Basically, it's an abstract concept of Simba traveling through the desert. The little lizard it so totally random. I wanted to tie in the lineart on Simba to the bg more, so that's why I drew in the clouds and the rocks. Also, I picked Simba because he's got that wonderful bright yellow color.
It was drawn the summer before I started college, so I at least wanted some funky TLK art in my repertoire.
