Featherpaw (A) - For Approval
I did my best. Tigerbird-The-Great 01:03, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Can you darken/define the shading? And tone the earpink down some, it looks a little bright. You can just run the burn tool over it a few times, and that should do the trick. I like those eyes. 1:13 Fri Sep 5

Smear a bit of the fur into the ears 18:02, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded.Tigerbird-The-Great 01:19, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Smudge some more fur into the ears. Still looks a bit solid. 04:31, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Oh and define the light on all four paws^^ 19:45, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Maybe lighten she shading just a tick? The stripes are getting a little lost. Nice job! 9:00 PM, Sat Sep 6, 2014

This is beautiful! I feel so proud right now Define the light on the lower part of the tail, and possibly the shading on the tailtip? 11:39, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Still working? 15:48, September 11, 2014 (UTC)

I will update soon. Tigerbird-The-Great 23:47, September 12, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. I cannot smudge any fur into the ears. I need opinions. Tigerbird-The-Great 00:51, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Add more stripes. 11:27, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Tigerbird-The-Great 21:07, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible to make the pattern look more natural? If you look at other tabby chararts or a real life tabby, that'd be a good reference. 08:52, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

Tigerbird, referring to an earlier upload when you said you can't smudge the fur into the ears, you can if you raise the rate of the smudge tool(depending on what program you use) and it'll smudge for you. Shinx, we have had a debate in the past on the image Aspenfall when he was up for approval. We ended up deeming it natural and let it pass. I think if Tigerbird maybe had the markings curve more to the fur it'd look more natural, but the actual pattern I think could work unless someone says otherwise. I'm just remembering a past similarity. Lol. Keep it up, Tiger! 12:29, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Aspenfall and Featherpaw are two totally different pelt types, Darkfrost. Gray/white placement on those cats, to my knowledge, is not totally required to be placed realistically. Tabby stripes, however, are (sadly; I hate realism and I think it's stupid to force it on others), so they should be made a bit more natural. Also, please keep in mind that one user does not speak for the entire project (so using 'we' and things like that isn't necessary, since most of the members who were around at that time are long gone), and I agree with Shinx about the stripes.

Reuploaded. I'll work on the ear smudging. Tigerbird-The-Great 22:25, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

I can't smudge the ear fur since I use Pixlr and the smudging turns out black when I try to use it. Tigerbird-The-Great 22:28, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Isn't this supposed to be called File:Featherpaw (WC).apprentice.png? 23:36 Thu Sep 18

No the file name is correct. It's normal to put an underscore instead of a space. 18:20, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Um, no it's not correct. What Hawky has linked is the correct file name, so please use it. We need File:Name.rank.png, otherwise it does not work in the least with the templates. Tiger, I've told you this before =P

I'm sorry, but I know there are several files with -name-_(SC).rank that I've seen, so I just assumed the (WC) was supposed to be like (SC) is. 02:07, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

When I try to put a space, it changes to an underscore. Tigerbird-The-Great 16:55, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

That's not what I was talking about. The underscore is fine. But, it needs to follow the exact naming guidelines that we have, and what Hawky has is the proper file name, changing it to an underscore is the exact same thing.

Oh my bad. I thought it was about the underscore but I see what you're talking about now. Carry on :3 20:50, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

I think the shading can be darkened a bit, and the stripes stylized a little more so they don't look as paintbrushed. Perhaps smudge them? Also, can you unblur the ear pink towards the edges of the ear? I think it might have been overblurred a bit..

Re Uploaded. I unblurred the earpink edges and smudged the stripes as good as possible. Tigerbird-The-Great 17:38, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Here is your redline upon request: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5jzaww&s=8. Its not the best; im sorry about that, but i hope it helps. Define the overall shading.-- 18:13, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Sorry if there is white all over the image, I am currently trying to fix that. Tigerbird-The-Great 19:30, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Did you save the image as a jpg? If so, just convert it to a png. 8:11 PM, Sat Sep 27, 2014

No, it's a png file. Tigerbird-The-Great 20:20, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm. Try putting it back into Pixlr or Paint or something and clearing out the background again. If that doesn't work I can easily download the pic and try myself, if you'd like. 8:24 PM, Sat Sep 27, 2014

Suddenly, the text is green-ish? Darken the stripes a bit, I can hardly see them. 12:48, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that too  Define the light on the tail. What program do you use? 12:53 Sun Sep 28

Still working, Tiger?

