Re:
Hi DJ, sorry I've taken so long to get to you. It seems you have everything sorted out. ^^ Just ask if you need anything else. 10:57, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hey!

Re:
A charart is a picture of a cat which is shown on their character page. Users create chararts and try to get them approved. Users give critisism and the artist has to edit and fix it. My current charart for approval is Leopardstar (Ki). Users get one personal image on their user page, some users have their own cats Charart. If you give me the details I can make Candybud for you. See Project:Charart for more details.

 * 1) at the very top of any page that you're in, there should be your profile picture and your username. browse your cursor over it and look under your profile button.
 * 2) look for this page called "My Preferences Page" and click on it.
 * 3) scroll down and look for this section called "Signature."
 * 4) minimize your window that you're currently on and open up another page, and go to your talk page.
 * 5) now, this depends what kind of computer you're on. as for mine, i highlighted the code, right clicked, and clicked copy in a box.
 * 6) minimize the talk page window, and there should be your "my preferences" page.scroll down to signature section again. There's a box in that section that should say Signature: and then a typing box in it. right click again and there should be a box that pops up again, but this time, click paste.
 * 7) Don't forget to check the "Custom Signature" box!!!!
 * 8) Now if you ever want to change your signature go to your signature page and either copy the signature or go to source mode and copy the signature code. I hope you like it! And tell me if you want to change anything :) :)!

Apprentice
So apparently you're now my apprentice 8D What do you want to learn first? <span style="">00:26 Thu Nov 17

Hey DJ. I'm really sorry, but I got my computer privileges taken away 'cause I skipped school today (lol I'm such a rebel not ) so I'll have to answer your questions when I get back. Hopefully they can wait. Right now I'm only on the computer 'cause I'm doing homework, and I may be gone for up to a week, but I might get off 'cause of good behavior (let's hope so!). Again, I'm really sorry. Please don't go getting another mentor whilst I'm gone ^^ I'll be back as soon as possible. <span style="">05:32 Fri Nov 18

Hey DJ ^^ I'm on the computer stealthily whilst my mother is out. I'll try to answer your questions as quickly as I can before she returns. I'll explain in more detail when I can. First of all, the issue of conflicting programs. I don't know how to use pixlr, as I don't have it, so if you want to download GIMP, just click here and then click the download link if you have Windows, if you have a Mac click the little link that says "GIMP on Mac OS X" and download it from there. If you don't want to download GIMP, then you can look at some pixlr tutorials and once you figure out the basic functions of pixlr, I can explain the rest to you. It'd probably be easier to just use GIMP, but I won't try to pressure you into it XD Once you've done that, we can move on to torties. I'm kind of a fail at torties, too, but I'll try my hardest to help :3 <span style="">00:09 Sat Nov 19

Hey DJ. So did you decide if you wanted to download GIMP or not? <span style="">04:57 Wed Nov 23

No, I totally understand. I went through the same thing with my parents at the beginning. Take your time and tell me when you get a final decision :3 <span style="">04:34 Sat Nov 26

So I'm guessing you saw my tutorial XD <span style="">04:29 Sun Nov 27

I'm glad you liked it ^^ <span style="">05:09 Sun Nov 27

Yay! It's so exciting! Okay. What do you want to know first? <span style="">22:05 Sat Dec 3

Sure. Upload it and I'll critique it. :3 I'm sure it's not as bad as you might think. <span style="">11:00 Sun Dec 4

You should upload it right now 8D <span style="">08:40 Tue Dec 6

Oh well. Next time you have five seconds to upload it, do so :3 <span style="">08:46 Tue Dec 6

