"As time progressed, Kiara filled out and became more slender. She gained a little more sense with her adulthood, as well as some decent hunting skills. She'd never be the skilled huntress her mother was, but she was good enough. Her love for Kovu did not waver, and she was ready to become a strong Queen to the Pridelands."
ahhhh I am so happy. I finally took the time to figure out how to make brushes in GIMP. And now I don't have to draw every freaking grass blade! YAY. XD I also used lots of references for the clouds, so pretty proud with them. Honestly I like the background more than the actual lion, which is unusual. But Kiara's difficult to draw, and it looks nothing like her--though I was making her a bit older looking anyway.
