The Royal Family

How could I not jump aboard the Kion bandwagon?? New TLK canon character? Hellz yeah!! *I'm late getting this up, I sketched it as soon as I first found out about him*

Personally, I love the little guy. He reminds me of Mufasa with that tuft of red hair. I am hoping that because that paw mark on his shoulder is a different color than his spots on his legs, that this will make it a painted-on paw mark. But it is Disney Junior...the home of cheese. (I have 5 toddler/infant nieces and nephews and I must endure Disney Junior on a regular basis so I am allowed to make fun). So I won't be shocked if it is a birth mark. *Teehee, I deliberately drew him in a position where I wouldn't have to add it). I may go back in and add Simba (this was just a quick sketch that got colored).

The series is designed for toddlers, so yes, it probably will be cheesy. But I love the idea of new characters and that they will be teaching kids about family, friendship and all those wonderful things.

I've seen a few pictures around with Kion and Kiara. Most people seem to draw her as an adult. I didn't read anywhere that she was going to be an adult in the series, so I think it would be more fun if she was closer to him in age, like she is a teenager or something.

Anyway, I had to get the Kion the Lion out of my system *note: I tweaked his colors a bit because he stood out like a sore thumb next to Nala and Kiara's movie colors*
