Description
UPDATE: Unfortunately I no longer wish to draw Lion King style art, in-part due to some nasty elements of the fandom. However instead of hiding or deleting my art, I chose to keep it up, so at least people can still view it. If you are interested in my latest artwork you can find some below; just please note if you watch me, I will not be drawing TLK any more.
Edit: Added in Ahadi and fixed a few things bothering me. Mufasa and Scar's fur tone we are using for our AU isn't correct in the pictures here as they are taken from screencaps. As soon as we have pictures with the right fur tones I'll add them in. Safe to say both are lighter in colour than what is shown here!
Ever since I concept-ed the idea of a white Uru in 2009 I've always had the issue of liking the concept, but not the design. I finally fixed that :3
This is a sheet for use in The Big AU between myself and
Ahadi will come later as I'm iffy with his design. He is currently a slightly golden scar colour with dual mane colours
Why is your Uru design white?
Uru means diamond and you know... diamonds are normally called white xD (at least here they are) I thought it fitting she be white.
But Uru means the card suit!
I'm not sure lions know that a deck of cards is. Most likely the story teller only had a limited Swahili dictionary. That said my Uru is like a card; Red diamond(ish) marking on a white base. Can't get closer to a card than that!
Where did Scars/Mufasa 's colouring come from then?
Scar or Mufasa would end up either a dilute or 'normal' gene. Dilute would make the colours lighter eg Mufasa and Scar would end up with the 'normal' colour gene. A white lion parent won't give birth to a white cub unless the other parent has the white gene too. So Ahadi may not of had the white gene and it resulted in 'normal' and diluted coloured cubs.
Wasn't Uru red though?
Uru has never had an official design. Red is just a colour theory, the same as gold. I like white better as it makes sense from a name standpoint.
Any more questions! Ask! You're free to disagree with the theory (just as I disagree with red/orange/gold Uru) but don't be a dick about it. :C The hate caused by the last ref sheet I uploaded of her almost made me quit the fandom.

Pardon the question but do you perhaps know who did the drawing of ahadi on the side there?

Hi, sorry to bother you but I am doing a big comparison sheet of the multiple styles of Uru. I was wondering if I could draw your version along side a few others so people can see them all ^^ I will give you credit and everything. If not no big deal. I am just asking around to see who wants their style in a big pic with mine.

Aha! I finally found it! I couldn't remember where I had seen the lovely white Uru, but I finally found it! I believe it was the old version you did some time ago, but I digress. Nicely done!

Most probably! I've been spamming the fandom with a white Uru for years (making people mad with my theory xD ) so it's possible you did see an old design C:
That said I'm super glad you remember and like her! It always makes me happy to hear people like my Uru

woow, she is beautiful! But ... Then Mufasa or Scar should have lighter fur or white, just like their mother (according to your concept)

In our AU Mufasa is the one with the lighter fur. Scar has a similar colour tone to his father. Ahadi doesn't have a white gene do no white cubs for them!

This is quite original tbh! This is the design I love the most <3 Maybe her genetics could be related to albinism or some kind of ''tabby'' lioness perhaps eue?
I hope people will avoid the hate, guys chill, is just a character, and a drawing D:

Apparently the white gene in lions is similar to the chinchilla gene in cats!
I don't really get how serious people take the lion king fandom! It's kinda scarey how much hate people can get for a theory!

Giiana In reply to TheVerdantHare [2015-10-30 18:04:59 +0000 UTC]
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Didn't know that! Checking that it would make some nice combinations and would actually explain her children' pelts. It would be nice seeing her in your own style! *u*
Pfff yeah it is! Sometimes you have to remind them that they are fighting over a drawing or a fictional character, and it's quite sad, and scary.

In our Au, Mufasa is actually carrying the dilute gene making his fur lighter than 'normal'. If you look at Scar and Mufasa in the daylight their colours aren't too far apart!
Maybe one day I'll do her in my style. C:
The fandom is scarey at times!
