Hawkfrost- For Approval
Well...Here is the first character art that I've made. What say you? Smokeberry 21:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

It's really good for a first image! I just think there are 3 things you could improve on: 1.) Make the eye have a pupil. It looks kinda like it doesn't. 2.) Make the tabby making thinner, blend them a little more, and make them jagged Ys. Use Squirrelflight as an example. 3.) Make the shading a tad bit darker. Other than that, It looks awesome!

Thanks! I'll fix that right away. Smokeberry 21:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

The image has been changed...Is it better now? Smokeberry 21:57, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Smokeberry, you didn't read the notice:One image at a time, so you'll have to wait for Jayfeather and Cinderfur, who by the way don't have their blanks yet. On this one, the tabby markings are dots and lines. Try using the jagged lines like Lionblaze, Squirrelflight, Dustpelt, and Brownpaw, or use the wavy ones like Heathertail -- Mall inois Talk •  Contribs 00:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Mallinois is right Smokeberry. Also, the ear is way too pink - that would need to be sorted as well. Sandy Talk! 08:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * A couple of things: There is no shading that I can see. It needs some. Look on the Approved images to see how to do that; The tabby markings need to look...realistic. Looks at some Approved tabbies for examples; Nothing's blended. Use smudge tool for that. --Warrior♥ 01:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

To add to that, Hawkfrost also has a white underbelly. -- Bramble My Realm 17:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I have fixed it. In my opinion the color is too dark, but then he is evil. Anything else? Smokeberry 23:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I like it dark, because it fit's his personality. I think he still needs more shading though. -- Dawnfeather 11:10, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Just add more shading on the back and the chest, and perhaps on the curve of the leg. I really like this. -- Bramble My Realm 16:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I really like the tabby markings now and think it looks good. I have something to add though - on my computer it is showing up on a white background not transparent and there is a strange black line at the top; is this just me or does it need to be made transparent? Sandy Talk! 16:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Add more shadong, and take away the triangle-ness of the tabby markings, plus the ear is a little dark and there's a black line at the top. Plus, get rid of the markings int he middle of the body. -- Mall inois Talk •  Contribs 20:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Lemme just remove the line, and this will be done. G B 57 02:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There. Approved. G B 57 02:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

What the...? Can someone fix this line before it's posted? Thanks. G B 57 02:58, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

GB, aer you listening? Quite a fwe of us think that there should be some more shading before it is approved. -- Dawnfeather 06:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Wait, GB. Several people still have comments for improvement, and after those have been made the image can be approved. Don't approve the image just because it looks finished to you. Smokeberry, this can definitely be approved soon, just add more shading on the places mentioned above and tweak the markings a little like Mallinois suggested. I can turn it transparent for you if need by after changes have been made. -- Bramble My Realm 13:52, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Very nice! But I think the ear needs to be blended a bit more.--Warrior♥ 14:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I think the ear is a little too dark... you can hardly see it over the dark pelt colour. Sandy Talk! 19:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

He looks awesome. ^-^ -- MU MB LE 785  22:43, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem, buddy. :) It was easily fixed. -- Bramble My Realm 23:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

GB, don't feel bad. As you said, everyone makes mistakes, and this one doesn't matter, as it was easily and effortlessy fixed. I do agree that this is SO CLOSE to being ready for approval though. :D --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 07:46, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Is this better? Smokeberry 00:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Beautiful. The ear pink still needs to be lighter, as I think it looks too red at the moment, and I think Sandy mentioned that, too. Other than that, this is extremely close to being ready for approval. -- Bramble My Realm 17:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Also there is some blurry grey stuff outside the outline on his chest. That needs to be fixed Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Talk! 18:10, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The outlines blurred in several places. It is quite pretty otherwise.-- Darkhallows Lair 08:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

The outline is a little blurred, and the marking on the tail could be toned down quite a bit... Otherwise, you have some great looking artwork. --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color;Navy; background:Silver; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds:1em; color:Navy;">Mallinois Herding Talk 12:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

We don't really pay attention to things in the pictures unless they've been confirmed by Erin Hunter. It never says he's longhaired in the books, I don't think. Just a dark tabby with ice blue eyes and a white underbelly. -- Bramble My Realm 16:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Morningflower-For Approval



