Hello there!

I would really like to see that you stay here as an artist, especially since alot of peoel leave after thier first week.

Maybe you should check ot the sktcher or adoptables [trading tree] if you haven't already? This place can be amusing, especially if you make friends.

You can always ask me if you need help with somthing!

Nice art here! Keep it up!

By the way, can I request a picture from you?

Edit: can you draw me a meerkat? You can name him/her and choose the colors. You can choose if it's fat or skinny.

Artist reply:

Sure go ahead ^_^

Just wanted to let you know. For the Secret Santa, you might want to edit your post and just post the link to the picture incase the person who gets you has dial up, it is better they just have to wait for one picture to load then your gallery to load.

Artist reply:

Sorry, I didn't realise. I've changed it.

I came by to ask if you wanted to do a canon art trade, but it looks like you're full so maybe later. :) I really like your canon art, especially your Timon and Pumbaa pictures. You are very good at on-model drawing and getting how to animate bodies in all sorts of poses! Great work so far and I look forward to much more! ;)

Artist reply:

Thanks so much, I love your artwork to and would love to trade with you, but like you said I'm full at the moment; but I wil comment you first when I'm ready to take more :)

Hello! Your art is awesome! Your spaces are probably filled, but if they're not, could I request a pic of Pumbaa and Timon sleeping, maybe wit Timon sleeping on Pumbaa's belly or something? If all the spaces are full, that's fine =D

Keep up the great art!

26. brinazarski (e-mail) (profile)
Um...sorry dudette, but I don't think you can draw on Photoshop Elements! ^.^; I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Elements is only another Picassa.

EDIT: About the Sketcher thing.

First, do you have the tablet's driver software downloaded? That could be a problem.

Second, sometimes the pressure on the tablet turns itself off. Try testing if it's working in another program.

If it is, this is what you do:

Instead of using your mouse to go on Sketcher, use your tablet. When you're on the Java screen, keep tapping hard on the tablet with your tablet pen like crazy. If you're lucky, it should work.

btw, in your Artist's Comment, you mentioned you don't have auto-approval. You've drawn more then 50 pics, so just ask Brian if you can have it.

Artist reply:

You can draw on it, but it's very pixelated, just like MSpaint really...I'll figure out something some day! Thanks!

EDIT: Hi, thanks. Yeah I have the Wacom driver installed for my tablet, and pen pressure always works for me in Photoshop Elements. I'll try tapping like crazy next time in sketcher, lol ty.

Ah I didn't realise I qualified to ask for AA, tanks extra for that ^_^

29. Shembre (e-mail) (profile)
Hi! I really like your art! I saw your bulletin and I was wondering if you wanted to fill a request for me. Could you draw me Simba and Nala together? And could they possible be watching Kopa or Kiara, please? I don't have any preference to which cub, so it's your choice. Thanks in advanced. Also, this can be a trade if you want.

Artist reply:

I can do that for you of course :) It's funny, as it's pretty much what I asked Prizzle to draw for me XD

I wouldn't mind a trade, if you're up for it; your art is really wonderful. Let mne know if you have the time :)

Hey, I saw your bulletin and I decided to ask you if you wanted to do a trade.I can draw any of your chars, but not in canon cuz I don't know how to do canon.If you wanted to do a trade, here is a reference pic of my fursona. You can draw her in any pose you want.
Picture13.jpg

Thank you!! =D

Edit: Ok!!^^ I'd be happy to draw a meerkat and lioness you!! I like a challenge every now and then^^

Artist reply:

I was really only looking to do LK characters (I like keeping things canon :D), but sure, what the heck I'll do that for you!

If you couyld do the same for my fursona , that would be great. Ideally, I'd love someone to draw meerkat me and lioness me together, but if you're not comfortable with drawing meerkats (I know alot of people aren't) then Leora on her own is fine :)

Thanks to you too 8D

Hey there! You've got such beautiful art -- I just had to leave a comment! You're definately going onto my faves list as well, so I'll be looking forward to your future uploads!

I love looking at your canon art! You've done so well with their designs and colors -- not very many people can draw canon chars so precisely.

Anyways, hope to see more art soon! Take care!

~Sunny

Artist reply:

Canon art is why I'm here ^^
Thank you very much :D

36. Bubba_Smith (profile)
WOW!! is all I can say. You have amazing art and a great style.
I saw your bullitin, and that you are taking art trades? Could you do one with me?


