Description
This is Tree's old image.Old description:
Since I included Tree as the center cat for my River of Fire cover, I had to make a design for him, but I wanted to wait until all of the covers were done and posted before uploading his ref sheet. But now that the covers are all done, here he is. ^^
I felt really bad for Tree in his first apperance, but his lack of effort to work for his new Clan and his not seeming to care about their frustrations with his laziness, as well as the rushed nature of his relationship with Violetshine, was really not my favorite aspect of ROF. However, without spoiling too much of The Raging Storm, I did like him better in that book.
Tree is described as a muscular tom with a thick pelt and six toes on one of his hind paws. I figured it would be fitting for a somewhat odd cat like Tree to have a somewhat odd apperance, so I played with that a fair bit here. He has the muscle and thick pelt he's described with, but he's also got a certain lankiness to his legs and his build, and long ears with tufted fur, and a certain ragged apperance to his pelt. I think it suits his character rather well. No scars for him, since he seems the type to avoid fights, though I might have to add some later if things change in canon.
For his pattern, he's described as a yellow tom with amber eyes. With the theme of the somewhat-odd apperance, I decided to make him a broken mackeral tabby. I think the pattern suits him, and I'm really happy with how it turned out in general. I played with his colors to get a nice shade of yellow for him without making him too unrealistic, and I think these colors look good on him.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out. ^^ Not one of my favorite cats (though like I said, he's growing a bit more on me), but a very fun one to design.

Thanks! I looked up pictures of polydactl cats before drawing him, and this seemed to be the trend of what they looked like, so that's how I added his extra two toes. ^^

That's so cool.
I tried adding extra toes ones to a drawing it didn't work out.
