Long time no post!
The Lion King Movie and I have had a very long history together. The Lion King has always been one of those movies that inspired me ever since it first came out. When I was a kid I collected The Lion King; Nature, Fun and Learn series, a set of magazines that my Dad bought me on weekends. I would copy the art inside and try to redraw pictures from the books and promo material that my family had collected for me. (No internet back then young'uns!) As I got older and finally got access to the internet I found a whole website dedicated to Lion King fanart and it was there I made friends with people I still know today. I even got Artist of the Month; a super coveted award from there!
For a while I did a lot of Lion King fanart, however I found that the fandom came with some very vocal people, who if you didn't match their concepts and ideas would get very mean about it. I was glad to inspire people and give back to the community that had been my 'home' for years, but it felt very bitter-sweet after all the drama endured. So in the end, I decided to discontinue TLK fanart and TLK style artwork for good.
...Until the 2019 movie was a thing. And I FINALLY felt like I had an excuse to draw in a style that wasn't the movie standard and still get my work taken seriously.
As of yet I have not seen the 2019 movie (hoping to go this Sunday!) but I wanted to get something done before it left the theatres. Even if it turns out to be total trash heap, I'm so very glad that it's given me a spark once more and a reason to be able to do fanart on my terms.

Your work of art is beautiful. I am also a fan of "Lion King" and now my kids also enjoy this movie with Best Caramels online. They love it so much. Janwil on June 11, 2024, 2:33:40 AM

Your journey with The Lion King sounds incredibly heartfelt and inspiring, from those cherished magazines to the online community that became a creative haven. It's unfortunate that some fans could sour the experience, but it's amazing that the 2019 movie reignited your passion. Creating fanart on your terms, free from constraints, is empowering. Whether the movie exceeds expectations or not, it's revitalized your artistic spirit, which is truly precious. As you venture to see it this Sunday, revel in that newfound excitement. And when you're not immersed in Lion King bliss, perhaps try out State of Survival on PC for a change of pace!emulatorpc.com/addiction-solitaire/
