Sweetbriar (Ki) ~ For Evaluation
I sucked at this TBH, definitely with the smudging and blurring and the chest. I copied Sweetbriar's queen onto GIMP and copied the colours then discarded the copied image of Sweetbriar. Not that GIMP was being nice to me, messing up the colours. I also learned today kit images are so damn hard to make. Morale of the story: Kits suck, both in personality and looks. --

lessen the white on her paws,and it should be a patch on her chest, not the entire thing. 09:16, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Re-upload Also, should I darken the shading? I put it at 50.00 layer opacity. (I do layer opacity rather than pencil opacity, pencil opacity is messy IMO.) -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 06:30, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

You can choose whichever method is easier for you. I use layer opacity myself, as I can never get pencil opacity to work properly on my images. Also, for reference, the base is #967758, and there is a slight texture on the image, although it's very hard to tell because of the stripes. Speaking of those, the color is #291004 with the layer on "multiply" and the opacity of said layer at 65%. I do still have the .psd for this handy, so I'd be more than willing to send this your way if you use a program that can access these files and you feel okay with me having your email address.

Re-upload Went through the idea to darken the shading. Now it's a 60.0 opacity. I would be fine with giving you my email but me is pretty sure I have nothing to process a .psd. Thanks for the colours, though! I kinda redid the stripes because fill would cover Sweet(kit)briar's face and make it look blotchy as I added the stripe colours. I'm not sure on what to do with the texture, though. Where do you guys see it? (and also although my use of me is pretty incorrect I've used it for four years so YOU CAN'T STAPH ME) (edit: Noticed I didn't leave a sig. Oops, here it is and with the wrong date!)

For your future reference .psd files do work with GIMP. Anyway define light on the tail

Smudge the stripes?  ~ Silver Cloud ~  15:28, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Re-upload The stripes are smudged, but I couldn't do it too much unless I wanted a really blurry image. I was toying around with the rate and size for a rather long time. Also reduced the white on the belly because there was too much obscuring the stripes and it scattered little dirty faint white marks on the stripes and fur. Also darkened the shading a bit more and holy god Sweetbriar looks like a phantom with 100.0 shading opacity. Right now the shading's at 65.0. --

Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 22:28, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps blur the edges and f the white some so they fade out more since it looks a little sharper than her other image

Re-upload This good enough? Still playing with the rate and size. I tried blurring at size 2 and rate 60. 80 makes her look like a blurry mess, me thinks! --

Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 00:34, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Possibly add some more shading depth to your image? Put some more, darker shading onto another layer above the current shading layer, and just use it around the edges where not a whole lot of light would shine, to wherever your source is coming from. Also, it does appear that the queen image you have to match has a slight texture to it, which I'm assuming is from smudging the stripes and shading slightly, @Skye? You might also have to add a few more stripes along the legs and back area. 02:51 Mon Aug 2016

No, there's an actual texture below the stripes, but it's really faint.

REUPLOAD -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 06:14, August 22, 2016 (UTC)

The shading looks really dense, and I can't distinguish anything underneath it. Could you perhaps lighten it a bit and then make it a bit more of a gradient? Also, with the light source, the shading seems to go a bit high up on the tail and looks a bit squiggly on the <-- paw.

Smudge the white chest a bit. 00:28, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

Didn't post on the 23rd cause I was really sick. Anyways, Reupload -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 05:50, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

I still think the shading is really hard-edged everywhere, and especially on the paws.

RE-UPLOAD This is the best I can do. -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 06:43, August 25, 2016 (UTC)

I believe you still need to add more stripes throughout the image as well as the texture needed to match the queen image. 13:39 Fri Aug 2016

Re-upload redid the stripes. The right side (right to us left to sweetbriar) hasn't been drawn in so I get to pick what she looks like around there. Woop! -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 02:10, August 27, 2016 (UTC)

The top of the white looks like it's covered over a bit something? Might just be me. Also, the white on the back paw looks like it is leaking away from the lineart quite a bit. Maybe define the texture a bit to match the queen more, and define the shading on the neck area.

