Talk: Charart/Approval Page

Project Charart This is a project discussion page, where a group of dedicated editors may come together and work towards their common goal. For more information on projects, please see the community portal. This is the Project Character Art Approvals PagePlace new character art for approval here. Discussions should be routed to the discussion page, while all Art tweaks should be routed to the tweak page, and all Tweak nominations should be routed to the nominations page. Chararts needing to be done are hereHere are some guidelines all users must comply with: Make sure to follow the guidelines. The limit is 50 images. If you exceed it, your image will be immediately declined. Your image is yours until it is archived, do not reserve a new one until yours has completed CBA and/or has been archived due to other matters. If your image has been declined due to the one month limit, you must wait two weeks to reclaim your image. This gives other users the chance to work on it if they wish. If your image has gone less than five (5) days without comments, please do not ask for comments or a CBA. It is common to go a couple consecutive days without comments before a CBA is set into place. To ask before the five day timespan has passed puts your image at risk of being declined. Please do not align your images! This messes up the structure of the page. Want help or feedback on chararts?

Willowpelt (K) ~ For Approval

This looks horrible I know Sandy ^{My Talk} 09:25, December 19, 2019 (UTC)

Recede the shading on the face a bit, and there's leaking shading along the face, foreleg, and haunch. Vec ^{I am Iron Man! 👾} 02:02, December 20, 2019 (UTC)

Reuploaded Sandy ^{My Talk} 08:59, December 25, 2019 (UTC)

Smooth out the shading everywhere but the tail. Also, the shading is leaking on the haunch and I think the face as well (I'm not sure if the light between the shading and lineart on the face is intentional, but I don't think it should be there anyway given your source). —Ivy ☆ 14:42, December 26, 2019 (UTC)

The ear pink seems to be fading on <—— side of the ear. I’m not sure if you did that on purpose but it seems like it just doesn’t fit right with the image---Glacier ()​​​​​ 16:15, December 26, 2019 (UTC)

its a stylist kinda thing, ear fur doesn't have to fill the entire lineart, and adding to Ivy's comment, the depth could definitely be defined as well ❀ mei ❀ ^GOGOBEBE 17:34, December 26, 2019 (UTC)

Similar with the warrior, the eye color needs to match the set. This looks a little too dark right now. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 17:39, December 26, 2019 (UTC)

Reuploaded. I referenced the eyes from the StarClan file btw Sandy ^{My Talk} 06:31, December 27, 2019 (UTC)

Shading is leaking on the jaw and hind leg. —Patchfeather^{Hangar 18, I know too much} 00:20, December 28, 2019 (UTC)

Reuploaded Sandy ^{My Talk} 23:28, December 28, 2019 (UTC)

The shading is still leaking in the areas Patch mentioned. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 23:35, December 28, 2019 (UTC)

I can provide a red line if you need one. —Patchfeather^{Hangar 18, I know too much} 18:51, December 29, 2019 (UTC)

Yes, please! Sandy ^{My Talk} 22:05, December 29, 2019 (UTC)

here are the spots I was talking about, hope this helps^^ —Patchfeather^{Hangar 18, I know too much} 17:32, December 31, 2019 (UTC)

Reuploaded Sandy ^{My Talk} 09:23, January 1, 2020 (UTC)

There's still shading leaking in the areas Patch mentioned. Add some more shading along the lower jaw, behind the ear closest to us, and the back heel/haunch area peeking out from behind. Vec ^{I am Iron Man! 👾} 00:22, January 2, 2020 (UTC)

I probably won't get this done. I'd like to withdraw. Sandy ^{My Talk} 09:48, January 6, 2020 (UTC)

I'll take over. ~Ripple ☆ 02:54, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

reuploaded. ~Ripple ☆ 04:45, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Smooth out that edge of shading on the haunch closest to the rump, please. —Jayce(05:52, 1/07/2020)​​

reuploaded. ~Ripple ☆ 15:35, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Remove some shading on top of the front paw and define the light on the tail a bit. Vec ^{I am Iron Man! 👾} 22:56, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Willowpelt (W) - For Approval

I tried out some bounce light so let's see how this goes.. the shading also does not want to co-op with me. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 20:35, January 4, 2020 (UTC)

Smooth out the shading? ~Ripple ☆ 20:37, January 4, 2020 (UTC)

Reuploaded --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 20:45, January 4, 2020 (UTC)

can you maybe move the white on the left eye a bit? With it centered in the pupil its making the pupils in each eye look different sizes. And add some light to the chin. Eggheart!🐥^{A True Warrior}

Reuploaded Changes are not showing for me; just in case check the file history for the updated image. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 21:35, January 4, 2020 (UTC)

Smooth out the main body shading just a bit more? Vec ^{I am Iron Man! 👾} 05:17, January 6, 2020 (UTC)

