Time for another fanfic character to get an updated sheet! This time it's Finchwing, my sweet medicine cat boy <3 As a reminder, I was inspired to start updating some of these old reference sheets both for the sake of commissions, and when recently I stumbled across something - my fanfic series Echoes of the War has its own trope page!

You can find the reverse side of his design here.

For his physical description, Finchwing is described as a large, thick-set, fluffy tom with a torn ear. The ear tear is from Breeze and his rogues marking one apprentice from each Clan to frighten them into taking him seriously, for those who don't recall. He's a large boy like his mom (at least she is in my fanfic - turns out in canon she's small, oops XD), it's always fun trying to juggle keeping a cat looking stocky but also tall, I think I managed it well here. :D He's got a wise look to him, if that makes sense.

For his pattern, Finchwing is described as a golden tabby tom with white markings and yellow eyes. I kept the pattern the same, just shifted the colors a bit so they weren't as orange as his more recent design or as green-y yellow as his older design, but still feels right for him and feels like just a more realistic version of his oldest design. I also made his eyes more yellow-ish, as I felt the older color felt too amber.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how he turned out

Thank You For Drawing!

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

We did our best to mimic the styles of artists that influenced us in our own style. The unlabeled one is Vivzipop, and was drawn from memory due to not being able to remember her name to look up references, so it's not as good as it could have been. We included some artwork that we've been most proud of throughout the years, and hope you can see your influences in them.

@zarla-s @lynxgriffin @probablyfakeblonde @finchwingart riverspirit @vivziepop

Thank you for being such amazing artists and role models! We've long since stopped trying to mimic Riverspirit, Zarla, Finchwing, and Vivzipop's style, but you were integral to our journey as an artist and forever an influence on our style. And we have to thank Lynxgriffen especially for helping us learn how to draw humans! Watching your Undertale drawing streams gave us a better understanding of faces!

We especially loved Riverspirit's Warriors art, Finchwing's Gravity Falls art, Vivzipop's animations, Lynxgriffen's Dogs of Future's Past comic, Zarla's Handplates comic, and ProbablyFakeBlonde's animal art! Those are what influenced us the most, though we loved everything you guys have done, and we wouldn't be in certain Fandoms that we are today without you!

I also wanted to include @xxtc-96xx, but I couldn't remember their name and didn't have access to my Tumblr at the time. But thanks to you as well. Your Endertale comics influenced my style a lot as well. And your Mewtwo comics have been a delight despite my disinterest in Pokémon in general.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
