Briarkit - For Approval
I drew Briarkit. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. G B 03:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

A few things. One, the background cannot be colored, and also needs to be transparent. I can fix that for you. Two, the eyes are "missing." Three, there needs to be more blending and shading. FxC **The Waterfall** 13:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

1. I will fix the background, but I would appreciate it if you made it transparent.2. Her eye-color hasn't been said yet; if it is revealed in Long Shadows, I'll add it.3. If you can give me some tips on how to do the shading and blending, I'll work on it. G B 14:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Idf you downloaded an art program you should have a blurtool if you do you use a darker shade around the edges then you use the blurtool to blend them together.--Redflare 14:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I reuploaded Briarkit; I attempted to some shading. Like it? G B 15:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It's better!-- J K  O  21:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Jakko! FxC, any comments? G B 22:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the great comments! If there's anything else I can do to improve it (besides blurtool :p), tell me! G B 22:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Looks better. The outline need to be black though. For the eyes, I know it hasn't been revealed. I suggest green - it's really neutral. --FxC **The Waterfall** 02:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If we left things out to wait for details from the books, pretty much none of the characters would be able to be done. I'd personally suggest a generic cat-eye-color like amber. Outlines need to be black. Shading is needed. And the pink selected for inside the ears... It's rather... bright and unnatural.. Maybe suggest a softer, gentler pink.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Added her eyes. But I forgot about the black outline, fix that as soon as I can! G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 00:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Did the outline. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 23:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like the outline was changed from the original lineart... and the eyes... have this creepy staring Zombie thing going on... <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 14:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Kitsufox is right. It does look like a zombie with these eyes.ZZ Top 19:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you should just draw in little pupils to make it look more natural. 97.115.124.162 03:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree...-- J K  O  03:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

This really does look good, GB. Just draw some pupils in like 97... said and blur the shading and ears and it'll look great! -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 22:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Re-uploaded. I have GIMP now! <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 01:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Much improved. The eyes are still... a bit off. You might wish to spend some more time on them. And the shading needs to get blended into the picture, as does the pink on the inside of the ears (right now it just looks like a dollop of paint fell there). You've sorted the outline issue wonderfully, though. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Better? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 15:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The ear pink is still unblended and incredibly bright. The shading is still un-blended. The eyes do look good, though. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 17:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Better? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 00:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Your'e so close. I think what'll help is making the pink of the ears more triangular. 97.115.120.104 01:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The pink is really a bit bright yet for such a dark furred cat. And blending it a bit more, so it's just a hint of how thin the fur on the inside of the ears and they'll be pretty good. You should also blend a touch more under the chin, as that shading line is still really sharp. You also missed shading on the bit of belly that shows, and want to make sure all your shading transitions are nice and smooth. You're almost there! <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:49, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

How's this? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 03:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The hard transitions between colors are still there. They need to get blended. Shading needs to be smooth and not look so sharply defined against the rest of the pelt. You're just about there. Get the blending, and I don't think I'll have anything else. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Medicine Cat Blanks - For Approval


I'm back! This time I'm trying to contribute with these medicine cat blanks. I made them look as realistic as I could, and tried to stick with the style of the previous blanks. And, as trivia, the herb that the medicine cat is carrying is coltsfoot! Well...if one were to color the flower yellow. XD But either way, constructive criticism is welcome. I hope these are fine! C: --Hazelflower 04:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Me likey! --Spottedleaf x firestar 11:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Cool! The coltsfoot was definately a nice touch!-- J K  O  13:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

First of all, there already are medicine cat blanks up for approval. The coltsfoot was nice, but these blanks look a bit manga-ish. Good effort though. --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 13:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I didn't know there couldn't be more than one up for approval at a time!! I'm sorry. D: Also, do you have any suggestions, perhaps? It'd be more helpful if you were to tell me how to make them look more realistic, rather than just saying they look mangaish, ya know? But I really appreciate the honesty. :D --Hazelflower 20:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the eyes need to be a bit bigger, and maybe even out the facial features, so the forehead isn't so big? --<span style="font:11px Comic Sans MS;display:inline;border:#00CCCC 1px solid;background-color:#996633;padding:0 4px 0 4px;">FxC **The Waterfall** 00:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

