Description Because he needed one!
My version of him is based onto the image of the cub at the end of TLK, i like to think it's Kopa and not Fluffy or Kiara or whatever. And i took the colours right from the scene, darkened them just a bit (since we know that cubs' pelt darkens with age), gave him green eyes from Nala or Scar and his mane colour is also from Nala and yeah! Here he is
Hope you like him.
And sorry for not uploading speedpaints, they will be in the gallery very very soon today, i couldn't find time to upload anything on Saturday and Sunday so yeah.

Kopa got his blue eyes from nala. Everyone draws it different ways. We believe kopa is the only child out of all 3 of them to get nala's genes and have brown fur and blue eyes.

They're just different versions of Kopa. My Kopa, for example, has green eyes's like Nala's, creamy-gold fur and a red mane.

ssjnaomi [2015-10-18 15:50:46 +0000 UTC]

He looks great! I like his eye color. Its my headcanon that Kopa has blue/green or green eyes because of Nala's and Scar's eyes. He has the genes on both sides of his family after all.

Actually, you don't know that at the end of The Lion King One, You don't find that out till Lion King Two. If you look at the cub from the ending of 1 and compare him to the cub at the beginning of 2 there is a distinct color difference. So due to these differences many say that the first one was Kopa, and the second one Kiara.

I know this was posted a little while ago. But at the end of TLK, it is Fluffy who is put up xD
Kopa got replaced, the end.

It's sad since I would have loved to see him :/

Nala1994 In reply to DarkSideOfFaith [2015-08-15 16:50:40 +0000 UTC]

Fluffy was just a reference to the cub, but not the actual name

EmilyJayOwens In reply to DarkSideOfFaith [2013-07-05 18:51:40 +0000 UTC]

I know, but i just like to think it's Kopa and not some random Fluffy
And yeeeah i'd love to see him too! Like that would be amazing.

Very much know old comment is old, but I think it still stands, right? ;u;

Right. Soo. You probably know this, but Kopa wasn't made by Disney, and was just accepted with the books for the money and heck of it. This character was never 'replaced'. He was not even there in the first place, right? Fluffy is Fluffy because they didn't even think of a second movie to go with TLK. So, I don't take Mohatu, Taka, Tojo and all that as something really related to the actual story - ifyouknowwhatImean - and stuff. 

But yeah, I really would prefer if TLK2 was about a male cub - not necessarily 'Kopa', but instead of flirty Kiara with all that Romeo and Juliet gibberish - discovering the lands, interacting with animals, making friends and such. Or at least a prequel. That'd be nice too.

Anyway, I've been thinking of 'remaking' the sequence myself.

wolfworld [2013-03-24 14:12:56 +0000 UTC]

PERFECT I LOVE THIS SO DAMN MUCH!!! Hey have you thought about doing a comic story about Kopa? I know lots of people said he didnt exist or he was killed or was supposedly killed but survived, but your lion king style is so good and your characters and characters that have you considered doing one? It would be awesome but obviously I would understand if you didnt want too, its alot of work This is fabulous!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EmilyJayOwens In reply to wolfworld [2013-03-25 09:04:07 +0000 UTC]

I have, but i decided against it There is at least one comic about him already, and also that would take a lot of time. I may make a story about him and tell it with pictures, it would be easier and quicker than a comic ^^
And thanks!

wolfworld In reply to EmilyJayOwens [2013-03-25 10:06:30 +0000 UTC]

Ahh thats fair enough I can understand that, well that would be awesome too! But again it's all about time isnt i Well good luck with whatever comes bext!!!! Your welcome, ive really fallen for Kopa, he's so darn cute!!! I also love how you've given him his mothers eyes, i always though Kiara was a bit too much like her dad if you know what i mean, which is fine but i thought at least given her pale fur like Nala or blue eyes? But no, Oh well xD Is it just me or does Kiara remind you of Sarabi slightly in looks??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EmilyJayOwens In reply to wolfworld [2013-03-25 14:56:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes, she does, and i've heard she was supposed to (or at least that was the idea) look like Sarabi a bit. But they could do a much better job on her
Actually i love to draw Kiara with colorless paws, so she looks more like Nala ^_^