Edit2~Ok, no problem^^ Take your time^^ I still <3 you! c:
If you decide to, could you draw my character Kid running, right after he got a cut on his face.( you can put blood) He is a young adolesent at this time. I can do whatver you want me too. I hope I can do this with you. You can find him in my char section, char folder, and my 100 pic challange folder. Thanx! :D


Edit~ Why, hello there^^ I have seen that you are having a big art block. If you need help breaking it, would you like to do a trade?? If you do, could you draw my male fursona Bubba with Blaze and Captain?? And can they be having a bad arguement with Bubba and Blaze crying, and Captain looking a little guilty? If you don't want to, I understand^^ You rox Lauralu!! *hugglesglomps*

Artist reply:

Sure, I'll do my best :) (that's two bloody pics now lol) I need to thik about what I want other people to draw for me (I have no ideas) so I'll get back to you. *Puts Bubba on list of trades*

EDIT: Hey bubs :) I'm a bit burned out on doing any art at the moment. I'd love to do that piccie for you but you'll have to give me a couple of weeks (i'm off on hols on Sunday, so when I come back next week, hopefully I'll ahve recovered :))

Don't worry though, it will be done :D

37. Amase (e-mail) (profile)
Hey Lauralu! I guess I'll just start this off by giving you a big THANK YOU for sticking true to the CANON nature of this archive! Every time I come across a gallery that is predominantly canon I get so happy! But yours is simply wonderful! You're very talented! If you aren't too busy, would you possibly like to do a semi-canon trade with me? A lot of my characters have relations to the canon characters so I think that counts :p If you're too busy don't worry about it, I just came back from a long hiatus and looking to get some creative juices flowing!

Be Well,
Amase

EDIT: I'm glad to know that there are STILL proud canon artists out there!! Anyway don't stress about the trade, whenever you are able to is fine with me! :]

Artist reply:

well, on a Lion King Fanart site, I believe things SHOULD be mostly canon :) I think it's a little strange how there are so many galleries that include very little canon, and quite a surprising number have plenty of off- topic pics >;( Hence, nearly all the artists on my watch list draw canon mostly :)

Thanks you so much for that lovely compliment Amase :)it means so much.

I'd love to do a trade with you, but I just want to get a picture for Bubba strted and completed this weekend, so I will send you a comment/email early next week regarding our trade. Your creative juices may be flowing, but mine are somewhat stuck at the moment LOL

Hi there!

Congrats on so many fans! ^.^

Your work is awesome! I see you have a "Yes" on requests/commissions. I'm a commission-a-holic. Are you currently accepting? If so, can you please please please send me your rates? :-D

My email is: nuki@solacerp.net

Thanks! *hugs* Beautiful work!


ADDED TO COMMENT: I e-mailed you about a request today. :)

Artist reply:

I've never done a commission before so I don't have any rates (i have that yes for requsts/trades mostly), also I wouldn't have a clue how to set up a payment system-thingie lol.

If you want me to do something, I can do it as a request :)

I haven't commented here before? Shame on me ;)

Anyway, Lauralu, I love your art. So much great canon; on model characters, pretty settings, interesting ideas. I enjoy browsing through your gallery on a regular basis! :)

Also, I came to ask; would you be interested in a canon trade? I got the urge to do one, so I headed straight for your page :P

Edit: For me, I'd like just another Simba/Nala CYFTLT sort of picture. Hope that's okay for you! :) Any pose/setting :D How about you?

Artist reply:

Aw, well thanks Tamu, that means alot to me, and of course I would be interested in a canon trade; what/who would you like?

EDIT: No probs :D For me, kiara and kovu in crazy Upendi setting XD

Anyway, I'm really late, but thanks for the comment you sent me a few months back. It made my day, it was cool to hear you like my art :) You've got such beautiful art yourself. I enjoy looking at your art, you draw all the TLK characters so pretty. Hope you'll keep uploading a lot more here!

Artist reply:

^^ Well, now you've just made my day :D

I hope to keep uploading here as this site got me back into drawing after a looong hiatus, and then helped me learn new techniques from wonderful artists (like you!). So I owe this site so much :)

Hi Lauralu. I think you art is amazing. You make really great pics.

I was wondering if you are interested in doing a canon trade. If so, leave a comment on my page as to what you want. If you do want to trade, I need to know today or tomorrow so I can finish, because I will be away for about a month starting Tuesday. I will be returning on August 10.
Just let me know.
Keep up the great work!

EDIT: I finished the Timon pic for you. I am just waiting on Brian to approve it.
EDIT: Finally! I knew you'd get it soon! Congratulations!

Artist reply:

Thank you :) Ive commented on your page

EDIT: oooh already? :D I'm starting on yours today, I just had Tamu's trade to finish first

EDIT AGaIN: lol I didn't think it would be soon or ever ^_^ Thanks!

How do you get the smooth outline on your pictures, I'm sorry that the last question didn't make sense, I'm not that great at questions.

Artist reply:

No problem, but I don't know what you mean?

EDIT: Ah, I see! No you're fine :)

Okay, so you will need a program like Photoshop (or photoshop element), Corel Painter, Open canvas, Paint Tool Sai or Paint.Net to give you tools/paintbrushes that are not pixelated. From there, it's all about patience, a steady hand and zooming in.