That's totally okay! It's not as bad as you were playing it to be XD It actually looks pretty good. First things first: the shading. Do you use layers? If not, you should. They make everything easier. I'll explain how to use them if you don't. Second of all, the earpink needs to be blurred. If you look at some other images, you'll see that they all have blurred or smudged earpink. So blur the edges of the colour lightly: just so much that you can see from a distance that it's blurred. (I like to switch back from viewing it full screen to 100% to check things like that, if it helps). Second of all, I like the colours. They're pretty. One thing I like to do when making a tortoiseshell is smudge the colours together. When you're smudging you take the Circle Fuzzy (03) and smudge the colours all in the same direction so that it looks like fur. Don't overdo it, though; if you're smudging it so much that you can't even see which colour is which anymore, you're doing it wrong ^^ Keep in mind the smudging isn't completely necessary. It can look good without smudging. Another thing to do (again, optional, but it often makes the charart look a lot better) is to add some depth in the eye. For the warrior blank I like to put a significantly lighter shade of the colour you're using in the bottom right corner of the eye. Um... aside from that, your image is pretty damn good ^^ You should see my first image: it's terrible. That's all for now, folks! Tell me if you have any questions. <span style="">02:20 Thu Dec 8

Wow I just realized how long that message ^up there^ was XD It looks much better. So, you never told me if you use layers or not. Do you? <span style="">00:00 Sat Dec 10

Okay awesome. Got any of your GIMP images that you used layers on? Wanna send one to me? I'll check our your style of shading/layers and tell you what you can do to improve on them. My email's on my userpage. <span style="">00:09 Sat Dec 10

Did you ever end up sending me that image? Also, do you need any help formatting your page? :3 Augh my apprentice is growing up before my eyes and I feel like I'm not helping at all! <span style="">23:25 Fri Dec 16

Re: Hi
Yeah, I love this place. And hate vandals, I occasionally catch a few bad edits and undo them, but yeah almost 3,500. You'll get there soon enough. Everyone goes at their own pace. That's very thoughtful of you! I would love it, before you joined, I'd been nominated, before Hallowe'en, but I'd only been there for, like, 2 months. So, yeah, didn't quite work out. :P Anyways, I'd love that. Thanks for considering that! <span style="">00:31 Sun Dec 18

DJ, I'd like to thank you. There aren't very many PW users this day committed to the project (not trying to single others out) and your work done to the article: Cow shows that you certainly care. No one's nominated a message in a long time besides Mistystar and I. And even I haven't been nominating too much. This message isn't meant to make you stay in the project and continue to nominate articles; even if you don't, I congratulate you on all the extra effort you put into the article. =)

Thanks again, 01:17, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Mentor and Apprentice
Oops. Sorry. I missed your message XD I had a sudden influx of new messages and yours got lost in the rush. Sure, you can explain your layer styles and I'll listen as well as I can :P (but if your email does suddenly start working, then email me :P) Perhaps I shall "test" you XD (or something)
 * Question 1: How many layers do you use? What is on each one?
 * Question 2: Each layer serves what purpose? (ie WHY do you use different layers for different bits of the image?)
 * Question 3: Your shading is making the image look gray-toned. What do you do to fix it?
 * Question 4: You're having issues with erasing waste. You always manage to miss some. How do you fix it?
 * Question 5: How do you make sure you never draw outside of the lineart?
 * Question 6: How do make sure you can't edit a layer?
 * Question 7: If you're creating an image that already has a previous version (ie an apprentice image when the character already has a kit image) what part of the image should you colourpick from?
 * Question 8: How do you smudge? (Pretend I know nothing about smudging and explain the process to me :P)
 * Question 9: How do you make stripes thinner at the tips? (Again, pretend I'm an idiot and explain it to me :P)
 * Question 10: Do you use highlights with all/any of your images? If so, why? If not, why?

Um... I don't know how dumb these questions are, but answer them to the best of your knowledge. :P Also, only some of them have right/wrong answers, and I'm mostly just asking 'cause I want to know your methods and then I can critique them, not tell you to do it my way. If it ain't broke, why fix it? jeez that was long. don't mind me and my long-winded-ness. One last thing: do you want help coding your page? :3 <span style="">12:02 Mon Jan 2