Ancient Tribe Blanks ~ For Approval


(ill crop all of the extra space on the next upload.) Comments? 03:56, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Why do those look slightly different from these? o.o The blanks should be pixel-like, how the ones in your PI are. Also, if you just want to put one long-haired and one short-haired up, that's fine, that way we don't have four extra images. You can just add eyelashes/remove them, depending on which set you have first. The only difference between male and female ones here are the eyelashes.

Because, I tweaked them a bit. I can easily make them pixelated: I just didn't have enough time right this second. I thought I'd just go ahead and post them now, so I can fix anatomy errors while I'm fixing other issues. ^^` -- 04:19, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Elongate the body, and perhaps make the ears a bit thinner. Jayie Unwritten words~ 04:28, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Well, like the other blanks, they do have to be pixelated. I wasn't sure that you were aware of that or not, so I figured that informing you would be a good idea. If you could please do that, I would appreciate it. I won't comment much aside from small issues- anatomy is not my strong point.

Maybe flatten the rump a bit. 06:35, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Add a bit more fluff to the longhaired tails? I told you you'd win! 07:59, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

For the longhaired blanks add more fluffiness all around. 3:05 PM, Mon Sep 15, 2014

Would you like a redline? 15:52 Mon Sep 15 2014

Also, in generally I'd recommend flipping them so they don't get confused with the elder blanks. 15:53 Mon Sep 15 2014

Try smoothing rounding out the line about the shoulder, and maybe make the line for the chest reach all the way down? Sorry if I'm being unclear, I'm crap at wording things >< 16:36, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

The forepaw that goes on top of the other one goes up awkwardly, so maybe try to show that it's connected to the leg? Sorry I am really terrible at explaining stuff like this. 20:31 Mon Sep 15

Re-uploaded. Better? ^^' I dont have a tablet, so drawing these with a mouse is difficult. ^^' But, i tried to add all of the above. Im aware that i have to fix the eye on the shorthaired blank, and the ear on the longfurred blank. Im aware of some issues, but i didnt have enough time to fix them on this upload. ^^'-- 02:23, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

They still have to be pixelated, and Breezey's suggestion for flipping them so they don't get confused with the elders is a really good idea. ^^

Make it so this > front paw doesn't look so short and almost rectangle-like. Make it more curved like < this one. These are really good. ^.^ 03:08, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Uhm so I forgot to reflip them around but the image is the same. Here are some redlines. 3:17 Tue Sep 16 2014

Elongate the body more, lower/flatten the rump a bit especially on the longhair, make the tail way fuller, and flatten the forehead a bit. Jayie Unwritten words~ 03:18, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Breezy told me the redlines could be used as a reference, or just lined directly over. The redline helped greatly; thank you, Raelic. Better?-- 04:27, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

This looks really good. :) The only thing I can think of is make the tail even fluffier. Look how full this tail is compared to the rest of the cat: http://thornews.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/norsk-skogkatt1.jpg I can do redlines for the tail if you want. Jayie  Unwritten words~ 04:29, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Also, make the shorthair tail a bit thinner. Jayie Unwritten words~ 04:34, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to add a bit more fluff to the longhairs all over, methinks. 08:48, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

The lines could be a little bit thinner. i'm still so glad these won because that pose if beautiful imho   Brick   14:45, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

It could probably only be thinner in certain places. I think, comparing it to some of the other blanks we have, they're around the same thickness.

