Whiskernose (E) - CBA
changes So I'm quite proud of this. 16:32 Sun Oct 5

The shading looks like it's leaking away from the lineart in a few areas, like on the chest and the front leg closest to us. I also think the shading on those parts could be lighten for it looks a little blotchy than the rest of the shading. I like this .o. 12:36, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

The shading looks fine to me, and it doesn't seem blotchy at all. Could you smudge and/or blur the ear pink a bit?

Oh no I just saved the file =/ anyway, Reups! changes are here 16:58 Mon Oct 6

Define the shading/light on the tail and legs? 22:06, 10/6/2014

Still working?

Reups. meh I've been busy with school.... anyway I defined the overall shading to go with the back shading. 13:02 Sun Oct 12

Some of the shading is fading towards the lineart. 14:44 Sun Oct 12

Slightly define the neck shading more and even out the tail shading. 01:43, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Lighten the shading around the back of the haunch/rump, and add some depth to it. 11:17, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Reups 15:48 Mon Oct 13

Thin out the shading on the tail, and probably add some light near the base of the tail behind the haunch. 15:50 Mon Oct 13

I think I did this right? Reups 16:08 Mon Oct 13

Define the light on the tail? 00:42, 10/14/2014

Reups 14:52 Tue Oct 14

I don't think the chest would be shaded with this source? And blur your tail shading a bit. 16:11, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Reups I blurred the tail shading, but I don't find any fault with the shading. It's how I shade. 18:09 Wed Oct 15

I see no fault with it either, Amber. Perhaps we'll go with a CBA instead of more comments? I sure think that's a nice idea.

Lionblaze (Alt. Warrior) ~ For Approval
First time I've truely loved how my texture came out (thank you for the tutorial, Ferk). Comments? 21:07, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

His eyes should be amber, like his other images. Also blur/smudge the shading (whatever your preference is) so it's a bit smoother. Could you also smudge or smooth out the texture a bit more too? All in all (I'm being nitpicky), this is really good. .o.

Reuploaded. I didn't realize the eyes had to match even if it's an alt. And thanks. 21:26, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Hey no problem! I'm sorry I never got around to that other one.... Oops. Anyway, friend, the texture on the tail should curve with the tail. It looks like it's all going one way. I wanna know how everyone gets their texture to look feathery like this. Please tell me how. Mine looks blocky and lame. 22:04, 10/6/2014

It looks like you've got a blank spot of shading on the back. Did you mean to do that? Ferk, try blurring your texture. That's how I get mine to look somewhat normal. 10:14 PM, Mon Oct 6, 2014

Reuploaded. Basicly, I put the texture layer on multiply and added the texture. Then, I blur it (using blur tool), and used the smudge tool at a size of 05 (Gimp). I set the layer opacity and then duplicated it (mostly to give it definition). And yes, I meant to do that. 22:22, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading.

Reuploaded. 23:39, October 8, 2014 (UTC)

Define the light on the legs and feet, and blur (and possibly expand) the tail shading, mainly around the base of the tail. 06:39, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. 18:48, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

No comments in a while, and I like this, so CBA? 14:44 Sun Oct 12

Sorry, but the shading on the side by the haunch is blotchy with a light patch surrounded by shadows. Also, you might want to curve the shading edges a bit more and blur it. And slightly nit-picking, but the shading is receding from the lineart on the back of the cat. 01:47, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

I honestly think it's fine. I've used this style of shading before (see Mistystar's Alt Warrior image), and no one commented on it before. As for the receding shading, it's actually the texture, and I can't really fix it. However, I'll change it if someone else agrees. 19:59, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Atelda. 00:47, 10/14/2014

Reuploaded. 00:54, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Remove the patch of light on the flank by filling it in with shading. <span style="">1:22 Tue Oct 14

Reuploaded. 20:07, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Smooth out your shading a bit. It seems really really dark in some spots and then really really light in other spots. 16:08, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Shading is not required to be the same darkness throughout the entire image. While we're on the topic of shading, would you mind extending it and maybe adding some light, as I kinda did here? Red is where I think it could be expanded, and the blue would be the light. I also remember hearing that not all the back feet would be in shading unless the cat is sitting awkwardly- but I could be mistaken about that, and someone else is more than allowed to contradict me on that note.

