One more thing
(Again, posting from my phone, so i apologize for having this at the top of your talkpage. Mobile is a pain >. <) Anyways,  i just thought i'd tell you to accept my offer as your mentor on the Mentoring page. That way, yiur name is added to the table/ and being my official apprentice.

Regarding your image; That is amazing, you should feel proud <3. Yoz can always smudge the stripes to give him a furry look, too. I normally smudge my stripes with a hard edged brush at a rate around 50-ish. :) 20:04, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Signatures
Sure, although if you're going to multiple signatures, you'll need to use the  tags so that they don't all show up when you're putting your signature down. 20:41, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re: User Page
Thank you so, so much for offering!!! 8'D I would really appreciate that since your page looks really nice. If you could at least tell me how to get the "show / hide" boxes to function the way you have them on your page, that would be wonderful! :D f a b l e ∞ 20:14, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Oh gosh, I've been trying to get the code to work without any luck! D': Do you know what it's called in the template section so I can look it up and find more information there? (Thank you for linking it to me though, I really appreciate it!! I don't understand what it's doing wrong ;m; f a b l e ∞ 21:15, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Go right ahead!! :'D Thank you so much! If you could just get my userboxes into one box labeled "testing" or something like that and use white for the background, I can figure out the right code and get everything sorted! f <font color="#5B2438">a <font color="#761F39">b <font color="#921A3A">l <font color="#AD153B">e <font color="#FFFFFF">∞ 21:25, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Mentor
Hi Gia. =) I happened to see your request for a mentor, and i'd be happy to take you on if you'll let me. We can start some lessons as soon as you agree. =)  Now, tell me, What would you actually like to learn first? 04:11, November 23, 2014 (UTC)

Alright. Ill put together a lesson soon. =) 23:21, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

I should have it up by this weekend; Im going to be busy tomorrow and friday; and i also had to just get stitches yesterday, so im on crutches for a few days. Hopefully, it'll be up by monday at the latest. :) What type of tabby intrest you most? Marbled,ticked,classic,pointed,mackeral/ etc. 01:01, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

Tabbies
Okay! Sorry it took so long, but here is your first lesson on tabbies.

Classic Tabbies: Classic tabby stripes are normally connected, not broken up. (pointy) You can look at google images of classic tabbies as a reference while your working, it actually really helps.

Marbled Tabbies: Marbled tabbies have more of a swirly pattern, apposed to a classic tabby. Like this: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=12196kl&s=8

Ticked Tabbies:  These kind of tabbies have small little lines of stripes going through their fur; giving them a unique look. They normally have promonent visible stripes on their legs/face/and tail. Like this: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2con909&s=8

Mackeral Tabbies: These tabbies stripes are broken up throughout their pattern. An example of this type of tabby on the wiki would be Hawkfrost, since he was actually confirmed to be a mackeral tabby. Another example would be this:

Pointed Tabbies: These tabbies have little to no stripes on their main body. They mainly have their stripes on their legs, face, and tail, while the rest of them may have stripes that's not very visible, if not none  at all. Like this: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=334ncqr&s=8

If you need me to explain further, tell me. For now, I'd like you to attempt to make a dark brown Mackeral tabby. You can try to impress me by adding textures/lineart edits/ etc, but you dont have too. I'd just like to see where you are at the moment regarding tabbies. Good luck, my dear apprentice~ 16:10, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. That happens alot with that feature. ^^' I just linked you the pictures on Tinypic. You can always just google the patterns yourself to see more examples, though. 16:28, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Hm, i've used that once before, but im not very familiar with it now. May i suggest you downloading Gimp? It's basically a free version of Photoshop; same tools/etc. But if not, i can try to work with you with whatever memory i have of Paint.net :). Next, I'd like you to attempt a ticked tabby. Im curious to see how you'll do on a harder tabby pattern. Im actually planning your next lesson; would you rather me go over Tortie's, Torbie's, Flecked, or mottled next?

Alright. I'll have that up after were finished here. :).  With the ticked tabby, feel free to use whatever pelt color's you wish. Be creative <3  20:37, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Damn, im impressed. He looks amazing =). All i'd say would be to add more visible stripes to his legs (like you did to his tail) and maybe a few on his face. The shading could be defined on his legs, aswell.

