Description
Drawn 7-28-05Ain't that a bit of a sad title? XD It's supposed to be seeing is how this pretty scene took place well over 500 years ago.
Anyways, here we have my unnaturally-colored lions. Thanks to April for helping me pick their colors XD
The big guy is Cobar and the lovely lady is Sumalee. I've gotta big nifty story plotting for these two.
By the way, congrats to to being the first one to ever draw and color Cobar in what she viewed him as. has second place for her drawing of him, and then with her headshot of him XD I had the worst time thinking up how he should look. I finally drew him up XD Huzzah. April, Cari, and Joanie all like his design. Especially you, April XD
April was the first to draw Sumalee sortakinda XD She drew a headshot of how her hair could look. I liked it so here it is, sorta XD I'll have another drawing of her soon enough. Cari's poking me for a certain one << >> Also, April requested Sumalee's dress be of simple design with giraffe prints, so here ya go XD
Anyways, bit of info for these two:
Name: Cobar
Name Origin: Aboriginal
Name Meaning: Burnt Earth
Age: In this drawing he's about 24 *He's vamped at age 35*
Height: 6'5 *toldya he's a big guy*
Species: Lion gone vampire
Nationality/Culture: N/A *aka I dunno yet XD*
Occupation:
Back then-N/A *again I don't know*
Nowadays-N/A *you get the idea now that if it's N/A I ain't thought it up yet XD*
Family: Sumalee (wife, now deceased) Aden (son, who he made into a vampire)
Strengths: Typical vampire powers with something special I added on: October is when a vampire is strongest because that's considered the 'dark' month when evil is at it's peak. Patience (sometimes) Not easily angered (unless you push the right buttons) Intelligent (500 years of being around has made him a fairly smart SoB) He's also rather manipulative
Weakesses: Typical vampire weaknesses with something special I added on: December is when a vampire is weakest because that's the 'holy' and 'good' month with the religous holidays when good is at it's peak. He's rather arrogant when he's got the upper hand (or at least thinks he does)
Likes: Aden (obviously), having the upper hand, being right, reading, and October for obvious reasons
Dislikes: When his charges (the people he's vamped) are disobedient, not having the upper hand in a situation, Duvessa (his master...or should I say mistress? XD) and December for obvious reasons
Personality: When he was mortal he was actually a swell guy XD He was kind, caring, loyal, and very loving to those he cared for and was an all around nice guy to people. Nowadays he's an asshole who thinks mortals are pathetic, worthless, ignorant weaklings. He'll do pretty much whatever it takes to get his way and enjoys playing with peoples' heads.
Now for his lovely wife
Name: Sumalee
Name Origin: Thai
Name Meaning: Beautiful Flower
Age: Here's she's around 22 *but dies at 33*
Height: 5'0 *she's a wee thing XD*
Species: Lioness
Nationality/Culture: NA *prolly the same as Cobar*
Occupation: N/A *she prolly didn't have one, though*
Family: Cobar (husband) Aden (son)
Strengths: Smart, agile, can reason well, very understanding and XD she was a pretty good cook
Weaknesses: Lacking physical strength, her weak heart
Likes: Sunsets, flowers, kids, spending time with loved ones
Dislikes: Really just her heart condition. She doesn't really hate anyone or anything.
Personality: Very outgoing even if her heart says otherwise. She was a kind, gentle, and loving to everyone. Never really became upset or angry with anyone.
Their backgrounds I'm writing on one paragraph because I don't have an individual past for Sumalee yet.
Bascially a long time ago Cobar and Sumalee we're a lovely happy couple. Sumalee was never a very strong person in body, but make up for it in spirit. Cobar didn't care that she wasn't the most healthy person around. They met and married a couple years later. They tried to have kids, but after so long didn't believe they'd have any. Then eleven years later Sumalee gets pregnant and all is well. One night Cobar is out and about and meets up with Duvessa and some way or another she vamps him. I haven't gotten that worked out yet.
A few months later Sumalee gives birth to their son, Aden. Alas the effort was too much on her weak heart and she slowly slipped away. Cobar believed she had fallen asleep. Alas that wasn't the case. He still blames himself to this day for her death. Had he known she was dying he woulda vamped her. But, I doubt she woulda wanted to be a vampire so it's all good, right? *SHOT* So now it's just him and Aden. Unfortunately, Aden inherited Sumalee's sickness only worse. At age nine he was going to be taken away from Cobar as well. Not wishing for that to happen Cobar vamped Aden to save him from death...in a matter of speaking.
And there you have it folks. The basics of these two.
No matter what anyone says or does April is Cobar's #1 fangirl XD Joanie's also become rather fond of him. Cari's a bigger fan of Sumalee, I believe XD
As for the drawing itself I love how it came out XD
I think my favorite part outta this is Sumalee's eye o-0 I have no freakin idea why, I just find myself look at that more then the rest of the drawing. I also like how her pose came out, her left leg is a little wonkey, but oh well. I had to practually draw her around Cobar so that wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but I did it! *FLAIL* And as much as I hated the thought of making her white I did anyways, it's just not enjoyable to highlight in my opinion because you really CAN'T highlight it. I was thinking of making her white and then April's suggestion make it offical XD. She kinda reminds me of a unicorn with her coloring. Oh well, she turned out better'n I hoped and she's just so pretteh XD Cobar came out better then expected as well, considering all my failed attempts to draw him because of that damned mane XD I looked up how other people drew anthro lions and made up my own little design. He has neon green in his chest poof << *snicker*
Sumalee's shoes are inspired by April's request to see her in sandels and this really awesome design I found on the internet XD They're some awesome looking "Earth Shoes" that I wanna get someday because they look so cool
And, finally, the background. Aren't y'all proud of me? I actually made a decent background
Anyways, enough of my rambling XD If anyone actually read this whole thing I'm very proud of you and love you very much

Ahh, you have a really nice way of colouring things, and I like it a lot! I also love the way you painted that gorgeous BG, and the subtle use of texture. Really really nice!
