Making a 'realistic' OC and need help? Take a look! These are some of the most basic 'rules' of creating a Warrior. 1: Muzzle. If you make the muzzle too long (colored cat), it can look like a dog. Refer to the tiny sketch above him. 2: Eyes. No cat has rainbow irises or pupils. If you want a blind cat, don't forget to make the pupils cloudy. And if you want some heterochromia all up in there, please don't go neon. Natural heterochromia pairings are blue & brown/dark orange or blue & dark green.
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

Three: Tortie Toms. If you create a tom (male) who is a tortiseshell, he will probably be sterile. That means he can't have kits (it's a genetics thing, I guess). Tortie toms are rare. Four: Peircings. Oh boy. Peircings are a big thing. Tell me, how many stray/wild cats have earrings, or feathers shoved through their ears? Exactly. Five: Bangs. Please please pleeeeaase, if you want your cat realistic, don't give it bangs (small fur tufts are okay :D). See that gray cat? I have never seen a real cat with purple bangs in their eyes. Poor green cat probably can't see...
Six: Pelt Colours! Fun times! Cats don't have rainbow pelts. Or green or purple or neon blue or bright red. I'll list some basic cat colours: White, black, dark gray, light gray, golden, peach, ginger, cinnamon, orange, light brown, dark brown, silver, silver-blue, gray-blue. There are more, though. Google up a cat pelt guide :) Also, stripes are always the same colour as the pelt, just a different shade. No golden tabbies with black stripes... Anyway, thanks for reading! This guide is just a reference. You don't have to use it. If you wanna have a cat with all these traits and wings, go right ahead! It's fun! But if you need a realistic cat, and this doesn't help, I'd advise you check the tumblr blog ailuronymy. Use the ask box for inquries about pelt colours and names. If you're really stumped, there's always Google. :P