There can be more than one of a certain blank for approval at a time; just because one is already p, doesn't mean that another can't be posted.–– Σulãlíã 459 678 00:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I think Kitsu is going to deal with this problem soon, that way there won't be any arguements. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 00:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * And also I would like to tie in with Eu, the person said they'd like to decline the art themselves so really its ok for another blank to be up. Kitsu just hasn't been up to update it so I see nothing wrong with it all. Also GB and FB I know you guys are helping out alot while Kitsu is away, but you don't have to act like you guys are the leaders of this. I'm just saying how it feels to me. Anyway...I personally love the blank Hazelflower. Great job and they do seem realistic. Maybe you could even redo some of the other bases, you know? -- Shim-Shim Shimmering Crystals 04:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, FC. I really appreciate it! C: And I hope it didn't cause any controversy...? I just wanted to make some blanks. XD~ And thanks, Shim-Shim. I appreciate the compliment! :D -Hazelflower 04:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Update! Okay, so I made the foreheads smaller like you (sort of) suggested, FC. I tried to move the facial features around, but it just looked really weird to me. Either way, I hope it looks a little better now. -Hazelflower 00:54, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, Let's get this party started... Very nice work. But not 100% set for approval, as I have a few tweaks. They all probably stem from what I think is a usual Anime-style of drawing that you have. It's not necessarily anything bad, just some tweaks I'd like to see to get them to fit a bit more with existing blanks and amp up the realism a touch. You've got a great start, though. I like the head as it is now. You might want to raise the eyes a pixel or so, but I don't know if that would acctually help deal with the high cranium. It might acctually be best as it is now. Now... Something about the far-foreleg is weird to me... I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's just that it starts so far forward compared to the other. You've acctually got the same effect happening on the far-hind, also. And the tail seems... a tad long. You've got a stellar start, however. OH! And for the longhairs... Can we get a touch of shaggy on the head and legs? Not too much, just a bit! Like at teh elbow and knee and between the ears. Not too much, just a little so they look less sleek. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

All right! :D I worked really hard on improving these, and I hope that they're to everyone's liking. I even moved the eyes up a pixel (and the cat's left eye closer to the other just a bit) and I quite like the result. C: -Hazelflower 22:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * They're looking great. I still have one thing I think needs work. It's more pronounced on the shorthair... But there's just something a little weird about the connection of the neck to the body. You're getting there, and it's looking excellent. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 17:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Kitsu! Sorry I haven't said anything in, what, a few days? School was busy this week, but now it's the weekend! I'll give an update as soon as I've fixed it. C: -Hazelflower 20:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Update again!! Okay, so, I finally found the time to tweak it just a tad. I brought in the back neckline a bit on the short-hair bases, and I moved down the long-hair back just by about a pixel (but I'm debating on just moving it back up). So, I hope this update is all right! -Hazelflower 02:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks great to me!-- Jakko 123  21:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you shift the shoulder-blade you added in back a bit, I think it'll be perfect. Putting it in kinda... got my brain around what was off about the shoulder area. Also, keep in mind you'll need to scale the image, also, so that it's in scale with the Warrior Pixel. Great work! <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

How do you tell the difference between the male and female blanks? They all look like females to me. User:Mallinois/ Coyote=background:Black>Coyote  The Doghouse  00:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

The eyes - the females have more pointed eyes where as the males have rounded edges.-- Sandy 20:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

These are great, I hope they get approved. Nice touch ith the herbs.--Redflare 19:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Still, they all look like females, so I suggest adding a more masculine quality to the males. Warm Regards, <font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  20:34, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I like them, but go with what malinois said(make males more massculine), and the full sized blanks are way to huge... --Mumble785 23:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

This hasn't been worked on in a while, but please take the feminine quanities out. Can you imagine Jayfeather in one of these? Frankly, I also think that the blanks are manga-ish, and they need to look more like real cats. Otherwise, they look good.

Crowfeather- for Approval

 * Many might remember the first image I tried out when I first joined. I did Crowfeather along with Squirrelflight. Though Squirrelflight was made around the same time and approved, I never got around to edit poor Crowfeather. Since I finally have time on my hands I've reuploaded him. I remembered Kitsu saying I needed to re-add the line art back to him. So here's Crowfeather with the lineart back again and the same coloring. Comment please :) -- Shim-Shim Shimmering Crystals 06:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

