Pikepaw (MO) (A) - For Approval
i like this comments? 18:19, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Could you make his markings look more fish-like? 18:30, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

well, i tried already, this is a pike. that's what i tried to base this off of, and in other images the spots are bigger, basically there's not to great of a consistent pattern in the mottles in northern pikes, which is what i want to base this off of because of his name. 18:35, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Could you make them vary in size, though? I love pike and it's kinda cool we got his gender confirmed

Blur the shadong some? 22:05, 07/1/2014

Re-uploaded I didn't erase any of the mottles I had but i added a new layer and added smaller mottles in a new layer 22:57, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

re-uploaded 14:13, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

anything else?? 21:33, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Blur your shading- it's way too hard-edged. Try to avoid using gaussian blur, which will give you the over-blurred, undefined look, and go for using a large, super fuzzy smudge tool to feather out certain areas. Shading will be softer on cuirved, plump areas, like on the haunch, tail, and belly, but it'll be a little sharper on bonier regions. 02:41, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

re-uploaded i redid and tried something new witht the shading 05:27, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Ferncloud (Q) ~ For Approval
ew, I know. My first dapples, and I'm not entirely impressed. Changes be here 15:28, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading. 16:55, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Reups changes aren't showing yet 21:24, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

blur the dapples a bit. Also, possibly lighten them a tad to match the kit, apprentice, and warrior, that's up to you though. 23:28, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

I'm having a difficult time seeing the ear pink in --> ear. Mind shifting some shading around a bit so I can see it?

-nudges- 20:43, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Wouldn't there be at least some light on her chest?

That depends on the light source. The face is suggesting a frontal light source, so yes, there would be light on the chest, but the tail suggests from behind, where there wouldn't be any, depending on the angle of the shading. Like in Hawk Swoop's queen, the light from behind is at a slight angle, which illuminates the sharper bones in her facial region, but because cats don't have convex chests, the chest itself isn't lit up. 02:38, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Dosen't really tell me what to do, sorry... do I add/remove/leave the chest shading? 18:53, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

I think she's saying tweak your light source to either match the face or the tail. I'd say go with the tail, since it matches Hawk Swoop's, and that's an amazing source.

I don't see how I would tweak the tail shading, though, since it looks the same on Hawk's and on Fern's 14:49, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Not quite. The facial shading is different. I think the shading is more focused on the top of the head and side of the face (note how those things are different on that image compared to yours). This seems more centered around the side of her face, instead of moreso on the head and side. Basically, imagine the shading as a wheel- You'd probably need to turn the shading a bit in order to shift that highlight and probably make it smaller. You'd need to fix the facial shading if you're going with the tail shading, and the tail shading if you're going with the facial shading. I think I explained that basically enough, I am terrible with these and if I am wrong please come and correct me.

I still don't really understand... could someone give me a shading placement for the face? 02:58, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

The highlight is in the middle of her face- if your light is coming from behind, then her muzzle will mostly be in shadow, and really only her cheekbone, the side of her face, and her browbone would be illuminated. The shading at the tip of the tail would be gone, as well, as the way it sits right now suggests the light's coming up from below instead of straight from the side. Hawk Swoop's highlights are pretty easy to spot, so make sure they sorta line up with her's and you'll be okay. 22:48, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I can barely see her face highlights, actually. Can't someone please give me a face shading placement? It would make it much easier. 17:15, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Here you go. The blue is where shading needs to be added, and the creamy-white color is where highlights need to be added. 18:57, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Reups click here for the disaster 21:24, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the stripes (all of them, not just the ones on her tail) and lower their opacity only a teeny bit. Comparing them to the warrior and StarClan especially, they appear slightly more hard-edged. I'd say you did a stellar job in matching the pattern, though. I'm very impressed with how well you've done. =)

Reups thank you, Snowman 15:20, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Fallowfern (Q) - For Approval
Hey. 15:53, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Define the overall shading and light on her legs. 15:54, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups 16:04, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the edges of the belly shading, and darken it while you're at it.

IDK if it's necessary, but add some shading around her shoulder, too? Shinxy Blitz and Melody 12:29, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Re-Ups. I'll add shading around the shoulder if someone else asks me to. It looks okay to me, but, then again, I'm a newbie 14:43, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and do that. I think you'd need it with your source anyways.

