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

Any suggestions for improvement? Splashmist3271 (talk) 20:55, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, all RiverClan cats are longhairs, unless they are stated to be shorthaired ^^;. Nice work of the stripes! Bb un   legs  20:59, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

Add/define the shading a lot. 21:00, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, will do! It might be a bit though. Splashmist3271 (talk) 21:38, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

Also, the earpink looks rather solid. Can you blur it just a smidge? 21:40, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

The stripes go onto the lineart. Remove, please (I love your tabby style)? 21:47, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

I fixed it- is this better? Splashmist3271 (talk) 22:34, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

The shading still needs to be defined a ton. And the tail looks rather odd-shaped. 22:36, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

I fixed it again. The tail is supposed to look kind of odd because he is described as having a short tail. Splashmist3271 (talk) 23:16, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

There's waste along his spine. Thin the tail, and blur the shading a lot. 23:25, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

I'll fix the waste, but I'm not sure how to blur the shading without blurring the tabby marks... Anyways, I have to go now, so the edited version probably won't be up until tomorrow. Splashmist3271 (talk) 23:38, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

What program do you use, Splashmist? 23:38, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 --Splashmist3271 (talk) 12:50, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I fixed the tail & shading (I tried some lighting too), and I added goldenish stripes just cuz. Splashmist3271 (talk) 14:45, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

There's waste by his front legs and chest. I really like this! 17:12, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and by his far ear, in between his legs, and tail (I didn't see that at first). And I think the lineart at the tail-tip is blurred. 17:16, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Oh okay, that's at least an easy fix! Glad you like it :)  Splashmist3271 (talk) 17:21, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I deleted the waste. Splashmist3271 (talk) 17:45, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the stripes a bit. 17:51, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Define the shading. 20:11, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Round out the lineart on the tail or something, it looks a tad square. I really like the stripes. 23:22, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, so should I blur the stripes or not? Silvereye1 and Trollsky are contradicting each other... Splashmist3271 (talk) 01:05, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

They're not. xD You can blur the stripes if you wish.

Okay, I darkened the shading, but I didn't blur the stripes because it looked a tad bit strange with the dark shading. Anything else I should do? 12:37, July 4, 2013 (UTC)Splashmist3271 (talk)

The stripes appear to be lost in the shading. Have you tried setting your shading layer to multiply and seeing what that does? If you need help, go ahead and ask one of us, and perhaps we could set up a join.me session? I use PS, so I'm familiar with the tools you're working with.

Could you (or someone else) help? I'm lost... this is my first charart. Splashmist3271 (talk) 16:32, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Usually for a charart to make it easier to edit, we usually separate base color, shading, lineart, and other markings on separate layers. Without them, it makes charart editing more complicated. If you already use layers, awesome. Just go to your shading layer, and above it, there is a drop down box. Click on that, and change the setting from "normal", or whatever you may have it on, to "multiply". It darkens it and shows markings below it. You can adjust the opacity from there to make your shading how dark or light you want it to be. Hope that helps! I absolutely love those stripes! <span style="">04:29 Fri Jul 5

Thanks so much for the help! Is this better, or is the shading too dark? --Splashmist3271 (talk) 13:46, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Can you blur the stripes juuussst a tad? 18:35, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

I think the stripes are fine, along with the shading. ^^ But could you try fixing that tiny 'dip' in his tail lineart and make it a bit more smooth? 05:12, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Might I suggest this lineart for the tail, Splash? If not, that's fine :) 20:32, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Still working on this? 21:06, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

If this is still being worked on, would this be considered a triangle tabby, or no? 03:54, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I think so.

I really like the lineart Sorrel, but I don't really want to start all over again. Is this better? --Splashmist3271 (talk) 20:27, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

The shading could be blurred a bit, and the stripes seem to get lost in the shading. Maybe set the shading layer onto multiply? 20:29, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

He's also looking a tad green in color. <span style="">22:30 Sat Jul 13

I don't really know what to do about blurring the shading because I had to close my photoshop program while I went on vacation, so now the layers aren't separated (into main, stripes, shading, etc.), so it would be really hard to do around the stripes. I already set the shading layer onto multiply, and I think it looks fine. Also, I don't really think it looks green... --Splashmist3271 (talk) 23:02, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with Raven, it does look a tad bit green. 23:18, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really know what you want me to do about that... --Splashmist3271 (talk) 23:57, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Change the colors. Move the color closer to red/orange and farther from yellow.

Is that better or is that too ginger? --Splashmist3271 (talk) 14:33, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry that the layers aren't separated anymore, but the problems still need to be fixing. You can either withdraw or forge on ahead with this, but either way, I agree with the comments above that have not been addressed. The shading needs blurring and the stripes probably ought to be changed. You can go here to possibly try out a different tabby pattern. 20:10, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I read and addressed every comment above; I already blurred the shading, and multiplied it, and darkened the shading, and fixed the stripes, and everything else that people said to do. I actually just looked at the Apprentice Tutorial page yesterday, coincidentally- I saw all of the tabby designs, but I also remember that there was a whole conversation about 'triangle tabbies' (which I THINK that mine would be classified as) and last I heard people were allowed to draw them. ANYWAYS, I can't edit right now because I am out of town for my Great-Grandmother's funeral, so I don't have any of my files (at least I have A computer!). --Splashmist3271 (talk) 02:11, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Well, regardless, the shading still needs blurring.

