Nanaki's Sorrow

"My tribe were protectors of those who appreciate this beautiful canyon and the Planet. My brave mother fought and died here, but my cowardly father left her...... I am the last of my race." - Red XIII/Nanaki, Final Fantasy VII

This is my depiction of the death of Nanaki's mother during the Gi tribe attack on them. This IS, of course, assuming Nanaki was a cub back then 'cause the game didn't really specify how long ago it happened. You can just see the Lion King hints all over this drawing. (Mainly because I used Lion King references to do this. There's not that many good Lion King pics around the Internet. )

This is my first time drawing Nanaki as a cub (actually, it's my first time drawing Nanaki PERIOD), so don't be too critical of me, please.

I love my feathers...