That's really good! I couldn't do better than that! >_< --Leopardstar&#39;s Ultimate fan 13:46, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The shading on his back looks... awkward. Also, the pink part of his ear looks like a perfume bottle instead of a triangle. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 16:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah I remembered Kitsu saying something about it too. Well now here's the update version. I redid his ear and decided on my new way with shading. -- Shim-Shim Shimmering Crystals 17:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, now he looks like someone stuck their hands in like, five different types of black paint, and rubbed their hands all over him. He needs to be one color, with shading. The ear looks better, though. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 17:54, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, GB, with some blending his hindquarter will be wonderfully shaded and look nicely 3D. Now, Shim, you just need to get the head and forequarters in the same way and blend everything together. The ear... I would love to see less pink because dark furred cats have dark skin. And the pink nose... Please do away with it, as it looks... rather out of place. Great improvements so far, I look forward to seeing you take it the rest of the way. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Got it Kitsu. Here's the new uploaded version of Crowfeather. I did all what you said, but I think I took out too much pink. Comments please ^_^ -- Shim-Shim Shimmering Crystals 00:29, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think more pink can come out. I hate bright pink ears. They look terribly unnatural. Google some black cat pictures and you'll see what I mean. The hindleg looks great, now blend some more on the forequarters, try and get a more defined shoulder going on, and add shading to the head. You're doing great. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 03:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Well no one has said anything so I decided to just update Crowfeather some myself.-- Shimmer Crystals 19:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I increased the pink colour--Sandstar12 16:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The color was fine; it's the fact that the ear looks like you just stuck it on and blended. It needs to be more of a triangle shape. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B 17:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, how about now?--Sandstar12 18:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a good start, but there's still some work to do. The shading needs to be completed (why none on the muzzle?) and the shoulder needs some definition. The ear pink needs some blending, and the shade could be toned down (really bright pink never looks quite right). <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 17:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I sorted the ear, added some shading around the muzzle and shoulder areas as well as some highlights on the flank and middle chest area. I also blended this shading more thoroughly. -- Sandy 19:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I think its a beautiful pic, Sandy. The shading really gives it a 3D touch and blend. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 19:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Bramble!-- Sandy 20:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Anything else needs doing?-- Sandy 21:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's looking really good, but I have a few things for you. The shoulder/neck shading is a little weird... I think because there's no shading creating any roundness for the head. The tummy/elbow/knee zone is pretty much unshaded and could use some. And the shading could all use a touch more blending, as there are a number of points where things look like markings rather than shading. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Would we consider Bluestar's mother as an elder or a warrior? Or a queen? Because I'd like to do her and I don't know if I should use the warrior base. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 23:01, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Anyone out there? -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 16:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I'm not sure about this - we don't know whether she ever became an elder do we? I don't think the books ever say her status when she died so I would personally picture her as a warrior unless it states otherwise. -- Sandy 20:37, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

We practically need a genetic image or those situations when we're just not sure... Maybe someday. And the matter bears discussion... I don't like the idea of just guessing she died in combat without ever retiring. She lived in times of relative peace from what I can tell. The books chronicle times of upheaval, not the status quo of the clans... Anyone else wanna weigh in on this question? <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 17:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

There is a bunch of little black lines......and the darker gray stripe needs to be bigger. His eyes should be more golden brown, too. User:Mallinois
 * Welcome to the project! Thanks you for giving this a go... Let's get things started: The outlines are blurred, and that needs to be fixed. The shading is also a bit small, and really needs to be amped-up and fully blended. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I always envisioned Graystripe as having a darker, slate grey stripe on his back. With this blank position, that would be a bit hard. I suggest a really dark gray on the back that fades into the normal pelt, blending the stripe with the shading. That would look really nice. Also, maybe add some highlights on the front forelegs.

Alright, I fixed the pic. Kitsu, I buffed the shading a bit to make it look more 3-d. It is better now? (Sorry about the delay, I am working on Poppyfrost, my first tortie, and having trouble.) F  x  C  22:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

What happened to the ear and tail?--Redflare 22:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

The poor ear..the poor tail! What did you do to them? Any way, some more blended shading and it would look good. Fix the ear and tail. User:Mallinois  Coyote=background:Black>Coyote   The Doghouse  01:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. I am on my grandparents computer, so using Photobie. I fixed the lineart, at the expense of the transparent background. The background will be brought back as soon as I get back on my own laptop. F x  C  15:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The outline's gone really weird in places... If you have GIMP or Photoshop, I recomend just copying the black lineart out of a clean version of the blank, and then pasting it in over the top as it's own later ;) This is acctually a trick I use all the time to keep my lineart clean. Some shading on the head and underside would be nice. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Here s the new version. I pasted the blank and it looks great. As for the shading, I did a bit on the muzzle, as well as the right foreleg. I personally am proud of the improvements. :D Kitsu, does it need a bit more shading in the "tummy" area? I was debating on that. F x  C  15:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

 * More blending on the patches.User:Mallinois Nov. 23


 * I'm pretty pleased with the blending of the patches, with the exception of 3 places: Tail, right-foreleg, and between the eyes. But shading... Shading is needed. The ear-pink could do with being a touch softer, too. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hope you like it! Hawktail 00:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a nice start. But I am going to say something I say all the time: Blend. I also have to comment on the ear pink, as it's simply far too pink to look right. And... There's something weird about the tabby... I think it's the angle of the stripes, in addition to how un-integrated with the pelt they are. And the fact that they're conspicuously absent from places they should be (forehead, tail, left foreleg, cheeks). <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The outline is really blurry in places, and the ear should be more blended into the pelt. Bright pink ears look unnatural. Koda