I hope you know you have just won my undying respect <3 <3 <3 Feedback:
 * Questions 1&2: The only difference between your layer styles and mine are that I combine the earpink/eye/nose layers into one :3
 * Question 3: Another way to fix gray-toned shading is to use a different colour for shading. Instead of black, you could use dark brown or dark red or even blue, depending on what the base colour of the cat is. Remember that when you're trying to match an image and you've taken colourpicked all the right colours but with the shading, it just doesn't look right!
 * Question 4: Another way to easily erase waste is to have a layer where the background is filled in with one solid colour. Then colour select the background, go to the layer where you have waste, and just Ctrl+C (cut) the waste away. Foolproof and simple :3
 * Question 5: I worded my question wrong. What I meant to ask you is do you know how to lock the transparent (un-drawn-upon) pixels? It's convenient.
 * Question 6: Haha remember, there really isn't a right/wrong answer to most of these questions :P But hopefully you know that if you click the space to the right of the "eye" on the layers tab, you can lock the layer.
 * Question 7: Perfect :3
 * Question 8: Awesome, you got it down :P a good tip to remember about smudging is that you should always smudge in one direction, and one direction only: the direction the fur is going in. Otherwise the smudgies don't look like fur... they just look weird :P Also never click the "hard edge" button when you smudge.
 * Question 9: There are several ways to do this. The one you described is one that I use. Another is to smudge the stripe out through the tip. Yet another is to make the tip really square and then use one of the circle fuzzy brushes (and do not click the "hard edge" button) and erase the edges of the stripe until it looks sharp :3 if you do the last way correctly, you probably won't need to blur the stripe.
 * Question 10: Yup, me too :3

Awesome, you have respect points forever :P And do you want your page to look like mine, or do you want something else? (go creep people's pages and then report back when you have a vague idea of what you want haha) THANK YOU for spending so much time on this. As soon as your email is working again, send me one of your .xcf files, and after I "analyze" it (haha) then I think you'll be ready to graduate, apprentice! <span style="">01:23 Tue Jan 3

What it does is makes sure you can't draw anything outside of what has already been drawn on, if that makes any sense. For example, if you have a layer that already has stripes on it, and you want to change the stripes' colour without redrawing all of the stripes, you can click that little box, bring out the airbrush tool, and draw everywhere, but it will only draw on the already-existing stripes. Pretty cool, huh? And tell me when you figure out what you want for your userpage ;3 <span style="">01:54 Tue Jan 3

RE:Learning more
Okay so what did you want to know about mottled cats? Some tips on how to make them? Or the whole process of how I do it? Or what? :P <span style="">01:34 Thu Jan 5

Sounds good. No need to post it to my page, though. I can check it on your userpage - or better yet, leave me a link to your personal image like this. That would be convenient :3 <span style="">01:55 Thu Jan 5

Not bad! Not bad at all. Very pretty :3 Really, there isn't anything much I'd say you should tweak, except maybe blurring the mottles a bit more and adding more contrast to the eyes. Now, the style you did was a very blatantly mottled cat. You can have cats like that, and you can have cats like this where the mottles are much smaller and more regular. How about (when you have time, mind you) you try making a mottled cat more like that, simply for practice's sake. And when you're finished that one, you can make another style of mottled cat that has markings that are larger and have more small details like this or this. Those last images are technically torties, but you can't really have a mottled cat without it being a tortie or a tabby (or both), so whatever. Anyway, no rush for the second example images, so just make 'em when you have time :3 <span style="">04:32 Thu Jan 5

Sorry, I skipped over your post. X.X Anyways, I'm not looking for any animators, I'm doing that part by myself as that's what I'm basically doing this for. To practice animating. Voices are mainly what I'm looking for, but I'm also kinda looking for a background artist, though I'm extremely picky about that, and people to toss around ideas with me about character designs. and maybe if anyone's interested, figuring out camera angles and all that. You could probably help with the last two if you really want? :) Honestly, I originally planned to do this alone, but when I started to think about it more, people for those three things would be a huge help. <span style="border:2px dotted; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:#4b3b6a; font-family:Cursive; background:#bdcdff; text-shadow:gray 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;"> Pale Legs ♪Be prepared...♪  16:49, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean? I see nothing wrong with it, and the coding has worked for a couple weeks now. It only messed up once, and I don't know why. And it didn't affect anything else when it did.
