Splook - Mentor Application, August 14th, 2015
hey so I was a mentor back in the day and I've graduated 3 apprentices. I really liked working and teaching with them, and I would really like to do it again. I rejoined last month, but before then, I became a SW in 2011 and have had plenty of chararts approved since then. soo yeah. thanks. 17:18 August 14, 2015 (UTC)

Ugh I thought I approved this >.> alright, go ahead :) Approved 07:06, August 22, 2015 (UTC)

Sunjaw - Mentor Application, August 31, 2015
So, let's try this again now that I've done more tweaks/redos. I have been a warrior since I believe some time in early July. I've had seven approved originals, four tweaks/redone, but hopefully I will get more soon enough and become more active with the new books coming out and my schedule becoming regular again. I am patient with explaining things and want to help others improve their charart. I primarily use Photoshop CS5 Professional, but I also have a more than working knowledge of Paint Tool SAI as well. 02:59, August 31, 2015 (UTC)

Snowdapple - Mentor Application, October 7, 2015
Alright, I've had 4 images approved, have tweaked/redone 3 images, (two up for approval at the moment). I have a good knowledge of how to tweak, and I will be doing more after my next two are approved. I've been a warrior for a month (not including my leave of absence from the project), and I believe I am ready c: I use Paint Tool SAI and GIMP. 14:31, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

=Apprentice Requests=

Isa ~ Mentor Request, 16 June 2015
I'd like to request a mentor, to help me with tabbies and tortoiseshells. I am fine with basic shading skills and I know how to make basic chararts, but patterns give me trouble. I use GIMP and Sumo.fm :) I'd be willing to use other free programs as well. 💀  embrace mortality💀  02:49, June 17, 2015 (UTC)

I'd be willing to take you on if you want. 01:09, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Although you're pretty inactive so I don't know if you're still interested in having a mentor. 04:11, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

PoppyShine ~ Mentor Request, 26 June 2015
Hello, I'd like to request for Storm to be my mentor. She helps me on my chararts by giving me instructions on how to do so. I think that Storm would be an excellent mentor on helping me with defining my shading. I use Pixlr.


 * I'll gladly be your mentor! :3 I use paint tool SAI and manga studio 5, but I know how Pixlr works! Storm  &#9835;  05:49, June 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Never mind I'm becoming way too busy right now to take an apprentice, sorry poppy ;-;

=== User:Sagestream - Mentor Request, 7/11/15=== Hello, I'd like to request a mentor to help me with Tabbies / tortiseshells c; Im fine with solid coloured cats and simply patterned ones, as I am good with shading and stuff, but tabbies and toriseshells really mess with me XD. I use GIMP.

Autumneh - Mentor Request, 8 September 2015
Hi! I'd love to get a mentor to improve my smudging/tabbies. I use mostly Paint.NET, but I sometimes turn to Pixlr Online Editor/GIMP to smudge. 15:14, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

I use GIMP and can take you on since my apprentice has gone inactive because of personal issues. 05:00, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

That would be amazing, thanks Fox! :D I'm not exactly sure how mentoring goes so um you'll have to walk me through it. XD Thank you so much! 11:10, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

Approved :) 11:22, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

Zootvine - Mentor Request, 24 September 2015
'sup. Having a mentor would be amazing, as I seriously need help/practice with textures, and maybe brush up on my tabbies and other patterned cats. I exclusively use Photoshop, the exact version being CC. Thank you for reading! -- 18:24, September 24, 2015 (UTC)

I use GIMP and Photoshop, and I guess I can take you on. But, I might not be that active, and join.me doesn't work on my computer. I can still teach by giving out examples, though. Would you like me to be your mentor?

Oh, thank you! I'd love for you to be my mentor. I already have a somewhat decent grasp on things like shading and what not, I'd just like a few tips as I go along, so you don't have to be extremely active. Again, thank you! -- 20:34, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Nettlesky - Mentor Request, 26 October 2015
I'm a user that pops up once in a while^^ I'm okay with basics like shading and simple patterns. What I really struggle with are texture and mottled/dappled/brindled/detailed tabby patterns. I would love to get some help with these! I use GIMP, and very rarely Photoshop.


 * I think I have the time for two apprentices. Especially since one of mine... Got her laptop taken away. 10:56, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

I would love to have you as a mentor Fox!

Brambleshade.DA ~ Mentor Request, 5 November 2015
Heyo, So I need... a lot of help with torties and patches as well as shading and other bunches of things. I use GIMP only, since I cant download Sumopaint and other Programs. :) 04:37, November 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Could I take you on? We have each other added on Skype so this should be easier and I currently don't have an apprentice. 10:59, November 5, 2015 (UTC)

=Graduating=

Winterflurry - Graduation, August 1st, 2015

 * My apprentice, Winterflurry has dseerved this for quite a while. (And by that I mean ever since she joined the wiki.) Her art is outstanding and her own understanding of the project exceeded my own back in the day. There's no doubt that soon she will make a fine warrior and possibly a senior warrior. 23:44, August 1, 2015 (UTC)

=Discussion=

Help

 * If you have any questions, comments or worries, post them below so other members can help you out.

New Rule
Hello, I just wanted to point out that I have put in a new rule, as seen above. From now on mentors can now request (in this discussion area) that their apprentice be removed from the project if they have gone inactive for more than 2 weeks (or just if there is another credible reason). Thank you and carry on! 04:02, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

I have also added forms to the 'Discussion' drop-down menu that request a mentor removal, a resignation, or an apprentice removal. You can read the info given in the drop-down menu for more information. 04:22, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