 * My second, tortie, and my first elder. The elder blanks show up black for me, can someone fix that? I fixed up this one, though. Tell me what you think of it. -- Mlns tlk • C 14:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

She looks good, but i think you might need a little more ginger fur. She looks too dark, and I think it's because of the black. But, otherwise, it's good. ;) -- MU MB LE 785  19:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, the separation between the white and the black on the neck looks unnatural. Play around with the shape a bit more, or extend the white up into the face and make those common white-face markings. Other than that, and what Mumble just said, this is really good. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 02:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

It is better. I think the ear pink, although it is the right colour is slightly too big for her ear, especially as the fur is black. Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Talk! 18:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I think that you should extend the white on the neck up onto the face, the way the is common amoung cats. also, the ginger patch on the front shoulder is an awkard shape. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 01:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Instead of making an upward arch with the white into the face area, level with the eye, drop in down a bit and make it arch the other way. Also, extend the white that is on the face in a tendril up the nose. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 23:52, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

You need to put shading on the chest, muzzle, tail, back, legs and head. It needs to be blended well into the pelt without blurring the lineart. Good luck Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Talk! 09:32, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Pretty good! I was hoping to make a charrie art for Mousefur, but you beat me to it. :/ But isn't she a tabby? Smokeberry 23:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

No, she is just a "dusky-brown she-cat" and the picture approved isn't a tabby. Please! It can't be perfect, what can I improve on?Minnowclaw 23:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Minnowclaw

Hmmm, add shading on the curve of her hind leg, her forehead, and her foreleg. Also blur the shading you have, especially on the belly area. The ear pink needs to be more pink, as it looks violet to me at the moment. And, as Sandy said, take care not to blend the lineart. Other than those things, this is a great first image. :) -- Bramble My Realm 02:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

You need to work on the shading and ear pink as Bramble said. This hasn't been worked on since the 3rd which is a week. Please work on this image else it will have to be declined. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 11:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Add more extended shading on the spots you have already shaded, as well as adding shading on the forelegs. Blend thoroughly, and add ear pink. -- Bramble My Realm 02:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Lots better than the one I had a go at last night. White cats can't be done the way i'm doing mine, at least in the apprentice blanks. I like it, but i think that you should add some more shading.

Add shading on legs and blend everything like Sandy said. Try adding some color to it a bit.

A Guide to Shading?
This idea may suck. But it seems like a lot of new people on PCA are asking how to shade. I was thinking that maybe we could make some sort of page with tutorials on different styles and where to put shading (I'm sure everyone has issues with this sometimes). Again, I don't know how well this would work. -- Darkhallows Lair 04:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. There are lots of different ways to shade cats, and different ways to make tabby markings, markings in general, ears, and even eyes. New ways are being thought of all the time too. For example - my apprentices. We haven't even really figured out how to shade the elders yet, as only one has been approved so far (to my knowledge). I just don't think it would work. Everyone learns in time. I've only been here two months and a few people are applauding my efforts. I'm not exactly against the idea, it's just i'm not sure how it would work. Has anyone got any thoughts or suggestions? --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 05:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Two elders :P. Yeah, I don't know if it COULD work. But then, like I said, there could be guides on different styles? Or each player could have their own section if they wanted. -- Darkhallows Lair 05:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I was actually thinking of Shadepelt! Never occured to me that I had made an approved colouring of an elder. Ah well. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I like that idea too. I wouldn't mind being a mentor, in say, a month, even though i'm not aa experienced as you senior warriors. I know quite a few shading techniques. Maybe we should let the leader (Bramble, you rock!) choose who the mentors could be, because even with our large amount of senior warriors, we wouldn't have enough to mentor every new comer, even the people who are struggling now. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 23:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I can see what you're trying to do here, but to achieve it, you need a bit darker shaind on the front, and the back has to bit a bit lighter.

Silver tabbies usually have a silver body with dark stripes. But I do really love the texture. Nice job Mal.-- Darkhallows Lair 19:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The ear pink is a strange shape and needs to be more trianglular and blended into the pelt. Also... she is a tabby but she only has about five tabby stripes; I think she needs some more stripes on her head, legs etc and I think that they do need to be darker to make it realistic.

Okay, I'm really nervous about putting up art. You guys are a little intimidating. Here's my Birchfall. The changes are taking some time to come up, so the version you see might not be the most recent.