I see you have some pictures done in MSPaint, but many people love pixel art and with practice you can create amazing things in it :)

If you are looking for smooth lines on a free program, you should try downloading http://www.paint.net/ and give it a go.

Also you could try out sketcher on this site too :)

Don't be afraid to ask me any more questions :)

I really like your work, you have a nice gallery. I like how, even when you draw pridelanders, they still have some complexity to them. Your drawings just look more interesting than the ones in the movie. So, just thought I'd say I like your stuff. By the way, what that one person meant about the texture on your drawings is that, if I'm not mistaken, some of your drawings you lower the quality slightly so they become a little pixelated. Sorry if I'm wrong.

EDIT: No problem. Keep up the fantastic art, ok?

Artist reply:

Thank you very much :D That's a really lovely compliment, but the truth is, I just can't manage to draw them exactly as the movie intended XD

Yeah the bad quality drawings are from resizing in MSpaint (ugh!), but thatnks to 'Garder I managed to figure out how to resize them within photoshop (lol, so much to learn!), but they just wanted to know how to draw smooth lines ;3

Hi! Of course I love your art. It's all sooo beautiful. BTW congrats on AOTM! No surprise there. ;)

I was wondering if we could do a trade? Let me know if you can or not. Thank you!

Edit: Sweet! I can wait. :3

Edit 2: Hi! I wondered when you would like to start that trade, and what you'd like to do. I'm partial to canon trades, or redraw, but Im up for anything. Thanks. :)

Artist reply:

Haha it was a surprise to me XD! and thank you :)

After the 24th of Jan I shall be free for a trade; I would absolutely love to do a trade with you!

EDIT: Sorry Ionly saw your edit now (my email seems to not want to send them through >:[) a redraw would be cool, I've never done one of those trades before :D

yuor art is AWESOME! aare you open for trades? if so, would you do one with me? =3 if not, that fine! i just loe your art, so i thought i'd ask! :D

-tamberella

edit: oh, thats ok! your art ROCKS. you are 100% awesomeness.

edit again: sorry you didnt win the contest. =/ i voted for you. i think you deserved to win. oh well.

by the way, a question... what do you use for your drawings? photoshop? =3 just wondering.

Artist reply:

Lol, thank you so much TamberElla :D No I haven't been AoTM yet, probably never will be ^_^

I'm not open for trades at the moment as I have some exams coming up and a couple of requests to finish, but I will let you know when my time is free again :D

EDIT: The colours contest? Naw I didn't expect to win or anything, there were far better entries there ^_^ I use Photoshop elements 5 or Paint Tool Sai, usually a mix of the two programs. I've used paint.net for a couple of drawings too

Hi, I'm Cubbie. I really love your art, how it's mostly Lion King characters and stuff? I find that awesome as most artists flood their gallerys with Original Characters and off topic stuff, you don't.

Heh, enough rambling, D'you want to be friends? I'd love to be friends with someone as amazing as you! And do you want to do a trade...? Canon 'cause that's basicly all I'm going to draw like you!

Basically, you're my insperation for being here.

EDIT: Cool! So, will you draw Sarafina and Nala on a hunt? And what'd you like me to do?

Artist reply:

Thank you Cubbie for that lovely comment :) I'm glad to hear that ou will be a primarily canon artist on this site, I think we need more new artists willing to draw that way :)

I'm honoured to be you inpiration for being here, but I'm not the only canon-oriented artist on this site. There are plenty of artists here who have years of experience and work on me, so make sure you take a looksee at them too, they were my inspiration (and still are).

I would really like to do a trade, what do you want to do for it?

EDIT: Sure :) Can you draw little Simba annoying Scar please? :D

Hey wat sup Lauralu. I'm kinda new here and even before I joined TLKFAA I looked at some of ur pics and I think you are an amazing artist!! How do you get ur drawings to be a solid color and how do you shade so good? Stop by and check out mah gallery sometime. I have pics pending so hopefully they'll b up soon.I faved some of ur pics because I think they're sooooo awesome. Maybe we should do a collab together. We could do chibis!! I LOVE CHIBIS!!!!!!!! I did one of ur chibi too, it has such a ccute design!!!! I hope to hear from you soon...*faves* I especially LOVE the pics of Timon you do because I love him to pieces!!! Pls do more? Thanks...~Timon's Soulmate~

why are all the best artists leaving do you know? plz teel me if you do know.
edit- riko and red left. i tried to leave them a comment to beg them to stay but thier comments were removed.

Artist reply:

I'm afraid I don't know, usually the reasons an artist leaves this site are their own, whether they be personal and/or professional. It might be better to ask them instead of me.

I won't be leaving anytime soon anyway (not that I'm "one of the best" though!) I juat haven't had a lot of time for art lately.
