Yeah, I don't consider TLG as kanon. Comics and books are much better and don't break the lore of the cartoon.

[transmasc-lioness]

Introducing my golden au designs for Kula, Malka and Chumvi! Doodle of them hanging out in the Elephant Graveyard, which they start doing as kids under Scar's reign.

Kula and Malka are young lovers, and Malka is all over her. Though sometimes he feels like a third wheel between her and her brother Chumvi. The three are all close friends though, and are known to cause chaos and scrap with hyenas around the pridelands.

Malka and his mother moved to the pridelands from the Wahatan pride, same as Kula and Chumvi's mother. All three were born in Wahatan.

TLK: More Sakin

Had Sakin brainrot and had to do some sketches of my OC as a comeback after a long, climactic semester

For anyone unfamiliar, Sakin is the OC father I made for Vitani. Three things played into his creation:

One, I feel like Vitani doesn't have anything to really do with Scar, because not only does she not look much like him to me, but I feel like she'd have a complex if she were Scar's kid but not chosen by him (which is more commonly accepted by the fandom as something Nuka struggles with, so I saved that complex for him)

It's said by the director of TLK (who... hardly remembers working on the film) that Kovu was an orphan adopted by Zira, so his very own dad would have to be a completely different guy. Vitani is the spitting image of Zira and I can't see her being a littermate of Kovu and therefore another orphan unrelated to Zira because of that, so I had to make a separate father for her. (ngl as I write this I'm kinda getting jumbled ideas on how to make sense of Vitani and Kovu's parentage, I have made Chumvi and an OC named Huzuni into Kovu's parents but I'm also willing to experiment with other headcanons in the future since it's been years)

I made him solely out of wanting to make a Barbary Lion in the TLK universe, as well as to establish the headcanon that Vitani is half-Barbary Lion to explain her long fur (which is a stylistic choice I went with to distinguish Barbary Lions in TLK, yes males have long, extensive, dense manes. IRL Barbary Lionesses don't get full-on tufts or anything, but their pelt fur is generally a bit longer, though)

(also btw I thought it would be fun to make his little model sheet title some generic, stereotypical 80's heavy metal text to go with his classic metalhead design)

[dolliebrains]

the shmookies!! first and third pic is of s&n’s quadruplet cubs in my headcannon (first image, from l to r: shani, chaka, aisha and kion), the second is of kopa (he’s chumvi & nala’s cub in my headcannon, he was conceived before nala found simba), and the last is of my kovara cubs: lafiya (‘laffi’), fayola and neema!

[barkers-art]

Decided to try out this meme with my version of the semi-canon TLK character, Kopa.

For the "canon" design, I just used his appearance in the Six New Adventures books. A lot of fanon interpretations of Kopa have him as Fluffy, aka Simba and Nala's cub from the end of the first movie, so I just used those colors and also gave him some scars since a lot of TLK fans like to have Kopa either be killed by Zira or survive with some wounds. As for my version, I decided to have Kopa be Nala's cub who was born shortly before she left the Pridelands to find help, and was actually sired by another semi-canon character named Chumvi.

Nala Meets André

“Hi, I’m Nala. What’s your name?”

“Uh…André. What are you doing out here alone? It’s dangerous with all these hyenas running about.”

“Chumvi dared me to talk to you. He think’s you’re scary, but I’ve seen you working with my mom at the theatre, so I know you’re not that bad.”

“You have no idea, kid…”

In This Scene

This scene takes place a little more than 20 years before the events of the main storyline of my fanfic WIP, Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom. A couple years after the “Hamelt Incident,” in which the theatre of the Pridelands Shakespeare Company caught fire and Mufasa was knocked into a coma rescuing Simba from the panicked stampede, André Caron—one of the PSC’s fight choreographers—found himself blackmailed into serving as King Regent Scar’s personal bodyguard. One day, as he was wandering around the Pridelands brooding, he was approached by a young lioness cub named Nala. They had seen each other during rehearsals for the plays that Mufasa and Scar put on, but they’d never really talked to each other before. Nala quickly shared that she had been dared to approach him by her friend Chumvi, since André frightened him. Nala, however, followed through on the dare, and introduced herself to the swordsman.

It was soon after that André and Nala were attacked by a group of Scar’s parading hyenas, and André and Nala fled until they were surrounded. Sending Nala up into a nearby acacia tree for safety, André drew his sword and fended off the hyenas single-handedly, a feat which Nala admired, although she now understood why her friend Chumvi was afraid of the swordsman.

