Queen Blanks ~ For Approval
Righty-o. Here we go with the queen blanks. Comment away my friends. ^w^ 09:42 Tue May 28

I'm no expert on this but maybe square up the shape of this --> forepaw and define where the du-claw'd be. I can't really explain how, the but maybe slope the haunch a bit more, it looks kinda flat compared to the shoulders. Gorgeous work, Berry! 22:15, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps ---> this leg could be curved a tad? 22:50 Tue May 28

Maybe you could make both sides of the longhair's tail fluffy? The straight line looks a bit odd. 01:18, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Do you think you could define the top of the nearest shoulder a bit? Also you might disconnect the line on the same shoulder from the head. As is it looks a bit awkward. You also might define the joints a bit more on the other leg and even out the sizes of the ears. Though I doubt you'd need it, if you need a redline feel free to ask. 2:06 Thu May 30 2013

Maybe the tail can be curved a tad more --- no cat's tail is that straight when they walk. 23:22, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, Breezy I wouldn't say no to a redline. xD 06:18 Fri May 31

Re-uploaded meh I did some stuff on the shorthair - decided I'll work on the longhairs later. 12:45 Fri May 31

Maybe slant the toe line on her left front paw the other way, or make it straight up and down? And maybe make a small line over the base of her tail where it joins with her haunch on our left; just to show a little more depth. These are really stunning... 00:43, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Enlarge the hind paw a bit more and maybe define the "ankle" of the leg that's just behind the lifted forepaw 01:24, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

How about these? Ignore the face, though. Yours is fine. Except for maybe the sizes of your ears, which should be more even. 15:48 Mon Jun 3 2013

Re-uploaded officially naming these blanks Hannibal because they look like they want to eat you. 08:17 Fri Jun 7

Umm... what happened to these? They look odd. different. 10:26, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps thin and even out the tail lineart a little. 10:33 Sat Jun 8

Re-uploaded. Sorrrel, I was given a redline by Breezy to fix up some anatomy issues. .-. Please do not call my blanks odd, and don't comment unless you're offering critique. 10:45 Sat Jun 8

I'm sorry, Berry. I was just surprised by how different they looked. 12:02, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Don't know if this'll make any sense, but can you make the curve around our front right paw more noticeable? 13:20, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

The hind thigh looks lumpy. Maybe smooth it out a bit more? The tail seems bigger than the body. Also, define the front right paw (the one that is not on the ground). 15:03, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'm very confused; when you go to the file for this is shows that it looks more like the original version; here it looks like the redline Breezey gave you. Is the wiki playing up? Just asking. 01:39, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe shorten the whiskers by a few pixels, make the tail a bit thinner and maybe shrink her front paws and her right (her right) back paw a just a little. 16:28, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

The bottom of the tail on <--- this side looks like it has an extra line on it, the front part of the belly (or chest?) doesn't look like it connects to the belly smoothly, and the shape of the paws look...off? to me. I don't really know how to explain it, but something about the digits on the paws seem to be throwing me off. 00:49, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Still working, Berry? 18:28, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Yes- sorry for the lack of re-uploads, I've not had access to a computer. The line on the tail, Ivy, is a bit of fur and I'll keep it unless someone else says otherwise. and the Hannibal eyes stay eheheheh 07:35 Fri Jun 14

Possibly smoothen the lineart on the back? (there's like a little place where it rises :P) 12:21, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded 04:08 Sat Jun 15

Smooth out the hind food and make the actual part that touches the ground smaller and less bulbous. 4:14 Sat Jun 15 2013

Re-uploaded 04:17 Sat Jun 15

Thin the tail more. 10:22, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to keep the tail as it is unless someone else agrees. 14:33 Sat Jun 15

Can you make the legs and paws a bit thinner too? 15:40, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

I honestly think it's fine. 16:18, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Can you taper the end of the tail a bit more at the tip and the lifted paw looks a little too splayed 00:28, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with Sorrel. If you think about a real cat, the tail gets thinner at the tip. It does not look that way now - and these are the short-hair blanks after all. I do not want to sound rude. Please don't shoot me! 02:26, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Shorten whiskers by a few pixels? 18:44, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Could you smooth out the hind paw just a tad and thin out the tail like Hawk and Sorrel said? Other than that, these are honestly fine. Thistleflight (talk) 22:51, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Could you please remove the dots above the head? It's a style thing and doesn't go with the style of any of the blanks we have. And yes, I agree the tail need to be thinned out a ton. It's almost thicker than the legs right now. Make the dew claw stick out less on the front paw, and make the back paw a more defined shape rather than a really smooth kinda soft line that makes it look too round and blobby. Shrink the paws quite a bit too, they're much too big for a cat in comparison to the leg size. Clean up the whisker lineart so it's a bit smoother, and maybe vary the lengths of the whiskers. Lastly, the chest is in front of the legs, so at this angle, the line for the chest should go over the far front leg, rather than the line that shows the leg connecting with the body being in front. Honestly, I thought it was mostly fine before and only needed a few minor tweaks, but... :/

Re-uploaded I tried a thing with the front paw but I can change it back if needed. I had issues with the hind paw...a lot of issues. e.e 10:39 Wed Jun 19

Her front paw that's on the ground is bigger then the others. 14:29, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

Her back right paw looks as if it is pointing outward, could you possibly make it so it looks like we're looking at it straight on? Those paws look great already, but if you need a little reference, I found this. Also, on the base of her tail, there's just a little stray line there. And last, could you make that line on the back of her foreleg on her shoulder (one that is lifting up the paw off the ground) straight instead of curving in? <span style="">19:30 Thu Jun 20

The front left leg could be curved a tad more. Also, the lifted front paw should be curved more as well. Also, I find that the queen looks a little scrawny. I hate to sound rude, but honestly, I liked it better the way you had it before, but... x-x 00:35, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

There's some pixels on the part where the (our left) part of her tail meets her body, and they look a bit odd. Like Hawk and Paleh, I preferred the version before, but this is good all the same. 01:45, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

Er, yeah, like Sorrel and Hawk, I liked the ones you made before (your first ones better, I don't want to sound rude). Maybe upload it back and just curve the front paw justa scinch.Thistleflight (talk) 21:57, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Okay guys I can see you're all hinting at it, but do you want me to just go ahead and bring back the ones I had before and change what's been told? sighs because I much prefer these but I guess majority rules <span style="">06:44 Tue Jun 25 06:44, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Uh, yes, you really should put the original blanks back. Maybe with a few minor adjustments, though. Thistleflight (talk) 22:34, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Well I think it'd be easier on your side with what changes will need to be made to fit style and anatomy with the old blanks. Of course they'd still need a couple tweaks, but I think it'd be easier overall for you. These are still good though, and it's ultimately up to you I believe.