Re-Ups I really hope it's shaped okay. This image is actually really, /really/ fun. 15:06, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Remove that bit of shading right by the chest since it doesn't belong there. And you might want to get a second opinion on this, but can you define the earpink a bit? Also blur the stomach shading a tad. 16:34, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups. Ehhhhhhh... okay. The earpink is under the shading layers, I'll re-do it if someone else agrees, mainly because it took a few tries to get them right without seemind, well, neon-ish. also the shading is strange on her leg i know but that's the only way I could include the shoulder and not the chest. 17:36, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

By shoulder I meant that line between the belly and the head, but okay... Darken the shading on the legs slightly, maybe? And there's waste by her chest. Shinxy Blitz and Melody 18:57, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Re-Up. Better? I've got 13 layers of shading on this one cat... how did this happen? 20:42, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Define the tail and facial shading; also, define the earpink a bit. i can barely see it, especially in the <--- ear.~Breezeheart~ (talk) 04:37, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

Define the light on the hindleg furthest from us; there would be light there.~Breezeheart~ (talk) 03:39, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

There is light there, on the inside closest to her belly. If I try to add more, it'll throw off the shading I already have, because the original shading (where the light is) is connected to the original shading on her belly, face, legs, and tail. 15:49, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Petalnose (Q) ~ For Approval
Here's the new version Whew, first charart in ages. It's probably for the best that I chose something simple since it's been awhile xD. Anyways, comments? 17:03, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

The shading leaks away from the lineart on her belly 17:27, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

I cleared all of the outside shading twice to make sure it was gone, so there shouldn't be any. 17:35, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

No... I didn't mean outside of the lineart. Along her belly in just one little spot I can see white where there should be shading. Sorry to confuse you! 17:38, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded It's ok! I didn't notice that at first. Pixlr always makes the stomach shading leak away from the lineart sometimes 18:01, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

ok honestly this looks way too white, you can actualy tell shes even a grey cat tbh. maybe change that? 12:20, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

I color picked the colors from her warrior image, so unless someone else thinks her color is too white I'm not going to change it. 01:09, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Darken it; she's gonna end up being tweaked anyways.

smudge the earpink upwards? 17:02, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with rocket, I can't even see that it's smudged. also, the white looks very gray. 00:41, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. Like i said, i was told to lighten it, and then tod to define it. :/. Defined the shading on the paw. Better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 02:53, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

You can have lighter shading and it still be visible. If you want lighter shading and visible at the same time, perhaps try unblurring the shading a bit? Defining means to make more visible. It does not mean darken. I think PCA needs a group lesson on what the difference is between define and darken, myself included.

True, but when i do that i get told to blur it more. :/~Breezeheart~ (talk) 03:56, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Define the chest shading.

The white paw is the wrong side, it should be the cat's left, to match the other images. Brick  17:27, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. Switched the white paw, and defined the chest shading. Better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 03:11, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading on his white paw just a little bit. Not too much, though. Just enough to smooth it out a little bit.

Could you just 'feather' the edges of the white paw where it goes to the black? The other images show tufts of white going into the black, but your one is blurred. 19:51, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. Blurred the shading on the white paw a tad bit, and feathered the top. Better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 23:28, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Sharpen the facial shading a bit more and the shading near the armpit, as the curves on the cat are sharper there and would cast a bolder shadow than on more round regions. 23:42, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I think its fine. I shaded Featherwhisker's StarClan image the same way as i did on this. But if someone else agrees, i will.--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 23:47, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, I think Leggy could be on to something. Here's something I did a while back to test my shading on white cats. The white cat is here, and here's the black cat. The shading (which has no highlights on either image) looks totally flat on the black cat, while the white cat has at least some depth. Here's one around Featherwhisker's coloring. Note how it's still not as defined or dark as it could be? Each image has different coloring and shading techniques and what looks amazing on one image, could possibly not work on another color, even though they're the same blank- this is why I don't copy shading for any of my images. Give Leggy's idea a try, and see what you can come up with.

Re-up. Sharpened/defined shading on the face, and on part of the leg. Is that better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 18:49, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps make it a little more hard-edged on the face and armpit? It just seems really faint and soft right now, but what you did in the last upload seems to have helped a lot. :) 19:52, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. Im not going to sharpen it anymore that this; because i know ill get told to blur it. But, is that better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 20:41, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the tail shading.