The neck kinda resembles a dragon neck. Can you bring the neck line behind the head a few pixels closer to the nose side of the head? Like move that line over >>>> this way more. 20:35 Tue Sep 16

Can you elongate the body just a tick more? 8:44 PM, Tue Sep 16, 2014

Re-uploaded. I'd rather not elongate it anymore, it looks fine to me. Moved the neck line, fluffified the longfurred more, and made the short fur tail thinner. Better?-- 21:51, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

The arm on <<< this side looks awkward. Move the chest line <<<< more so that the chest appears larger. 23:57 Tue Sep 16

Make the longhair tail fluffier with a tiny bit more of a point to it (look at the Queen and Elder blanks to see what I mean) and the shorthair tail should be even skinnier. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:11, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I think it might be fluffy enough, it just need a bit more of a tapering off at the end. It's the shorthair that needs to be much skinnier. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:59, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Lengthen the visible back leg? It looks a bit short to me.--EosOfTheDawn (talk) 18:10, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

I think for the back leg if you erase a bit of the line separating the leg from the foot it may help. Do you want me to give you a redline? 7:11 PM, Thu Sep 18, 2014

redline as per request. I think if you move the tail out away from the foot a bit more, and elongate the foot and erase a bit of that line it'll help. <span style="">11:19 PM, Thu Sep 18, 2014

I think the shorthair tail should be thinner than that, personally. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:40, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I'd thicken the ruff on the longhair's neck 03:26, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

I will reupload soon. =) Probably sometime this weekend.-- 02:30, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Better?-- 01:03, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Make the tail on the shorthair thinner, and have more of a tapering off for the tip of the long-haired tail. The thickest part of the tail should be the middle. Jayie Unwritten words~ 01:14, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

I did that in the last upload. Do you want me to add more?-- 01:22, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yes. It looks like you added more bulk to the top of the tail, instead of thinning out the top of the tail and adding more bulk to the middle of the tail. Would you like me to redline? And yes to thinning out the shorthair tail. It's close, it just needs to be a bit thinner, especially when compared to the longhair tail. Jayie Unwritten words~ 01:27, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Give the longhair some more floof on the tail. <span style="">1:40 Thu Sep 25

Don't forget to reupload, Breeze. While you aren't required to match the "week limit" without uploads on blanks (that would not be fair in the least, as these require much more time), it's probably a good idea to let us know what kind of progress you've made.

Whiskernose (E) - For Approval
Somebody fix my alignment I don't know how :( So, I'm a little worried about this one. Thoughts? EosOfTheDawn (talk) 18:07, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

What'cha worried about? He's looking amazing. Darken and define the shading a bit, though. ^^

Re-uploaded Thanks! EosOfTheDawn (talk) 17:22, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the shading some more, but not too much. Just try to define the depth of it. Cloudy is right, this is looking very nice!! 23:22, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

still working? 07:43, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

There's waste all around the image. Jayie Unwritten words~ 14:28, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up Still working, just been busy. I'm rubbish at shading... Here 'cause changes aren't showing: http://tinypic.com/r/10qcjd1/8 EosOfTheDawn (talk) 18:15, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

There's waste all around the image. Also, the shading still seems kinda flat. <span style="">23:05 Wed Sep 24

Actually Hawky, on tinypic -visually, anyway- there was no more waste. But I agree with the shading part. 17:17, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Stormcloud (A) ~ For Approval
First, yes I know it's the wrong filename, could someone please rename it for me? I messed up. Second, I'll fix the eyes next upload. 23:29, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Define the tail shading just a bit.

Re-ups I think wikia's being a butt but we'll see. 23:38, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

define the shading thats not on the tail, especially on the face. 07:49, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups  09:47, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

The tinting on the shading seems almost the exact color if the stripes. Maybe lighten the tint just a click? The stripes almost blend with the shading so I can't see them. If I don't make sense feel free to say so lol 02:21, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

I can't change the tint- I'm not using one. I use black shading. I can lighten the shading itself, if you want, but then  I'll probably get asked to define it again. 08:49, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Just lighten it a tad? Not too much so you don't see it but so it doesn't blend too much. I use black too xD I just know some who tint so I wasn't sure if you were one. 12:35, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Haha, fair enough. Re-ups  13:11, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Comments? 15:49, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