Reverting back to the "original" blanks may be a bit more drastic than need be, especially since you'd basically loose all that progress of getting some aspects of the anatomy, as it is currently, looking well done. Maybe overlay the original and the current version and figure out any extremities that might need fixing with reference from Raelic's redline like the forepaws and the tilt to the back paws. Good job, Berry. 22:55, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I think you should change back. I'm sure other users would be *Dives behind brick wall* okay  with the decision. It matches the other linearts much better and, like Paleh said, would only need a few more tweaks. Great job on everything Berry! 23:18, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I do believe Berry gets the point of multiple users preferring her original blanks. I ask that if you're going to comment on the blanks, please comment on what she has uploaded, as the message of a majority of users wanting the other blanks back has very easily been proven. Seriously guys, enough already; she gets the point.

Agreeing with what Cloudy said above; these are the blanks that she has uploaded. Berry prefers these blanks and these are hers to work with and manage. We've already put a lot of effort on these blanks to make them the way they are now, and it seems almost like a waste of that effort to go right back. Both blank styles are beautiful, but like Cloudy said, these are the ones uploaded, and the ones we should be sticking with. I like these ones we have now, but right now isn't the place for opinions, I believe. <span style="">03:06 Mon Jul 1

I'm actually having a lot of trouble with the anatomy on these blanks, combining the older with the newer ones and stuff. If anyone could offer up a redline, it would be hugely appreciated. <span style="">11:06 Wed Jul 3

Here. I tried, seriously. It may not be that amazing but I tried. 16:58, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded Okay so I found the image I used as a ref for the original blanks and messed around I know it sucks plz don't rub it in. <span style="">05:17 Mon Jul 8

She looks... rather stocky and muscly. Flatten the shoulder and back so they don't rise so much. Add toes to the paw that's off the ground. 20:37, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Lengthen the shoulder a bit where it meets their back. These are fantastic, Berry! Thistleflight (talk) 21:31, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

In the picture I referenced this from, that is how the back and shoulder look. The way th lifted paw is raised, as well, would make no toes visible, and if they were the paw would look crooked. I'd rather not touch these thing unless someone else agrees. <span style="">04:40 Tue Jul 9

I was going to do this pose as well when I entered, but I saw you used it already. Referencing back to the original image, I'd say the shoulder should end just above the tip of the right ear (the cat's right, /not/ our's), and the lifted hind paw should have two toes visible, so one toeline should be on it. Berry, these are wonderful ^-^ <span style="">23:55, 07/9/2013

Re-uploaded <span style="">04:54 Wed Jul 10

No I really agree the toes should be defined on the front paw that's off the ground. For them not to be visible at all, the toes would have to be really curled, which isn't very natural. They wouldn't be super defined in this position, but they'd be very clearly visible.

The lineart looks choppy in places, could you smoothen it out a bit? One way to do this is add a few pixils to the edges where it curves and it gives the illusion of smoothness  21:08, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Also, now that I have a bit more time to comment, the shoulder of the paw on the ground is much too defined and large right now, and the place where it connects to the head is lined up in a way that it doesn't look connected to the actual leg. Try and follow the curve of where the lines would be if they were visible. The front paw that's on the ground also looks a bit twisted with that extra line on our left side. I'm not sure if that's the dew claw or a line to try and define the paw some more. If it's the dew claw, make it stick out a bit from the leg, so it appears more like an actual toe that has mass to it. The chest needs to follow the curve of the belly more, and as I said before, the chest would be in front of our right front leg at this angle. The place the elbow connects to the body shouldn't be visible. Try and thin out the haunch a bit, as she's starting to look a bit just overall chubby rather than pregnant. Our right back leg seems to both be oddly positioned (too high and too far to our left) and doesn't quite look clearly like a paw. It looks more like the bend in the leg right now, but nothing goes past the bent front foot that would show. Try and make the tail a bit more of a consistent thickness, only getting slightly thinner at the tip, and overall just slim it down a bit. Also, the eyes look a bit odd right now, like they don't quite match the way the other was drawn (trust me, I know what a pain they can be x.x), try and pick either one of them and make the other eye match a bit better. I do believe with cats, the back leg doesn't have a dew claw, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm not, please remove that. And try and make the shape of the back paw curve with where the toes would be, rather than just a random kind of "guessed" curve with toes added in. That's a bit hard for me to explain, and if it doesn't make sense I can redline that part. And finally, the whiskers still look kind of choppy and just not very smooth at all, try and smooth them out.

The bridge of the nose seems a little thick and straight and is throwing off the nose. The nose doesn't really look like a cat's nose, it looks more like a triangle. The muzzle needs to be smoothed out more, and the eyes' lineart seems to be choppy in places. Also, the front left (our right) leg looks like it bending in a bunch of directions and the lineart is choppy. The face sort of reminds me of one of my grade-school bus-drivers. *shudders*  21:22, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah gonna be away til Thursday so I'll upload then. <span style="">22:35 Mon Jul 15

I'm not trying to sound mean or anything but it has been 19 days since you reuploaded and 14 days since you said that you would update this, so I have to inquire if you're still working on this? 16:34, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

I am, but I'm having a lot of trouble with them. I don't know if anyone would perhaps be able to offer up a redline, because I'm seriously lost. <span style="">12:00 Wed Jul 31

Redlinin' it up~ Hope this helps <span style="">00:43, 08/1/2013


 * Yeah, don't use ^^that one, I forgot stuff. Use this one. I seriously hope this helps, but since I know almost nothing of the anatomy of a cat, this is the best I could do to help c: <span style="">19:19, 08/1/2013

Re-uploaded <span style="">06:05 Sat Aug 3

Where did her eye pupils go? 10:50, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Make the thigh less flat. Also, >>>this front leg seems to be very thick, also can you curve it more? The tail seems a bit...lumpy. 13:13, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

The lifted forepaw looks a bit small compared to the body and define the toes on it 01:58, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Pigeonpaw (A) ~ CBA
Comments? c: 23:22, July 9, 2013 (UTC)

The shade of gray doesn't match the kit image, and the smudging is both too extreme and needs to follow the flow of the fur and the body.