Thus began a sort of big-brother-esque friendship between André and Nala that would eventually lead to her training under him, becoming the most skilled and effective lioness hunter and warrior in the Pridelands. Only Simba—who trained primarily with André’s best friend, Chris Carnovo the tyrannosaur—would be her equal, but not her superior.

Behind the Scenes

Another piece from the nightstand sketchbook. I’m really pleased with how André’s pose turned out. Seated poses are difficult for me, but everything just came together on this one.

The scene and the blurb were inspired by the storybook Nala’s Dare, by Joanne Barkan. In my fanfic, André is the inspiration for the rogue lion Ni, a fact which does have some bearing on the main plot of Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom.

TLK Semi-Canon Character Challenge

Wanted to practice my drawing on the lion king so I’ve decided to do this challenge!

Uru - Born as the fourth princess of a neighboring kingdom, she wasn’t beautiful like her older sister or strong like her two older brothers but she was intelligent and charismatic to her family. She’s an excellent huntress and works as the ambassador for her pride to other kingdoms as well. She would later go to the Pridelands to reach an agreement for Mohatu’s eldest son to be betrothed to her older sister, but instead he chosen Uru as his future Queen! She would later become Queen concert and mother of Askari II (Scar) and adoptive mother to Mufasa, and acts as a peacekeeper among other animals.

Ahadi - Stern and responsible king of the pridelands, and comes to his father, Mohatu for wisdom and advice. While his brother leads the guard, Ahadi is a busy lion who tries to keep his subjects happy and listening to their problems. But his pride worry due to the fact that he hasn’t picked a Queen yet. So when a neighboring pride came to the pridelands to offer a Betrothal, Ahadi fell for Uru. Sure, her sister is beautiful, but Uru was beautiful in his eyes.

Mheetu - Son of Askari II (Scar) and Sarafina, he’s rather a nervous cub during Scar’s reign and hated the thought of violence. He cared for his family and the pride and would often risk himself by giving his food to the others. He was glad that Simba returned as the true heir to the pride and Mheetu would fight alongside the pride to fight back.

Kopa - Youngest Triplets of Kiara and Kion, he was happy and cheerful cub and loved playing with his siblings and spending time with his best friend Afua but is somewhat naive and obvious around his surroundings.

Afua - Prideful and thrill seeking cub, son of Chumvi and Tama, he likes to go on adventures with Kopa and play games with him. But was upset when Kion didn’t choose him to be part of the lion guard.

KovuXKiara’s Eldest - Don’t have a name for her, but I do know that she’s a relaxing and calm girl. But she didn’t expect herself to be brave when she saved cubs from a rogue lion.

[mandrawsdog]

YOOO your art is sooo good.... I love how gritty it feels, like it had TEXTURE I can touch, woa

I wanted to ask if it'd be alright if I used your designs for the Friendly Five (Kula, Chumvi etc) as a jumping-off point for my own designs? Of course, you'll be credited for the original design for the cubs! They're just so striking, it makes me think about the designs I did ages ago.

Keep up the great work!

You're very kind to send this, thank you. <3

I encourage anyone who is inspired by anything I make at all to pursue that inspiration if they want to and I mean it. That's how art works so far as I'm concerned, inspiration feeding inspiration. You don't even need to credit me for it, though acknowledgment is always a kind gesture.

And I'll probably end up poking around your blog at a later date to see your own takes on the lion kids lol

Have fun and stay gold!

Sehemu: XXI.

----------------------

3. 9. 1. DALILI NA MATOKEO YA TABIA YA ULEVI.

(a). "ULAFI - GLUTTONY"

Ulafi ni hali ya kukosa kiasi katika kula au kunywa, Ni tamaa au kujiachia kupita kiasi. Ni hali ya kuwa na pupa na ubinafsi.

.....BWANA YESU anasema "Jiangalieni, mioyo yenu isije IKALEMEWA na ULAFI, na ULEVI, na MASUMBUFU ya maisha haya; siku ile ikawajia ghafula, kama mtego unasavyo.

....Luka 21:34....

Kama umemwelewa YESU anaonya kwamba kulemewa na ulafi, Ulevi na masumbuko haya yanaweza kukuzuia usiione mbingu. Tabia ya Ulevi imesababisha watu kuwa walafi, wenye pupa na tamaa mbaya kiasi kwamba hawakumbuki familia zao tena kwa sababu wanatenda bila kufikiri mwisho wa siku anaharibu kila kitu.

