Description I couldn't find any source that described Longtail's eye colour so I just did what I wanted based on colour harmony. I looked up pictures of scratched eyeballs for this, which was gross.

edit: Added in his ear tear - can't believe I forgot!

Would Longtail have the notch in his ear from his fight with then-Rusty?

Are you still able to edit, or is there too much detail now?

Or you could just leave him as is

That's a pretty major physical trait so I'm going to edit him on Monday. Thanks for pointing it out - I can't believe I forgot orz I even keep the character description open while I'm working.

No problem Big fan of the books, so I (attempt) to remember at least the characters of the first series

love that you made him a decent "pale" tabby by the way! (as only way can a tabby be "pale" and with dark stripes is by being light silver - any other way wouldn't have worked)

Great work, though!

I've gotten a LOT of comments over different art communities of people saying they thought he was brown/tan, which is weird because that's the visual I had too. I wonder where that came from? Maybe because he's only described as "tabby" in the allegiances? Haha somehow this character was only vaguely described, despite being from the OS.

Thanks for the comment!

DrakynWyrm In reply to ashkey [2015-05-02 13:00:04 +0000 UTC]

I guess because it took the Erins until the second series, 3rd book, for them to mention he's silver. Before then "pale" was a pretty vague way to describe him.

Wait, is this who he looks?
Isn't he a pale yellow?

Nope, he's silver. I pictured him more yellow/brown too. Thanks for the comment!