Reuploaded Changes are not showing, I believe. Is this okay? 22:58, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

His paws and legs look rather grey. Maybe just erase a little shading there? He looks very nice! <span style="">23:35 Wed Jul 10

Nice job, Misty! However, I do believe that there's a (faint but present) layer of texture on the gray on the kit c: Bb  un   legs  02:05, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Where's your light source coming from?

Personal preference undefined, but the shading is really dark to me. Lighten or keep, if no one agrees. Maybe it's just my screen <span style="">03:06 Sun Jul 14

Hmm, would you like the file for the kit to help ya' out, Misty? o3o 01:13, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Define the tail shading a bit, and make the texture a bit more visible ouo 00:59, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Smudge the shoulder just a teensy bit. Though this is just me. -- 22:26, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Reuploaded Thank you for the xcf. Beebs! c:  23:17, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

There's some texture on his other patches as well, I believe. 23:20, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Mmm, I think it's fine. 23:27, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hm, I agree with Beebs, after all, she'd know, she's the kit's OA. 18:16, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

I thought you couldn't have texture on one part of the cat and not the rest? If it's on the gray, it should be on the white too. Regardless, you really can't tell if there's texture or not on the kit. o.O

I agree; the texture is hard to see on the kit, and it seems to match fine without it. Her chest and her back near the spine is looking rather gray, can you add highlights to them? I think it should help out with any gray-white shading. I really like this. :) 17:40, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Reuploaded Is this okay, Knight? ^^ I didn't want to mess up the light source with any highlights, so I tried something else. 03:51, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Define the tail shading a bit more. 02:38, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe my screen is poorly lit, but he doesn't look as white as he should. again, it might just be me <span style="">23:17 Tue Jul 30

Reuploaded Defined the tail shading, and I think that the white is fine, but if anyone else agrees, I will change it. 02:56, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hickorynose (Alt W) - For Approval
And here's the alt to go with it! Everything is from the warrior except pelt color, tinting has been changed to suit a gray cat, and earpink is slightly different (I don't feel like the color is right though, can someone help direct me to which color gradient is most appropriate?) 06:11, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Define eye depth, and I can't see the light source. <span style="">19:46 Sun Jul 14

I think both are fine, perhaps just expand the unshaded area around his shoulder and the shading depth on his front paws. x3 19:56, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah the eyes are the same as on the Warrior so I'd really rather not touch it. I'll see what I can do about that in a little Duck ^^  21:48, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Where's your light source? I can't find one. Also, blur the shading a lot once you have one. <span style="">01:08, 07/15/2013

Didn't notice this at first, but remove the background. <span style="">01:12, 07/15/2013

There is no background.. :/ But I'll do the shading..and if I have time I'll find a tool that /removes/ backgrounds..possibly the eraser. 08:30, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I fixed the shading, adding a light source. If you know how to get rid of the background when it's on gimp, please tell me so I can forward it to Darkfrost as well. o.o 08:52, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I changed the shading, using a darker color and having a lighter source. Changed the eyes, since I thought these looked cool for a WC cat. And I got rid of the background. 16:00, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Base pelt needs to be less gray and more black, and shading needs to be blurred, defined and thinned out. 16:01, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

It is black..you may be talking about the gray shading. Or you didn't see the changes. But I'll thin out the shading and blur it. 16:06, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Sorrel's correct. This appears to be a bit light for a black cat.

Re-uploaded. Sorry Sorrel and Cloudy, I realized you guys were right. I made him darker. 16:23, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Ear pink's rather too neon. And that gray bit/highlight in the middle either needs to be made darker and blurred. 16:34, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Is the grey chest the base pelt or the shading? If it's the shading; perhaps change it to another color? So it's not confusing. <span style="">22:11 Mon Jul 15

The patch of bright highlight in the center of its chest isn't enough to really tell us where the light source is. Add some highlights to the face and legs, and make it darker and less sharp. If you need any help, feel free to leeve a message on my talk and I'll help :3 <span style="">22:49 Mon Jul 15

Re-uploaded. I narrowed the shading in the middle down, making it the light source. And I made the ear pink more pink. And thanks Kelpsey, I will:)  23:36, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the highlight on the chest, and define the shading. Also, expand the earpink to the whole ear. ^^  01:32, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Not rushing, but it's been about a full day since someone commented on this. So, I'm kind of waiting for someone to say "CBA" or something..is it and will it? 19:23, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Where's your light source? Also, define the shading, and then blur it. The earpink is also looking a bit purplish and too florescent. 19:40, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I was told to remove the light source. Defined the shading already. And blurred it. I matched everyone else's shading skills that got CBA'd. And if you lean in, you can see my shading better. But I'll make the ear pink more pinker. 19:52, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

No, you were told to remove the random gray dot in the middle of the chest. Either way, here's a guide to shading placement. And it doesn't matter if you already defined and blurred the shading, I'm asking you to do it again because there really shouldn't be an excessive need for me to lean in to try and make out the shading. Also, if you want to talk about matching shading skills, take your image, set the base pelt to something like a florescent pink, and then ask for another user's image with layers (.xcf, .psd, etc.) set the base pelt to the same color as you set yours, and then compare the two. I'm not saying to post them but just look and compare the two. 19:58, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Don't be angry...I'm new to this. I'm not sure how to do some of that. I'll try again. What should a light source look like? 20:03, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

The light source is basically the light and what direction it's coming from. You have to think about where the light would hit and where it wouldn't. If you look at the shading guide Teldy linked and shade where it says to you should be fine. If you need help with some things feel free to leave a message on my talkpage or pop into chat for a bit and I'll try to help out some. ouo <span style="">20:22, 07/17/2013

Thank you, Shimmer. I'll have it re-uploaded tomorrow morning. 23:05, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Added shading with a positive light source from the left side. I also made the ear pink more pink, destroying the neon. Anything else? 12:11, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Make the shading less blotchy, and make the ear pink a little more on the gray-ish level. This appears too purple-ish pink to really fit well with the pelt color you've picked.

