My Lion King Forum

Finally a more recent picture of mine again. My RL friend, Mercury and I spent days creating this character. I know that may not look like it cause it is a simple design, but we went though every little detail separately. I gave her a bunch of pictures of mane styles and she picked the mane. The different chins, different body types, some different markings, etc. And then the colour idea. Many chats on skype while I played around with different colours in photoshop to get his look just right. This is the final character she designed. She writes rather then draws so he is really her character, but we also share him. But I will say she designed him. I can't take credit for his design, I just draw him for her.

beauteful lion !!!!

I can't help but to stare back at him uvu

LOL I know the feeling. After I was done I sat and looked at it the rest of our chat. That isn't normal. Normally I don't want to look at it for a few hours. He turned out well.

He is. I am glad she got me to draw him for her.

Those eyes are so mesmerizing uvu

oh ^^

How have I not seen this before?
I need to get kicked.
Those eyes really pierce into the soul.

Thank you. His eyes are amazing. Actually Mercury wanted his eyes to be perfect so we used skype so she could tell me EXACTLY how his eyes should be. They turned out amazing, I just love this character. The last one she designed for me. I am still trying to get a hold of her family and see if I can get any of the documents of stories and background she wrote for him. I have very little myself she was in the middle of writing his story for me so I would love to see what she had so far.