 * The shading is too light, and isn't really buffed out like it should be. But this looks pretty good. F  x  C  23:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I added the line art back in the places it was needed.-- Shimmer Crytals 01:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I think this looks good Shimmerpool. I can't think of anything right now that needs doing except maybe the shading could be blended slightly more along his chest fur. Apart from thst I think this looks great!-- Sandy 19:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

This needs shading, of course. Also, the tabby markings need to be blended better. A pretty good start, but of course, it needs improvement. Also, there is a "swirl" in the lower leg area, if you see where the curve is, a little above that. You might want to put a tabby marking there.-- Jakko 123  21:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I would like to decline this submission at the moment. I want to finish up Crowfeather and Foxpaw for now. Once I'm done with them, I'll come back to work on him if I'm feeling up to it, which I probably won't cause of midterms.-- Shimmer Crytals 22:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have changed my mind and made the decision to keep up Brackenfur. I came up with a new color scheme for him and got more ideas with shading messing with GIMP for the past few weeks. Comments please would help revive this cat.-- Shimmer Crystals 20:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, FxC! Sandy, I've already blended the highlights as far as they can go. The blur tool won't blur it together anymore. We'll see what Kitsu thinks of them, and maybe I can just take them off. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 23:32, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I love the image of Rainwhisker! But I think that the highlights could be removed or atleast put on running down his back and one on his chest fur. Are you sure thats as far as it can be blend? Overall, lets leave it to Kitsu-- Shimmer Crytals 01:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Sandy! -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 16:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I only see a few spots that might need improvement. The spot around the ear is an unnatural circle, as well as the line that defines the light grey from the dark grey on the left foreleg. Maybe the shading could be amped up a bit. And some highlights on the forelegs would be nice. Otherwise, this is beautiful, Bramble. F x  C  23:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll see about the highlights and amping the shading, but I don't know what you mean about an unnatural circle. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 23:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Much better. It could use a little bleinding on the shadings edges, and maybe some shading on the hindquarter part where it goes up into the body. However, much improved! Good job! Flamefeather 21:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I think more shading is needed around the belly area and as Flamefeather mentioned - the edges of the shading need to be blended for a more natural change between the darker colour and the lighter area.

GB, you're saying that because the ears and nose are extremely bright you can barely see it compared to the pelt? That doesn't make any sense. But I do agree about the eyes. They look too shadowy. Maybe if you made a sharp define from the pupil and the colored iris it would look better, Sandy. -- Bramble Bramble's Realm 16:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I like the other Lionblaze you made better. -- Alice 02:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you need to combine aspects of the two. The body markings from v1 and the tail markings from v2 with the tabby 'm' added too. Also - you had the right idea with the shading on the first one. What I normally do is use the 'darken' tool on a low opacity in appropriate places and blend, then the lighten tool to add highlights. You need to combine the shading of both images without losing the clear cut outline. (ie don't blend the outline) I think that with a bit more work this could be a good image :) It sounds like hard work now, but it could look great! -- Sandy 16:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Also - the ear pink needs blending in to the pelt, as does the white tipped tail (if you're determined to keep it - i'm staying impartial on that debate!!) I personally like what you've done with the eye though-- Sandy 16:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

RavenPaw~Withdrawn by user

What do you think? I wanna help with the project, too. (if that's ok...) --Mumble785 01:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)Mumble785


 * Welcome to Charart Mumble :) I see this is your first try out. Now let's begin. Ravenpaw is, yes a black cat, but you could make him a bit lighter so you could add shading. Once done with that, add your shading and blend away. Good luck ;) May I suggest when getting the lineart, save it to your computer. That makes it easier instead of having to upload it to photobucket time after time again. Also I advise to use Photoshop or Gimp when doing these.-- Shimmer Crystals 05:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

This has a lot of unneeded color blotches, and something looks wrong w/ the eyes... Other than that, you need to shade and really amp up the blending on the white-tipped tail and the chest(which by the way has a white dash, not white splotch.) And the image needs to lighten up, too. Sorry if I sound harsh, but this is really what is wrong with the image. What image editor did you use? --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  15:32, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

P.S. What program do the other people use, where do they get it, and does it cost anything? Currently, I'm using paint. *blushes from embarrasment* (I know I spelled embarrasment wrong.)--Mumble785 14:25, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Paint? *Shivers* That's a problem. Most people use GIMP. I color my images with paint, and edit them with GIMP. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="White" style="background:Black">39 17:46, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Fireheart for Approval


I know, he needs improvements. I can't get GIMP, but I'll try my best on paint and soon I might get a photo editor. Now, I need some advice!!! --Mumble785 01:40, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

First off, it is Fireheart, not FireHeart. There is barely any shading, but where there is it isn't blended. The color could be more of an orange, it looks reddish to me. A good start, just needs improvement.-- Jakko 123  02:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I'll use your advice to improve it, since I know have a program that has the "blend" tool. ;) I'll get him reuploaded and improved in no time. --Mumble785 22:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