Re-uploaded. Fixed the shading and ear pink. Anything else? 20:56, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Shading looks rather blotchy. 21:32, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

It looks as though you're working over the lineart, also the earpink is looking a tad to neon. Black cats generally have a pale skin color. <span style="">23:36 Sat Jul 20

Been no comments for almost a full day.. 23:27, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Shading still doesn't appear to have a light source?

I see the light source from the top left. Maybe a lighter shading would help define it? 03:42, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Eh, I still don't think so. It seems like it's just really thrown onto the image, instead of actually done like a vast majority of the other images on this wiki. A lighter shading would actually make it /harder/ to see, btw.

Re-uploaded. And Minty was saying that I needed a lighter color, btw. So I fixed the shading, making the light source coming from the right this time. Since the head didn't satisfy. And may I ask that you guys be more specific when asking what me to do? It's my first charart, so I'm not as experienced with knowing what you guys are looking for. So when you say "define shading" for example, please tell me what you mean: Like if you want it to be brighter, lighter, darker, etc. Thank you! 01:35, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Cloudy did mention the lighter color. Defining shading means to make the shading stand out more, such as darkening it or sharpening it. <Here is a guide as to where your shading and highlights should go. Also on that page are tutorials on how to /do/ improve your shading. The highlight on the side lightens the color quite a bit; I would suggest using black as your shading instead of a lighter color to "push back" shallower areas of the charart. The shading on this image also needs to be on the legs, tail, and face as well as the side, and the shading needs to be blurred. 04:05, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Still working?

Re-uploaded. And yes, Cloudy, I am. Sorry! I've been busy with sports awards and stuff like that, and I've been trying to squeeze in working on my charart. I have a lot more time now, so don't worry. How is this? I had the shading get darker as it went across the body, since I imagined it hitting the back right of the image. I have also been "observing" how shading works in real life, and am putting that into practice. xD 11:15, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the shading and the highlight to make them blend more with the pelt, and could you perhaps lighten the shading, too? I can't really see the lineart. 15:16, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Not to deny your request, but if I lighten it again, someone will tell me to darken it again. And I made sure the lineart was still visible. But I'll blur the shading. 00:38, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. 00:45, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Misty's right, lighten the shading a bit, please.

Re-uploaded. Lightened it. Blurred it. I tried to get rid of all the waste, but if there still is some, please point out where o3o It's hard to see the waste with a dark image. 13:08, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. How's that? Black. And thank you, Kelpsey! So excited to have my first image CBAed! 8D 00:42, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Uh, it needs to be black, not pink-black.

Define the eye depth a bit, and maybe define the shading, too o3o 01:03, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

It is black. ._. And the eyes are fine..I've checked them each time I fixed the image, yet I'll check 'em again. And I'll define the shading, Beebs. 01:13, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

No, it's a pinkish-black. You even said so yourself. If you used black, then you wouldn't be able to see the lineart around the nose, which I still can.

Re-uploaded. Sorry Cloudy. I didn't know what to do: make it pink or make it black. So I did a mix. It's all black now. I defined the shading more, Beebs, and defined the eye depth too. Am I ready now to have my first image CBAed? 8D 01:22, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe blur the area where the shading meets the light area and I think you're good to go. c: 01:24, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Could you maybe lighten up the base pelt a little bit? I understand that it is a black cat, but it's a bit hard for me to see the shading. I think Bbun mentioned it, but there is a lighter streak on his side that throws off the color a bit on this >>> side. If you mean to keep it, perhaps add those to the face, legs, and tail where there isn't shading as well? He is looking very good! 02:07, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Blurred it Beebs, so excited! c: And Knight, the reason there isn't the same lighter streak on the parts you mentioned, is because I imagined the light source coming from the back right, causing it to get darker as it goes across the body. That's the shading, and I don't really want to change it unless someone else agrees with you. And thank you, its taken awhile for him to look this good, but I think I finally understand how this stuff works! Beebs says I'm good to go, but I respect your comment all the way. :D 02:23, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I think the darkness is okay, but the shading, and that lighter "stripe" of sorts is what throws it off. There also appears to be a lighter spot on the tail, but that could be my eyes. Also, yes, there has been improvement, but that doesn't mean just because one user says that it's "good to go" does not mean that you should disregard comments that are given afterwards.

Re-uploaded. Yes, understood. But I explained why I wouldn't do something. It wasn't like I was completely ignoring Knight, or as you say, "disregarding."[Not trying to sound mean] Anyway, had the shading fade more across the body, smoothing out that "stripe." Also took care of that bright spot on the tail. 05:16, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Did you draw over the lineart? It seems to be missing from inbetween the legs. And blur the shading a bit more. <span style="">13:13 Thu Aug 1 2013

Re-uploaded. Fixed the lineart inbetween the legs. Also blurred the shading. 20:11, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

I understand that the light source comes from the upper right, but could you expand the light on his face and chest a bit more, and also on << this leg? They should have more light on them, as they are prominent features on the cat. It may also be me, but the shading also looks a little blotchy, if you could clear that up a bit. 23:53, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Spread the shading over his body, and blurred it and spread it so it was no longer blotchy. 01:02, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Meadowslip (W) ~ Under Evaluation
Meadowslip is back, and I made sure I was in the table this time! -Fixed the shading majorly- Comments? 23:43, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Where's your light source? I can't see that a consistent one has been kept throughout the shading. Make the earpink more of a pink color, it's tending towards purple now. Also, blur the shading a lot, it's looking blotchy as of now. <span style="">01:00, 07/15/2013

Oh, also, remove the background. <span style="">01:11, 07/15/2013

Also, add more shading, and some on the head, and make it darker. <span style="">02:33 Mon Jul 15

Define the light on her front legs. 16:42, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Blur shading a ton, add light to front legs, expand earpink, and make the earpink less neon and more pink/paleish grayish. I feel like the color description I just gave you is extremely vague, so around this hex code=>8A7266 nice job so far. :] <span style="">22:58 Mon Jul 15