Hey Sparrow, welcome to project charart! There's no need to be intimidated; the point of this is to make art, give advise to other users on how to improve their art and to have fun whilst adding to the character pages :) I personally agree with the comments Sandwich and Goldencloud have made and would like to add that blending the ear pink and shading into the pelt more will give it a more realistic look. It might help to remove the tabby markings whilst you get the shading and colour right, then add them on again - that's how I always attempt tabbies.

I reduced the blurriness a bit. I’ll work on it some more later tonight/tomorrow. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 20:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

You sharpened it... not blurred. Either that, or it's from being a jpeg. Try using .PNG-- Darkhallows Lair 21:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I blurred the shadows as much as I could...does it seem better now? Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 00:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, anything else I can fix? Something is still bothering me about this picture. Should I put in highlights? (And how do I do that on pixlr, anyways?) Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

The iris looks grey, it needs to be some color. On highlights, I don't use pixlr, so you'll have to wait for someone who does to comment. Other than that, I think this is pretty good. Oh, and do you want to officially join the project? I can add you in on the main page as warriors. -- Bramble My Realm 16:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Either that, or being blind. :) I like him, but on his page it says his eyes are yellow, and these are green. I can try and check that if you want, I'm not sure if that's verifiable. -- Bramble My Realm 13:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I confess that i made him from the description in the Sunrise allgiances, which says nothing about eye colour, so i went with green randomly. I have changed it now. :P --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I decided to colour a warrior as I haven't done one in a while :) Sandy <font color="Purple">Talk! 13:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oooh, Sandy, love your new sig. :) I think the shading on the black part of the pelt is too dark and distinct. Maybe lighten and blend it a little bit? -- Bramble My Realm 13:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Bramble; I was getting bored of the old one :) I've lightened the shading as much as possible and blended it more. I also remembered to make the background transparent! [I always forget that] Sandy <font color="Purple">Talk! 14:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I said I wouldn't post again today... but where exactly and in what way Warrior? Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 16:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I blended the shading right into the pelt in an attempt to make it less... wrong Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 16:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Extend the white pelt over the eye. It looks odd to have it stop right at the eye, or at least to me. -- Bramble My Realm 22:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Reuploaded: I messed around with the patches on the head and I think this looks better Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 12:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Blend the white by his head a bit. I can see a distinct line beyond the original blurring. -- Bramble My Realm 16:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Swallowtail - For Approval


I wanted to test out Dawnfeather's beautiful blanks, so I tried my hand at Swallowtail, a RiverClan elder. I'm not sure if the highlights look good, so please critique! -- Bramble My Realm 22:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually Bramble, you're your usual amazing self. I love how you did the tabby markings. I was hoping that those would be do-able with the blanks! Again, this is really good. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I hope nobody minds me commenting. The only thing is that the colors are very dark - or, atleast, on my computer. I honestly though she was black until I increased the brightness on my computer screen. Mosswisker&amp;Stealthfire 19:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

It might be your computer, becuase i can tell that shes brown. The pictures very good. <font color="Yellow" style="background:Orange">Sandwich <font color="Blue" style="background:Green">989 22:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

This is definitely brown. It's really beautiful Bramble. You just need to change the eye colour to green as Mal said and it'll be reday in my opinion. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 11:26, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Changed the eye color to green. It even looks prettier to me with that color. :) Anything else? -- Bramble My Realm 15:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I hope this is better than my Whitewing...<font color="Yellow" style="background:Orange">Sandwich <font color="Blue" style="background:Green">989 04:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

He looks fine, but the outline is blurred in a few places, and he could use some highlights. To prevent this (in GIMP, at least) paste TWO images down on two layers, hit 'ctrl' + 'L' to bring up the layers menu, and click on the top layer. Then click on the wand tool and bring it to the white areas and click on delete. Then you have just the lines. Click on the bottom layer, and color that in... If that makes sense xD.-- Darkhallows Lair 19:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll fix the outlines. But what you said, does it mean I have to start all over? <font color="Yellow" style="background:Orange">Sandwich <font color="Blue" style="background:Green">989 22:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, i have the whole shading thing down, but the last thing i need to know is how to highlight.<font color="Yellow" style="background:Orange">Sandwich <font color="Blue" style="background:Green">989 22:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

