Description "It's always summer,
They'll never get cold,
They'll never get hungry,
They'll never get old and gray"
~the way

Decided to redo an old picture ( [link] ), and participate in the archive contest at TLKFAA. Two birds with one stone. :3

I did change some things though... because I thought the faded-gray bg added to the effect I wanted.

And yes, Simba doesn't really look much older here... even with my vain attempt at bags and crooked wiskers as well as a wicked mane. I think I was too worried about him not looking like Simba so I didn't take it far enough.... I'll probably play around with this idea some more. I like the idea of them as geezers.

It's problematic because lions don't really get to look old... most of them die before getting old When dogs age they usually get white fur around their muzzle, sometimes they get little tumors/moles... I wonder if Lions do the same?

Simba doesn't have to look geezer-ish. You've captured Simba aging very nicely. Maybe have some of his mane fall out... ^^

Geezerly lions
ya know, they don't look half as bad as real geezerly lions do... haven't i shown you pictures of Samantha at the Honolulu zoo, and how geezerly she was? lmao


nah, this still looks Amazing, as usual. i just know that i personally would have gone for the weird geezerly appearance..but thats because i can't make tlk characters Look like TLK characters to begin with anyway.... *rambles* i better go to the zoo now and feed some bears....and stop typing here...but i dontw ant too..cause its cold outside..it's at least warmed up to 9....been in the negatives most mornings o-o *ramble ramble ramble ramble*

MAKE MORE AWESOME ARTS NOW

LOL, I really really really REALLY want to draw some Simba looking geezerly and weird.... I was a little worried that I might distort him so he was unrecognizable. I guess he's just at his prime in this picture and I'll do the ones where he is REALLY old later.

I mean, I didn't even pull the gray mane card! WTF!

I may have to use your picture as a reference. Hehehe.

I should get off of here and finish getting ready for work... Or I'll be late. XD

o.O
Simba got a darker mane as a sign on age! 8) likey!
Maybe it is his color what makes him look young still, all shiny and new… maybe a duller colour would age him? first thing I noticed was the unkept chin. The chin works, I say, that's what made me go "is he oold?"
I love Nala's expression. She's so calm and so proud like she is happy with what life has given her… and what she has done with it. A happy old girl *hugs*

daanzi In reply to sindos [2011-02-10 14:01:42 +0000 UTC]

YES, I agree... I will have to try the duller colors next time... I think that would really help make him appear older.

Thank you very much!! <3

daanzi In reply to AngieWilson [2011-02-10 05:44:49 +0000 UTC]

LOL yeah, thats more than likely true. I always tend to give my lions super long necks. XD Probably doesn't help that I draw a lot of giraffes lately, or that I sketched this directly over the original so kinda got some of the original proportions from the old picture.

Thank you! <3<3<3

AngieWilson In reply to daanzi [2011-02-11 06:27:16 +0000 UTC]

Yay I'm glad you're doing good! ^_^ I've been pretty busy myself.

Between the change of full-time work to part-time, worrying bout payments for my new house(1 yr anniversary this past Jan), upstairs renters cause my house is a duplex, my car being 14yrs old and needing lots of stuff to fix on it.. and researching the possibilities of a new car and if I can afford the $$ for one or not...

um.. My parents buying most of the needed equipment for a future hot glass studio and them owning the house next door to me for it.. X3 my home having frontage on a major highway which is great for the future business.... lol my Lil' Nephew turning 4yrs old this April.. my new BF and all...

It's been a whirlwind of changes from moving out of my parents home to my own to now. It's been educational too ^_^ I hadn't realized how much $ & wrk it was/is to own property and all that comes w/ it. 8) Granted I knew what it's like to own and insure my car... but until now, not for a home of my own.

I can't imagine what it's been like for my mom n' dad money wise esp. with my big bro and me, schooling and all. *shudders* must've been nerve raking for sure at least!s

Anyways, in a nutshell, it's been a pretty crazy from last Jan '10 to now. But I'm gettin through it all and life's been treating me good too!
