Mattimeo of Redwall by DCLeadboot on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

One more traditional artwork for the interim.

Mattimeo, son of Matthias & Cornflower, as he would appear as a fully-mature young mouse.
Having come of age, Matthias announces his retirement and passes the Sword of Martin down to his son and names him the next Champion of Redwall.

In terms of recent fanfic RP-collabs with ~sailex, Mattimeo has done much to earn this position by now, as his developing powers of leadership, fighting ability and general heroic features have had plenty of chances to be practised.
He's still a mischievous young male with a snarky sense of humour, but he's long-since put the spoilt irresponsible Abbey-brat behind him, and looks ahead with a strong sense of commitment towards Redwall Abbey and the friends that he lives with there.