REUPLOADED. Ok, so I added more shading, blended the shading, made him more orange than red, spent more time on the eye and added the ear pink becase I felt like it. Is that better? --Mumble785 23:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

It needs much more shading, and hightlights need to be added. Ginger is the same as pale red tabby, so you need tabby stripes and more of a "flame colored" pelt. --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  01:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok, two questions: 1.) Are the blended stripes gonna be horizontal or vertical? 2.) Where are the places I missed with shading? --Mumble785 01:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't actually think it needs more shading. Maybe down the belly wold be nice. When we mean blended, we mean make it go nice into the orange color. There should be more of a faded boundary then a thick, straight boundary.-- Jakko 123  15:35, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

kk. I'll add a teensy bit more shading down the belly, and maybe a little on the hind leg wouldn't hurt... --Mumble785 18:01, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

REUPLOADED. I added and improved my shading on the chest, belly, and legs. Is that better? --Mumble785 18:40, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I saw that you couldn't get GIMP and sometimes I don't use it when my computer is very slow. Try pixlr.com, its like an online photoshop. I use it a lot and it actually works rather well. You can upload this image using the url on there so u can edit it, then you can save it. It has all the same effects as photoshop and GIMP. If you need help using it leave a message on my talk page. And with the image, it needs shading on the back and its sorta fuzzy. Did you save it as JPG? Try PNG file type. It works a lot better :) -- Shimmer Crystals 02:25, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

There needs to be more shading on the back, head and muzzle. A tinge of "Fire-color" needs to be added. This color is too orange, it needs to be more reddish orange. And there are a lot of unneeded color blotches...it looks too pixelish now. --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  15:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

A bit better, but I think the tabby markings stick out too much. Well not think, I'm positive. They seem bright against his pelt. Also some of the shading seems closer to the black outline. I'm not sure if this is my computer or something.-- Shimmer Crystals 01:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I think that you do need them. Smudge, Sasha, Purdy, and all the others deserve their pixels. And what about the Tribe? Do you thionk you guys should do pixels for each position, or just one called Tribe cat? 72.81.208.205 23:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)random quest

Just a tribe cat is what I think. But down in the tribe of rushing water article below, the different positions are just called a different thing. The to-bes are apprentices, etc. --Mumble785 17:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

The Tribe of Rushing Water
Should there be a blank for each indivisual position, such as a Prey-hunter or a Kit-mother, or should there just be one blank to be used for every single tribe cat? And should Stormfur be considered a Cave-guard or a Prey-hunter? 72.81.208.205 23:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Random Quest

Okay, you stopped signing random guest! No, I don't think we need them because (1).Cave-Guards are just like warriors, as like prey-hunters. (2). Kit-mothers and kits are like queens and kits, so we just need a queen blank (3).Healers would probably use a medicine cat blank, as they are more of a medicine cat (4). To-Bes are just like apprentices --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  17:59, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but remember when the tribe is first introduced? They look different than Clan cats. Their fur is more matted from the mud the rub in their fur. They're smaller than Clan cats, as well, with larger leg muscles to aid catching their prey, hawks and eagles.–– Σulãlíã 459 678 21:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

As is Skyclan, but we didn't make specific blanks for them. --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  00:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well actually SkyClan could use the same templates since they are apart of the original 5 Clans, but just aren't around anymore you know. They still have a leader, deputy, apprentices, queens, medicine cat, and medicine cat apprentice too. The only thing different about them is that they have strong limbs which is well their trademark if you will say. WindClan are swift, RiverClan can swim, ThunderClan loyal and great hunters, ShadowClan mysterious I guess you could say. Now for the tribe I say yes because Teller of Pointed Stones does change over time and will always receive that name and they are leader and medicine cat combined. So that throws out just using a medince cat template even if they are healer and can hear their warrior ancestors. Like Eu said they are smaller with larger leg muscles as well making them totally different. So I strongly agree they need a template along with loners, rouges, and kittypets.-- Shimmer Crystals 05:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I'm actually working on a blank for prey-hunters. F x  C  13:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

You're adding a highlight down the back, instead of shading. As I have said, use Gorse's Weaselfur as a model for shading. --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">lin ois  21:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

It still doesn't really look right...I think it may be the transition from the neck to head - it needs to be smoother. Also - the legs look unatural still.