Re-uploaded. Thanks, Kelpsey. And, sorry this took awhile. I'm not sure if this is what you guys were looking for, but while I was working on it, I did a darker shading and a lighter ear pink. If you guys hate the shading texture, I'll change it. 01:46, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Still no light source. You need to find where the light is coming from (ie; top right) and then figure out where the shaded areas would be based on that. There's a shading chart here on the tutorials that you can look at if you need to. And define the earpink and make it a bit more grayish? It can barely be seen and still looks a bit neon-ish, imho. Try around #be9b9b? <span style="">02:16, 07/16/2013

Shimmer is right on the shading..but I think the ear pink is fine[sorry!] 09:50, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Shimmer, I respect your opinion greatly on the ear pink, but if I go any grayer, it will be transparent. So I'd prefer to keep it the way it is. And it doesn't look neon, it looks pink. Also, I will redo the shading according to your wish. I was just imagining Meadowslip in the long grass, stalking a mouse when I did her shading. I'll upload around 9-10am my time. 09:53, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to agree with Shimmer on the earpink. It does still look a bit neon, and it needs to be defined, and made more gray-ish. 11:18, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Fixed the shading[I think it looks amazing now]. I added a light source to the shading as well. I made the pink more gray and less neon. Any more problems? 13:30, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Shading needs to be blurred and defined a lot.And I don't think the light source makes sense. Take a look at the warrior's shading placement here for a little guide. 14:57, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Fixed the shading to match with the exmp..since that's what it seemed you guys were looking for..anything else? 21:05, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

There's blurred lineart on the head, and the ear pink still looks too neon.

Define the shading quite a bit. 23:49, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Although it may be just me, she looks a bit too pale, sorta nearing gray...maybe darken the base color a bit? Only if you want, though o3o 01:50, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Darkfrost, this wasn't declined before because you weren't on the table, it was declined because Icy had it reserved long before you. And she still does. Declining yet again. Please check the archives when you have an image declined to see the reasoning before posting.

Oh goodness, it's been much too long. I'm sorry, I confused the one week limit on original image reservations with the two week limit on tweak calling. So Icy's reservation expired before you reserved, I'm sorry. I'll undecline this. However it is going as Under Evaluation, as you're a kit.

I think the lineart's a bit blurred in places. 13:33, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

The lineart is not blurred, that is a darker shading. Trust me, I double checked. And, I'm not sure what "Under Evaluation" is supposed to mean. And, if Icy still wants to do Meadowslip, I can let her have it. I'm just a mild beginner at this, and I'm not that good at lighter cats as you can tell. :/ I'll practice lighter cats, though. But if Icy wants it, she can do it and I'll do a darker cat. :) I don't mind at all. ;) 19:18, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Lemme upload again and see if you guys like it.. 19:25, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Under evaluation is explained in the guidelines and Icy's reservation is invalid also explained in the guidelines. The lineart should look exactly the same as it does without a base pelt, shading, earpink, and the works with the exception of maybe the eye when concerning this particular cat. The shading needs to be emphasized and blurred as well, and their ought to be some shading on the tail. 19:44, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. 19:48, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

The lineart is blurred and needs to be fixed. Also, define and blure the shading, it looks really flat. The earpink needs to be defined, I sort of have to squint to see it. Are you using layers? And what program do you use? 20:27, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

It looks like you're working over the lineart. o.O Try working under it, as that's what's making it look off.

Could you make the gray a bit darker? Right now, it's a bit more like pale grey. 23:04, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Well, after a quick review of Meadowslip's profile, I noticed it only said gray. Not pale gray. So oh yeah, I made her gray. Fixed the line art. The line art on the head looks weird to me, but I didn't know if that's how it's supposed to be. I also fixed the shading, making sure there is a light source. Anything more? 12:47, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

We're not out of the woods yet. Blur the shading. 14:30, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I tried out a new tool for the shading, and it worked wonders... I think it's almost perfect now. And I fixed the line art on the head because it was driving me nuts. Are we almost out of that woods now, Sorrel? xD 17:19, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Not quite. Try Gaussian blurring the shading layer. Gaussian blurring will make the shading look more like shading. Right now the shading looks rather like a blurred paintbrush size 9, and nothing else. 18:33, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

The lineart on the head looks odd. I would like you to fix that. Also, you can raise the opacity and rate of your blur tool to make it blur much more than that. And the ear pink is a little neon, and you can see here to grab a color that would suit gray more. Blur the ear pink some more. Also, the shading looks very flat, and define the highlight on the back paws if you'd like. The lineart is blurred in some places. Do you use layers, by any chance? 20:09, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Yes I use layers. And I use GIMP, Hawky. Also, blurred the ear pink more. Put some highlight on the back paws. Increased my blur rate[didn't know you could do that xD]. And I have it set as a much darker gray...I don't know why the wikia isn't uploading it right. :/ 20:35, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

The lineart still looks odd... it's like it was "painted over"... and the shading needs to be darkened, blurred, and spread out a little more (last part is imho and totally optional).

Re-uploaded. Spread it a little and blurred it, but I didn't do it too much because I feared it would look pixelated. I also fixed the lineart, sorry that I painted over it a little..anything else? 21:19, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

It still needs expanding and defining. Use the shading placement link I gave you, and did you try using Gaussian blur? 21:33, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

There's blurred lineart and the earpink looks a bit neon. 19:12, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Fixed the shading. Fixed the lineart. Fixed the earpink.

It still appears as if the lineart is either blurred or 'painted over'. The shading needs to be darkened some, expanded, and probably blurred a bit. <span style="">12:10, 07/22/2013

Define the earpink/make it more pinker ^^  23:14, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded.

The lineart is still messed up. If you're using layers, the lineart should be the top layer, or second to top, depending on how you make your eyes and ear pink. o3o

Re-uploaded. There had been darker shading around the lineart, causing it to look painted over. I fixed all of it.

Ehhh, lineart still looks choppy in some places.

