couple of them still needs to be thickened.

I agree with Hawkfire on blending the shading. It took a while for me to find out what you meant by highlights, but I don't use them. I have no clue what quiet does, but if you mean what I did with Thunderstar, I go to www.pixlr.com and use the dodged tool for shading and highlights. Hope I helped!Minnowclaw 22:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Make the eyes amber as it is a generic colour unless you can find a reference for blue eyes. Take the shading away from the top edge of the tail and add some on the neck and left side of his face. Then blend all the shading more. Highlights aren't strictly necessary but if you do want to add them then use the dodge tool. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 13:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Made eyes amber, fixed tail, and fixed shading. Sand wich  989  19:13, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - I think what Snady meant is to still have the shading along the bottem of the tail, just not on the top. Also, there are two white dots toward the outside of the eyes that aren't highlights that need to be taken out. ₪ <span style="font:12px Papyrus;display:inline;border:Goldenrod 2px solid;background-color:white;padding:04px;"> MosswhiskerAndStealthfire   01:16, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, he needs shading on the other side of his body, his front legs and top of head, and your current shading needs to be blurred in more. There's also an extra bit of gray stuck in between the tail and side, get rid of that. -- Bramble My Realm 02:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

The shading needs to be blurred into the pelt, to make it look more natural, and less like patches. Plus, he's supposed to be black. Right now, he looks more like a dark gray. Maybe make him a little darker. Other then that, good! Jaypaw189 21:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC) aka Jayie

I changed the eyes to green, like you said, Rainpelt. I don't remember it saying anything about him being a tabby, but if you look at page 144 in Code of the Clans, you will see a pic of Pinestar's head. It has the same markings I have drawn on him. That'd be great, Bramble, but could u wait untill it is ready to be approved? Jaypaw189 19:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

He's just a red-brown tom, so he doesn't need tabby marks. But the markings on his eyes can stay, just make them a darker brown color instead of black; black sticks out too much. And sure, I can wait until it just needs that done, and then it can be approved. -- Bramble My Realm 23:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I’m a she. ;) I reuploaded him with transparent background and unblurred lineart. Those black lines around his muzzle; take those away, cause it makes his muzzle look like he’s wrinkling it up and it looks odd.

I dunno... if he was never shown as an apprentice or mentioned as one then we shouldn't really do the image.

She's pretty good, Fire. Her tabby stripes are a little messy, though, I'd look at some of Sandy's approved kit pics; they have awesome tabby stripes. Also, move her pupils down to the bottom of her eyes, and add a white pixel above the pupils for highlights, to make her look alive. Also, remember to add shading. Last of all, blur the edge of her white paw, and take away the black line separating her ginger fur from the white. --Bramble My Realm 03:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I've made you a diagram. The blue stripes are where your tabby stripes need to be, and when you've added them, using the same color you have the current stripes, blur them a bit. The red circles are where you need to add darker shading; use the burn tool (white-gloved hand) for that. And the green circles are where you need to take out those black lines across the ears, and shrink the pink and put in some ginger around it, like the other approved images. Also, change the eyes like I have them changed. At the moment, her eyes look wonky and twisted. --Bramble My Realm 02:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Thx bramble,I touched her up,burned her stripes,and deleted the old one's and put new ones in,i added darker ginger shading like brownish to her and deleted the black line at the ears. --Firepelt 18:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)FirePelt

Better but not there yet. The ear pink needs to be much smaller and blended in (look at some approved kits for reference. Mintkit, Fallowkit and Ivykit for example although there are many others) Then sort out the eyes as she looks cross-eyed (again looking at approved kits for guidance will help greatly). She needs more shading on her neck and sides and you need to extend it into the pelt and blend well to lessen the transition. Then make sure she's not blurry as I can see some blurred lineart that's giving her a fuzzy look :) Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 11:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Your getting there! Her tabby stripes need to be more thicker and blended a little more. The linart is also blurred to me. Hawkfire My Den 15:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - This is really good! The only thing that strikes me is the eye; it needs to have more color to it.

This is really good for your first ever charart Echo. I would suggest looking at some approved warriors for help with the highlighting and pupil in the eye and also make the white a very very pale grey instead so that the shading shows up. Add shading on the curve of the hind leg, chest, head and bottom edge of the tail. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 13:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, this is pretty good for your first charart. But you need to darken the shading a bit - I can hardly see it. <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:silver; background:black; border:1px solid; ; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:IceBlue;"> Sparrow ( song ) 20:55, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) - For shading, I use the burn tool (If you don't have this tool, go to www.pixlr.com) Then go up to brushes, click on size 20 to 30 (depending on what area you're shading),and put the hardness at 0. Then just run it over the areas you need to shade about 2 to 3 times.

Make the ears more foreward-facing. The back one looks a little like hair, not an ear. I think the main problem with the tail is that it comes from the leg. Move it further up.--<span style="color: darkblue; background:#gold; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 3em; color:darkblue;"> Darkhallows Lair 03:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Like this? I curled the tail around the paws instead, I think it looks good like that. I should of noticed the ear :) Hawkfire ♫  Go Aggies! 14:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, here's a few suggestions to start with and we'll go from there:


 * 1) The tail is now stuck out from the body at a strange angle... try and bring it closer to thhe body so it partially coveres the paws as if it is actually curled on top of them
 * 2) The ears are really large and at a strange angle
 * 3) The facial features are very... comic-like; try and make them look more realistic like the leader or queen blanks.
 * 4) Also, the left front paw is weird... it looks injured. Try and straighten it when you work on the tail. It should all fit into place Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 19:04, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It’s a perfect shade of sandy-gray, the color is beautiful. Do you think you could make the patch smaller, or more flash-like? It says a flash of white in his description, and this looks more like a patch. -- Bramble My Realm 00:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

She’s as beautiful as an ill-tempered ShadowClan queen can look. :) I agree with Sandy and the others whole-heartedly that you’re getting very talented. The only thing I see is that the shading style on her haunch looks different than the rest of the shading; it looks as if it was saturated as well as shaded. A bit of it also overlapped the haunch and went on the belly area. -- Bramble My Realm 00:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

(M) Thanks Bramble! I don't know what exactly you meant about the shading, seeing as I used the same method for the haunch as the rest of the body.

I separated it out into different sections. The ear colour is still a bit dodgy, play around with it a bit. Also, (I remember when this was up before it was declined) the colouring technique you have done him in is now more used for mottled cats. I would sayto make him a solid colour, butt before you do, maybe you should gather Sandy's or Bramble's opinions on this (or another senior warrior's, or just someone else's in general actually =D ).

I agree with Dawn. Take away the markings as they look kind of red and it's making the orange a really strange colour. Make the orange less fluroescent too. The shading is great it's just his colour! Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 12:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I see a few problems. His pelt is a strange orange colour where it should be brown (like his father). The lineart is very blurry so Echo's right, that does need fixing. Also, the large triangular tabby markings you've used are deemed as cartooony and are not acceptable for the high standards of the project. There are a few alternative marking methods that are esay to do. You can use wavy markings such as on Tornear or Stumpytail - I use these personally for warriors and there are very easy to do. You can also try the 'jagged y' markings such as on Brambleclaw or Cinderheart and there are others besides such as Sunstar. I would suggest either of the first two options however as it is your first image - make sure they're only slightly darker than your base colour. When you've sorted the lineart and the colour and the markings then we'll talk shading. Sandy ~Dragonkit's Forest 19:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
