Well, I know I already made a design for this guy. But with the new poll released on the official Warriors website for fans to decide on Rootpaw's warrior name (which you can find HERE) came the revelation that Rootpaw has blue eyes. Just slapping some blue eyes on the broken mackeral tabby design I had for him didn't look right, so I decided to totally revamp his design instead. So here is Rootpaw's new design. ^^
The only description we have of Rootpaw so far is that he's a yellow tom (now with blue eyes). That's the same description as his dad, so I decided to try and make his phyiscal build more like his mom's to add some variety. He's a shorthair like Violetshine, rather than having long fur like his dad, and he's on the lither side like her, though of course all of this is subject to change if more of Rootpaw's description is given in the text, this is just what I'm going with for now based on what we have to work with.
Before, I designed him as a broken mackeral tabby like his dad. Now, however, with his canon blue eyes, I decided a lynx point tabby pattern would help make those blue eyes look a little less out of place. He's still got the same stripe markings as before, but now with different colors, similar to Tree's but with more of them, to fit the pointed tabby pattern.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out. Â He doesn't look almost identical to his dad anymore, and while I liked the other design I came up with for him, I honestly love how the point pattern looks together with those blue eyes, and I love his new colors and how his pattern looks overall.