The pattern on his belly seems to get lost in the shading. 17:37, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Played with some opacities  08:28, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Play with the shading color a bit because the stripes are getting lost in it still. Maybe lighten it so it's not as thick? 03:45, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups 18:49, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Dawnpelt (Q) ~ For Approval
When I get this approved I'll be a warrior. c: Shading is smudged once again, but only slightly so I won't mind blurring some but I won't do it too much. Comments? EDIT -- I don't think wikia is showing changes so here~ .. 02:17, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading. 09:24, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I wasn't happy with it anyway :3 Now I am. If changes are not showing.. 13:10, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Oooh, I like this shading style. Define the light source- the legs say it's coming from the front, but the head and tail say the back. 14:07, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Thanks!! c: And yeah dem stupid short-haired tails x.x. I hope the face shading is alright I spent a while on it lol. 18:31, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Expand the belly shading? 15:29, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Smooth out the smudges so they don't seem as visible. I think when you're smudging the shading, say if you smudge it vertically, you should probably also smudge it a bit horizontally as well to make blend the shading a little better. Beebs and David both have wonderful examples of smudging on queens, and Paleh's charart, Lilyfur's queen is another marvelous (and very neat) example.

Re-uploaded. Went ahead and redid the shading. I loved both Beebs and David's style but I wanted to try out how Paleh did the amazing shading style. So I tried. :D If changes are not showing.. 19:37, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Oh that shading is amazing~! Maybe just fedine the edges a little bit? <span style="">9:34 PM, Wed Sep 24, 2014

Re-uploaded. Thanks!! :D If changes are not showing~ 02:09, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

darken the shading, i cant see it at all. 10:16, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. 13:01, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Define the facial shading.

Re-uploaded. 22:07, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Comments? 11:19, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

It hasn't even been two days, Darkfrost. Please don't ask for comments unless it's been at least three- anything less than that is making people seem impatient. Define the light a bit on all four legs, face, and tail.

Re-uploaded. Sorry, I honestly thought it was the 29th that day, and I couldn't remove it after posting. The weekend goes by too fast. *.* 12:29, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Give the shading a bit more depth 15:26, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I'd prefer not to touch the shading anymore~ 23:12, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I think in certain spots, it could be darkened. In general, here's where I think it could be. It's as simple as adding another layer of shading just in those spots.

Re-uploaded. Added that layer. And thanks for being specific, because I was getting lost with the other comments and it seemed like I was doing the same stuff over and over again, which is why I just said I don't want to touch it anymore. ;) 00:30, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Comments? 17:11, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Again, Darkfrost. It hasn't been three days or more yet, so please be patient. After three days, then it's fine. I told you before that anything before that is not okay to start asking for comments. I think perhaps the shading could be thinned out on all four legs, since it appears rather thick in some places and initally made me think your color was off. Plus, some images do go without comments and then they get a CBA. It's standard to go a couple days without comments before getting one of those.

Seedpaw (Alt Star) - CBA
I tried. Brick 09:54, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading on the head and paws? 10:09, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups, http://i61.tinypic.com/hwwkdj.png Brick  11:28, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Would you like the file for the kit? <span style="">20:26 Thu Sep 25

^ Yes please :3 Brick   21:57, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Can you blur the flecks/spots? Tigerbird-The-Great 19:32, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

On her kit image, they don't appear to be too blurred, so I'd rather not. But if someone else agrees, I'll blur them more. Brick  20:00, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

On the kit image, I motion blurred the stripes. Did you receive the file? <span style="">23:13 Sat Sep 27

Re-ups, ^ Yeah. I tried using Motion Blur, but I could not get the angle right so I just tried blurring them slightly. I also changed the tint of the shading to match the kit and apprentice that's up for approval. Brick  08:45, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

I used the "distort" filter as well. To make the image, I drew random squiggly lines with the pencil tool. Then, I went to "Filters" >" Distorts" > "Shift". I shifted it horizontally one pixel, and then vertically one pixel. Then, I motion blurred the stripes at an top right angle at rate two. I can give you a redline for the tabby pattern to help you out and give you an idea, and then you could use the filters yourself and see what happens. Also, I know this isn't mandatory, but I used a red tint of shading and smudged it with a hard edge 1px brush. <span style="">13:30 Sun Sep 28

Can I withdraw this? I just caught a cold that's really zapped my motivation and I just don't feel like I can handle character art for a little while. Brick  18:30, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Of course! I'll take over if no-one minds. <span style="">22:34 Mon Sep 29

Uploaded. I'll flip the next table. <span style="">23:29 Mon Sep 29

You're a kit, so the heading should say "For Evaluation". Anyway, not bad! Define the leg shading. 14:37, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Might as well keep it at "for approval" anyways, since this is more than qualified to get Vixen to the apprentice rank, which is exactly what I'm gonna go do.

