Re:
Yo, welcome to the world of tweaks! :D There are two ways to do tweaks: (1) when you have the file and (2) when you don't have the file. Option 1 is more ideal, since usually it makes tweaking super simple (hence why the OAs usually tweak their own image - it makes things easier for everyone lol). But Option 2 is more common, since artists come and go. I'll try to make this as concise and simple as possible:

1. After reserving an image, save the latest file of that image.

2. Open the image in your art program.

3. Save the image as an art file (not a .png). Such as a .psd or .mdp. This will save your layers!

4. Open the original blank and save it as a layer. So, for Cinderpelt's mc, open the long-furred mc blank and place it above the image layer. This will prevent accidental blurring of the linart. It's an optional step, but I find it super useful.

5. Add another layer between the original image and the lineart. So, right now, your layers should be (from bottom up) the original image, a blank layer, the lineart.

6. Since Cinderpelt has altered lineart, go over and trace the crippled leg lineart on another layer and add that to the lineart layer. Mess around with it until you have a complete lineart of Cinderpelt.

Now you're ready to begin tweaking!

7. The goal here is to remove the paler parts, which are present on the face, paws, legs, tail, and chest if I remember correctly. Color pick from the area just outside the paler parts; sometimes this area is only a pixel or two. Use a small brush (I usually use an airbrush) and color over the pale colors.

8. TIP Some areas require multiple hues, so try color picking from different angles and coloring it in. So...areas like around the eyes or along the tail or legs where there's a lot of surface space for different hues

9. Smudge or blur (I find smudging to be easier) the colored areas to blend it well with the original artwork.

10. Repeat steps 7-9 for each pale part. Don't use a blanket color; you should color pick from each section.

11. Take into account the original shading placement. Hide the coloring layer real quick to see if you need to add some more shading. If so, add another layer and fiddle with the shading. But only the areas you colored in. We're not redo-ing the entire image, so make sure it looks close enough to the original. If you feel like the overall shading needs to be defined or whatnot, ask a lead first. We're usually super lenient if you have an valid reason lol (see Dovewing's images with spooky).

12. There were some textured marks on the apprentices images, so add some on another layer if needed. As long as it looks close enough, you're good.

13. Go back and erase any waste. Pay special attention to the eyes, nose, and ears for waste.

14. When you're all set, save the image as a .png or whatnot and upload it over the file. Post it under the tweak page (make sure to credit the original artist and whoever may have tweaked it prior!) and after 24 hours it'll be approved!

And...that's about it I think. I've been doing tweaks for almost two years, so it just takes some practice. Just make sure your changes reflect the overall pattern/design/shading placement of the original image, and you're all set. If you want, I can send you my file for one of the apprentices in case I didn't make this clear enough ^^'. I hope this helps, and let me know if you need anything else! 23:41, December 20, 2018 (UTC)

You're welcome! ^^ Glad I could help. 06:08, December 21, 2018 (UTC)