Reuploaded. I redid the shading. 18:42, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Pebblefoot (Star) - For Approval
this pattern was too hard to match Brick  05:55, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading on the paws. Well done! 08:44, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups, thanks! Brick 21:10, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

You need to make him paler to match the tweaked warrior (kit and apprentice shall be tweaked shortly); I just ran the dodge tool over it. 21:46, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups, used the dodge tool and lightened the opacity of the flecks a bit. Brick 22:20, October 7, 2014 (UTC)

He needs to be paler I believe. And also it may be just me but the image looks tinted green. I also see stray solid pixels on the tail. 12:00, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re-ups, the image shouldn't be appearing greenish, and it doesn't look green on my screen. Might just be your monitor. Brick 15:32, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Changes, http://i58.tinypic.com/vsdf9x.png Brick  18:23, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not seeing any greenish tint on my screen. <span style="">7:58 PM, Sat Oct 11, 2014

The direction of light is confusing, particularly with the tail shading and a little bit with the chest. You also might want to consider darkening the shading for the chest/paws/face region. 01:52, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Don't darken it; define it. I know it's there, because of everything around it, but I can't see it well compared to some spots. <span style="">00:49, 10/14/2014

Re-ups, tried my best to define it. As for the spot of light on the chest, it should be alright, as I've seen other images use this light source before. And sorry for the late re-upload, I've had a geography test to revise on. Brick  The Bite of '87  18:53, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading on the paws. This is amazing :) <span style="">18:21 Wed Oct 15

Tornear (star) ~ For Approval
Yep, this is very soon after my last one, is that even allowed...

Well, I tried, the stripes are really hard to match because the artist is obviously better than me, and trying to transfer the design onto a starclan image is annoying. I've only just noticed but why is Tornear called Tornear if he hasn't been described with a torn ear? 20:04, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

The shading seems quite flat. Darkening it or adding another layer of shading would be the fix. This is pretty! <span style="">21:36 Fri Oct 10

Re-uploaded Thank you, Hawky, I've duplicated both shading levels, so that it should be a lot more defined. -- 22:45, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Define the ear pink on his left ear? Brick  The Bite of '87  10:40, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded Defined ear pink for both of his ears, which may of caused some of the shading to appear more pale. -- 22:45, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Might just be my screen but his stripes are looking a little green. --EosOfTheDawn (talk) 14:34, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think they look green, Eos. 17:44, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

I know it is my character art, but I don't think they look green, although if other people touch up on that I'll change it. 19:15, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

They actually do look a bit green to me. Maybe it's a highlight or something like that and it decided not to function properly.

Re-uploaded I've darkened the stripes and removed the highlight completely, but I can still see green, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix that? 22:24, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps give the stripes a black or dark gray tint and that'll probably do the trick. 14:33, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded- Thanks for that Tiger, but I've tweaked the texture, and I've multiplied the layer the stripes were on so they appear better, I hope.... --  17:45, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Are is eyes blue? If so make them crystallized. 21:29, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Eyes are perfectly fine. However, blur/smudge the shading on the back/haunch/whatever part of that body that is. Looks a bit too sharp. <span style="">00:51, 10/14/2014

He looks really blue.. perhaps try making his stripes more black?-- 01:22, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded I think it was the tinted shading making him appear blue, so I've edited the shading, hopefully that's done the job. I've also played around with his stripes a little, making them lighter, to appear even less green. x3 -- 17:52, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Make the stripes more dark gray like his other images. And perhaps add more stripes to the chest and legs? Not too many though just a couple more. 16:16, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded Tweaked the shading and the stripes. -- 16:56, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Tallpoppy (star) - For Approval
I hate this pattern... And I'd like somebody to tell me how to deal with this alignment thing, 'cause I don't know how EosOfTheDawn (talk) 15:53, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

Define the tail and facial shading. This is very good Eos =)  16:34, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

For the alignment all you do is  <span style="">4:59 PM, Sat Oct 11, 2014

Re-up Thanks both of you! Just looked through some of my first chararts. Argh. --EosOfTheDawn (talk) 19:31, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think there would be any shading in the (our right) ear, because of the light source you're using. Great job on those stripes! 17:42, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Please blur stripes. Other than that, beautiful job! 21:34, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

I might not explain this correctly...  Just a bit of nitpicking but, the white in the pupil in the dark side is brighter than the one on light side... perhaps change them to have the same shade of white. 00:02, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Eyes are fine. Guys, honestly, this nit-picking on the smallest stuff like the white in the eye has got to stop. Anyway, please blur/smudge the chest shading a bit. <span style="">00:54, 10/14/2014

can you define the facial and leg shading just a smidge? 01:25, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Sharpen the stripes just a little bit more to match the other images. 16:18, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Storm (Ro) (Lo) ~ For Approval
this is so bad it's giving me nightmares. 16:07, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

