Nala has blonde fur and blue/green eyes, what other race has those features? If you see Savu's humanized Scar, Sarabi, Kosa, and Azra, they're all a bit darker in skin. They're lions not humans. What they would look like as a human isn't pre-determined. People draw them as wolves, dogs, I've seen TLK characters drawn as horses! None of those things are African.

Why? Because it's in Africa? That's racist. You know that a lot of Africa has Caucasians, right? The British colonized it years and years ago. There was even segregation at one point.
That's not even going off fur colour. That's just common sense. Not all the lions humanized would be the same colour. Some would probably even be Egyptian looking, based on the caramel colour of the fur.

Oh of course, a story set in southern to central Africa is obviously going to have white royals, how silly to think otherwise! It's not enough that black characters don't get the privillege of exiting in fairy tale worlds like the white princesses do, now even when they're in Africa it's "racist" to say that they're supposed to be a certain race(that isn't white). And how cute, the person who is basically denying the characters are coded black -something not even Disney does- is crying racsim?

Her fur is blonde and she has blue/green eyes, how would she not be white as a human, what other race has those features? And why "ew"?

She's AFRICAN. And ew because I'm sick of all these white draws of black characters.

She isn't black. She's a lion. If you wanna get technical they have a pink-ish skin, similar to a white person.

I wonder why the Disney Musical uses an all-black cast? I wonder why young Nala was voiced by a black girl? Could it be that you're racist?

People can show nala's as any race they want, even asianΒ Β Disney didn't say she is white or black or any human race. Why? Because nala's is an ANIMAL.

You said it. I don't understand why people get upset all over a piece of art. Did they even read the Savu's journal?
π: 0 β©: 1
I know, right? I follow their fur/mane/hair and eye color, and which raze that would most likely belong to.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. I wish people would enjoy the art and quit making such statements.

Seriously! I've been meaning to do a picture of humanized Nala like this style and one where she's African. Then title it "Which one makes you think of Nala?"

I'm working on it! hehe.

What do you mean by "Nala is not white!"?
π: 0 β©: 1
She's a lion in AFRICA, she should be AFRICAN as a human.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well Nala as a character in the movie is pale. An plus savu already said in one of his journals that the human versions are based on the characters, so for some characters it is hard to make it look like an African. (Like nala)

Nala is a lion.

I love this picture so much!! I think it's perfect with the shape of her eyes very similar to Nala, the lioness, and the coloring is very beautifully done.

All I can say is that its your interpretation, and people should relax. You're taking a different interpretation from the story- imagining purely as humans, taking reference to the lions purely from facial structures and general color schemes. If people think that's racist... it's sorta looking for a problem that isn't there. I believe in one of the comments you mentioned more of a medieval time period you're thinking for these as? I get the reference, similar to Hamlet, which Lion King takes many references from. And well, frankly, Hamlet was not filled with African Americans. If you were doing a literal humanization and taking into account Africa and more so the lions physical background that'd be a whole other argument. But yeah. Neat stuff.

Since Lions are African, i think she'd be black. BUT HEY it's your drawing.

pfft a quote from Mean Girls comes to mind XD "So you're from Africa. Why are you white?"

also i love how she has a cat like face! very fitting and great work

Despite all the trolling you're getting, I'd like to say that I think given her LIONESS COLOUR SCHEME (gold, cream, yellow)
You have done this beautifully! I love it!

Everyone please, get over the fact that she's white. For God's sake, it's the artist's impression of nala as human, not yours. And in the movie Nala is a lighter coloured lion anyway, so white fits her. GET OVER IT AND STOP BITCHING ALREADY.
Savu you have done a wonderful job humanising these characters. You don't have to justify your choices in any way either, and everyone should respect your choice as the artist.

The movie is set in Africa, based on an African tale, heavily imbued with African themes, and yet they're all white. Great logic you got there. After all, you can never have too many white people, can you? If it's not about white people, then make it about white people, right? It always has to be about white people, even when it has nothing to do with white people.

It is actually based off of Hamlet if you want to get picky.

Not all of the humanized TLK characters are white.

What the fuck does this have ANYTHING to do with my comment? I'm not saying anything racist, you instantly assumed I did, and took it the wrong way. it is THE ARTIST'S FUCKING CHOICE. Not yours.
Don't like it? FUCK OFF

Sorry if you feel offended, but Nala just...isn't white. :/

Oh shut up! To be honeest. I too would see Nala as being white, given her voice, & her light color as a lioness! I like this pic it's a great job at humanizing Nala. I usually don't care for humanized animal chars, but, they are growing on me. I opened the pic, without reading the title, & said *gasp* It's NALA! Just by looking at the face, & her color. If she'd been black, I'd've thought who's this? *reads the title* Oh it's Nala, it doesn't look like her, the color's all wrong. So yeah white, or light skinned suits her. End of story!

Sorry, but this is how Disney sees human Simba and human Nala:
[link]
As you can see, they are not white, so sorry to disappoint. :/

And everyone is forced to make it exactly like Disney's version. NOT.
Those are painted humans. Nothing more, nothing less. Get over it.

Maybe you should get over the fact that they are not white. It is an African story told by African people. I am pretty sure that when African people tell African stories they are telling stories about Africans. Not white people. Even Disney knows it's not a story about white people, just look at that photo. I'm sorry if it sounds mean or offensive but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but where of earth is TLK "told by African people"? It's a story told by NO ONE since it's a movie wihtout a Voice-over. If you still want to believe that it was told by anyone, it would bw the team that produced it, consisting mostly of white poeple.
If I wanted to, I could make my version of the lions humanized blue, or green or rainbow-coloured if I felt like. What YOU think about that doesn't mean ANYTHING. It's the artist interpretion that matters, and the can do it JUST THE WAY they want, without you or anyone acting like it's wrong.
Your lack of imagination disturbs me.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but where of earth is TLK "told by African people"?"
In Africa, of course.

So you're saying, that there's a bunch on African people in Africa, who were sittitng there, telling the story about a lion kingdom?
Get real. It's not a folklore if you think that. It's a story made up by a bunch of white people.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know the story. The real story, the one modified by Disney. Deny if you wish, but its origin is African, east African, to be exact...
π: 0 β©: 1
And how about HAMLET, which is the story it follows a bit too much? Are you saying Hamlet is African too? Get real, and get away from here since you do nothing but complain because your imagination doesn't reach further than your nose. Don't you ever think for yourself, or do you let everone else do all the thinking for you?

Hamlet is of European origin. TLK tale and Hamlet may have some story element similarities, but they are of different origins and are not the same.