I like that the picture is not cloudy. It's a little to shiny to me though and the shadow under the chin looks a little out of place. I never liked this outline for the apprentices, the tail for the short haired cats looks dead and I don't like the idea of having a completely different style from the warriors. I think the apprentices should look more like younger versions of the warrior pixels. Good coloring though and I like the eyes. Perhaps you could make the white fur more of a creamy and warm color.--Thornpath 00:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Thornpath

I've got one. Did you use paint? <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 23:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes I did. ZZ Top <font color="LimeGreen">Get Your Wings  This House Is On Fire  00:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

This image needs some shading and highlighting, ZZ Top. Also, maybe the eye colour should be changed to make it more noticable - at the moment I can't even tell what colour his eyes are, all I can see is the white speck. The ears need the tiny pink bit put in as well. look at some of the approved images - possibly Nightcloud (or Rockpaw) seeing as she's black to see how this is supposed to look for a black cat. <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Leader's Den 08:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Try using a very dark gray. It's hard to shade with true black. If you want to blend, try using pixlr.com. It has blurtool. Shim told Mumble to use this, and his images look okay. -- Mal lin <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">ois <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">13 13:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yup its true pixlr works fine. Also..how are you saving this image? It looks like your saving it gif or jpg then reuploading it by paint making the shading all well weird. And yes it is a bit hard to shade with true black so try something a bit darker to my Crowfeather image. After all, Crowfeather is a cat close to black but not true black at all.-- Shimmer Crystals 02:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
A lot of you have probably seen this coming, given my inactivity. I first joined as leader of this project around two years ago, and it has changed a lot since then. Frankly, I've found it too time-consuming of late to be fully active in this project for some time, not to mention I have many other obligations in my life that, unfortunately, are much higher on my priority list. So, for the Wiki's sake and for mine, I will be stepping down and would like to request that the question of my successor be left to Eu and Kitsu. I apologize for taking so long on this. I wish the Wiki good luck in its attempt to add as accurate and professional information as possible. Gorse 20:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I think Kitsu should take over. She's really good with the art. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 21:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

We need someone with a knack for computer art, and an iron fist. Someone who isn't afraid to say what's really wrong with the picture. (Basiclly screams Kitsu!)-- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 22:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree but like Kitsu said earlier we are going to need more people to help lead this project. Those who tend to stay active a lot so this place won't crowd up like how it is now. Its getting ridiculously long. Please can we just not have any more submitted until Kitsu returns?-- Shimmer Crystals 02:39, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes...I forgot about that. How about someone who's here almost every day, and comments alot on the project. Also someone who's not afraid to say what's really wrong with the image. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 15:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Dawnpaw-for approval


I tried my first one. I did Dawnpaw, coloring on paint and then blurring on pixlr.com. It worked, I think she turned out good! Give me constructive critism, I can improve her! Kaboo08 20:19, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Flamefeather

I can see you worked up the outline. The eye looks wierd, and I just want to say good blending. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 20:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll get to fixing the eye real soon. Thanks Kaboo08 20:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Flamefeather

Got a new eye version up Kaboo08 20:46, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Flamefeather

You know, you could just change the inage. This is my Dawnpaw. I stopped doing it because I had other pics. Try using it for reference. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 20:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

My computer won't take me to the page to see your Dawnpaw. Any idea why??? Flamefeather 14:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

It's because the page no longer exists since Mallinois deleted the image. (I think anyway - it's a redlink now) I think the first eye looked better than the second - the second one looks too...big, and out of position. Try keeping the eye outline balck and coloring the center. The shading is fairly good although I would suggest blending the highlighting on the back in more. Also - the ear pink needs a tad bit more blending to make it look more natural <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Leader's Den 19:57, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Opps! The second drawing is listed first. I'll delete the my first attempt and work on shading. Flamefeather 21:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm bored and haven't updated her in a while, so I worked on the forlegs and highlights. Flamefeather 15:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I think you overused the sharpen tool, and the eye has purple around it, and it looks blotchy. I would strongly suggest consulting Mr.Blurtool and try to make it less blotchy and sharp-looking. --14:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Spiderleg-for approval
User: Darkhallows I was bored, so I decided to do some art.

The coding was wrong. I fixed it. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 23:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

The image is blotchy, there's no shading, and it has blotches of white. The brown belly needs blending into the pelt. The eye also looks wierd. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 23:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I worked with it, is it better? user: Darkhallows


 * The brown belly is perfect, but the ears look unatural almost white? Make them a different pink but blur them because how black cats' ears are. Look at a few pictures for reference.-- Shimmer Crystals 02:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I fixed the ear. I wanted to point out this is my first time with the art and I'd like to join or whatever.user: Darkhallows

I really like the belly. But the eyes look like he had too much coffee, and there's something about the ears... <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 05:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * He took my advice at looking at pictures of black cats. Good, but you didn't have to add the extra hair on the ears. You could just blend the pink in more and smudge black around it giving the fur over taking it affect.-- Shimmer Crystals 02:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

She. I didn't look at pictures, just my cat. (His name is Spider, oddly enough). But yeah should I blend it or not?