Comments? 13:52, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Vixy, please don't ask for comments after 1 day. Please wait at least 3 before asking. When you ask after a day it makes you seem impatient. Blur/lighten your shading a bit, I can't see the markings under it. 17:24, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Oh and I just noticed some waste down around the paws and under the tail^^ 20:09, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Oh sorry... Like I've said I'm still new here and I don't know all the rules yet... Anyway, Reuploaded 13:31, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded It's fine :3 10:28, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

The lineart appears to be... blurred or something around the face. 16:22, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I think all the lineart looks blurry, at least to me. Also I noticed waste all around the image. Some in darker specks away from the cat itself. And then some is right next to the lineart. 17:17, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

You're matching the warrior, right? Can you break up/remove/tweak some of the stripes so they look a bit more like the warrior? Those ones seem to be pixelated a fair bit more than these, and idk if you also have the orange that shows up on her other images or not- I can't see it.

Hes not supposed to have stripes... The lines on his other image is texture, not stripes. So remove them; and make the opacity lower for the texture. I also recommend asking the OA of the warrior for the file, so you can match it exactly with the colors/opacity, etc.-- 02:14, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading I can't see it at all. great to you have ya back Amber :D missed you! 16:13, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Reups So I accidently deleted the shading layer o.O missed ya too Frosty XD <span style="">16:27 Sat Sep 27

I cant see the texture at all.. Define it a bit. Also, im sure Ferk will send it to you if you ask them, and give them your email to send it too.-- 16:56, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

There's a white pixel at the tip of the tail. It might be waste but not sure, it's just there. XD 17:25, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Reups x2 Lol as I saved the file I noticed a new comment. Lol. <span style="">17:36 Sat Sep 27

Lighten the shading a tad, the texture gets lost in it. 08:48, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Reups Who's siggie has turned the approval page teal? It's not mine <span style="">12:49 Sun Sep 28

he's gonna need a black nose. — <span style="">Sun Sep 28 21:25

Reups I made it dark grey <span style="">16:44 Mon Sep 29

Pokes <span style="">08:35 Fri Oct 3

Define the shading- the image is dark, so it's kinda tricky to see the shading.

Larkwing (BS) (A) ~ For Approval
I hope its okay that i posted this before Frost gets archived; im not going to have a chance to post it later. But, if someone could archive him for me, i'd greatly appreciate it. =) Anyways, heres Larkwing again. Pulled all colors/opacities from the Warrior's file. Comments? 06:02, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading/light/whatever on the chest and belly, and the light on all feet except the front foot closest to us. Define the shading on that leg. 08:22, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Define the texture some more, too. 11:42, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Enlargen the "specks" or whatever they happen to be, (probs by like a pixel) as they're slightly larger on the warrior.

'''Re-uploaded. '''Better? 19:25, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

I know your shading is light but can you define the shading on the legs just a little bit? <span style="">8:13 PM, Sat Sep 27, 2014

Define the depth of the overall shading. I like this :) 00:48, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Is that better? =P-- 18:32, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the haunch shading a bit more, please.

Re-uploaded. I dont want to darken it anymore than that, or else the pale part wont be visible. Is that better?-- 17:58, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the shading along the edges(the edge of the image, i.e along the belly) of the pale part to define depth. When you just shade the whole pale part it makes half the body look flat, especially when dealing with this type of pattern. Lol don't freak out yet. ;) 14:50, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded.-- 20:55, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Just define the light on all the legs except (our) right one, and I think this could go for CBA. 15:00, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Ratscar (E) - For Approval
Hi there. I love these elder blanks.

Darken the shading just a tad. This is lovely~ 12:39, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded.

Um....Is this the female blank again?I compared the eyes to Oakfur's elder char art and this one probably has the female blank...Or I'm blind... RaisuRice (talk) 14:39, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

No, it shouldn't be the female blank. There's no eyelash, and when I did Oakfur's, I think I may have taken too much of the lineart away.

Oh...Sorry for misunderstanding... RaisuRice (talk) 23:28, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Shade the scars a bit where they're in shading so they curve with the body more. 03:51, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. That doesn't make sense, since they do curve, but I got what you meant. You mean giving them some depth, I would think?? I basically copied my shading layer and tweaked it so that one only shows on the scars.