As for the lineart, may I suggest to go get another lineart image, open it on a layer above the image, selecting and then ctrl+x away the white, and then making your old lineart layer invisible? It'll fix any lineart issues, if you want to do so. Also, can you please add some more shading to the back of the cat (use a black airbrush airbrush at about 20), and the back of the legs, and darken it. Then blur it some more. This image is making great progress, keep up the good work! 16:22, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Smear the pelt into the earpink. 00:11, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Define (or rather, darken) the shading by the chest area. Want2know (talk) 15:26, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

I would actually suggest to get rid of the shading on the chest, as it doesn't match the light source on the paws. Are you still working on this? 17:16, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

._. Someone earlier told me to put shading there, though. And yeah I'm still working, been busy though. My image will be up later on today, as I am redoing the whole thing because I couldn't take the line art thing anymore. Which I don't mind doing it, since I wanted to try out some shading Rave recommended to me. 11:31, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

You need to upload today, or else this image will be declined, Darkfrost. You have one week from the last upload to upload again, or else it's considered lack of work.

Re-uploaded. Got a darker gray to work. And, it looks so unfinished because it is. Due to Cloudy's threat, I had to upload it when it wasn't done. So I will accept your comments. I need them greatly. ._. 12:54, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the shading, and where's the earpink? 12:59, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. And like I had said before, Sorrel. It wasn't finished due to Cloudy. And I also blurred the shading for you. 13:32, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Please stop saying it's Skye's fault you didn't get your image finished. .-. It's not her fault. The earpink is still too neon, try the colour hex code #d7aeae. <span style="">13:41 Mon Jul 29

Re-uploaded. How's that? And sorry for slamming Cloudy.. 14:23, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Blur your shading a bit. 16:43, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Darkfrost, one week without uploads is standard procedure for PCA. .-. If I see one more negative comment towards myself or any user, I'll decline your image. we've done that before for users who decide to blame others and be rude, and I won't hesitate to do it again if you're being rude. I didn't threaten you, as it's part of the guidelines. That being said, thicken your shading too.

Now senior warriors could also be a bit less rude in when we're saying images are going to be declined in the first place, now can't we? Either way, move that highlight on the head up to the top of the face, if that makes sense, and add some shading to the back of the shoulder. <span style="">18:30 Mon Jul 29 2013

Re-uploaded. How's that, Raelic? 00:40, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. ^Changed my shading light source because I didn't like the one I had before. 00:57, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Add some shading to the ear furthest from us, and blur the shading a bit. 02:41, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. 03:57, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the shading a lot, and where's the ear pink? It appears to have vanished or blurred away. I can't see it at all.

Re-uploaded. Blurred the shading a lot. And I put more ear pink in there. 00:55, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

The shading still needs to be blurred. I'd suggest maybe going to your shading layer, and using Filters>Blur>Gaussian blur, and using it at a rate between 13-23? Also, the shading covers up the forehead of the cat, where it wouldn't be due to the light source, maybe thin/erase that a bit? And last, the cat appears to be more brown instead of grey right now, if you could fix that real quick. Looking good~ 02:16, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Is this what you were looking for? -I'll change name back if it is- I'll also fix the head shading if it is. But first, I need to know if it looks right to you on the blurring. 02:38, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

The lineart's all blurred now. Also, you need to upload over the old file. Not make a new one. And am I missing something...? Why's she brown? Her description is gray.

Paleh, I swear it is your computer, because it reveals dark gray to everyone else. And to me, personally. So sadly, there is nothing I can do about that. Also, the file will be uploaded over the old one. I was testing the gaussian blur, which there has been a reason I have not used it before. Knight, it is not brown either. It is not. So, yeah. I'll put up the real image and you guys can start commenting on it again. 11:12, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Used a lighter shading. How's that? 11:44, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Can we not get snippy, please? Each monitor has a different color level, and theirs might be different from yours, which is why it could be showing up brown for them. So, anyways, define the shading, especially on the paws, legs, neck, and tail.

I don't know whether it's a monitor issue, but she looks more brown to me, than grey, as well. Could you also define the earpink a tad? 14:03, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Try filling the base color of the cat with hex code color #939393? 16:45, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Not sure how to explain this, but, curve the shading with the body to make it look like it fits snugly. Lol I probably sound like a freak but look at these photos. Notice how they curve convexly where the shoulders and back... shoulders? are. try to have your image do the same :) If this doesn't make sense, then forget about it because I'm probably just being a picky idiot XP <span style="">05:16 Thu Aug 1

Re-uploaded. I took your suggestion, Kelpsey, because I knew exactly what you were talking about, and that your not a picky idiot. xD And Knight, I used your hex code, how does it look now? I defined the shading more, and tried out the gaussian blurring again. How's it look? -I made sure there was no smudged, painted over, or faded lineart about 7 times before uploading- xD 12:51, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the shading; it's looking kinda blotchy. <span style="">13:14 Thu Aug 1 2013

There appears to be some missing lineart from the front leg...

Define the shading, and doesn't he need texture? 00:05, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Are you referring to the fur strands you see in the rogue picture? Hawktalon (talk) 00:09, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Yup, that's what Beebs means. It's gotta be there, considering it's on the rogue. They've gotta match. Also, based off the rogue, there should be a lighter underbelly, muzzle, and paws. And there's some waste by the head on the <-- side. <span style="">00:13, 07/16/2013

You might also want to define the shading too. <span style="">02:09 Tue Jul 16

Shading looks a tad flat. 13:31, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Since this is your first image, I believe this needs to be 'Under Evaluation' so I changed the heading ^^  03:53, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Also noticed some waste beside > this ear too. Very faint, but indeed waste. 11:39, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm working on it. I just need to find the texture used and then I'll reupload. Want2know (talk) 13:39, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Yes, I know there's no texture, but I still need to find the texture used. I've removed the waste and defined the shading. Hawktalon (talk) 15:54, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean by "find the texture used"? You create the texture on your own, with layers and layers of work. If you don't know, you can ask Raven, the OA of the rogue image, to find out how she made it. ^^;;


 * I asked Raven, and am awaiting an answer. And as for the texture, I'd prefer to have it as close to the original texture as possible (.)^D Hawktalon (talk) 16:06, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Darken and define the shading more. 00:57, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. With the help of Raven, I've added the texture, as well as darknened the shading. Want2know (talk) 18:36, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

