What if...

What if Thistleclaw had been good instead of evil? There would be no reason for him not to become deputy and then leader. Bluefur wouldn't have had to give up her kits, and all three would be loyal Thunderclan warriors. Tigerclaw wouldn't have been evil, or at least not as bad (I personally think he would still be evil.) Scourge would not have been traumatized as a kit and wouldn't have a grudge against the clans. The whole of the battle against Bloodclan would not happen because Scourge has no reason to come to the clans. basically I think the clans would have been a much more peaceful place if Thistleclaw had been a good cat.

So here is Thistlestar, the proud leader of Thunderclan as he addresses his clan. At first, I wasn't sure how to represent the concept, there was so much stuff that would have happened if he had been good. I thought about doing a split panel picture showing the main changes, such as Bluefur and her grown up kits, and a reformed Tigerclaw, but I decided to just go with a general picture of Thistlestar addressing the clan.

Anyway this artwork is my entry for contest. the theme being "What if". _{(In case you hadn't figured it out)} The contest is still running, albeit entry's can only be submitted for another two days. Here's a link for more info: [link]
