Morningflower (Q) - For Approval
eh.i didn't have much to work with in terms of matching the stomach. 18:02, 07/21/2014

Blur the patches a bit. They're not as hard-edges on her other images and they're smoother, for lack of a better work.

reuploaded also i added shading on the shoulder because i forgot it 19:13, 07/21/2014

Define the shading on the chest and darken it a bit.

'reuploaded ok i'm really proud of this 02:38, 07/22/2014

Define the shoulder shading a little bit. I know it's there, but I can't really see it.

reuploaded 18:52, 07/26/2014

Blur the feet shading.

They look fine to me. 22:55 Wed Jul 30 2014

Maybe blur just a little? 1:50 AM, Thu Jul 31, 2014

Mapleshade (A) - For Approval
ew. im not totally happy with this. but. here it is. 21:48, 07/21/2014

the spiky fur on her back looks a bit out of place, perhaps remove a few of the spikes. 21:53, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

I think it's fine to be honest. It takes away from the look that she is actually ragged... I'd rather not remove it unless more people agree. 22:21, 07/21/2014

I gotta agree with Duck. Maybe if they went up the back a little more? They kinda..just stop when they probably should continue up the spine..

Maybe look at the other Mapleshade apprentice image to get an idea about how to do the spikes? Jayie Unwritten words~ 22:27, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

reuploaded 23:06, 07/21/2014

Her muzzle and chest look really gray.

The light is coming from her bum, so it will look that grey... I don't see how I can lighten it without being told to define it again. :/ 13:46, 07/25/2014

It is still very possible to lighten the shading and have it visible. I can see it just fine, but it's making the white look too gray right now. I'm not telling you to make it at like 0% opacity or anything, just enough so I don't have to squint to tell it's honestly white.

reuploaded 20:08, 07/26/2014

I'm sorry, I know it must be frustrating but the shading is lost on me. Also, to keep the muzzle, chest, or whatever looking whiter, just erase that part of the shading with the eraser at a low opacity. 01:26, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

Her fur is sticking up more like she's frightened or angry then ragged or spikey or whatever her description is I can't remember. The lineart for the fur should be less uniform and there should be bigger and smaller clumps and they wouldn't all stick directly vertical.

That's what I did, 'Teldy. I'm assuming you mean to define it elsewhere based on the fact that it's 'lost' on you? As for Breezey; thanks I'll try to smooth them out. This is my first time doing ragged fur so I have no idea what I'm doing lol. 23:26, 07/30/2014

Frost (Star) ~ Declined
He needed a StarClan image. Since shading tint doesnt have to match, i made the shading have a slightly blueish tint. Also, this is my first time doing texture, so its not the best. =P Colorpicked from his Rogue image. ~Breezeheart~ (talk) 02:07, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

His eyes look almost black. Can you please lighten up the color a bit so I can see it? Color-picked or not, on the rogue, the eyes are smaller, so you can get away with darker colors much easier. Also, blur the lower back shading, and darken the texture a bit.

Re-up.  Lightened the eye color to a lighter blue, darkened the texture a bit, and blurred the shading. is that better?~Breezeheart~ (talk) 03:01, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the texture more. Comparing it to the rogue, this is still too light. Nice job on the texture too, btw.

Define the shading. Brick 05:15, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

'''Re-up. '''Darkened texture again, and defined the shading. I tried my best at darkening it; if you think its still too light, ill redo the texture. Is that better?~Breezeheart~ (talk) 08:12, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

His eyes still look really dark, maybe try making a gradient fron light to dark going up? I'd say don't lighten the bottom too much, but if you have it lightened, expand? One thing I've noticed always helps is the dodge and burn tools. 21:12 Tue Jul 22

It is going from light on the bottom to dark. I think its fine, unless someone else agrees.--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 23:25, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

The eyes look fine to me/look fine on my computer. Blur the stomach shading. 12:30, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Nah, I still think they're still a liiiiittle too dark and there's not much depth to them. With this image, you have a little more freedom with the eyes, and you don't have to use the same like two-four pixels of color that are used on the rogue (as long as they're looking the same, but with the eyes on the rogue being small as hell, you can't tell tbh), but you can add a little more light to his eyes without it being too light/too dark/ect.

