Description
When I first got the Internet (AOL...) several years ago, being the dork I am I was quickly drawn into the chatroom role-playing world. The Lion King RPG was one of the ones I frequented most often for two or three years before I realized I was 17 and pretending to be a peer of the Simba folk, often with creative additions to the rather mundane anatomy of a lion, such as wings, horns, multi-colored eyes and supernatural powers. Towards the end of my time in our "Pridelands" chatroom, as it was beginning to die out, I reverted back to the good-old lioness characters without the extra appendages or insane colorful fur patterns. I don't know how this picture wound up turning out so well considering that I did not use a reference for it. I'd gotten embarassingly familiar with the structure of Lion King-style characters because I drew them so often, but this was definitely my best (and my last) picture. I think this was the last decent job I ever did at all, in fact. I picked it back up a few weeks ago to fix the distorted body and botched-up nose.
