I'm currently in the process of getting used to the Lion King art style. Today I made my first sketch of Simba ever (I think so, I don't recall drawing him as a kid )


Simba/TLK Art Style Test

I used a bunch of references here, but the pose itself is original. Pretty standard pose too because as I said, I'm still practicing.
I'm probably going to stick to lion cubs for a bit until I move on to something else. Or not, we'll see.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Sisi Ni Sawa

Decided to add some shading to the standalone image because why not.
Next up is probably trying to draw her (and other lion king characters) in original poses. We'll see when that will be done.

Hope you like this and until next time, RS

In general, don't be disappointed because I won't pick your question. I still do this for fun only, so yeah. If you want to see something answered, try to make the question creative or fun or interesting.

Sometimes I just don't get ideas that I wanna draw and that's the case for these two questions. Just to make things clear here.

This topic also kinda relies on you guys, so if you have ideas for questions, just toss them in here. The more there are, the better the chance that my inspiration will come up with something for one of them.

Got another sketch ready.



Fans who know about this stuff might recognize where I got the idea, but I'll explain anyway.
It's one of the scenes from the first movie that we never got to see, Ducky finding the berries to get Spike away from his spot.

Here we go. Let's see if I can actually cover everything I wanna vote for now.

Fanart Award: This forum has many great artists, traditional or digital, and it's always nice to look at the topics. However, in terms of quality and professionalism, one person really managed to stand out during the last couple of months. Because of this, my vote in the fanart category goes to DarkWolf91.

Feedback Award: The main reason for doing creative work as a hobby should be that you enjoy what you do and not the responses you get, but it's nice nonetheless to see it when your work is being appreciated and also helps a lot when it comes to motivation. For giving responses and sometimes advice in pretty much every topic that involves creative work I come across this forum (including my own one), my vote in this category goes to Ducky123.

Proactive Award: This was one of the tougher choices and I looked at a lot of topics to confirm this, but ultimately, for both his work as an admin and his contributions in general which are doing a lot to keep this place active and running, Nick22 gets my vote here.

Friendly Member Award: Once again this was not an easy one as the majority of the people here are pretty friendly in general. In the end though, for welcoming a lot of the newcomers to this site and giving help/advice whenever those are needed, and for being a nice person in general to talk to, my vote goes to Ducky123.

Roleplay Award: The roleplay section of this forum is something I still haven't visited yet during my two and a half years here. It's just not something for me and even if I would go there now and look at the topics, I still wouldn't be able to cast a fair vote, so once again, I have to skip this category.

Thanks for the comments.

Ducky, what do you dream at night?

There is a reason why she's always sleeping next to Spike.

Yes I know this is a fanart thread, but I feel like some words might not be out of place for this. I'll try and make it short and sweet though.

I am not an artist, and I'm not a professional when it comes to drawing. I'm a guy messing around with pencils, as my signature is saying on deviantart, that was trying to be professional. And that...does not really work out for me.
My drawings are full of smaller or bigger mistakes, it takes me way too long to finish anything and don't even ask me about perspective because..again, I'm not a professional. And trying to be is not really fun to me, but fun is the biggest motivation I have when it comes to drawing.

So, to get that fun back, I'll stop with the wannabe professional stuff now, which means less pictures with full blown backgrounds and way too much work on details, LOADS of sketches and funny/random ideas. These things will not be perfect, they'll have issues and so on, but I had fun making these, and that is what matters the most to me.
I will still finish something every now and then, but it'll be simple stuff probably (like my avatar for example), and won't happen that often compared to me sketching stuff. I'm pretty much sketching something everyday.
Enough with the rambling, now have some sketches so you have an idea what to expect. I will also post sketches in my art thread in the visual art section from now on, I don't think a 2nd topic will be needed for that.









Also, I will be doing the "ask the gang" drawings again, so keep them questions coming.

Welcome to the GOF, hope you have fun here.

So, here's my entry for round 1.

LBT Contest Round One - Favourite Characters

---

---

Since I don't have any favourite character, I just went with favourite design, which would be the Longneck character design. So yeah, here's Littlefoot trolling Ali because he's slightly taller.
I know the background could have used more effort, but I'm lazy.

Also, I'm joining this for fun only, so please don't count this entry when picking the winners.

Thanks for the comments.

@Ducky123: Kind of. That way of movement for sea reptiles is how paleontologists imagine it in general, so the LBT crew did their research job there.
Click here for example.
But you get a cookie anyway.

Thanks once again.

Almost one year ago I made a Flutterbat Icon. This year I got a Flutterbat Plushie at GalaCon, so I made another one, using the style I have established during this year. I also put a GalaCon wristband on said plushie, which is why she has one in the picture.