The texture needs to be all over his body. His muzzle and underside need to be pale to match the rogue, too. 18:41, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I've put the texture all over the body, as well as paled the underside and muzzle. Want2know (talk) 19:33, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Could you define the darker parts of your shading? Also, his chest should be a lighter grey color, like on his paws. 17:19, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. So I've defined the shading by darkening it, and lightened the chest. Want2know (talk) 17:46, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Define the texture heaps. <span style="">01:37 Sun Jul 28

Re-uploaded. Added more texture so it's more visible and defined. Want2know (talk) 02:05, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Shading needs to be defined and your texture patches need to be blurred. 11:35, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

^ Lol! I realized when I read over my comment that I wasn't making much sense. What I mean by "blurring the texture patches" was that you should blur the highlight as it comes in contact with the fur. It looks kinda blotchy now. 11:38, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Tweaked the shading to define light source, as well as defined shading and blurred the highlight as well. Want2know (talk) 22:48, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Can you try to make the shading blend in more with the pelt? Also, can you define the lighter part on his muzzle? Right now it looks like a highlight. ^^  03:36, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Blended shading with the pelt and defined the light part of muzzle. Want2know (talk) 21:09, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

The texture does not match the rogue, so make it match more. Also, I don't see the light source. 03:11, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Make the texture go along with the how the fur would flow on a real cat, if that makes sense. <span style="">02:55, 08/4/2013

I'd prefer if you comment on what is currently posted because Scarlet hasn't posted for well over a week and has gotten a comment about the stripes.

I think you have to wait until the end of the 7th day or until it's at least declined. Anyway if this does stay up, define the shading depth tons and blur the stripes a tad. 17:24, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

It's not declined until it's declined, therefore you really should match Scarlet's pattern...

Couldn't the earpink be on either side, though? I thought it worked for both, but sorry if I'm wrong >.<  13:38, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded No, it can't work for either side, nor was it on the wrong side. The color was just really close to the pelt color and it made it appear that way since the earpink layer was under the shading layer. I changed the earpink color, hopefully that's fixed it. I hate the eyes on this blank x.x <span style="">14:21, 08/4/2013

I think the ear pink works on either side of --> ear. I know when I made Mosskit's alt, I had it on the other side, and it looked fine... I think it's artist's choice on these blanks, just like the loners.

I honestly think that you should just redo it- removing a black background would be hard because the cat becomes blurry as you zoom in and the cat needs fixing anyways; the shading needs to be blurred, the ear-pink needs to be blurred, and the spots need to be touched up a tad.

No, it being this orange makes it not match. It needs to be desaturated a ton, even if it does need a tint to match.

Re-CBA?

Sorry, but the face and shoulder highlight throw off the consistency with the light source as it looks like the light is coming from somewhere underneath rather than the left side because the highlights extend from the face down to the neck while the shoulder highlights cover the chest. You might also want to think about moving the haunch highlight more to our left for better consistency. 23:50, July 30, 2013

Pixlr, but I have Gimp and Paint.net too, although this was literally about an hour ago so I don't know how to use them. -- 17:38, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Gray and sourceless shading. And as for the white background, you can actually remove it using Microsoft Word but GIMP is the easiest method :) Leave me a message or PM me if you need help :) <span style="">02:22 Sun Aug 4

Here, simplest way to do it on Pixlr: Select the wand tool, make sure both boxes are checked, select outside the lineart and press delete. That should do it. If you're using layers go through them with what's selected and hit delete on each. If that doesn't work you can use gimp, ezimba, or MS paint. Figured I'd tell you how to do it on Pixlr, since that's what you used for the charart, I assume. That'd be simplest since you used Pixlr, but next simplest is probably going to be gimp. ^^; <span style="">02:47, 08/4/2013

I did what you said, Shimmer, but Pixlr was playing up so I looked at the apprentice tutorials and tried to do it on paint.net but as soon as I got to the add transparency to each layer, I got confused, as I followed it correctly but then the wand tool kept selecting the whole layer. 11:45, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

this doesn't deserve to be in the presence of the SC image <span style="">08:22 Fri Jul 26

The texture looks a bit different on the SC, like there's not as much texture or something. Also, blur the white on his ches just a smidge. 18:21, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

I think his paws (apart from the foreleg furthest from us) are a tad gray. 12:37, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Guys, I'm seriously not gonna be able to match the texture completely, I'm not blurring the white chest because that's how it is on the SC - smudged, not blurred, and of course the paws are gonna be a bit grey - I'm not gonna be able to fix that without removing the leg/paw shading. I'd like to keep these things as they are unless someone says so. <span style="">15:48 Sat Jul 27

The texture is up to you, I'm not saying that you need to match completely but I think that it could match more. The white chest does look more blurred on the SC, no matter if it isn't blurred, it looks like it is a tad and I think this one could be. And you can make the white whiter without removing the shading. You make a new layer, add white where you want it whitened, blur/smudge the white then lower the opacity to make it white. It is very possible. 16:55, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Duck, how do you know it could match more? Perhaps Berry's tried her best to match it, and she cannot match it anymore? I'm not entirely sure you can be the judge of whether or not it's capable of being matched "more", since you're not the artist of the image. Honestly, we're getting far too picky with what "matches" and what doesn't. I believe the texture is fine as it is.

I am very confident in Berry's abilities in charart making, and I do think she could just match it a bit more. And if we were going by that, then a lot of chararts would be being CBA'd just because the user 'tried' to make it match and did their best. All Berry needs to do is extend the texture to make it a bit longer, and it should be fine. 04:04, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

I never said I didn't have confidence in Berry's abilities. And the artist has said before that she'd rather not change the texture. Which, if you compare the the images, the texture really isn't that far off from one another. Also, I never said that...but if a user tries their best, then that's that, and we shouldn't push them if they don't want to change it. It was also said the texture was /up to Berry/, and she's said at least twice that I know of that she doesn't want to change it.

