Description Kion watched over the Savannah, his eyes scanning over the vast grasslands of his bloodline. Stars twinkled overhead and he mused on the old teachings of his sister and parents before him, his eyes laying down on his sister and brother in law talking in the grass below. Pride Rock was still hot from the harsh sunlight, keeping a warm spot to rest, and he thanked the Great Kings for being able to slink away from the cold of the night. Not many Pridelanders dare come up to the small cave, for fear that they would be seen like his Great Uncle had been generations ago. Some lions would whisper and gossip as they watched him ascend up to the small nook, but he shrugged it off with a smile. They could gossip all they wanted, he had the view of the Pridelands all to himself.

Story courtesy of Kiire ! uvu Thanks dear!

I will be completely honest that I haven't picked up, much less drawn with, a pencil in over three years. I've gotten very accustomed to my tablet so sketching on paper again for the first time in forever was a really awkward experience. So please pardon the anatomical errors and shaky lines. But I liked the sketch enough to splash some color on it! I drew Kion mainly from memory so he's pretty off model to our AU design. I'm pretty pleased with the background though, The-Hare gave me a pretty sweet new brush that I really enjoy working with!

I really want to thank y'all that are sticking with me through my TLK artwork. I know it's kind of a weird change of pace after working on my world building and species for so long but that's been a project that I'm really trying to take my time on with the initial re-designs. But I will get my planetary stuff back into this gallery soon! TLK art has just been a lot easier and stress reducing for me lately. uvu

Kion's pretty good at not letting what other people say get to him. :> So he's pretty chill. Thank you!

Thank you so much! <3 We have a lot of fun with these theories so we'll definitely have a ton more to share later.

We're actually trying to figure that out. :> So if he has one and who she'd be we're not sure yet.

Aha! We thought about that one. XD So far we don't have Vitani paired up with anyone. That would be quite the age difference though!
We're actually trying to think of whether to recycle a design we dropped or make someone up. uvu Though it would be interesting if she was the daughter of one of the unique lionesses! I'll have to bring that up next time we brainstorm. Thank you!

Oooh, that'd be an idea! We're actually thinking about the super dark Sarabi clone at the ending of the first TLK to be related to her in some way. :> Though we're still poking around for any other lionesses that would fit better.

She's from the two scenes here:

pridelands.eu/hd/image8058.htm… (lioness on the right closest to the viewer)
pridelands.eu/hd/image8042.htm… (lioness in the back)

We figured out that she wasn't Sarabi since Sarabi is the one standing next to Simba and is significantly lighter than the one on the right side of the screen. And in the roaring scene she's in it again. o:. We really want to use her since she's pretty interesting and could help us tie loose ends with other dark lionesses that we don't have a family for. (ie. potentionally Kula and Chumvi)

That would be interesting! Though if we pair her descendant down the line to Kion we'd run into incest unfortunately. D: So we may not be able to make her one of the sisters.Β  Though having some of the other lionesses as her sisters would be a good idea!
