Tbh; I thought designing him would be a lot easier but um... this is my wip so far :,) So share with me your ideas! (remix or comment suggests you have for him!) I think it's a couple chapters before another Firepaw scene so there's a few weeks to finalise this :3
Firstly, dark red patterns feel like a necessity (to help differentiate him from Swiftpaw's eventual look). Other notes: -I chose to focus on more abstract concepts of time: Ripples in water; The movement of leaves and flower petals in the wind; The sensation of changing seasons -Gotta have a few swirls ofc -There's an alt design idea where the chest patterns are raised in a sort of fluffy leaf-shaped collar instead of lying flat