 * Oopsies XD sorry Darkhallows. She did! You'd be better off blending them in well.-- Shimmer Crystals 03:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the ear I also tried to redo the eye, but I don't like it... Darkhallows 01:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't either. He looks like he has invisible hooks pulling his eyes back. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 19:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Fallen Leaves-Withdrawn by user


I did him as a warrior. My first multicolor. Needs some work, but I'm not sure where to start. Flamefeather 18:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

He's a Sharpclaw, I don't know if you should use the warrior blank, but it look like you smudged the whole image, and PLEASE just fill in the eye like this: Four white pixels inside. Top lefT:black Top Right:White Bottom two:Blue, Green, Amber, Yellow, Orange, Gray, Pale...(ETC) -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 23:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I t also needs shading. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 23:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This image looks smudged almost all the way. You simply smudged the colors together. You need to blend them. A little smudge here, a little blend here (repeat). In time it'll come out good. It also looks like you smudge his front leg a bit on the outline. Add that back in using the real lineart. I'm not sure if its my laptop, but I keep seeing gray lines running from his forhead to his eye.-- Shimmer Crystals 00:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Tried to unsmudge some. Also did shading. Flamefeather 13:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Fix the front paw, the orange was smeared with the lines, anslo the shadeing is a little shaky, I'd fix that.Darkhallows


 * It still looks like you're smudging a lot. Try leaving the smudging alone and try blending. These colors really need to be blended together to give it that more real look.-- Shimmer Crystals 04:36, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I would strongly suggest withdrawing this; we don't have the blanks yet. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 05:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Queen Blanks that are for approval
Hello, I'm new to wikis in general(so I appologize if I make mistakes)! I decided to start out with these blanks that I made in photoshop. Hope they get approved! I'm open to any constructive criticism. --Melonlemon 03:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

These look great! The front legs could be a little longer, but overall good job! Realistic, and you made them look nice and pudgy! lol. Flamefeather 12:59, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Very good job! One thing I'd like to say is make the eye like the warrior blanks and straighten the muzzle expression to make it look less cartoony. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 13:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, you'll need to scale the real blank down in size to match the warrior blanks. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 16:23, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Updated! Thanks everyone! They are pudgy because they are preggo cats XD I thought it would distinct the queens well hehe. I changed the eyes to be blank; I changed the mouth to be less "smiley". I did not change the front legs, because I realised the problem was that I made the body too long; the legs should now be closer to the proper leg-body proportions. I also got rid of the extra white space around them so they are bigger-looking in the thumbnail. I'll try to scale down the pictures soon, but I think it is a bit of a problem because these queen blanks are horizontaly posed, not verticaly posed like the other blanks. But we'll see! Thank you guys for the input <3 any more critique is welcome! --Melonlemon 03:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * These are awesome! The only thing I hope is that you don't go through the same thing I did with Sandstorm because there was another one up for being approved so they might get rid of it quickly. I know some who might jump to that, but the other blank hasn't been update for a while so I think you might have a good shot at this. I'm not sure why this is bugging me, but the shape of the back it just seems so humped up.-- Shimmer Crystals 04:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you ^^ yeah I feel also kinda nervous about an ordeal like that. XC another update: I scaled them. I'lll clean up the line art as I add more tweaks to them. Will fix the hump. XD --Melonlemon 04:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Good job with your scaling. Even if that ordeal does happen, just reupload it again later XD. I think these will be perfect queen blanks. I agree with you leaving the eyes blank, but maybe atleast add a pupil or something. I forget what that other part in your eye is called. -- Shimmer Crystals 05:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually, there can be more than one up for approval. Shim, your Sandstorm was declined so quickly for being way too small. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 13:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks better! I love the expression they have! You did really well at getting them pudgy, but not looking like footballs with four sticks, a head, and a tail. I've seen preggo drawings like that. Better than I could ever do. Flamefeather 18:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

They should be updated, but the images haven't been overidden yet. It is taking a long time Dx when the changes show up, there should not be a 'bump' in the back, with cleaner lineart. I decided to leave the eyes blank still. People can add in the pupil if they want to, or something (this can change if you really need it). Again, thanks for the crits! --Melonlemon 01:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

They finally updated! the changes happened finally. :D --Melonlemon 01:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow! I really like these. The only thing is that the closer front paw looks a little off to me. Otherwise good.Darkhallows


 * On the long haired base, there's a white line above the back. It looks like where the lineart was place to seperated it from the background.-- Shimmer Crystals 03:50, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Updated. Sorry for the long wait. Straightened up the paw and fixed the white! --Melonlemon 19:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Firestar: For Approval


I drew Firestar. Please let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is definitely appreciated. Thanks! Sparrowsong 05:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * FireSTAR is a leader, please wait for a leader blank.Darkhallows