Sharpen the shading a bunch on the face, and sharpen it on the shoulders and the thinner portions of the legs. Blur it a bit more on the main part of the haunch and the tail, as fluffier fur casts a softer shadow than shorter, bonier areas that aren't nearly as soft. 23:40, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Declined due to lack of work. Sorry, but it's one week without uploads.

Hello

Define the shading. 01:23, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I stole and tweaked Velvet's texture.

Okay, Leggy's beating me with a stick, so I'm gonna redo this texture and reupload in a bit.

Re-uploaded. Got rid of the texture since it didn't like me and basically redid it.

Re-uploaded. After some encouragement, I tried to at least do something and brought back what I worked on last night.

Define the shading a bit more around her belly and shoulder 04:03, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Colorpicked from the elder image. I don't really like the way this turned out but oh well. Eɢʀᴇᴛᴛ 22:56, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading on the white, and define it on the tail a bit. Woah, this is nice. .o.

I'm changing this heading to for approval, and making you an apprentice as well, since it's obvious you know what you're doing and you have more than a basic grasp of chararts. =P

Blur the stripes a little bit (they appear to be softer and not as hard-edged on the warrior and elder) and define the light on the tail.

Fircone (Star) ~ For Approval
Holy crap, I'm happy with how this came out. Skye requested that I did this, but I received permission from both them and Beebs to redo the pattern, as I felt my old one wasn't mottled enough to match the current description. I'll gladly redo the rogue to match this, especially since I have the files! 23:15, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Just gonna fix a small detail with your comment... and as long as you're gonna redo the rogue (which you need to nominate too lmao), then I have no real complaints. Maybe just darken the shading a little bit on the back-area (or haunch whatever it is)

Much perfect, such ginger. Add some depth to the chest shading a teeny bit? 01:23, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Eh I'll nominate it once I get this done. 22:45, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

The white on the tail looks really gray... Lighten that up a bit?~Breezeheart~ (talk) 07:27, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

its in shadow of course its gonna look grey. 11:01, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Tell that to anyone else who's shading on a white cat/ white patches on a cat. If that applied to everyone, then PCA members wouldnt ask them to "lighten the white, it looks gray" so much on other chararts. If that part of the tail is supposed to be white, then he really should lighten it up a bit. Otherwise it just looks like he has a gray patch on his tail.~Breezeheart~ (talk) 19:44, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I think it's just because of how Leggy has her light source. It does look really gray, though... I will give you that.

It's entirely in shadow..there's no way I can lighten it and be consistent, for the light is coming entirely from our left side. The shading on the tail, since it's plumy, engulfs a majority of it, and really only the edges are illuminated, and in this case, since he has white on the underside of the tail, only the tortie top is lit up.

It's one section on the cat, and the other lighter patches, most notably on the chest, the base of the tail, and the face, are clearly white, so one may assume that the giant darker section on the tail is the same hue. Assuming there's a random gray patch on the tail, even with the other white markings, is like assuming that a solid gray cat is two shades of gray because one region on the body appears darker than the other. I've always been against the "lighten the white" comment, as it's really the shading causing the trouble, and if it makes a section appear gray, then you need to define and sharpen it. Your "white" can be any light color, because you don't have to use solid white, as long as your shading is sharp enough and can easily be perceived as shading instead of a new color on the cat. 22:58, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, I see no point whether the white looks gray or not. As long as the white is white, it's going to be white no matter what color the shading makes it look. Even in real life, shadows on, say, white clothing can appear to be gray. It can't be helped if the shading on the white is gray, because it would seem rather flat otherwise. In my opinion, keep it the way it is, Leggy. I don't mean to sound snippy or rude. I apologize if you take it that way. This isn't even worth arguing for. <span style="">23:32 Sun Jul 13

Would I get shot for asking you to maybe blur the wisps (for lack of a better word) of fur in the ear so they don't see as hard-edged? Also do you use white or is it an offwhite (with tinted shading I would assume???)? The shading makes it look pink or something and with the rest of the pelt, it actually looks really neat. o.o

Reuploaded. Nah, you won't be shot. I just used a fatter brush when I did it the first time, and I thinned them out so they looked a bit more hair-like. The shading's tinted a very dark green, and I used a white tinted slightly orange for the whole body because I wanted to make this guy super red. 19:49, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

This is really good :)  The giner patch on her face is supposed to extend to the top of her nose. (Her apprentice and Kittypet images have it) so it'll match her other images. Also, define the facial shading a tad bit.~Breezeheart~ (talk) 07:24, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded thanks Breezeheart! c: 13:29, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Could you try smudging the patches (like on her rump and legs) a little bit more on a lower setting brush? This is really nice, Duck. Probably one of your better chararts.