Nobody ever said that you did not have confidence in Berry's abilities. And the texture on this does look different, like Misty said, all she has to do is lengthen and thicken it out a tad. Cloudy, all Berry has to do is come out and say, I tried my best, I'd like some help. Then I'm sure users would do a join.me wit her or something to help, but if we're going to go by we shouldn't push users if they don't want to change it, then we might as well CBA everything without any comments because I'm sure every user tries their best, but we don't. Yes, I said the texture was up to Berry the second time, but Misty, also thought it should be changed. Also, I can only find once where Berry didn't want to change it. owo 15:49, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with Cloudy; the texture is absolutely fine. It does not need to match the style of the StarClan image pixel for pixel, as every single artist has different styles and different ways to do chararts. Berry has matched the StarClan image to the best of her ability, and honestly, she does not need to match it better. Both images have texture that are close in style to the other, and both textures are very well done. I went to the liberty to ask a friend and a family member if the images matched each other, which both people said yes. Our readers aren't going to ctritisize images whose textures do not quite match, but still look just fine. We are not going to CBA every image because the artist did their best, we CBA the image because it looks done to us, and ask for any other critique from other members. Some images need more improvement than others, and if you have objections to the CBA rules, then take it to the project talk page. The only thing that I see that needs improvement in the current upload is that his left front paw and back paws need to be whitened a bit, because they look grey unless you examine the image image further. 17:33, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think the texture matches very well. It makes him look more mottled than furry. <span style="">18:04 Mon Jul 29 2013

Oh and can you also expand the "highlight" on the face? His head looks almost entirely shading. <span style="">18:14 Mon Jul 29 2013

While I agree it doesn't have to match exactly, it does need to match somewhat, and WHiskey's right about it looking mottled rather than furry. Also, maybe dull the actual highlights a bit, as they make him look a tad shiny.

Re-uploaded Seriously I hate this image so much. If this version gets approved i don't even know. <span style="">09:25 Wed Jul 31

Front shoulder shading is faced the wrong way. I think if you make the shading just a little teal or something you can get away with it and plus it'll make the shading look more... defined. <span style="">17:36 Fri Aug 2

I think it's fine, and I am not doing tinted shading; no way. Shading is artist's choice. 01:01, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Define where exactly the patches are, as I can't tell, and it looks like somewhat blotchy shading.

Withdrawing. I lost the file. I wish I could still work on this. I found it but I'll upload later. 03:02, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Also, I should probably mention that the leader image is not tinted, and that's what everything was based off of, therefore you don't have to tint the image at all.

Re-uploaded. It's hard to work with such a small space, and the white is as defined as possible. The shading looked blotchy because of the area the shading was in and the way the white was smudged. 15:29, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Do you use Gaussian blur? Try using the regular blur tool, only blurring when you need it to blend over a surface like a shoulder/haunch/etc.That way you can adjust the blur size to make it blend over more or less, depending on the surface. hope that made sense =3 <span style="">18:06 Sun Aug 4

I already prefer using the blur tool, thanks. I am very experienced with GIMP and know my way around, so you don't have to tell me. -_- 20:07, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

She was just giving you a suggested, Hawk. No need to get snippy. Also, the patches should still be defined a bit more, as they look a tad overblurred and don't quite match juuuust yet. Placement is good, as is coloring, but just overblurred.

Re-uploaded. Sorry. 00:32, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Ah only thing I'm able to say is define the earpink a bit? Holy shizz, Rae, this is stunning~ 23:19, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Beautiful! Maybe blur the shading a little at the the end of the tail? 18:44, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Amazing...-wants to steal- Maybe also blur the shading on the ear farthest from us? But that's your choice. You don't have to. 20:44, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Earpink looks fine great in my opinion :) Where can I buy a awesomely feathery cat like this? Yeah, I'll pay 200 grand for that. <span style="">23:48 Tue Jul 30

I'll get the earpink because I really dont' like the color I used but I have no clue what either of you two are talking about. <span style="">1:47 Wed Jul 31 2013

Other than the fact that I can hardly see the earpink, this charart is legit PERFECT! Great job! --Splashmist3271 (talk) 01:47, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Please don't repeat critiques. <span style="">2:42 Thu Aug 1 2013

What we were saying, is that the parts we pointed out look like shading clumps. All were asking is to hit them slightly with the blur tool. ._. It doesn't take that much time, does it? About 30 seconds at least[not trying sounding mean, just helpful]. 05:20, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I got that much. However, I think that both the ear and the tip of the tail are fine and don't think that there's anything to fix. <span style="">13:10 Thu Aug 1 2013

Could you possible make her a little more white than pink? I get the shading's more than likely tinted, but I seriously thought she was pink at first. o.o

Looks perfectly fine to me. Not too tinted, looks clearly white imo.

Agreeing with Paleggy here. Don't want to sound like a beggar, but I was scrolling through the page and realized this has gone 48 hours without comment. x.x <span style="">22:54 Sun Aug 4

I know the stripes don't match so don't comment on them. I lost the original file that I made of this so I have to redo it. x.x

Perhaps define the shading a tad on the tail. Great job! Wanty (talk) 02:29, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

maybe sharpen the stripes a bit, and make the ends pointy? make the tail stripes at the tip of the tail curve a little to make the tail appear more cyllindric and less flat <span style="">17:29 Fri Aug 2

Uh, I asked for no comments on the stripes, as I'm redoing them to match better? Also, Want, I'll get right on the shading and upload sometime later on.

Re-uploaded. Hmm.

My apologies, didn't see that there. <span style="">02:12 Sun Aug 4

Lighten her up. <span style="">6:17 Sun Aug 4 2013

Re-uploaded. I didn't lighten her that much, since I don't want to deviate from the original coloring too much with the shading.

Define the shading on the tail just a tad. This is incredible work, Cloudy! I love how you did the shading. 15:31, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Eh, I think it's fine. But if others disagree with me, I'll change it.

I think she looks good to go, CBA? 18:20, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

kit blanks are sure demons to work with, comments? o3o 23:49, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Define the shading on the legs and tail.

Re-up. 01:08, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

She looks paler than her apprentice image. 15:32, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

I color-picked this from the warrior image, so I think it's fine. 15:33, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

I think stripes can use a little darkening. <span style="">22:56 Sun Aug 4

The stripes are also the same opacity and color as the warrior image, so I think it's fine as well o3o 22:57, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Can you sort of "sharpen" the stripes or taper them a bit at the ends. They look a tad paintbrushy.... 01:57, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