Lol yeah exactly what I was saying. Sorry, I'm not good at thoroughly explaining stuff cx. Define the facial shading. 12:23, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded.

Lionblaze (Alt. W) ~ For Approval
lionblaze it. Okay I'm really out of practice on solid cats. Also if there any stuff I need to add, let me know; I haven't read BS, and by extension, the manga part at the end, so yeah. <span style="">10:55 Mon Sep 29

Hm I'll check it out when I get a moment. For now, define the shading on the top of the head and muzzle area. And then smudge the shading on the paws and legs closest to us more, to match the rest of the shading and make it look more even. And then define the light just a bit on the paws farthest from us so they don't look flat. Looks very pretty for you being out of practice, Berry!! c: 12:53, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

There's nothing missing- he's just shown as solid gray. And tbh, I think the shading on the paws are fine.

From what I can tell, nothing needs to be added, but he doesn't have the nicked ear in the manga. Lovely job. 19:52, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Starlingwing (Star) ~ For Approval
Here's Starlingwing :3 15:06, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Oh this is beautiful! Blur/smudge the stripes a tiny bit more. Oh and I fixed the alignment. <span style="">15:11 Mon Sep 29

Re-ups Thank you :3 20:03, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Define the overall shading just a tad; this is amazing, Sziri. =)-- 23:33, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups Thanks Breeze:) 14:33, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Shrewfoot (Star) ~ CBA
Oh, why hello there. 22:25, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

The paws look a bit too dark and I think the eyes need a bit more amber in it but other than that it looks great! Stealthfire star (talk) 03:18, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

The paws are fine, but I do agree about the eyes. They seem a bit flat, and could probably use a bit more color.

I think the eyes are fine - they're color-picked from the warrior. 18:45, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

re-up tweaked 'em anyway 19:25, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

CBA? she's beautiful, tell me your charart secrets 14:59, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Seedpaw (A) - For Evaluation
My first try! --Stealthfire star (talk) 03:06, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Darken and define the shading. This is nice for your first try! Let me know if you need any help and/or tutorial vids. :) 03:40, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Reupload Thankyou. Is this better? Stealthfire star (talk) 03:48, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

The file needs to be named File:Seedpaw.apprentice.png. The shading still needs to be defined more, I can't really tell where it starts and ends. I think the earpink should be blurred some more too, right now it it looks almost like a solid line to me. <span style="">04:46, 09/30/2014

Reupload I changed the file name. I tried defining it again. I just need to check just in case, what does defining mean? I've blurred the ear pink. --Stealthfire star (talk) 04:57, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading more 10:53, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Defining is basically making it more visible. Maybe darken your shading 3-4 shades more, rather than using the word "define." I'll give you an example on your page when I get on my computer. 12:30, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Try to avoid re-uploading it to different file names too, like Shimmer said above. <span style="">1:21 PM, Tue Sep 30, 2014

Reupload Thankyou for the advice everyone! I've defined it more but I feel like I've overdone it.

Looks a bit green... Try tinting the shading red? <span style="">00:57, 10/1/2014

Reupload The shading was pure black. I will just make it lighter. I've got the background colour and tinted it red by one point. Does that help? --Stealthfire star (talk) 01:08, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Yes! Looks great! But could you define the shading on the two legs closest to us? <span style="">01:11, 10/1/2014

Reupload Does look much better! Thankyou! --Stealthfire star (talk) 01:17, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Smokefoot (E) ~ For Approval
changes; dear lord, I now really like smudged shading. Comments? 15:25, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Smooth out the shading a bit more. I kinda wanted you to do this on Honeypaw too, but I forgot to tell you.

Reups Do you mean Plumwillow? 15:14, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Yes I did, oops. Honeypaw is mine. Smooth the shading out a little bit more?

Are you sure it's because the changes weren't showing? Have a look. 15:41, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

I saw the changes, and I still think it should be smoothed out a little more. The smudges aren't supposed to be that distinguishable and it should look more like a gradient, from what I've seen on other images.