I think the shading could most be smoothened out on the chest. Also, there appears to be leaking shading on the top of the shoulder by the lineart. Eggheart!🐥^{A True Warrior} 16:50, January 6, 2020 (UTC)

That's bounce light, Egg. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 16:53, January 6, 2020 (UTC)

Bounce light should be going down the whole length of the back then, not just the shoulder. There would also be a bit of a bounce light on the tail too. — max ^{it is the real thing,} (19:14, 06/1/2020)

Reuploaded Shading. Pain. Much. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 00:10, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if this is supposed to be there but the shading seems to disappear on <—— side (by the spine/back)---Glacier ()​​​ 01:03, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

It's bounce light, Oceanpelt. It's intentional, and I was told to add more (hence why I reupped a while ago). --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 01:21, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

It should be a more uniform line, at the moment it looks quite patchy which is why it looks like leading shading. It should be one very soft line on the edge of the shading ( I normally have my base shading layer cover the area, and then have my depth layer create the bounce light). — max ^{it is the real thing,} (01:33, 07/1/2020)

Oh, what’s bounce light?—-Glacier ()​ 06:15, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Reuploaded So I tried doing that, and the shading became even more gross than it already was. I have removed the bounce light, and now I'm much happier with the image. As for your question, Ocean, bounce light is where light shines on a place where there is shading. The shading "bounces" off the light, giving the illusion light is bouncing off the image. Some users use it as a way of gaining more depth for their images. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 23:54, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

(Sorry for this comment, but I want to clear up what a bounce light is, and this in no way pertains to the image in question.)

Sorry, Potato but that's not entirely what a bounce light is - a bounce light essentially another light is bounced off a reflective surface onto the subject to achieve a softer lighting effect. It's generally used in photography, but, can be used in art to achieve a better sense of a 3D object - seen here or here. It doesn't just appear where there is shading, but, because it is more light that is where it becomes more noticeable. The shading doesn't bounce the light at all, in this situation the ground would be a much more applicable reflective surface.

Just wanted to comment this to avoid misinformation being spread, as bounce lighting can be considered an advanced technique as it can easily appear as leaking shading when incorrectly used. — max ^{it is the real thing,} (04:26, 09/1/2020)

Wasptail (W) ~ For Evaluation

The stripes aren't the most matching and best I know, but I like it. I'll tweak them better after advice. Sandy ^{My Talk} 10:36, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Re-up Waste Sandy ^{My Talk} 10:39, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Could you add some shading depth! They're very pretty!! — ☆ paper · finches ★ 19:23, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Given your light source, flip the shading on the top of the tail to the bottom of the tail. And perhaps recede the shading on the chin and muzzle? The stripes should also be more jagged to match the apprentice. Whoops didnt see you already commented on that Eggheart!🐥^{A True Warrior} 20:07, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

The stripes should be thinner and sharper, more jagged like Egg said. Overall, I think what Thunder had originally matches better in terms of stripe style if you want to reference that ^^ Vec ^{I am Iron Man! 👾} 21:27, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Re-up Sandy ^{My Talk} 23:41, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Could you give the stripes a bit of a more "fuzzy" look to match the set? I think using a rough/fuzzy brush and continually smudging back and forth will help to achieve that. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 23:44, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

I don't seem to have the brush in my paint program. Maybe I could just smudge the stripes? (I use Medibang paint pro) Sandy ^{My Talk} 01:56, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

If you don't have a fuzzy brush, try smudging with a 1px brush back and forth. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 01:59, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

Re-up I hope they're fuzzier Sandy ^{My Talk} 23:41, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Owlstar (SotC) (W) - For Approval

Them eyes. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 00:28, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

If possible, could you adjust how you have the pupils? They seem a wee bit out of place and slightly off-putting. —Jayce(01:41, 1/09/2020)​​​​

Reuploaded --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 01:47, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

Could you round out the eyes a little more? They look rather squarish, when the sides could be brought out a little more to give them shape. — max ^{it is the real thing,} (04:06, 09/1/2020)

Are the eyes meant to look usual? Sandy ^{My Talk} 09:12, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

Yep! He has eyes that are wide like an owl. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 13:55, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

Reuploaded For Max's comment. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 01:31, January 10, 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I should've clarrifed where I meant for the eyes; it was more the bottom that looked very squarish - here's a redline for what I meant. — max ^{it is the real thing,} (05:19, 10/1/2020)

Violet (KP) (K) - For Approval

I completely forgot about this, thank you Vec for reminding me. I know the nomination hasn't passed for the rogue, but it needs one more vote to pass so I may as well. —Patchfeather^{Hangar 18, I know too much} 02:13, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

A deceased rogue Thunderstar and Lightning Tail find in Thunderstar's Echo. --Av ^{Out of sight and out of mind} () 02:56, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

Can you smooth the shading on the back leg closest to us? The little section at the top of the leg probably wouldn't stretch that far out to show the difference between belly and leg. — max ^{it is the real thing,} (05:16, 10/1/2020)
