This is just the bottom part of the same page I did Mufasa's face on. I did it just from referencing of memory of watching TLK, more in the scene of when he goes into the stampede then leaps to save himself. The film shots of the action are the best in animation IMO.
A long time ago, I really had this jealous rage against Nala when I was a kid. It made me so crazy I once tore up a storybook page of Simba and Nala in romance to pieces. So this artwork was inspired by that old episode of irrational feeling. I put her in a situation of terror in what most people wouldn't think of doing to a lion cub. I only used character sheet refs from department store stickers. But the stickers were top line art of TLK characters that is referred to as clip art.
Filling my belly with the remnants of the night prior’s takeaway (almost always on Sunday mornings) before the day job starts is fast becoming a ritual of mine’s lately, hence the name of this one. The joys, eh?
A nap.
I am testing some new papers and colors to do more illustrations for the Minotaur book as I read it.
This book is called The Minotaur Takes His Own Sweet Time by Steven Sherrill. Can't wait to start it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6SbuaOTqo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
A small watercolour painting honouring the Jacobite tradition. Imagery taken from the descriptions on this website: https://thehistoryjar.com/2018/03/07/jacobite-symbols-decoding-treachery-or-loyalty/
A Nala sketch that didn't come out as planned but is a whole new picture that would be correct if I chose a different idea. I wanted a pose where she would be in a petrified state but I got a zombie features (?). Go figure.
Did you have one of these as a child? I had multiples, every size from one that doubled as an eraser that you could fit on your pencil, to the extra large size, she must have been 10 inches high. Trolls were great with all their hair colours. My sister and I made them clothes and sent them on adventures.