She's more silver on her other images. Lighten her a bit; and define the shading on the four legs. 16:26, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Reups 16:53, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Define the face and feet shading? 11:25, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Reups changes be here, and I did some stuff with the shading and stripes 15:31, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading on the far back foor? That is literally the only thing I see, this is gorgeous. 15:32, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reups changes really? Thank you! 15:37, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Try defining the pale markings some. 19:49, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Grasspelt (Star) - For Approval
-sobs- More dying kittehs! 01:21, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Blur the shading, and define it on the paws. 06:57, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re Uploaded 14:22, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Smudge the fur into the earpink, define the lightsource as the tail tells me it's coming from one direction and the rest of the body tells me another direction. And the body shading is leaking away from the lineart and where the tail is on the body. And wouldn't this have to be under the old post or at least the old post archived before this being reposted? Not sure, maybe someone can give second opinion? 14:31, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

I think Tiger's fine with it being here- she was told in chat to just make a new section and the old post would be archived. I also think that smudging the earpink is optional? But I reccomend it, especially on these blanks.

Define the earpink and the face shading. 15:04, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Could you possibly brighten the earpink? It looks as though it blends completely and that there is no earpink at all. 21:36, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re Uploaded People on the chat said the lightsource and "leaking" line art was fine so I didn't change it. 23:07, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re re uploaded. I brightened up the earpink. 23:33, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

It would be shaded fully behind the tail. The shading shapes around it at the moment. At least shade that over. 00:49, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Define the light on the legs and tail? <span style="">00:56, 10/14/2014

Add and define the shading along the edges.-- 01:24, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Add some depth to the shading, too. 09:33, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

The ears are beautiful. Good job Tigerbird with brightening them up. I don't know if you could make it any better. 11:15, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Smear the fur into the earpink a bit more. I also think there is receding shading on the side, around the tail tip. 16:02, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reupped I think smearing fur is optional but I did everything ya'll suggested. 00:44, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

It's not always optional. On some blanks it can be necessary, especially on these. Define the light on the paws and tail, and then lighten your shading a bit and blur it. I still see receding shading around the haunch and around the tail tip. 16:00, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Pretty sure it's optional tbh but anyhoo I don't think changes are showing (for anyone) <span style="">4:31 PM, Wed Oct 15, 2014

It is not mandatory on any blank, Darkfrost. That's a very common and quite annoying PCA rumor among members that needs to stop. You can blur the ear pink (as I used to do and sometimes still do) and get the same desired results. Also, no, the changes don't seem to be showing for me either.

Tangleburr (Ki) ~ For Approval
Breeze withdrew Tangle so... hehe. I was working on Tangle during my vacation cause I was bored ._. anywho, :3  02:29, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Expand the shading and lighten it some. 07:03, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Also, would you like the file for the apprentice, so you can get the colors right? 08:09, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded 13:50, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

There's waste everywhere, and IDK if its just me or the waste, but the lineart seems blurred? 13:54, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded Waste will be the death of me xD 14:00, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Work on the texture a bit. <span style="">3:16 PM, Tue Oct 14, 2014

The file should be named Tangleburr.kit, not Tangleburr (KI). Brick  The Bite of '87  15:29, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded Renamed it correct finally sorry about that ugh I feel so n00bish... 19:13, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

There's some waste around the feet. Also, I feel bad for pestering you so much about this, but I think it should be in lowercase, so .kit instead of .Kit   but i'm not sure because i'm not sure if the wikia is caps-sensitive or not so it might not matter. Brick  The Bite of '87  20:13, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded Don't feel bad. I'd rater do it the right way than the wrong. 20:52, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Frost (Star) ~ For Approval
First charart as a warrior. c: Yeah I said I'd go with a longfur, but I had to take my brother Frost when I saw he became available. :3 I'm actually quite proud of this..I won't darken the shading any more than this, as I don't want the white to look gray. Comments? 20:44, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Make the texture flow with the body/fur. <span style="">21:40 Tue Oct 14

It actually already is. I've made it flow exactly how it would on a short-haired cat. I could define some of the texture so it's more obvious where it's going..any other thoughts on making it look more obvious? That's the best I can think of at the moment. 22:01, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Uh, I think it's going in the wrong direction. Instead of going in an upward/downward direction on the main part of the body, it should be going left/right, right/left (however you wish to say it), I believe. I've never seen texture go in that direction and I don't think it flows like that on a cat, so I'm pretty sure you'll need to change that...

Gotta agree with Skye here. 22:09, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Eh, my friend she has a short-haired cat and its fur goes in an upward/downward way, so I just did it after him. But upon your guys' request, I switched the direction. 22:27, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading on the legs and tail. <span style="">22:34, 10/14/2014

The file name is wrong. It needs to be File:Frost.star.png. Reupload over the file that's already on the wiki.

