Another kind of surrealist/symbolic picture, guess I'm kind of into that style right now.

At heart all Vitani wanted was peace and for things to grow but she had to be loyal to her family and the unfortunate inner darkness it seemed to always turn to. One day she would break that cycle she promised...one day.

Haha, yeah this is super weird. It's an intuitive drawing, meaning I just did not think about anything, I just drew and this is what popped out and it included TPL of all things. Yeah I like doing the whole surreal thing, it's fun.

Also, I know it's been like forever since I last uploaded. I apologize, I've been really busy with school last semester and now I'm doing an animation internship and 2 online classes, so I unfortunately don't have a lot of time on my hands. :( I am looking at all of your wonderful art though, girl has to take a break every now and then. ;)

For those who watch me: sorry I have not been active at all the past few months, school has been crazy for me. Finals are this week, but after hopefully I have some time to draw some stuff for here. I've been loving looking at all of your art though, you guys are all amazing! :)

Just so really really quick sketches of my fursona TPL. She's always such a joy to draw.

And to those who are so kind to watch me-just an fyi, I won't be uploading as much this semester. I'm taking 18 credits, have a job AND an internship so I'm a bit overextended, but it's all good, I know how to manage my time well. But unfortunately, that means less time for TLKFAA art which is a bummer, but I'll still be around to look and comment on what you all are uploading. :)

Tama was worried. Ever since Scar took over the pridelands, she never got to see Nala although she did from time to time hear things about her. But that eventually stopped as well. What had happened to her dear friend?

Finally had a fully night just to work on some personal artwork. School has been busy for me, but more in the annoying busy-work way which is incredibly frustrating because I seriously have a handful of TLK and other drawings just waiting to be completed. Oh school....love and sometimes hate it at the same time (only when it gets the way of me making art!)

School just started up for me last week on Wednesday, so here is the first on-topic school doodle for the year.

I have a really tough but good schedule this semester, so unfortunately I'm not going to be quite as active as I was this summer when it comes to uploading art. But I'm not going to disappear and go away, I'm still going to be on and commenting on everyone's artwork still. I love seeing everyone's art! Plus, its a good break from the constant studying and working. ;)

I had a major sidewalk chalk drawing party with a few of my friends today. Simba is one of the many things I drew today (others included The Lochness Monster, a sheep with a pink afro licking an ice cream cone, and a cat). Sidewalk chalk drawing is SO much fun-it's something I always look forward to every summer.

I've been debating whether or not to upload this for the past week...

A boy at my sister's school committed suicide last week and although I didn't know him at all, hearing about people committing suicide always just breaks my heart. :( So I just started to draw in my huge sketchbook with charcoal and chalk(18inx24in) and this is one of the drawings that came out (idea coming from TLKoB and trying to visually depict what the sound of immense mourning looks like).

Sorry to be so heavy and tell this really sad story on what is supposed to be a fun fanart site but after drawing it, I've felt compelled to upload this since, at least to me, I feel like it's one of the more powerful pieces I have drawn.

"Oh, The Places You'll Go!"

I bought a new prismacolor 72-set o' markers yesterday and wanted to try them out and I also wanted to do another Seuss-inspired pic, so that's kind of how this drawing came to be. I've always loved "Oh, The Places You'll Go".

I also drew this on marker paper for the first time and eh, now I'm not really so much a fan of marker paper, the ink bled into the paper weird. :/ Lame.

Zira HATED the Pridelanders! The whole Pridelander pride!
Now, please don't ask why. No one knows the reason why.
It COULD be her head wasn't screwed on just right.
It COULD be, perhaps, the her paws were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that her heart was two sizes too small.

I entered the contest with another pic and then thought of this idea later, going literally inside an outlander as to why they way they are...and somehow I thought of the Grinch. I actually had to go to the library to get How the Grinch Stole Christmas book. Tried to integrate a Dr. Seuss style into this of course, it's a lot harder to do than it looks. Hope you guys like it!

"Haha, 'Tani, remember that time we scared Kovu into believing that all the birds and mice were spies for pridelanders?"
"Haha yes! And we told him that if he rolled around in dirt, then he would be camouflaged?"
"How could I forget-and he actually believed us! Kovu used to be such so gullible!"
"And it didn't help that we were such trouble-makers! Oh those were the days!"

The pridelanders and outlanders relaxing and sharing stories and laughter after the prides merged, I think both prides enjoyed living a typical lion life, even though Disney paints a different picture.

I think I'll enter this into the contest...I think it works.

Wow it's been like a month since I uploaded! X(

Anyways, I drew this while I was doing some life drawing at a coffee shop. There was a lull where there was no one to draw so I drew this guy instead and I actually really like how it turned out!

Hopefully I'll be uploading here more a bit, but it depends whether or not I get inspired to draw some TLK-related artwork. I can't just draw TLK and lions, there's just so many other wonderful things to draw out there and I like to keep my art as diverse as I can. I'll always be uploading here though, I'll never being able to escape drawing lions-I love them too much!
