i drew art of redtail previously in checks files 2021 apparently? feels like it's been longer than that 😳 so i went back to that and colorpicked him, kept his markings mostly same also because i actually liked what i had. but i changed his body type to make him more short and stocky

i wanted to change his body type because i picture sol as being pretty similar to the previous pic i'd done of him, and since they're both torties i fear that they'd be difficult to distinguish. besides, i think i pictured redtail being more bulky when i first read the books as a kid. i also made his ears smaller and changed his eye shape somewhat.

everything else is about the same, just simplified a bit!

i showed a comparison between the designs here: https://polarpace.tumblr.com/post/773038020285939712/17-redtail-i-drew-art-of-redtail-previously-in