In the program I use (Photoshop), there's a dodge tool, and it looks like a small microphone. Just run that along the edge of the shading and it should produce a nice-looking highlight. -- Bramble My Realm 16:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

It said black, or possibly gray and white. Personally, i always imagined her as black, but that is just my personal opinion. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I love the stripes Dawn. She looks great! I think she could use a little more belly shading though.-- Darkhallows Lair 19:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I LOVE HER, but I have to agree with dawn. Stretch the between-the-front-and-back-legs shding towards the back a little bit. Other than that, she looks almost EXACTLY like Millie!!! -- MU MB LE 785  19:57, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

DO NOT REDO THE TABBY MARKINGS. They look great! Personally, I prefer this style of tabby markings over the other kind. Nothing against any of those tabbies, though, they still look good. I love her eye color. --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;cyan; background:black; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:cyan;"> Goldencloud 22:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

REUPLOADED. I added in some more shading. If you liek these markings, you'll like Tigerclaw's better. They are the same style, but his are a bit neater. Speaking of Tigerclaw -- is he llong haired or short haired. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 22:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Rosekit- For Approval
I used the same shading as I did with Blossom. I wanted her to be long-haired, and a a nice looking image... but my GIMP froze and I lost it. Soo I have this. The whole 'dark cream' thing was confusing- Cream is a diluted ginger (I think) so dark cream would be similar to light ginger? Whatever, here she is.-- Darkhallows Lair 19:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I love her!!! But she could use some more shading inder the head, and between the front legs. ;) Nice work!!! -- MU MB LE 785  19:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Haha I just noticed we both reserved Rosekit. :) You reserved her first, and got her uploaded first, so I'll let you have it. Mine looks waaaaay different than yours. Yours is a lot lighter, and I didn't put any tabby markings. I imagined dark cream as being more of a rosy ginger color. Yours looks more like a smoky pale brown. But maybe that's just me. Also try making the tabby markings less saturated, they look kind of odd against the diluted fur. Do I sound harsh? I don't mean to... --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;cyan; background:black; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:cyan;"> Goldencloud 22:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Cream is a real color in cats. It's like a diluted ginger tabby. I agree that the color isn't perfect tough. I'll try and fix that.-- Darkhallows Lair 02:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Made her more red. -- Darkhallows Lair 02:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it looks better now. I know about the whole cream thing, I had just pictured "rose"kit as being slightly more reddish. The only thing I suggest is maybe making the stripes less orange. But if it doesn't look good then you don't have to. It just still looks...funny to me. --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;cyan; background:black; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:cyan;"> Goldencloud 03:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Her body is on an angle, which is why the tabby stripes look funny. Her right, our left, tabby markings should be shorter, and her other side tabby markings should probably be a teansy bit longer. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather

Once again this may be my computer but can you make sure the background's transparent as it's showing up black right now. I like the colour but I think there are too many tabby markings on her sides and they're way too close together and kind of... bright. Sandy <font color="IceBlue">Talk! 09:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

This seems fine. But don't color the herbs (?). -- Darkhallows Lair 02:30, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea to color the herbs. Unless we don't mind the herbs in all the medicine cats' mouths to possibly different colors. --<span style="font-family:Anime Ace; color;cyan; background:black; border:2px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:cyan;"> Goldencloud 03:41, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we should colour the herbs in the blanks. The outline of the herbs should be a bit thicker, and should extend a bit further up as if they were in the mouth, not under the chine! A bit of chin has to be consealed by the hearbs to do this. Just put it were you think that the mouth should be, only a few pixels higher. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:21, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

No, don't colour the herbs; there are so mnay different types of leaves they could be carrying that we may as well leave it up to whoever colours the cat to decide what colour green they should be - it will add to the individuality of each pixel.

Medicine cat blanks


I did as you asked, Bramble, and made Medicine cat blanks of all of them, but i didn't do the apprentices as someone (Sorry, i forgot to check!) has already started on some, and I think that they are better than mine. I didn't uploaded them onto the actual page as i don't know how to put them in there.



I also added this picture of Leafpool to prove that they work, although the blanks by themselves look a bit weird. --<span style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC; color;Orange; background:Gray; border:1px solid; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Orange;"> Dawnfeather 06:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
