How To Get Characters Unstuck
Characters (Realism):
Realistic characters are characters that are realistic to nature. I will give you some tips here.
Cats
Cats are usually used on FeralHeart for Warrior Cats, a book series. However, many cats on the game are unrealistic when they shouldn't be.
White Cats: White cats are only seen with blue eyes - it is very rare to see any other color. Remember, many white cats are DEAF. There are a few who are not, but try to remember that.
Orange Cats: There is never a purely orange cat who doesn't have stripes - even if they're hard to see, they'll have stripes.
Tortoiseshells: Always female cats. These cats are usually orange, white and black, sometimes a russet brown. They also have patches.
Calicos: Always male cats - these guys do not have patches, but instead a mixture of the colors together.
I'd advise you make small ears, wide eyes and small muzzles (and chins). Also, wild cats are skinny, so don't make them fat, even if they are 'large' or 'strong'.
Muzzles: Small
Foreheads: Either way?
Eyes: Kind of large
Tail: CAT TAILS. Realistic cats do NOT have lion tail-tips!
Mane Tufts: I understand if your cat is fluffy/thick-furred, but try not to go for full manes.
Size: Keep them small! These are not lions. There will never be a cat (even Maine Coons!) who are at a humans' shoulders. No...just no.
Wolves
Wolves do not have celtic markings - not realistic ones. They are a mixture of colors. If a gray wolf, I'd advise having Husky/Some Other Dog Markings and making them a SLIGHTLY darker gray. This goes for white, black, etc. too.
WOLVES ARE NOT PITCH BLACK! Try '15' '15' '15' in the colors to get a realistic black wolf.
Muzzle: Medium
Cheeks: Medium
Eyes: Small(ish)
Tail: Thick fur, thick tail. No cat tails!
Weight: Depends. If your wolf is smaller, make it skinny. If a male/larger wolf, keep it medium.
Hyena
Hyenas...the most misused unrealistic characters on this game. For starters, not even the TLK hyenas are gray. If you pay attention, they're a dusty brown. The light sometimes causes the colors to look gray, but they are NOT gray.
Sickle tails is an interesting idea, but remember that hyenas only curl their tails when happy.
Also, it's cub, not pup. The females are in charge, too.
Muzzle: Medium
Eyes: Large(ish)
Tail: Not sickle - try a thin tail
Colors: Dusty brown with black spots - eyes are usually a honey-like color, not green or blue or red for example.
Weight: Medium - remember, males are slightly smaller than females.
Lions
Lions are not like The Lion King. As good as the movie is, no lion has a red mane. In fact, darker manes attract lionesses more than light ones. There is Queen, either. There can be even five males in the pride working together to protect it. When a different lion from the previous one(s) takes over, cubs are killed unless the lionesses fight hard enough. Almost all the cubs in the pride are the males', though some may have a lone/rogue lion as their father.
Cubs have spots until they're teen-aged, even if they're hard to see!
Muzzle: Medium to small
Eyes: Small/Large
Colors: Pale tan or brown. Manes should be slightly darker than pelt color, unless you're an old lion. Eyes are a light brown!
Weight: Medium for males, skinny for females and cubs.
Remember, male young adults leave the pride to start their own!
More animals to be added.