Define the shading a bit? This is purrtty 19:49, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Her patches seem a bit more yellow then the ones on her other images, maybe make them a tad more orangish? She's gorgous! 04:01, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Can you try to straighten out and smudge the stripes a little more to give them the wispy look that the StarClanner and warrior have? They aren't this curly-looking or bold on the others. 23:32, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading a bit on the back leg that's completely visible. Although, it's moreso the foot itself that could use some defined shading, not the actual leg. Snowman likes. Snowman wants to steal it. ouo

I think the left one (our left) could be darkened a tiny bit more especially toward the edge of the lineart. The right paw is fine. ((this is going by our angle not the casts so the left is < >)) <span style="">17:36, 07/16/2014

The pale parts kinda look white..mind darkening them a bit?

Wait, why darken the pale parts. Aren't they supposed to be white? Jayie Unwritten words~ 19:41, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the earpink a tad, to match the other images. I didn't know she got a cite, but now I'm happy. And being happy is good. And good things lead to less death. Brick  19:45, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

No, they're not supposed to be white. Pale parts are allowed on a tabby, yes, but they can't be white. Pale isn't white, and I don't think Breezey used white when she made Runningbrook's images. Jayie, we had this long before you came along, and someone tried to say that pale and white were the same thing, when they're not.

Oh, okay. :) I must've pulled the wrong color off the other chararts. I pulled it off the lightest part of her belly, 'cause I thought the rest was just dark because of the shading, but maybe I pulled it off of too light a pixel. I'll play around with the colors again. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Jayie  Unwritten words~ 19:56, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Does that work better? Jayie Unwritten words~ 15:26, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Now, correct me if I'm wrong (which I could be), wouldn't the shading on that leg basically under/behind the belly (where we can really only see part of it) be a bit darker? If I'm wrong, disregard me. Nice job in matching her pattern. o.o

Re-up ~ I added some more mottles, but how do you sharpen them?

I use Photoshop.

Select your sharpen tool and then run it over the brown and gray parts a few times. <span style="">18:45 Tue Jul 15

Re-up ~ When I used the sharp tool, strange colored pixels appeared so I used a sharpen filter.

The gray patches on his other images are a tad bit lighter than that. Lighten them a little bit.--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 06:44, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up ~ Lightened the gray patches a little bit. Sorry for being late. ^^"

Poppydawn (Alt. Q) - For Approval
not sure whether or not she'd get a graying muzzle 22:51, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Im not completely sure; But i think Poppydawn wasnt an elder yet when she was a queen, so shes not supposed to have the gray muzzle... someone correct me if im wrong.~Breezeheart~ (talk) 06:42, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

I dunno, I kinda disagree with the above comment. Being a warrior/queen doesn't mean you have to be young. Being an elder is only a named rank, so I think a queen could still have a graying muzzle. But I may just be incredibly tired and spitting up nonsense. Also, her warrior alt has it, sooo....? Brick 16:40, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Her alt images show it, but her normal queen doesnt. I say add it, if anyonne else aggrees. <span style="">00:14 Fri Jul 18

This is why we check references. Judging by what's shown in the references, she was called brown as a queen in the allegiances of Yellowfang's Secret, which is long before she retires. Therefore, she would not get the gray muzzle, as she was said to have had it when she retired, and we don't add things from before citations. So, we wouldn't add it if she got an apprentice image or something along those lines. The alt warrior gets it since it went along with that description, and the same can be said for her elder image, StarClan image, ect.

Sandstorm (Alt Q) ~ For Approval
02:35, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

The unshaded part looks flat. Maybe add a highlight or something? <span style="">2:44 Fri Jul 18

IDK if it's just me, but the shading doesn't look blurred /at all/. If you do your shading like that, then it's fine by me, but if not... <span style="">18:10 Fri Jul 18  My computer screen is probably really out of whack too, but the other images look fine, so....

David doesn't blur his shading and hasn't for quite a while. Blurring it isn't mandatory, and there are other styles of shading. Maybe extend the shading, if possible? idk.

I'm not sure if extending the shading will add any depth, though. Perhaps add a little more of a gradient? It should get gradually darker to show that the image isn't entirely flat. 19:42, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