Re-uploaded. Oh sorry, the other one had been titled like that so I assumed. Changed it.

Fixed plenty of errors. I want to get this approved really fast so I can work on one of the new cats, so I went through and fixed every error I saw. 01:35, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Meh, comments? 00:11, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

I updated the blanks after you made this, so add whiskers (same for turtle tail below). Aaand define the head shading? 00:17, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

This looks awesome. :) The pupil looks a bit oddly shaped though - maybe round it a bit? And also, have a bit of light on the hind leg and the front right leg. Jayie  Unwritten words~ 00:29, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

re-up 00:36, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading. I know it's there, but it looks a wee bit flat and I'm having issues seeing it.

Turtle Tail (Ancient) - For Approval
All colors are from her other images, so I will not change them.

That tail is amazing. I hate to ask you to do this, but define the shading? I know it's there, I just can't see it. <span style="">0:18 Wed Oct 15

Re-uploaded. Defining it on this pattern is impossible, and I don't think I can define it anymore. Also that tail took me a damn hour to even try and get right.

Maybe just define the ear pink in her ears? She's beautiful; Gray Wing was a lucky tom. 15:31, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I love her pattern so much, thank you. =)

Hollow Tree (Ancient) - For Approval
Not totally sure of the shading, but I'm really happy with the colors and the stripes. I tried something new with the stripes, and I tried to make the colors match what some brown tabbies look like. Thoughts? Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:28, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Define the overall shading. 00:37, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Reuploaded. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:43, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Reupped again, added saturation and lightened the eyes. Jayie Unwritten words~ 00:50, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Would you object to darkening the shading everywhere but the tail? If you don't want to, that's totally cool- this is amazing and really pretty and I think you did Hollow Tree some real justice. 8D

The shading has been darkened, and I played around with the opacity. :) And thanks. :D Jayie  Unwritten words~ 19:18, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Dewy Leaf (Ancient) ~ For Approval
weh?? 00:49, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Define the haunch shading just a bit. Okay how did you make this.

Half Moon (Ancient) - For Approval
meh. <span style="">00:52, 10/15/2014

Smooth out the shading on the tail and perhaps brighten up the entire left (our left) side of her, especially on the head. There's a lot of shading and that looks really gray.

Graywing (WC) (Ancient) ~ For Approval
I've added to the table now. --Stealthfire star (talk) 02:44, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Lighten the shading, and then define it everywhere. 08:36, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Also, the wiki is case-sensitive, the file should be named Graywing (WC).ancient.png, not Graywing_(WC).Ancient.png. 08:55, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Shouldn't he have a ripped eartip? RaisuRice (talk) 14:12, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think so, because when he was in the tribe, he didn't have the ripped ear tip. Define the light on his forepaws. 14:31, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Try to give the shading more shape. You could use some shading on his shoulder, have it line the inner edge of his tail instead of just being in the tip, more shading higher up on the neck, and shading along his cheek. Jayie Unwritten words~ 16:09, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Sharp Hail (Ancient) - For Approval
- This sucks. Do you know how hard it is to make a halfway decent charart in your iPad? My computer is broken :(. Anyways, my iPad can't do png files or transparent background. I did this on a horrible app. This have to do. (This is my first charart anyways so this isn't the best one I had ever saw.) If someone can make the final updated piece of this transparent and ping file, that would be appreciated. 02:53, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Reupload: I forgot to out pink on the ear. 03:06, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

The lineart isnt visible in most places, the blank is incorrectly sized, there's waste, and i dont see shading. Also, neon earpink.

Apps are a horrid choice for chararting, I reccomend waiting until you computer works, and then using GIMP or Pixlr. 08:34, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

This should also be named Sharp Hail.ancient.png, not Sharp_Hail,ancient.jpg 09:03, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

If you're using an iPad, I would suggest the app ArtStudio. It's pretty similar to GIMP, and has a lot of the same tools. Jayie Unwritten words~ 13:17, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Make sure you save it as a PNG, and the file dimensions should be 157x129 PX. <span style="">4:12 PM, Wed Oct 15, 2014

This was fun :D 08:47, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Blur your shading a little. This is gorgeous, Shinx! =) 16:04, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you but could you please just always assume my shading is smudged, and not blurred? I really dislike blurred shading at this point, and I just get a little irritated when people ask me to blur it (I even complained to Jayie about it more than a little rudely, before). Sorry, just a bit of a nitpicky thing; I know theyre both the same thing, but with a different tool. Aw nawww, my internets dying again... 17:27, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Where are the whiskers? =P Also, perhaps smudge the ear pink, smooth out the haunch shading (only if you want to), and define the light on the chest?
