Stonefur's decision

Started out as mere sketch I was never going to finished. It ended in weeks of work and this.

I had some difficult time at home, there were problems in the family due one of my close family members got cancer and died. I had a difficult time with it, and in my spare time, I started to put everything in this. Sorry commisioners, your drawings will be finished as soon as possible. I won't rush however, they won't look better than. I took several weeks, excluding a week vacation I took.

Please respect the effort that was put in it, I know Tigerstar has to be standing on a hill of bones, but I spend hours on trying that and it just wouldn't work. So he's standing on a normal rock now.

About the cats in the background, most of them are fanmade characters. I'm on a dutch warrior cats RPG forum, and I asked them for cats in the background. I also put in my own riverclan apprentice, Foxpaw.

All the background cats from left to right: Darkfire, Foxpaw, Silverpool, Purplestorm, Dewshimmer, Stormleaf, Stormtail, Daisykit, Darkstripe(CANON), Dimpaw, Scytheshade, Cinderflame, Blackfoot(CANON).

The cats in the middle are: Featherpaw, Stormpaw, Stonefur, Leopardstar and Tigerstar.

The cats completely in front, watching from the reeds are: Ravenpaw, Graystripe, Firestar

About the scene:

This is a very memorable(at least, it is for me) scene from The darkest hour. Tigerstar became leader of Shadow AND Riverclan and formed them together to Tigerclan. He despiced the halfclan cats, calling them filth etcetra. Stonefur then snarls to him that no cat has the right to question his loyalty. Tigerstar then orders him to prove his loyalty by killing Stormpaw and Featherpaw, the two apprentices behind him. They are also halfclan, the kits of Graystripe. Stonefur says he'll only take orders from Leopardstar, she then replies that he has to listen to Tigerstar and kill them. And now we've reached the point that I tried to capture.

The drawing itself is gigantic, you'll have to press download to see the full detail of everything, but don't say I haven't warned you!
