It's been awhile since I've drawn Epona. So I figured I would finish off this sketch and use it for a white coloring guide I've been meaning to do. ^_^

Epona is approaching her 10th year here on TLKFAA at the end of Dec, my how things have changed.

Simba's Waterfall Game for the current contest Fun n' Games

I don't know about anyone else, but when I got to the Hakuna Matata level in the old SNES/Sega TLK game I spent weeks mastering the waterfall portion. The current contest inspired me to pay tribute to the actual TLK game with reflection of a "what if" scenario.

There is a little background story behind this I typed up on my DA submission. And you can see the high rez version there as well, Please check it out ^_^ ---> Simbas-Waterfall-Game-140253282

With all the Kanye West VMA Interruption's I couldn't let this one go... what he did was horrible... but out of it I've been laughing so hard the last few days. ( this might make me a bad person... oh well )

So this be my addition to the internet craze. ^_^

I redrew Scar after looking at some screen grabs, Mufasa is a screen grab from TLK 2. Didn't have a lot of time to work on it, but at least it gets the joke across.
Edit: Changed the backgrounds and added in my own Mufasa...

Steampunk Nala for the current contest "Cosplay"

I chose the steampunk look because its huuuuuuuge right now. Everything is steampunk related. X-men, Starwars, important historical figures all seem to be attacked by the genre. So why not TLK? Thought it would be fitting. XD

Had to draw this in a more anthropomorphic style to fit the theme. Dunno if I like it or not. I am pleased with the colors and the pose though. First time attempting the steampunk look too. So yeah... it is what it is... lol

Ice Clover Epona white lioness and white cheetah versions. I like this one for the fact that yes Epona is an animal representation of myself. Cheetah me is very energetic, adventurous, daring, and mischievous. While Lioness me is more laid back, goes with the flow, caring though very cautious, sometimes too prideful, and patient with others tolerating more then she really should.

Mickey was sent to the African Savanna to search for actors in his next big movie, titled "The Lion King." It was easy to cast every role but one, young Simba. Time was running out, Mickey just couldn't settle for just any young lion cub. He needed one that could send the audience on an emotional roller coaster. Then one morning, just as Mickey had almost given up, a lost lion cub walked through the camp area. Mickey swiftly darted right up to him. He explained who he was and asked if he would be his next big star. Completely shocked, the lion gazed up. All the lion cub could think about was; "Dang that's a big Mouse."

One day while exploring his future kingdom, the young prince stumbled upon an interesting creature. This was something he had ever seen before. It moved funny like a slug, and his eyes focused upon Simba as if it had never seen a lion. "Simba!" Mufasa called for his son. Simba smiled at the creature and then pranced away. The great King needed to show his son many more wonderful things.

For the current contest: The Really Wild Show

Scientists say that male lions with darker manes tend to be more healthy, have a longer reproductive life span and attract more females then lighter maned lions.

So in terms of relating this information to The Lion King, Scar would be the better choice for King rather then Mufasa. Social roles within the pride would be completely be in reverse. So thats what I tried to portray in this image. Scar is admired by Sarabi and Sarafina while Mufasa is left alone and ignored.

This is a huge file, my apologies. To fit everyone I had to make it rather large.

Long time project of mine that I started back in 2003 that I'm now just getting around to finish. Its Epona's entire family tree. For those that heavily know the lion king hierarchy, yes thats Uru on the far right. Uru and Ahadi are Mufasa and Scar's parents. In my fan fic world Uru had a sister named Kyasu who married to Riven and had Sorrel and Kura. Sorrel being the mother to Epona... well lets just say Epona is a distant cousin to Simba.

I've also went ahead and filled in Luna and Mara's side of the family. I was only going of a few notes I recently found to make this tree whole. I never would have remembered else wise.

~~ Happy 7th annual Brian Tiemann Day! ~~

When I joined TLKFAA, places like deviant art, photo bucket had yet to exist. Uploading images onto the internet cost quite a bit for an account. I was so lucky to have found TLKFAA that freely let me post my fanart. I grew to love the community and I grew as an artist. Digital art was really a new thing to the world. To this day I still say to people the skills I learned doing years of fan art better prepared for my professional career in game art and design. I never knew that I'd be sitting here 8 years later still enjoying the same thing, TLK fan art.

Thank you for everything Brian! Your continues dedication to archive doesn't go unnoticed!

It was my first time on sketcher last night, so messing around with the application I drew Simba and Firelemmming drew Zira right next to me. XD This was the end result. Thank you Firelemming for being my guide.

I'll be visiting sketcher more often I think.