I'll blur it on Monday when I get back, but I don't feel that I have to change the stripes. --Splashmist3271 (talk) 13:54, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

I'm like 90% sure, that triangle tabbies were agreed upon not to be drawn, but I'm not 100% sure this is indeed one. But anyways define the shading on the base of the tail, the base of the haunch, and the paws some. x3 19:27, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I'll fix the shading when I get home. 90% of the people who commented on this said that they liked the stripes, so I don't feel that I need to change it. --Splashmist3271 (talk) 00:08, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

Well, we did say that triangle tabbies weren't really allowed, so...I would say change the tabby style. There are many others. ^^ Also, that edge of the shading on the back seems to be...sudden, like, it becomes suddenly darker from the rest of the shading. (sorry, don't know how to explain it. xD) 22:02, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

As this is not reserved on the table, I must decline this image. Sorry, but it needs to be reserved with the proper rank and date.

Ummm... it WAS reserved, but I want to withdraw this anyways because I have too many other things going on. --Splashmist3271 (talk) 17:09, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Add shading to the tail and get rid of the light spot on the far back legs, as your light source appears to be coming from the front.

I think when you blur the whole thing/Gaussian blur some shading areas recede a little. Repaint the area directly left of her shoulder, and left/under her leg. Also define tail shading. :3 <span style="">03:03 Sun Jul 14

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

Could you lighten up her a little bit more, and then add/define "highlights" (not necessarily a new layer, just places where there is no shading) to the paws, legs, face, and maybe a little on the tail there. Nice job~ <span style="">18:28 Wed Jul 10

Now it's really dark on the neck while it's barely visible in the other places. If you're using gaussian blur, I'd suggest not using that on kits. Not enough control. Define the shading everywhere but the neck, and maybe expand it too.

After researching some chararting stuff, I've finally made my first wiki charart! *Hooray sound effect* I smudged it a bit to give the appearance of fur, hope it's not minded...

The shading looks too yellow. 02:44, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

REUPLOADED 2X <span style="">03:34 Sun Jul 14

The texture in the shading is really awesome. However, the shading still needs blurring as well as definition so I suggest (if you use layers) to overlay a layer of shading underneath (or over, it depends on how it looks to you) with a little lower opacity to really emphasis the shading and add depth while still keeping the fur texture. On the earpink, you might want to try smudging up (vertically) rather than to the side (horizontally). You also could try adding some depth in the eyes by varying the color shades. Nice job so far. 03:50, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'll fix the image in a sec, but before I tweak I wanted to say that I disagree with your comment on the eyes, as I took a really long time to make sure all the colors and stuff blended in. If someone else says something about that, I'll fix though :3 And thanks you guys! <span style="">05:22 Sun Jul 14

I agree with 'teldy on the eyes, and perhaps lighten them up a tad? I can barely tell them apart from the lineart, and had to quint to see them.

Also, on the back, close to the head, that shading seems a tad too dark, could you lighten it a little? This is splendid, nice work  06:14, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

The earpink color and base pelt color are off a few shades when comparing this to the rest of the images. The earpink needs to fill the ear, or at least the top half of it. 22:56, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

So, upon realizing that I need to match images, I (painstakingly) redid the whole image. And restyled the earpink less realisticly to fill the ear. Am I allowed to, like, take away my image rights? <span style="">05:46 Tue Jul 16

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.

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 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.

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

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)

Mole (Cat) (Star) ~ Under Evaluation
So after careful analysis, here's my first Charart! Hawktalon (talk) 00:04, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

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)

Still working? 18:34, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

There's some waste by the right ear. Thistleflight (talk) 21:24, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Define the shading on the foreleg furthest from us. 14:54, July 21, 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)

Colors are all the same as the leader. I have tried to define the shading as much as possible on the haunch, but it keeps fading out, so that's as defined as it can be. Comments? 15:58, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm maybe define the shading on the area between the top of the haunch and tail, maybe? And maybe smudge the fur into the earpink, as well. Nice work, Hawky! 15:59, July 20, 2013 (UTC)\

My first charart on the team! You may be slightly surprised by how well this turned out. I used the exact colors from the elder version, and they match up well. Comment away~ 22:02, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

This is nice for a first charart! Blur the shading a bit, though. 22:08, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

As this is your first image, the heading needs to be "under evaluation". Define the shading, blur it as suggested, and expand it. I'm also unsure of the lightsource, and where it is?

Re-uploaded. And thanks, Beebs. I blurred the shading and expanded it. I made sure you could see where the light source was coming from[left front, like Whiteberry is facing the sunrise]. 12:30, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Add some shading to his neck. Not bad, for your first! I remember mine; Yellowfang's star. Living hell! xp 14:51, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Lol, I'd imagine, Sorrel. It's pretty good though. ;) 19:45, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Knight fixed my terrible shading, so it looks better now. It looked awful, becuase I was using the burn tool until I discovered guassian blurring and layers. Anyway, back to this. Add some shading to the back of the head and neck. 20:00, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Blur the shading, please?

Re-uploaded. Blurred the shading. And yeah, that would make sense xD. I started using the airbrush tool, so it would go on lightly, and I could darken it to my satisfaction. Then I just raise my blurring rate and blur. And I'll get on that shading, Sorrel. 20:53, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

The shading still needs to be blurred more. 21:01, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Blurred the shading and added some shading to the neck and back of head. I didn't want to blur it too much, or else it wouldn't match the elder. 11:09, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Well, only the colours need to match the elder, the shading can be totally different. Blur the shading some more and add shading to the back of the neck. 19:48, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

It looks like the shading has receded from the lineart edges some. Fix please? <span style="">20:12, 07/22/2013

Smudge the earpink into the fur some. 21:22, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Can you add some more shading to the tail, maybe extend it to the tip? 22:46, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Thank you Shimmer for pointing that out, I fixed that. I blurred the shading, Hawky. I smudged the ear pink into the fur, Beebs. And I spread the shading to the tip, Misty. 23:22, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

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. Splashmist3271 (talk) 17:17, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
