Kike: I- I'm not sure...


She has such big ears omg, I never noticed!! Will do better next time! xDDD


After weeks spent in my folder, this WIP finally got completed. U_U Sorry for my inactivity I have much to deal with this term (teachers are killing us with homework) but I'll try to post at least two other drawings before May comes, including W-a-n-d-a 's YCH as I'm almost done with it...

About the pic now:
It depicts my fan OC Kike, who is supposed to be Kovu and Kiara's daughter.
You can find more info about her (temporary facts, it's old) here:  
I wanted to practice face angles and TLK's lion artstyle so I decided to use Kike as my guinea pig for this project since I hadn't drawn her in a while~ I'm fond of this character even if I haven't finished developping her yet.
Hum... I couldn't find any proper reference for the pose and I hate inaccuracy so I'm sorry if the anatomy is not perfect... I did my best with the knowledge I have about anatomy... and I obviously need to practice more. <_<"
I'm rather happy with how the background turned out considering that I have redone the rocky steps at least 10 times before getting something somewhat correct. I kept painting lines which made the rock look roundy while it was supposed to be flat (but still natural to a certain extent)! I thought I'd need to use a grid but didn't in the end, and that's good.
Also I forgot to add a (subtle) yellow filter to make it look more like it's taken from a TLK movie but whatever, I think the colors already pop a little too much. e_e"
... I want to say "no critiques please" since it has been a big struggle to get things that way but at the same time I went out of my comfort zone so as to improve so if you want to help, feel free!

Regarding the story behind this scene: there's none this time. I usually enjoy giving my still drawings a lively story but this pic was just made so as to practice so I have no clear idea what's going on here. I suppose she's going to some official meeting/presentation but is scared to mix with lions from the high society or many she's just afraid to face a crowd or may she also be unsure or nervous about trying something new which would be challenging somehow?
If you have any idea about what's going on then tell me!! xD I'd like to hear the interpretation you make of it! ;D Let your creativity sparkle!

... That's all I guess. Next finished picture will probably be since the only thing I have to complete now is the background (the only things I've added since I posted this pic are the flat colors so I have all the shading to do + adding the post-production effectssss)~

Hope you like it!

She's super cute, and even without a story, she's intriguing.  She has a unique design too.

I like how it turned out n.n
Don't worry, we understand ><
I'm not an expert, but I think the anatomy is correct n.n and I still like the visible claws n.n it reinforce the fact that she's nervous/insecure
The rocks looks good also n.n and, even if it have nothing to do with the composition, I like how your signature kinda blend with the rock :3 like if it was carved on it n.n

As for the story... I think she's kinda crouched, so maybe she's actually watching these lions she's supposed to meet from a distance. She's feeling insecure, in part because she's introvert (and an introvert that have to talk to a big croud will be insecure and anxious, hence the claws) and in part because she'll have to spend time with both males and females... IDK xD

You did a great work my friend n.n