.....Kwa sababu HAKUJUA UTULIVU NDANI yake, HATAPONYA cho chote katika hicho ALICHOKIFURAHIA.

....Ayubu 20:20....

Wengine utakuta anaenda mahali anaagiza chakula na kinywaji kizuri anakula na kunywa na wakati mwingine anawanunulia wengine, LAKINI familia yake wanakosa hata chumvi, nyumbani mwake ni Ombaomba. Hii ni dhambi acha ulafi.

....USIWE miongoni mwao WANYWAO mvinyo; Miongoni mwao WALAO nyama kwa PUPA. Kwa maana MLEVI na MLAFI huingia UMASKINI, Na utepetevu humvika mtu nguo mbovu.

.....Mithali 23:20 - 21.....

(b). "UMASKINI"

Wewe utakuwa Shahidi mzuri juu ya hili, maisha ya mlevi yapoje, Tabia ya Ulevi ni kukurudisha kwenye umaskini taratibu,

.....Leo utawanunuliwa vinywaji watu, Kesho watanunua familia yako.

......Leo utasema nakunywa kwa afya, Kesho utaokotwa kwenye mitalo na kufeli kwa figo.

......Leo utakunywa kupunguza mawazo, Kesho utaomba kifo chako mwenyewe.

......Leo utakunywa kwa akili na majitambo mengi, Kesho unaambulia kulia, kuomboleza na umaskini.

Kimbia umaskini kwa kuacha kabisa Ulevi.

Mara nyingi tabia ya Ulevi inasababisha KUPOTEZA MALI na KUDUMAA KIMAISHA. Ulevi unasababisha umaskini kuanzia kwenye akili mpaka utendaji wa kazi, ambapo matokeo yake kupoteza au kurudi nyuma kimaisha. Na unazuia baraka (posho) zako mwenyewe.

....Basi, tazama, KWA AJILI YA HAYO nimenyosha mkono wangu juu yako, nami NIMELIPUNGUZA POSHO lako, na kukutoa kwa mapenzi yao wanaokuchukia, binti za Wafilisti, WALIOYAONEA HAYA MAMBO YAKO YA UASHERATI.

.....Ezekieli 16:27....

(c). MATESO

Tabia ya Ulevi ndugu yangu ni tabia tishio kwa sababu inaleta...

.....Maangaiko kimaisha,

.....Uzalilishaji pande zote (fikiri mtu anakunywa anavua nguo, Kesho yake aibu kwake na familia. Lakini wengine sio kujizalilisha bali wanazalilisha watu wanaoishi nao kuwapiga na kuwatendea ukatili kisa pombe),

..... Taabu za rohoni, kujisikia vibaya, kujihisi upweke nk,

...... Matukano, Magomvi na Virugu kwenye familia, jamii nk,

...... Uzinifu (Usaliti kwenye familia, na matengano mengi ni uzinzi na kisababishi kikuu ni Ulevi)

....... Magonjwa (Afya zimeshambuliwa kwa Ulevi, Mfano Magonjwa ya figo mengi ni Ulevi)

.......Basi, vifisheni viungo vyenu vilivyo katika nchi, uasherati, Uchafu, Ulevi, tamaa mbaya, mawazo mabaya, na kutamani, ndiyo ibada ya sanamu; kwa ajili ya mambo hayo huja (mateso) GHADHABU ya MUNGU.

Kolosai 3:5 - 6.....

(d). UTEGEMEZI.

Kutokana na tabia ya Ulevi kusababisha Vurugu, Ugomvi, Matengano, Vipigo umaskini nk matokeo yake imeleta utegemezi kwenye jamii nyingi. Unakuta Baba au Mama kakimbia familia watoto wanaangaika, Maangaiko yao hayataathiri tu familia bali jamii na taifa na kuwa watu wa kutegemea misaada kwenye kila kitu.

Kimbia na Epuka Ulevi kwa sababu ni HATARISHI kwenye maisha yako, Mkimbilie BWANA YESU Akuokoe kwenye Ulevi. Je upo tayari?

.....Tazama, nasimama mlangoni, nabisha; mtu akiisikia sauti yangu, na kuufungua mlango, nitaingia kwake, nami nitakula pamoja naye, na yeye pamoja nami.