1db9e8 was the lighter colour used and 0a576f was the darker that I used for the rogue btw 00:15, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. Lightened eyes, and defined them. Also blurred the belly shading. Is that better?--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 00:30, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps define the light everywhere but the main part of the body. So, it would be the chest, face, tail, and paws/legs.

Okay. Ill reupload this as soon as i get a new monitor. It shouldnt be longer than a few days/a week before i can reupload this. ^^'--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 05:20, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

I actually think the light is fine, except for maybe on the tail. 22:31 Sun Jul 27

Again, sorry about the lack of uploads the past few days. i am still active with this, since i dont want this to get declined. Ill reupload this as soon as i can after i get a new screen.--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 00:22, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

Reminder to upload soon, or else someone will have to decline this.

Uh, I cant exactly reupload this when i cant even use my screen. My laptop screen got shattered; and im going to buy a desktop monitor to plug into it instead. So, right now, i have no access to the files or gimp. But if you have to decline this, go ahead.--~Breezeheart~ (talk) 03:25, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

I'm gonna have to, I'm sorry. Declined due to lack of uploads. A week is a week, no matter what happens...

Speckle (Q) - For Approval
Who am I to deny the needy? (in need of a new blank, that is...) 23:42 Sat Jul 26

Define and add depth the shading, and I think the flecks disappear under it a bit. 23:45, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. I blurred the shading more and lowered the opacity on both layers to about 68... but I'm not sure about defining it/darkening it because I don't know how to get the flecks to not disappear on her belly. which sucks because I really want to darken that shading up more. <span style="">23:51 Sat Jul 26

Darken, define, and expand the shading, and sharpen the flecks some. 00:20, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. <span style="">00:30 Sun Jul 27

Some of the flecks still get lost in her belly/cheek/lower tail shading. 00:04, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

You can always tint the shading more towards a black or alternative color that's not as similar to her pelt color. And darken, define, and expand the shading some more too. 01:15, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

If you're going to use a color that does stay close to her base, then you could use the "multiply" layer option as another alternative. That should decrease the amount of flecks that appear to fade away. =)

re-up. I did pure black shading like Alteda suggested, and I set the layers on Multiply. The opacities for the three layers are 59, 59, and 13, and I Gaussian blurred 8 times, then 4, then 2. Thanks guys. <span style="">13:31 Mon Jul 28

Sharpen the flecks - notice how on the loner, they are much sharper. 18:12, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-up. <span style="">6:20 PM, Wed Jul 30, 2014

Try making the flecks less pronounced and more furry to match the loner. Maybe lighten them a bit? And smudge/blur them. <span style="">22:51 Wed Jul 30 2014

Re-up. <span style="">2:54 PM, Thu Jul 31, 2014

On her loner image, she has smaller, darker flecks around he larger ones, so I guess... Try varying them in size and darkness? Brick  21:32, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

Ehhh, I tried. <span style="">2:53 PM, Fri Aug 1, 2014

Cinderfur (Star) ~ CBA
Beep beep. 19:29, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

Define the shading a tick? maybe this'll finally get approved after how many tries? dem eyes tho O.O <span style="">19:59 Sun Jul 27

Add/define the chest shading. Again, there's that odd thing where it looks like a pale chest...

There is chest shading, but I'll try defining it. The "pale chest" is a large chest highlight. Again, I'll define it in the next upload. 20:56, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

re-up 21:00, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

Darken the chest shading and make it a larger gradient perhaps. 01:10, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

Dulling the chest highlight might actually do the trick, Beebs.

re-up just messed with the chest shading a bit, since dulling the highlight would make the chest appear "flat" to some. 01:17, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

I've told you before, you can still dull it and give it some depth.. It really does look like you gave him a pale chest, even though you've said it's a large highlight.

re-up 01:25, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

What opacity is the highlight on? <span style="">13:22 Mon Jul 28

None - it's an unshaded area of the kitty that has light. 13:27, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

Is there a way to make a gradient then, like Alteda suggested? <span style="">13:33 Mon Jul 28

No, because 1) I don't know how you make one, and 2) tbh, it wouldn't help much because it's just a gradient, so it wouldn't define the shading any more than normal defintion would, so I think it's fine =P 13:35, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

