Merry Christmas everyone! I know, this isn't my yearly drawing of Rudolph, I'll get to that - it might be posted late December early January. Sorry, just haven't been super motivated for it. In the meantime, I finally managed to get this done. This is my completed version of the The Broken Code design challenge!
Okay, to explain Stemleaf’s appearance. Basically, I decided to draw Stemleaf in his mind-controlled ghost form, and at one point it was mentioned that some ghosts still had the wound that killed them, so I included the wound on his neck that killed him. The other wounds are from fights he was in within the Dark Forest. The super wide-blown pupils are my interpretation of the description of the mind-controlled ghosts having eyes black as holes, and having creepily blank expressions. I'm rather proud of how it turned out.
This one was fun to draw. I realized after finishing it that I have quite a few thick, fluffy design for the cats in this arc, but hopefully they all look distinctive. Spotfur is smaller and less muscular/broad than Bramblefake and Rootspring, and smaller than them overall. Stemleaf has shorter fur than the rest, sort of a thick medium coat, and a lithe build. Briss is of course a lanky skinny girl with fur that clumps in bristly tufts, Root is a broad floofy boy but not especially tall, and the impostor is just as massive and fluffy as the true Bramblestar, though his pelt is less well-looked-after and is rather ragged and messy as a result, and he's got a whole mess of scars from all of the stuff he put Bramble's body through.
I added some new scars to Rootspring from injuries he suffered in ALITM. I added the Impostor's glowy eyes more as artistic license than anything I think he actually had in the books, though I imagine he let any blue in his eyes/glowy eyes show more once his ruse was uncovered and every cat knew he was Ashfur.
Anyway, merry Christmas again, and I hope you guys like this one! I'm rather pleased with it.

Some WC skits
Dovewing's Phone : *ringing*
Ivypool : *looks over* Aren't you a little old to be calling Birchfall "Daddy"?
Dovewing : *answering the phone with a nonchalant expression* Hey, Tigerheart.
Ivypool : *chokes on her food*
---------------
Tigerstar 2 : I told the kits they weren't allowed to play in the snow because the might get sick.
Dovewing : And?
Tigerstar 2 : and they told me if I didn't, then I wasn't their best friend anymore.
Dovewing : What did you do?
Tigerstar 2 : Well they've been playing in the snow for the past six hours and I'm the Greatest person in existence in their eyes.
Dovewing : *sighs* Of course.
-------------
Birchfall : So, you're the Tom who wants to be with my daughter?
Tigerstar 2 : Y-yes.
Birchfall : *Eyes him up*I don't care if you're a clan leader, I'll determine what is good for my daughter.
Tigerstar 2 : Y-yes, sir.
Dovewing : Father!
Birchfall : I only want what is best for you.
Whitewing : Honey, he's the father of our grandkits and he kept Dovewing safe on their journey back. I think he's perfect for her.
Ivypool : But he joined the Dark Forest!
Tigerstar 2 : So did you!
Birchfall : Enough! We'll have dinner and afterwards, I'll determine if he's good enough.
Dovewing : *whispering to Tiger* Use the secret weapon
Tigerstar 2 : Uh, ok... Birchfall, if you approve of me and your daughter's relationship, you'll have special visitation rights in Shadowclan to see your grandkits, along with Whitewing.
Birchfall : *thinks about it before looking at Whitewing* Honey, he's the one.
Ivypool : WHAT?!
Tigerstar 2 : *looking at Dovewing* Wow, I can't believe that worked. How did you know it would?
Dovewing : Grandparents can't resist the chance to visit thier grandkits whenever they please.
--------
Tigerstar 2 after a particularly stressful day of leading ShC : *Yawns* So tired! *Falls down and buries himself into Dovewing* Hmmm, warmth. So warm and soft.
Dovewing : Stressful day?
Tigerstar 2 : Oh you don't know the half of it, Dove! First, there was-*cut off by Dovewing kissing him* What was that for?
Dovewing, teasing : You don't like my kisses now?
Tigerstar 2 : Starclan no! They're the best part of my day sometimes. But why?
Dovewing : *shrugs* I don't want to hear about your day. *Licks him on the head* Now sleep, Tigey.
Tigerstar 2 : But the clan-
Dovewing : Will be perfectly fine under Cloverfoot and Tawnypelt's watch. You deserve a full day's rest.
Tigerstar 2 : Well...if you say so. *Closes his eyes and quickly falls asleep, snoring and softly muttering about his love for his family as he does so*
Dovewing : Oh, Tiger, you idiotic fluff ball. I love you so much.
-------------
Shadowkit : Dad, can I have candy?
Tigerstar 2 : No.
Shadowkit : B-b-but-
Tigerstar 2 : You already ate a payday an hour ago. You're good.
Shadowkit, tearing up : B-b-b-but...*starts to cry* WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Tigerstar 2, being unsure of how to handle the situation : Aw geez! Please, Shadowkit, don't cry! Please calm down! *Looks around* Do you want that teddy bear? You said your old one was falling apart. *Shadow continues to cry* Yeah, I don't like that idea either. *Looks around again* What about-*roar of a lion is heard close by* Oh no! Please, Shadowkit! Stop crying! Please, before your mother-
Dovewing, hella angry at Tigerstar 2 due to Shadowkit crying : WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABY?!
--------------
Tigerstar 2 : Well, let the meeting begin.
Fakebramble : You're ugly and Shadowclan deserves better leadership.
Tigerstar 2 : I...no, I can't say that.
Fakebramble : What?
Tigerstar 2 : I can't call you trash.
Fakebramble : Why?
Tigerstar 2 : Because Tawnypelt told it's never a good idea to roast trash. But she never said anything about roasting you!
Tawnypelt : True!
----------
Bramblestar : Hey, Alderheart.
Alderheart : Hey.
Bramblestar : Do you think I'm a good leader?
Alderheart : maybe.
Bramblestar, attempting to gloat : Who's the best leader of the clans?
Alderheart : Tigerstar seems to be doing an alright job.
Bramblestar : *shatters as his son disses him*
Tigerstar 2, across the lake : IN YOUR FACE!