Oops. Do you still like it, though? Sparrowsong 16:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter; this can't be accepted. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 22:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Even if is was a leader blank, it has absolutly no blending and I can tell it was made with paint. -- Malli nois <font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Himatsu's <font color="Cyan" style="background:Blue">Howl 22:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I did make it in paint, but I had to because I don't have photoshop. And yes, I know it's not perfect. Nevermind, I know it would never be accepted. Sparrowsong 23:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Why don't you just go and download GIMP or use pixlr.com? It easier than doing this with paint. Besides I think if we're making everycat have a picture for their different stages, all Firestar pictures (from kittypet to leader) should be the same color as well.-- Shimmer Crystals 03:48, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

You need to wait for the leader blank, you need to make him ginger, (not yellow) you need more shading, and he's a tabby so you need the tabby markings. Look at my pic, FireHEART, for examples on coloring. ;) -- MU MB LE 785  18:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Sandstorm - For Approval
I made Sandstorm. If you look closely, you can see the stripes, as stated on her page. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Gοlδεnpαω User Talk!

I'd make the stripes a little more visible. But I really like it. Nice work! Darkhallows

I like the colour you've chosen but would suggest blending the shading around the hind legs a little more just to make it a more natural transition between the two colours --<font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Leader's Den 11:09, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Berrynose
Hi, this is my first entry! I hope you like it. I did it on corel painter essentials 4.-- Thornpath togehodou
 * I know Berrynose is cream, but it looks you just gave him a bunch of orange lines on a white background. Plus there needs to be shading and that means tons of that.-- ♪Shimmer ♫ 04:32, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

The tail certainly needs fixing. Badly. The outline is also very thin. --<font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">Mal <font color="Limegreen" style="background:Black">lin  ois  14:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Update:Okay, I took some advice and added some shading. Also, I took someones advice and changed the coloring a bit. What do you think-- Thornpath togehodou 21:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you please explain how the tail needs fixing?--Thornpath 20:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)Thornpath

It doesn't. <font color="Cyan" style="background:Black">G <font color="Green" style="background:Black">B <font color="#9933FF" style="background:Black">57 20:31, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I think the fur coloring is -extremely- well done! My only crit is that I think the eyes should appear more amber in colour; right now it looks a little black. --Melonlemon 02:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Isn't Berrynose's nose supposed to be a stunning pink (via the name and Firestar's Quest)? -- MU MB LE 785  18:27, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Um, well on these blanks it doesn't give you the choice to color in the nose.-- Thornpath togehodou 05:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I know about the fox trap and how his tail died, but I mean use the short-haired blank's tail to make it shorter. --<font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Mal <font color="Silver" style="background:Blue">lin ois  00:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I did use the short haired blanks. Leafpool might not of cut it that short. And she bit it off when he still had kitten fur. His tail fur could of grown unnaturally.-- Thornpath togehodou 05:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I really like it, but the lines on the throat are slightly colored brown.--Darkhallows 01:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

New Blanks
Look at this! This will put all the troubles of blanks and coloring away! All you have to do is do the basic coat on this game, hit done, hit the print screen button on your keyboard, paste it into any word or paint program, crop it and add more detail, and tada! This eliminates all the trouble of filling in the basic coat, and you can change the outline from foreign (very little fur), short hair, and long hair, so it's like three outlines in one. Because Kitsufox is a member of deviantart, she can ask permission of this user, and we can give credit to the person who made it.

I know that you may not want to use it, but I'm not very good at drawing and stuff in paint programs and I noticed you need several new blanks, so this can work.--<font color="Navy" style="background:Silver">Shaf <font color="Navy" style="background:Silver">Girl  01:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I like making our own. That would take all the fun out of it! Darkhallows 01:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

They are really awesome, but it does not distinguish male and female(as I think we are aiming for), and would still only be for one rank. Plus, I also like making our own, as Darkhallows said XD --Melonlemon 02:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Darkhallows. I we did that, where would the fun go? -- MU MB LE 785  18:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, but you still need to do shading and making more distinguishing marks, such as Brightheart's scars or Berrynose's missing tail.--<font color="Navy" style="background:Silver">Shaf <font color="Navy" style="background:Silver">Girl  19:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Leader Blanks- For Approval
Hello again! :) We are in dire need for some leader blanks, so I'm trying to make some. Some of the line art (especially the longhaired ones) might be a little messy. Critique well appreciated! ---Melonlemon 02:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

These are great! But I would make more of a gender difference. Thin down the females legs maybe.Darkhallows 07:25, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Not sure I agree that a bigger gender difference is needed...There's already the difference between the eye shape and the differences in chest fur and body shape. These are really good Melonlemon, the position they're sat in is very regal, just how I would expect a leader to be sat. Something about the ears is annoying me slightly though...I think they may be a little too big on the insides...maybe. I like these images though. --<font color="LimeGreen" style="background:Black">Sandy <font color="Yellow" style="background:Black">Leader's Den 14:19, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