.....Ufunuo 3:20....

3. 10. TABIA YA 10: "KIBURI - PRIDE"

......Tutaendelea......

@2024 The year of my shining.

[thepaststillhurts]

@roarofancients:

He chuckles as leading the cub off to find others, after getting permission and finding those to fill the roles with them. "Simba, don't be disappointed. Rather, what you did to Shenzi at the graveyard to save Nala; you'd be Leader role of the Guard rather than Bravest. And your cub friends easily fill in the other roles; Malka the Brave, Tojo the Keen, Chumvi the Strong, and Mhiitu the Fast. You'd be the Fierce." The Lioness Nash was with them, and just knew when talk was friendly or not, which would help keep the young Prince safe. They found others willing to fill in the temporary roles; a Cheetah, Leopard, Hyena, and Cape Dog. The hyena a Brown, not one of the kind that caused trouble before.

Back in the Lair now, he started with the first ones. About Mufasa and himself, and how the tradition usually went with firstborn and secondborn, and the roar and about what happened to cause him to lose control at the time though there definitely was more to the story than was let on. Moving on to the others, "This wall here tends to have the paintings of each Lion Guard that once upon a time existed in the Pride Lands, however you might notice some are quite faded. Reasons for that. Anyways," to the next one - about Askari, and his time. "Well, he is called the First Leader of the Lion Guard but that isn't true; what happened before his is the first but something happened to change them. Askari defeated the original guard thus saving the Kingdom of the time. You might notice the original leader of the guard lacks a painting here, Askari was named after him as he had been legendary, Ascari before his downfall to darkness." Further in the lair, about the other paintings - what he knew of them anyways, until they reached the hole in the ground. He picked up the cub, and jumped down in - missing the slide and sharp rocks; the rest of the group proving able to get in without a scratch. Placing Simba down again, "Now, stay very close to us. There's cliffs around and other traps, and there is further in a maze puzzle and invisible bridge. And try not to touch any random seemingly innocent rocks, if it gets dark here that we can't see anything just wait then follow my voice."

“Really?” Simba asked with true joy in his voice. Him? The Fiercest? Wow, that sounded very inspiring to him. And maybe ... yes, he definitely fitted that role better. As Fiercest he was supposed to lead the Lion Guard - and as prince he couldn’t imagine other role for himself. “Yes, I am the Fiercest.” The cub laughed and jumped on a rock to show himself. “I have the Roar of the Elders, hear me!” He even got himself into a “ready-to-pounce” position before starting to roar, however it sounded more like a yowl. “Did ya hear it uncle Scar? Did ya...?” Words got stuck in him when he noticed the brown hyena behind Scar. Simba immediately went into a defensive mood to show he was worthy (and of course because Scar was with him now it was easier to seem to be brave).

“Hey! Hyenas are not allowed to be in the Pride Lands. Leave these lands now!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little cub was amazed by all these stories. They were just as inspiring to him as the stories about the Great Kings of the Past. He would listen to them all day. 

As they got further inside, the place started to become more and more creepy but in an exciting way. Obeying the old male lion, he drew closer to his uncle, waiting to see where the team took him.

[australet789]

During Scar’s reign, some lions were exiled from the Pridelands, mostly Simba’s old friends. Some managed to find each other and form little groups to survive, like these 2 couples here. 

Chumvi and Kula, the first ones, were friends since cubs, so it was easy for them to form a team. They easily felt in love with each other and would rather starve than be separated. After Scar’s defeat, they returned to the Pridelands and ended up having a son named Amaziah, who will later become Imara’s mate.

Mheetu and Tama didn’t have it as easy tho. While excited to find a familiar face after so long, Tama would have prefered anyone than Scar’s son. Sure, she knew that the tyrant didnt recognize Mheetu as his offspring but still, he was Scar’s son. Mheetu realized that his pressence made her uncomfortable, so he tried his best to stay as far as he could, only joining her when hunting. These little actions made Tama realize that she has been too quickly to judge Mheetu, specially when one night, she found the young lion crying. She comforted him and listened to his laments: the way he blamed himself for not being strong enough to confront his father, for losing Kijani and for being a burden to Tama. The lioness let him cry that night and later apologized, telling him that he wasnt a burden and that she was glad to have him as a partner. Little by little they also felt in love with each other, and the result would be Zuri.  