The chest looks pretty good to me, just add more shading to this >>>> edge of the chest, it'll show the light direction a bit better. Jayie Unwritten words~ 15:10, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

re-up 16:43, July 28, 2014 (UTC)

The chest highlight is a bit weird. Smooth it out and maybe add a bit of shading over it so it blends in better. <span style="">22:47 Wed Jul 30 2014

If I smooth it out, then it'd be faded, and I'd be told to define it again, so I think it's fine, unless someone disagrees =P 22:49, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah but it sticks out like a sore thumb and looks unnatural with the rest of the shading. You can blend it in and still keep enough definition if you try. <span style="">22:59 Wed Jul 30 2014

re-up I tried. 23:56, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

The white looks really gray on the tail to the point I seriously can't tell it's white.

Fox (Ro) (Star) ~ CBA
Since I had to withdraw Oakfur for technical reasons, have Fox. I hope I'm allowed to post this before the other images are archived...

I took a try at smudged shading, and also a tint. <span style="color:Blue;font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;background:Red;border:4px ridge; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color: #000000;">Shinxy Blitz  and  Melody  00:50, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

The chest and the forearm highlights stick out a bit. If you use a separate layer for the highlights, just use the eraser at a low opacity (right above the brush size if you use gimp). Otherwise, I love this. 01:19, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Dawncloud (E) - For Approval
I saw that she needed an elder image on the list of cats who need chararts, so I decided to make one. Suggestions? Jayie Unwritten words~ 01:09, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

Maybe lighten the shading on her belly a bit (I know it's artist's choice but it seems a little too dark), and I don't think her stripes really match the other images, but that might just be me 20:04, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

'''Re-uploaded. '''I can't do anything with the stripes. I copied from the elder best I could. <span style="color:Blue;font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;background:Red;border:4px ridge; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color: #000000;">Shinxy Blitz  and  Melody  21:26, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

It could just be me, but the base coat looks a little light. <span style="">10:21 PM, Tue Jul 29, 2014

I think it's because of the highlights. Maybe dull them some? Wow... *o* <span style="">22:26 Tue Jul 29

the stripes don't match, possible add more. 01:07, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

The stripes are too thin, and there should be striping on the head. I think the highlighting might be a little too bright as well compared to the other Dawncloud images, but that might be up to artist preference, not sure. Jayie Unwritten words~ 02:10, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. Dulled the highlights, thickened the stripes, and lightened the face shading so you could see the face stripes. I matched the stripes the best I could, and spent about two hours on them. I even pasted the Elder on another layer to use as reference. Queens' bellies are stretched, so so is the pattern, to be fair. (And Duck, adding more stripes probably won't make it match more, because she never had more stripes then this in the first place) Pls don't kill me  <span style="color:Blue;font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;background:Red;border:4px ridge; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color: #000000;">Shinxy  Blitz  and  Melody  09:08, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Does she have texture, or is that just the way you've done the shading? 11:35, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

It's shading. I smudged rather then blurred. <span style="color:Blue;font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;background:Red;border:4px ridge; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color: #000000;">Shinxy Blitz  and  Melody  12:05, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Actually, if you look at her StarClanner, she does have more stripes than this facing this way, adding more, would make it match more. 17:47, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. OK, Shinx confirmed for derp. Added some more stripes, although I don't have room for any more. If someone complains, I'll just redo them. <span style="color:Blue;font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;background:Red;border:4px ridge; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color: #000000;">Shinxy Blitz  and  Melody  21:37, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Very nice shading on the face. :) Maybe have a bit more shadow on the >>>> side of her belly, and have some highlight on her chest. This looks really good. Jayie  Unwritten words~ 04:40, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

The chest wouldn't have any light hitting it at this position, so I think it's fine, as well as the belly, since it's trying to make the belly look round and all o3o 17:05, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

thin out the cheekbone shadow, unless she has some really really defined cheekbones it wouldn't be that big 19:13, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

She could have some really defined ones or not - why should we assume? I think it's fine because of said reason. (ahh i hope this doesn't come off as laziness because it's not) 19:15, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think it would hurt to do what Duck suggested. I saw it at first and thought it was unblurred/unsmudged shading. And it kinda is coming off as laziness, dear. =P
