This was so fun to do! Kopa (this version is the son of Kiara and Kovu) is finally the king, and with his cousin Malaika (granddaughter of Scar and Nala through Vitani) as the leader of the Lion Guard, the Pridelands are finally at peace once more.

Drawing the Roar of the Elders is such a pain though

Thank you! I can't take all the credit, though, I used a billion gradients and brushes.

Wow! This is really good. I love everything about this pic Appearance wise, and theme wise. I mean it's perfect, Mufasa's blood and Scar's blood both defending the Pride Lands. Only this time, they do it together. Though personally I imagine, Malaika still calls Kopa "Little Cousin", and occasionally teases him, but she does it in fun.

All right, I sent you the money, but let me know if I sent the correct amount. Thanks for doing this, and it was a pleasure doing business with you.

You're welcome. I'm glad you had a good time working on it. Maybe next time I should do a pic of Afua and Wingu. Those two end up becoming the mates of Malaika and Kopa respectively after all.

I was actually planning to doodle them for fun, so you can save your money

I bet seeing Malaika reach this position has made Nala and Vitani proud. I mean both were more or less hurt by Scar, so seeing someone of his blood make amends of sorts is good.

Exactly! It helps that she bears very little resemblance to her grandfather, too, in terms of personality and appearance.

Noratcat In reply to RockyGems [2017-06-24 05:49:36 +0000 UTC]

True. By now she knows the full story of her grandfather and the circumstances of her mother's conception, so she is determined not to fail with the lion guard.

At least she has a big support system and tons of loving family members!

That's true. And just for reference, by this point, she knows Simba is her first cousin once removed, but she still views him as her grandpa.
