Hello!! This is a drawing that I began back in February, and finally decided to finish yesterday and today. Here's the sketch on paper:

The digital character without the background:

And the final thing(!):

Also, note that I used Chamops's design for Ryeheart. x3 Be sure to check her out! I'm actually pretty proud of myself for this drawing. I explored the world of shading, and I don't think that I did too terribly bad. I mostly got the effect I was going for with the sunlight.

Also, you can see the scars on on his face, ear, and leg from his fights with other cats. (Mostly Sloeflight, his former Clanmate, and Russetpelt and Pebble of BrightClan and rogueness when he was breaking up half-Clan relationships.) He does have more scars, but Ryeheart's pretty thick-furred, so they're not visible. I tried to also work a bit more with fur and his expression. Anywho, I bet that y'all are wanting the story behind this, so...here it is!

This scene took place right before Ryeheart left with the PineClan prophecy cats to look for a cure for the greencough epidemic. He went into Whitestar's den, asking if he could leave with them. He and his former mentor got onto the subject of Ryeheart's secret mother, Willowberry. Whitestar then said, "You know you can't keep Willowberry out of your life, Ryeheart."

And...yeah! xD Whitestar is owned by Fruit_Spice, by the way. Be sure to give me your feedback on my digital-artness y'all.