The scars the boys have were caused by the hyenas when they were leaving the Pridelands after their respective exile.

The MacBeth Demonstration

In This Scene

“Lay on, MacDuff, and d@mned be he that first cries ‘Hold, enough!’” André recited, and he swung at Chris the tyrannosaur with his heavy Scotch broadsword. Chris slipped back and lunged, and André quickly brought his sword up into a hanging guard, and the fight was on.

Simba, King of the Pridelands and Director of the Pridelands Shakespeare Company (PSC), smiled as the two fencing masters demonstrated the new fight choreography for his next production of the “Scottish Play,” scribbling notes in a notebook as he jotted down ideas that came into his head as he imagined his father and himself clashing blades onstage, he playing a Lowland Scots MacDuff and his father the role of the Highland Pretender to the throne of Scotland.

Beside him was his mate, Nala, Queen of the Pridelands, making her own mental notes. However, she found her thoughts drifting back to Scar’s regency, when she first learned of André’s skill with the broadsword. She was but a cub, then. The infamous “Hamlet Incident” had been but a year in the past, leaving Mufasa in a coma, Scar as King-Regent, and Simba nowhere to be found. She had seen the PSC’s fight choreographer hiking along the edges of the Pridelands several times, brooding silently with a sword at his hip, always looking disheveled, as if he’d slept in his clothes and just woken up. One day, she and her friends Chumvi and Kula were foraging for food (the first of several famines during Scar’s regency was just starting) when a group of hyena thugs had cornered them to steal what they’d found. They’d escaped up a tree, surrounded by hyenas, when André had appeared. He told them all to stand down. They’d sneered at him, asking to know what he was going to do about it.

That was when André drew his broadsword.

The hyenas attacked at all once, but André retreated until they’d thinned themselves out, then began attacking them one by one, hamstringing some, slashing at others’ shoulders, and smashing others in the face with his sword’s steel basket-hilt like brass knuckles. The fight was over in minutes, and when it was over he’d escorted the cubs back to Pride Rock, scolding them for wandering off alone so far from their parents. So when Nala grew older, a few years later, she knew who she wanted to teach her how to fight…

Behind the Scenes

Since I’ve been leaning a bit more heavily into my Highland broadsword fencing in the past few months, I decided to draw Chris and André doing something broadsword-related. While Chris can canonically use a Highland broadsword, his anatomy (short arms, big head) places major limitations on the techniques and guards he can use effectively, so he prefers to use rapiers and other thrust-centric swords whenever possible. Meanwhile, I’ve always conceived of André favoring more cut-centric swords and fencing styles since his earliest inception, and in the spirit of “write what you know,” I’ve given him skills in the British/Anglophone broadsword tradition.

Thus, I decided to stage a fight scene between Chris wielding a rapier and André wielding a Highland broadsword, and in that spirit decided to trace a screenshot of the final duel between Tim Roth and Liam Neeson in Rob Roy—this one, in fact:

I drew Chris using the same (anachronistic) style of rapier that Roth uses (it’s from nearly a century before the film takes place), while André gets the broadsword. From his earliest incarnation, Chris’s signature weapon was a cup-hilt rapier without a knuckle-guard, because he was a pirate captain and Disney’s version of Captain Hook had one. But as a kid, I came up with the idea that as Chris got older, he would retire his old rapier and start favoring a shorter, lighter rapier with a knuckle-guard, and Roth’s prop was exactly what I imagined. It seems that at this point in his life, he’s already acquired his new weapon, even if it’s not his main sword.

I was originally going to have the scene take place in the same kind of castle vault as the original screenshot, but the framing wasn’t working right—there was empty space in all the wrong places and the perspective was a bit too hard to nail down. So I changed the scene to Chris and André’s studio/home, Jeronimo’s.

The story is a variation on the children’s book “Nala’s Dare,” written by Joanne Barkan, as summarized on the Lion King Wiki ( https://lionking.fandom.com/wiki/Nala%27s_Dare ). In Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom, the Disney stories and movies we all know and love are exactly that—movies and stories. However, these stories usually end up being “fantastic retellings” of the characters’ “real lives” when they’re not making world-renowned movies, and some characters can appear in more than one story under a variety of names and even forms. In this case, Word of God says that André is, in fact, the in-universe basis for the character of Ni the rogue lion in “Nala’s Dare’—and this fact will become important in the latter half of Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom as Chris, André and Kopa start playing with some unusually powerful magic…
