Description
Five years ago today, I posted my first picture on "The Lion King Fan-Art Archive." I know I still have a long way to go, but I've also made it a fair distance.When I was contemplating what to draw to celebrate, suggested I do something with wood, the traditional 5 year gift. And so here stands Simba at the tree that changed his life. And whlie not the same, that archive changed my life in so many ways. I thank it.
Simba belongs to Disney.

*in an understanding voice*: OHHHHHHHH!!!!! I GET IT!!!! It's been 5 years since Mufasa (10 ft. chin, as I call him) died, and Simba has gone back to the place where it all started.

*L* actually the five years was only to indicate the 5 years I had been at the archive at the time. But that's a really nice though/addition.
Thanks for commenting. And, yes, Mufasa had a crazy powerful jaw.

I love the blend of colors that you used in the background and on the ground ^.^. What media did you use?
This is a very vibrant and emotional piece. I love TLK!! Your lines are simplistic, but I like it because it doesn't take away from the emotion on Simba's face.
Sorry I haven't commented on your stuff in a while

Great picture hun. You did a wonderful job with the shading, setting and anatomy. But the best thing about this picture is the strong emotion in it; you can feel it just by looking at it. Awesome picture!
And congrads on five years!

Congratulations again on reaching five years, that's just so awesome! Beautiful pic, and nice use of the "wood" aspect. I really like Simba and the canyon walls in particular! :claps:

Congradulations, Cassie! There isn't much to be said that hasn't been, but I'll say it too. There is a definitive weight to Simba's expression and I, for one, definitely "get" the point of this piece and get that sense of looking back at the past as it is in the present (deeeeeeep). The textures and colors are beautiful, vivid, and definitely reminiscent of the movie itself. w00t! Can't wait to see what comes next!

This is beautiful, I love the expression on Simba's face, but am also very impressed with just the rocks and the ravine walls. Super awsome, and congrats on the five year anniversary, its nice to stick to anything for that long.

Nalana In reply to zebbiekjc [2006-07-21 02:13:38 +0000 UTC]
when I started there I only drew lions. Then I branched out. So, I should say the same thing. No one's perfect when they begin. If you stalk TLKFAA you know that there are tones far better t han me who had only been there half the time I have or less. But if you keep at it ou get better and better. And why not try to expand your own horrizons in an uberfriendly community! ^.^
Oh boy. I'd make a good promoter, eh? *L*
