Warriors Wiki:Charart/Interpretations

The Warriors Wiki strives to create a verifiable, thorough, and useful encyclopedia of the Warriors series for readers of all ages, backgrounds, and skills that even the Erin Hunter team can use. It shall achieve its purpose through the use of articles written to the standards of the manual of style for the characters, the universe, the books, and the surrounding meta created by the collaborative effort of editors on the wiki.

Due to the vast majority of officially licensed Warriors content consisting of novels, the wiki has opted to include character pixels that represent an interpretation of a character's appearance for visual purposes on articles.

All character pixels present on Warriors Wiki's pages abide by the following standards:

• Every character pixel must fit a character's physical description, as described in Warriors.
• Every set of character pixels on a character's page must match in patterning and coloration.
• In the cases in which there is no canonical reference to specific shades of eye color, nose color, earpink color, tabby color, tortoiseshell color, specific variations of tabby, mottled, or tortoiseshell styles, extent of lineart edits, collar colors, and collar tags—the wiki allows artists to express creative freedom so long as the image still accurately reflects every aspect of a character's canon description and does not otherwise conflict with long-standing wiki precedents. In the vast majority of cases, this clause allows for simple additions such as eye colors, which improves the quality of an image compared to leaving sections of an image grayscale.
• When new information about a character's description is revealed, previously made images must be altered to conform to the sourced description of a character.
• All images displayed on the wiki are approved via a consensus through the character art project, which has been operating since 2006. This process, which is open to anyone to join, allows for artwork to be critiqued and polished to conform to the outlined standards above.

The following are examples of various tabby patterns that artists employ if a tabby pattern is not specified.

Brambleclaw's warrior image: a mackerel tabby

Eaglewing's warrior image: a spotted tabby

Rainleap's warrior image: a ticked tabby

Thornclaw's warrior image: a slightly fancy tabby pattern

In some instances, tabby colors are not specified until a later date. These are some examples where pelt colors were adjusted from one color to another.

Spotfur's warrior image. She was originally a brown-gray tabby until her official artwork depicted her as gray.

Rosetail's warrior image. She was originally a brown tabby until cited to be gray.

The following are examples of instances where artists used creative interpretations to visualize character's attributes that were not specified in canon.