I'll try doing it this afternoon - my day is very busy today. -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 21:39, August 28, 2016 (UTC)

Re-upload did it yesterday but forgot to upload it, woopsie! -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 07:39, August 30, 2016 (UTC)

Hmm...I think the white on the chest could be smoothed out a bit more as well as the earpink, as it looks a little too defined. 11:49 Wed Aug 2016

In addition, I think the earpink extends down a little too far out of ---> ear. 20:02, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

Maybe define the earpink shading, and I also can't see the texture so could you define it more to match the queen? Also, on her other image the stripes of her tail extend all the way to the tip, so would you mind adding a few more further up? One other thing, the white on her chest looks really sharp up top, but this really looks great for your first charart!

Re-upload Thanks Spook. Before I tried Sweetbriar, I tried toying around with some mock-up chararts, some just random charries I made up as I went on my way with drawing, and I came up with the best name for one spotty and stripy cat I made slightly based on Leopardstar: "Rather Spotty and Stripy StarClanner." Best name ever. Back to the charart: I did have some stripes on the tip of the tail; however, I blurred it too much. I redefined them this upload. By the way, I think I've personally nailed a lot of this art (totally not vain, what do you mean I am not haughty or proud I'm humble what the heck you mean) but how is this texture gotten? I can't make it for the life of me. I think it's from blurring and smudging the shading and stripes... A storm today sent my internet bust and when I could work on it (came back around 5. The internet blew over before 1) I only worked on this at 8 in the night -- my brother went on vacation to Bathurst (some really historic place, has a LOT of stuff from the Australian Gold Rush which happened from the 1850's to the 1890's. Also really snowy weather there but this vacation was too late to see snow.) and it was really tiring getting back. Oh well -- I got a koala plushie from his trip to the gift shop, so... yay? -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 10:49, September 2, 2016 (UTC)

Define the texture? 12:09 Sat Sep 2016

The texture isn't all that defined on the queen, so I think it's fine. Also, darken the stripes a bit, as they're a fair bit darker on the other image.

Re-upload I just went over the middle of the stripes, then blurred them at the rate of 90. I toned down the rate to 60 for the tail. -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!) 09:43, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

Could you sharpen and darken the stripes? They seem a bit more blurred and light than the other image

Define the shading just a touch. 23:35, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if he needs this or not,i was just bored 11:03, September 3, 2016 (UTC)

Lighten the shading some? It looks a tad too dark. 04:12 Sun Sep 2016

Define the light on the two front paws?

Maybe add some depth to the belly shading?

Re-ups 18:23, September 5, 2016 (UTC)

Idk if it's just me, but there's a tiny spot on the left elbow where the shading seems to be leaking away from the lineart a bit

How do you people charart?? How the **** did I charart??????? How did I kit blank? o.O

Did you have the file? I got the file from Fox a while back if you need it :) 13:13, 9/05/2016

Nope lmao I completely forgot there even was a thing called files and just absolutely screwed this into a mess xP it'd be great if you can send the files to saito.yukina@gmail.com ^^

Sent! 13:48, 9/05/2016

All colors from kit. Comments? 00:12, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Added her torn eartip. 00:25, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

the shading seems to be receding from her stomach/behind the shoulder area. 15:15, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

Violetpaw (A) - For Approval
Precious magpie-kitty. All colors are from the kit file.

Define the light source? On the legs/paws the shading is on the right, but on the head and shoulder it seems to be on the left.

she's gonna need amber eyes too, jayce. 15:13, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

ignore that 01:21, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

Can you possibly make the texture on the shoulder a bit more "in the fur direction"( wth does that even mean )? Right now it's just diagonal lines across.

'''Reuploaded. '''I wasn't very happy with his overall texture so I redid it. I also darkened the shading a bit. ~P  a   t   c   h    f   e   a   t   h   e   r~   13:16, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

I see a line next to the ear xP I don't know what it is, but it's gone when you click into the image??? Am I the only one who sees that line o.O

The shading's seeking from the.... butt/hind leg/tail area, and can you unblur the shading overall to define the shading and light source a bit more?^^

Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but isn't she supposed to be silver? This looks relatively close to a darker gray. 03:27, 9/06/2016

So chubby <3 01:35 Tue Sep 6

Perhaps define belly/chest shading more? This is soooo lovely <333

Reuploaded Thanks Silver <3 I also expanded the brown since he is supposed to have white splotches, not brown...oops lol. 02:18 Tue Sep 6

Define the muzzle shading just a tiny bit? This is neat

reploaded 02:45, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

Define the tail shading a little? If it is just my screen making it difficult to see, then by all means disregard this. 03:53 Tue Sep 6
