For the current contest. My inspiration being the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware and all that's involved in that part of American History. As well as that scene where the outlanders forde the river to attack; so I tried to blend both images into this picture. :P

While Zira was a bit messed up her goal was still pretty similar. Freedom from what she viewed as an oppressive regime.... (and revenge, but you get the picture.)

Wonder if Simba taxed them for hunting rights? Was there a Serengheti Antelope Party? Huh...

Holy crap is this another full picture in a couple days?!

It is!

Amazing!

I dunno I was listening to "My Skin" by Natalie Merchant which made me think of this picture: TLK-I-Need-This-82524791

and so I decided to do another one like it... So this is kind of a redux.

Why is it that I seem to like drawing Spirit!Mufasa so much?

Also, I fail so hard at clouds.

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they’d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I have no idea. I was just listening to my Spiderman the Movie soundtrack and thats on there, and that chorus made me want to draw hyenas so I did. I liked the sketch enough to post it, but not finish it.

"I stand alone in the storm (listen listen)
Suddenly sweet words take hold
(Listen listen)
Hurry they say for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you're alone
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain"
- Listen to the Rain by Evanescence

It was gonna be Simba like from that scene at the end of the movie, but then I decided I didn't want to draw borring old Simba, so I did Mohatu instead. Anyway, I was gonna do a full BG and crap, but I think that anything more would take away from the impact of Mohatu there, so I just left it like this. I like it the way it is, myself.

It was a little known fact that when Scar wasn't gearing up to be the greatest evil the pridelands ever saw, he drooled in his sleep.

Probably the closest thing to a V-day pic you'll see from me, 'cause I don't really celebrate Valentines. >_> It all just seems so overdone and commercialized. Bah.

I said to myself the other day: Self, I'd really like to do a picture of Scar's profile because its just that interesting.

I hadn't gotten around to it yet, and last night I looked out the window around sunset and the sky was this gorgeous pure yellow and I just went "I want to do a background like that."

So I did.

no risk, no fun I'm here, you're gone I'm cool, you're hot I love you not
Don't say a word Unless you're heard
I know I hate to see you rude I think I'll let you down
You should have let me go I think I'll make you leave
'Cause you have lost control
You've pushed the line too far Bye-bye
Turn over, there's no need to try You waste your time
You're absolutely useless, baby I think I'll let you down
You should have let me go I think I'll make you leave
'Cause you have lost control.

He had their guilt for their “wrongful” acts toward him. He had the dedication of the King's Daughter, and the King's forgiveness. All of his obstacles were falling away, one by one.

All that stood between him and the goal were Simba and Nala. If Nala happened to run afoul of a herd of water buffalo while out hunting, and Simba's heart broke from all his life's tragedy thereafter... Well, that certainly wasn't Kovu's fault.

They'd taken care of Nuka and Zira for him. Like he'd let Mummy Dearest control him. Puh. His plot might not have been as flashy as Zira's crazy schemes, but Kovu rather thought Scar would be proud of the insidious nature of it.

Zira had, perhaps, trained him a little to well. Pity she'd never know that now.

Looks like they could have that little heart to... heart... any time Scar wanted now.

Sadly, Mufasa didn't get a choice in the matter anymore.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Ratigan's unctuous voice oozed.

"Don't bother with them." The smooth, sauve voice of his companion drawled. "They're more trouble than they're worth."

For days now he had been appearing to her as she walked and asking “Come walk with me?” and every time Sarabi would say, “I can not.”

Every day he would return and again ask “Come walk with me?”, and again she would deny him. It broke her heart a little more every time, but she knew that they still needed her.

Then one day she knew that she was free, and she went to the gorge and laid amongst the greenest place there and waited. He came to her again, and when he asked “Come walk with me?” She said:

“I'm ready.”

“Dost thou have anything to say for thyself, Scar? (Taka?)” the voice was multitudes and singularity all in one.“Ye who hast sullied this great pride land?” For once in his life Scar was silent: There was no lying, no manipulating these Beings. His pride would not allow him to plead. Even as he could see the gleaming presence of his once (and forever) great brother pleading with him. That Mufasa would have care and forgiveness for him even now. "We know thine guilt." Scar stared impassively at the Great Kings, and waited for his Punishment. “Ye coveted the title, the crown, and hence we name ye King! King of Fools, King of the Withered Tree, King of the Dry Riverbed! Wallow in the pity of thine own avarice!”

"The rains come." Zira rasped.

Then it broke over them with the sound of a thousand stampeding wildebeest, or maybe the long last bellow of a defiant water buffalo.

They would survive another barren year.

Anyway, I noticed the other day that I've been a semi-active member of the online TLK fandom for over 3-4 years now. My first TLK picture was of a cub Kovu, so I decided to follow through the tradition, and add another picture to my little progression comparison image.

As the grass parted for each rise and fall of his paws Mufasa glanced back, and laughed softly at the determined focused expression on Simba's face. With each bounding leap he took he felt the fear, the anger, the worry melt away into nothingness: The rest of the world could wait, no, the entirety of the sacred circle of life could wait...

He would enjoy this moment with his son, his heir, his little prince. He would enjoy their time spent romping like cubs beneath the gaze of the Great Kings, and he would it cherish until the end of his days.

Kiara was like everything that was good: Bright, alive, and cheerful; and sometimes it hurt Kovu to even look at her.

He knew there was still a darkness in him, and he figured it would always be there. It was that small part of him that made him know he was unworthy of being near her, this princess of all that was good.

He often wondered if she'd use her brightness to burn away the darkness in him, but he also knew if he asked her to that she'd only laugh and tell him that the only thing dark about him was his pelt.