Frost (SC) ~ For Approval
Guess who's back! c: ...And a little out of practice, I'm afraid. <span style="">21:15, 09/30/2014

He's gonna need the texture, like what the rogue image has. Unless he does already have it and I can't see it? Also, lighten the shading just a bit.

Re-uploaded Yeah, there was texture, it was just way too light, oops. I darkened it some. <span style="">21:50, 09/30/2014

Lighten the stomach shading some. 22:13, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Lighten the overall shading some more. Its making it look pretty gray. My suggestion would either be lighten the opacity, or using a blue-ish tint. Thats up to you, though.-- 23:30, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded It's really not that dark, you can easily tell that he's white. I did mess with it a bit though. <span style="">00:36, 10/1/2014

Lighten everywhere except for the face and tail shading? Just a tiiiny bit? <span style="">00:58, 10/1/2014

Lighten shading, show more white on the cheek and muzzle, and especially on that left ear. I can tell what you were trying to do, but the shadow looks awkward when the light's supposed to be pointed right at it. Jayie Unwritten words~ 03:20, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Define the texture more. welcome back Shim!! c: 03:56, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Minty (KP) (Lo) ~ For Approval
23:15, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

It looks great, but define the shading on the face a bit. Looks great! 00:03, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Oh wow, that's really pretty. O.O Define the shading on the collar and bell sliiiightly. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:49, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Collar/bell is fine tbh <span style="">01:13, 10/1/2014

Smudge the black and white right next to the collar it looks pretty solid. This is gorgeous! 03:59, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

re-uploaded 10:36, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

It may just be me but it looks like you've just got a white spot next to the collar. <span style="">7:11 PM, Wed Oct 1, 2014

can any of you see thats the shoulder lineart or what and the white is supposed to be there 23:05, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

I was just pointing it out because it didn't look like it was smudged at all. <span style="">11:19 PM, Wed Oct 1, 2014

Because it's not supposed to be- it goes right to the shoulder part of the lineart.

maybe check the actual layout of the blank and see if its done on purpose first owing to lineart? 23:28, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Okay well excuse me I was just trying to be helpful. It threw me off because it looked like it was just an odd group of white, but apparently it's not. <span style="">11:31 PM, Wed Oct 1, 2014

Okay, chill out, guys. This is where we just check the lineart for the regular blank (on the front page of the project) and not get into arguments with others over something as small as this.

Grasspelt (Star)~ For Approval
My first charart to becoming an apprentice! It's Grasspelt as a starclan cat, I was suprised no one had chosen him to do yet  12:45, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

Lovely eyes! It's surrounded by waste, though, and define the light on the tail. 13:06, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

You need to reserve this image in the table on the front page for the project.

Reupload Lightened the tail, and fixed the 'blocky' look of the highlights on the front paws, in case anyone noticed. The eyes aren't my favorite, but I don't know how to do better. '3'  23:05, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

The shading is leaking away from the back, right near the tail. If you don't understand where I'm talking about, it's right here. Just add a bit more shading there. Also, define the light on the tail (you can either remove soe shading or add a highlight on top of it. Removing shading will probably be your best bet) <span style="">23:15, 10/2/2014

Changing heading to "For Approval", and making you an apprentice, since you clearly know the basics and have done quite well for your first charart.

Reupload Took care of the business with the tail, it looks a lot better. I'm going to keep this up until this gets approved, I am so happy right now, and thank you Snow. - 23:49, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

There's some waste by the shoulder and head. 07:18, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Blur or smudge the earpink <span style="">08:39 Fri Oct 3

Reupload I tried blurring the ears a bit more, Amber, but I use Pixlr so I just erased the ear base a little to make it appear blurred. Also, I fixed the waste, I caught it finally. Finally, I added some star sparkles to the eyes. In total, this image so far has the most layers I've used for a charart (personal or not): 16. - 12:15, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

There's still waste. On the lineart layer, bucket tool the whole outside of the lineart in a color other then black, select by color, and then erase it all on every layer. That'll get rid of it, on GIMP at least. 16:18, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Reupload I'm ready, if I ever met Grasspelt irl, to punch him. I'm just annoyed, but I wouldn't really do that >3<'. Caught it, I thought it was the shading but it's the highlights. Comments on eyes?

You need to use Grasspelt.star.png when reuploading. You can upload over the same file multiple times.
