Mother: Dovewing
Father: Bumblestripe
Brother: Skystripe

Here's the next warrior ref sheet for my fanfic series EOTW, Ripplewing. ^^

Ripplewing is meant to have the size and muscle of his father, so I tried to definitely show that in his design. He's a big tom, though not massive like Silentstorm or the Tigerstar family, and sturdy in build. He's got a long pelt inherited from his father, but his pelt isn't as long as Bumblestripe's. It's fairly long and thick, he's just not as floofy as his father. His ears ears are a bit bigger than I wanted, even though I tweaked them - I think I'm just having problems drawing ears the way I want them. I had the same problem with Skystripe. He's got a thicker build than his brother and mother, and a broader face like his father (he may need a redesign at some point to reflect that). His tail is fluffy, but not as floofy as his father's. He's also got some scars and ear notches now, from being in battles.

I kept his colors the same as before, with one exception - I made the ear color a little darker, less saturated, and more yellow. It was too bright of a pink compared to his pelt before, and was standing out too much. Other than that, I've kept his colors exactly the same as on his apprentice sheet. The design has been tweaked a little.

First, I took the M markings above his eyes and made them more compact, less wide, and connected at the tip. It just looked weird the old way, not quite as realistic as I wanted, and they were bleeding over onto the ear color, which I didn't want. I also changed the side stripes a bit, as they didn't all fit on the side while being as thick as I wanted them to be, as Ripplewing is supposed to have thick stripes. They're mostly the same, just with some changes.

The stripes as on the legs are a bit different too, with more added and them being more uniform, and thicker. The chest stripes are the same as before, as are the face stripes (minus the ones above the eyes). I thickened the tail stripes a ton, to the point where the regular fur color is barely visible, and I made the tail tip dark (which feels justified, as it was dark when I first drew him for the Dovewing's Sons image. I mostly wanted to make it clear in his design how thick his stripes are.

I'm pretty happy with how he looks here. ^^ Onto Aspenlily next, who is going to be... interesting to redesign, now that her father's brown fur is so much darker.