Next, i'd like you to try a pointed tabby. This time; im going to see how well you are with lineart edits; so make him have a torn ear and patchy fur. Use any colors; doesnt matter. Just nothing unrealistic; like a purple cat with rainbow stripes, 'kay? (lmao..) Anyways, Your getting so much better <3. 03:28, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Don't discourage yourself. That looks very good! The only things i would say would be to make the stripes a bit more like a classic tabby/ mackeral tabby, that way it won't look like you just connected lines together. The shading is great, aswell. For the patched fur, i'd make it look more like Raggedstar 's fur; as in "patchy" means there are some bare spots of skin where their fur was. What you did looks more like "ragged" fur, but i guess it could go both ways. You did great on that ear, btw. =).

Alright, last but not least, i'd like you to try a mackeral tabby. This time, i want you to make it a blue-gray tabby, with a whtie slash on its chest and white toes, and dark blue eyes on the Starclanner blanks. =). Hm, I'd like you to try the patchy fur i showed you with Raggedstar, this time. Also, try to make it look like one of his eyes are blind/gone. =). This is a bit more challenging, but practice makes perfect.

For now, i'll start on your next lesson. I won't assign you anything until you finish the above assignment, but you can go ahead and read this to get a basic idea.

The difference between Calico's and Tortie's is just that Calico's have patches rather than streaks that mix together, like in a tortie. Calico's normally have more white in their fur, while tortie's normally have more black than white.

Tortie's/Torbies:

There are alot of different Torties, in alot of different colors. Here are some of the main ones:

 Pale Tortie:  Pale tortie's normally have white, cream, light brown/light ginger patches/streaks throughout their fur. Apposed to the classic tortie, they're the diluted version of them (which makes them lighter in color). An example of this would be like Tawnypelt ,or this .

Dark Tortie:  These torties are normally dark in colors; (I.e, dark browns, dark gingers/russets, black) streaks/patches throughout their fur. The complete opposite of the pale tortie. An example of this would be Redtail, or like this.

Torbie:  Torbie's are just really calico's or torties with tabby stripes present in their fur along with their streaks/patches. They can come in pale colors, classic colors or dark colors. An example would be like this.

 Calico:   Calico's are just mulitcolored cats just like Tortie's; except they normally have more white present in their fur, unlike tortie's. Their fur comes in patches (which normally has tabby stripes visible), apposed to the streaks that mix together in a tortie. They can come in a range of colors; from pale, to classic, to dark. An example could be Sorreltail, or like this.

If you need me to go into further detail on any of these, let me know. Also, i will also be quizzing you on harder lineart edits in upcoming assignments; so that way you can have experience once you graduate for some chararts that have a cite for something like that. =).

Good luck, my dear apprentice~  03:06, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Damn, that looks great! His patchy fur looks amazing. =). Hm, I'd add a dorsal stripe on his back, since at that angle it would most likely be visible. You could also smudge his stripes a bit to give him a bit of a furry look =).

Alright, now i'd like you to attempt  a dark tortie using the Ancient tribe Longhaired male blank. Whatever eye color, it doesnt matter. =) This time, i'd like you to try to make him have a stumpy tail; and perhaps a few scars/torn ear.

You're getting so much better <3. You need to teach your mentor how you do your eyes like that *-*.

Planning ahead; What would you like to learn after this lesson? 03:53, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

Hm, Perhaps we'll try flecked or mottled cats next. Also; you've been working hard, so i made you this. =) Good work! 04:39, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

Hm, i wanted you to do some linart edits to him, but it doesnt matter. That looks great, nonetheless. I'd add more streaks, with another shade of darker/brighter ginger/brown.

Next, i'd like you to attempt a calico on the longfurred starclanner blanks. This time, make him have a stumpy tail, a shredded ear, and blind eyes. (This is to get you better at lineart edits; practice makes perfect. So expect lineart practice on your assignments.) Your doing great. =) 06:08, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Thats great. ^^'. The shading is making him look pretty gray on his part spots, though. Im not familiar with the source you used. I'd thin out that shading and lighten/and blur or smudge it. I'd recommend adding more patches, aswell.

Alright, next i'd like you to try a torbie. Make him a white longfurred cat with dark brown and gray tabby patches, with green eyes. I'd like you to try and give him scars. (And add the stumpy tail this time, please. I'd like to see how well you are with that.) Try it with the starclanner blank, again. You're doing great! 19:47, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
