Description Here's an updated version. Thanks everybody for the constructive ctitiques, I took what I read and made a better image. One of the reasons why I love DA so much!

The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time, so I had to pay homage. I had been meaning to create some Lion King art for a while, just never got around to it.

What you all think?

Wow! This looks awesome! I like your style here. So simplified, (not in a bad way, I hope I used the right word ): ) and clear and I also like how the lines are so streight, it makes it very comfortable to look at. The background is so amazingly cool!
I really like the way you've drawn Simba, that angle is so hard to draw, specially the face!
I don't really have any criticism to give you-- other than about the placement of the paws.
The right hindleg should be placed a bit lower than the left hindleg instead of higher/at the same line.
It would be correct if you drew him directly from the side, but not in this case. But it's not really a very eyecatching mistake, I just felt like pointing something out, since you asked me to look at this xP

That is seriously amazing. The only thing I might suggest changing is the paws on the lion a little bit (: Well proportioned...Good size and the expression really captures the mood. I love the colours you put onto the landscape instead of it just being gray like I've seen so many done. Overall well done ^^

thanks a bunch. yeah simba was kinda tricky to draw from that angle. i'm not the best when it comes to feline anatomy. Maybe, i'll get better in the future. Thanks for the praise.

ShylaBlu [2010-01-23 17:59:30 +0000 UTC]

This looks great- I love the colors you used, and the style you drew the image in. Simba's anatomy does seem a bit wonky- he's looking a little thick through.

KIRKparrish In reply to ShylaBlu [2010-01-23 21:41:13 +0000 UTC]

I updated simba a bit. what do you think?

ShylaBlu In reply to KIRKparrish [2010-01-23 21:49:01 +0000 UTC]

Much better, definitely! The anatomy was a bit distracting before, and now it's much easier to enjoy the image as a whole. Great work!

Really liking the background. Nicely shaded and highlighted and a fun, working colour choice.
Good colours on Simba too. He's quite chunky, though, particularly in the front leg, but I don't think that's so bad for the picture's styling.
