The Lion Guard - Tumblr Posts

Oh, look, more lions! Another two members of the Burning Blood - Johari and Gorgen (sister of Ruki, whom I drew last time). These two are made for each other, even if Jo is a walking ray of sunshine and happiness, and Gorgen is an introverted soul full of unresolved anger and sorrow . Her mate's stupid smile makes her smile sometimes, though.

The Burning Blood Pride continues! Zakia's son, Wolfram, and his love, Ardhi* - daughter to Johari and Gorgen.

(*you won't find Ardhi in my old drawings. She used to have a different design and a different name - Veuso) Drawings from the series so far: Zakia and Ruki Johari and Gorgen The BBP collection on my deviantART

Aaaand here is the last couple - Asaya and Hazel (son of Johari and Gorgen). He must have said something stupid... No worries - this series might be over, but I still need to draw some characters from the Pride. Ruki needs a partner, Kii needs a redesign, maybe Asaya and Hazel's cubs need some new portrayal, too...

As you can see, I'm on my drawing spree (sry) Kii's new design, updated and more accurate. Now resembling her beloved grandmother much more :)

Oh, and I updated Burning Blood's family tree - now on FamilyEcho. It's easier to keep it up to date this way.

An old character of mine, freshly recycled, good as new. First recycled for a Polish Lion King role-play, but as of 20.01.2024 he is part of the Burning Blood Pride as Kii's mate. I used him in another rp in 2012, that's what he looked like back then (beware, old scribbles):

Poa! It's Baliyo :D

Yes, I did watch "The Lion Guard" a few days back. I'm not the target audience, there are some things that are annoying to me (animation style of Kion and his family or the cubs generally, the use of the Roar, the marks...  not my stuff), but what I like is the introduction of new characters and new design options, like markings etc. They were in the fandom for a loooong time now, but nice to see them in an official series. I'm absolutely in love with the Night Pride and it's hard for me to choose the favorite (well, ok, Rani is probably on the end of the list, sorry!). Baliyo is cute tho, he also seems to be the opposite to the angry, fierce, charismatic and very self-confident Kion (at least in my opinion?). That scene were he didn't want to visit Janna got deeply into my heart as I had similar experiences not so long ago. It's good to know I'm not the only one and it's a good representation.

Surak of the Night Pride A strong, loyal warrior, but also the voice of reason. Really like that guy and his design, couldn't get the mane as it should be, though.

Oh, well, another member of the Night Pride and my fav female character in The Lion Guard - Nirmala.

I was SURE I won't draw Rani because I didn't like her design, but...  I saw a few fantastic pictures of her on dA and I realised it wasn't her design I hated, but the style of the animation. And by that I mean the EYES. Wtf?? So, here she is, Queen Rani of the Tree of Life.

Here we go again~

1. Volundr, an old character. I still won't use him, but I wanted to practice drawing some other body types than big bulky lions. 2. Damaja, my favorite bastard, here at 8 years of age. The older he is, the more feathers he gets. 3. Concept of a design for Tali, soon-to-be-member of the same pride Damaja is (Magharibi pride) from a small private role-play I write with my buddies. 4. Nuru, Damaja's twin brother. Belongs to ComicScribe from deviantART. 5. Zakia and adolescent Kii, grandma and granddaughter. 6. Final design for Tali.

Yo ho, a fresh lion doodles batch! 1. ...or not only lions, because the black guy is a young melanistic leopard named Kali by ComicScribe over dA. 2. Ronja Haggardsdottir is one of my best girls on Lioden. 3. Eseti, a character of an aquitance. 4. Some random headshot. 5. Two times Damaja. 6. Busara, Dama's guuuurl, Kalani's little girl. (Ki-Re/@hawkclash) 7. Small design refresh for Henear, my OC - Sarabi's son, born at the end of Scar's tyrannical reign. 8. Tali and her yet-to-be-named son.

Yo, look who got Sai back after 1,5 years and spend the whole day on testing it? yea.

Love drawing manes, so here are three boys - Rollo by DanmulS (hey, really, I binge read your comic - catching storyline, great designs and Rollo's awesome mane = my love), Nuru by ComicScribe and Jethro of @hawkclash.

i just love drawing manes a bit too much, okay???

Asante Sana (a small, not very relevant character, Kalani's late son) and two BFF from the Burning Blood Pride - Johari and Ruki.

Note to Ruki - I darkened his mane color and used the "dark fur color" on his ears instead of the nose color, his character sheet is also not up to date. (....need a new one........)

Ruki got a greatly deserved and much needed update on his character sheet :) There are some small changes, like the colors of the mane and the ear fluff, plus his mane is more "compact" now.

Ghali scolding the king of Pridelands for coming to him for help... He is the leader of the Kiburi Pride, living in the Elephant Graveyard looooong before the plot of the movie.

(I always liked these "fake screenshots" other artists do, I think I need to try it out more often!)

LIOOOONSSSS 1) Henear! Might use this headshot for a future character sheet. Son of Sarabi, born not long before Simba's return. 2) Zakia first needs to find that b*tch and rip out her throat (Z. is great for vent art, 10/10 would recommend) 3) Tali 4) Witiri, my part of a trade with BunnyTheDragon over dA.

Henear's last character sheet was done 2012, here an update! My OC, son of Sarabi and a rogue lion (who tried to sneak into the Pridelands and challenge Scar), born not long before Simba's takeover. I totally ship him with Vitani :3

Hello there!

Work in progress - Tosa finding Tali somewhere in their pride's territory

Tosa ist @hawkclash

Henear and Vitani, bc I've been rewatching Simba's Pride a lot lately and I ship those guys sooooo hard. Funny - I've drawn them together only once, thirteen years ago.

Here they are, two odd souls who finally found each other. /I'm in this part of fandom who headcanon's Vitani as bi. Henear is demi./
