Description
This is Ivypool of ThunderClan.
Name: Ivypool
Gender: Female
Clan: ThunderClan
Rank: Queen
Mother: Whitewing (deceased)
Father: Birchfall
Sister: Dovewing
Mate: Toadstep
Daughters: Beetlekit , Yewkit
Son: Antkit

EDIT 2: Design has since been changed.

EDIT: I decided to lighten her up a little and make her less blue-ish, I think she looks more like a silver tabby now. I'll edit Beetlekit to look the same way. Also, I gave her whiskers.

Ugggggggh, I was so focused and productive this morning, then I started getting distracted, and instead of finishing the reading I meant to finish tonight, I suddenly got this really strong urge to draw a new ref sheet for Ivypool and spent a few hours doing that instead. -_- And I was actually on ADD medicine that time - that was me at my most productive and least distractable. Now I have a lot to do tomorrow that I didn't get done tonight. At least I got a fair bit done this morning and afternoon.

So yeah, I was looking at Ivypool's ref sheet, and it was starting to look really wonky and too rounded, and just really unrealistic with the anatomy. I decided to make her a new ref sheet, using her father's lineart (with some major overhauling). It took me a long time to get this to look the way I wanted, but 'm actually really happy with it now.

Unlike last time, this time I made some major changes to her pattern. I expanded the white on her chest and legs, so that her front legs are entirely encircled by the tabby part. I expanded the silver patch on the rump further out onto the belly, and put more white on the lower part of her cheeks, and on her nose. I try to make her look somewhat similar to how she looked on the cover of FE, which is why only her muzzle and eye marks were white before, but she just looked odd with only that much white on her face and way more white on the rest of her, so I finally caved in and put more white on her face. I also lightened up the scars a lot, and changed their placement and shape for some of them.

I also got rid of the brownish and purplish bits of fur she had before. They looked interested, but they didn't really match the look of a silver cat at all, so I got rid of them. I think she looks better without them, honestly. I'll do the same sometime on Beetlekit's ref sheet. I also gave her another belly fur, with a bit of a brownish tinge, to sort of fill that spot under the eyes, which was looking too bare without the brown fade. I also nicked her ears up a lot more, but I think it suits her.

As for the anatomy, I got rid of the whole rounded face thing - it just wasn't looking right anymore. It's still kind of rounded, but not nearly to the extent it was before. I toned down the muscle and fluff on the neck a lot, and the fluff on the legs, though she definitely still has thick, medium-length fur. Her shoulders are still broad and muscular (though not to the extent of the Tigerstar family), as are her hips. I know she's described as small and slender on the Warriors wiki, but after checking the cites for that, she was mentioned as small and slender in Fading Echoes, when she was still a young apprentice. So I figure after growing to her full size, she's around average size, maybe a bit taller than average, and she's gotten a lot more muscle.