These character designs are so cool. Sumalee is so pretty! I'm really partial to the blue and white colour scheme. And Cobar is hot
*shot* XD His green eyes are super cool!
Great pic

Indeed, that is a sad but true title 500 years ago! Yeesh... uhh... time flies quite fast methinks XD; *shot* Awww, "unnaturally" colored lions
Hey, it's not like most cartoons follow natural animal colors anyways
(you ever seen a blue hedgehog? a red echidna? GEESH! XD perhaps the creators were all on crack at the time o.o or threw color selections and just randomly pointed out or picked em out of a hat XD) But I like these choices well, since they both seem to fit each design well. Now I shall comment on them each
Sumalee's so pretty with her soft white fur, and the lovely blue hair! I also love the style of her hair, how it's curled onto the side like that... and her wee pink nose ish teh cute! <3 Indeed, those are some awesome sandals! Very snazzy earthy design. And her dress pattern is very stylish... I just hope no giraffes were injured for it's making XD *shot* The very light effect for her lipstick-lips is very soft and effective... as is the little detail you did for her eye Indeed, that is one gorgeous eye
Heh, unicorn coloring? Interesting thought... well she has a very innocence of one ^^ And HAH! That's right you're being poked for a certain pic of her >D *glee* And wow... she really _is_ a wee thing! <3 All the more adorable!
Cobar came out pretty damn well indeed! And you were angsting so much about it XD *pets* I like how his dark black and neon-green both contrasts and blends well with his wife's fur colors
And DAMN, he's sure a biggun! oo *like Brandon!* Btw, does he usually wear a shirt or jacket, or not, or was this just a test to show his chest poof and all? (bwahah... neon green chest poof
Sure is a hairy one
* And well done on his mane-hair parts! Heheh... as Brandon said, he has an Obi Wan beard goin on there
*shot* What, it's a compliment! XD Obi Wan kicks ass >D And those big sucker green eyes
And he looks quite content with life (before he goes a-wall XD) and his love
(and you wonder why you can't convince April to hate the boy? XD THIS ISN'T HELPIN!!!)
As for the scene, it's a very sweet one indeed! YAY, OMG JEN MADE A BG! Off to a stupendous start may I add
The color gradient for the sunset effect is well done, and very soft and subtle, and yay for cute little twinkly stars!
Sumalee seems to be admiring them yes, but in Cobar's case he seems to be admiring her more than the stars...
(again... you ask April to hate him WHY?!? XD I suggest showing more of his jerkness... THE SOFT SIDE AIN'T HELPIN! XD *brainimplosion*) And WOOT! Green grassness!
All shades of green are all very nice
And the little details you used to give it the grass look are awesome!
Ah, such prettiness <3
Now to comment on the little bits of their info-profiles Ah, Cobar used to be a nice guy and all, hmmm? Yeah, having your loved one die can change you =/ (see, that's one of the big reasons Bullseye is such a prick!!! XD You'd be pissed if you lost your momma too! XD *bricked*) That's a neat little tidbit on his name there
Burnt earth, eh? Hmmm... does he like torching things? << Perhaps the name has more meaning... >D *shot* Awww, that's a pretty meaning for Sumalee ^^ If Cobar knew that, I get this random feeling that he probably calls her his beautiful flower
(DAMN, see what you're doing! XD Now you're making me like him a little! *FLAIL* BLAST YOU!!!) At least I still like Sumalee more tho
You gotta give the woman credit for having to put up with him
*shot* Not to mention dying while giving birth to his child ;; (that's right Cobar, ALL YOUR FAULT >D It's always the man's fault! Bwahaha <3) *issomean*
Now lastly to comment on their little backstory (holy crap, this is turning into a long essay comment! XD) Awww, they have a nice little happy couple thing going on, but then hell strikes I didn't know it took them so long to have a kid ;; Poor them! How ebil XD Doesn't it completely suck that people who want babies can't have them, and those who don't want them, have them no prob? oo WHAT'S THE DEAL!?! >O No justice I say... ._.; And indeed... Sumalee is _such_ a sweetie to accept Cobar's fate like that... must really love him she does <3 Poor thing... it's so sad that she died like that ;; And poor Cobar for going nuts without her XD And poor little Aden for having no mama!
ANGST! ;; Poor little guy for getting her sickeness too... now he'll be stuck at 9 forever XD; *but my question is... will his mind stay at a age 9 level forever or will he "mature" in any sense? XD*
I look forward to seeing more on these two and a pic of Aden too, yes And YUSH! I am teh Sumalee fan
Go me <3 And holy shiskabub, I think I'm going to stop here
If this doesn't show I much I love teh kitteh then I don't know what does! ;; Great work joo!
P.S. *FLAIL* You did NOT mention that I drew a headshot of Cobar! XD It was the suckiest suck that ever sucked in the world of mouseart! ;; *withers* IT'S NOT MENTIONABLE I SAY! >> *hides* Ihateyousobad Love kinda of hate ;; *ANGSTS* Sorry, I had to do that
