Hello!
You can call me Nala. 
A little about me... I've been drawing my whole life. I started doing digital art in 2007, (posting on this site: fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Na... ) and have been learning lots of new techniques, experimenting and striving to improve my skills since 2006. When I'm not drawing, I'm writing. When I'm not doing either of those things, I'm working or relaxing. But sometimes I write and draw at the same time. It's called comic creating. 
I started my first, full-scale Lion King comic in September 2010. The comic is called "Betrothed" and I dedicated it to a fellow artist and friend of mine who passed away just days before I posted my first page. 
RIP, Simbamarasa. 
I miss you.
On a happier note, my comic was a HUGE success (much bigger than I ever anticipated), and wrapped up in December 2012. BUT, it inspired a sequel, which began pre-production in July 2012 and is currently in actual production. The comic is called "Brothers". Check it out and let me know what you think. I recommend reading "Betrothed" first to have full enjoyment of its sequel, but it isn't entirely necessary.
When I'm not making art for myself or doing comics, I'm doing commissions, entering contests, and offering prizes and adoptables.
Thanks for visiting my page!

You are awesome.
Hello Nala! I have a question about your commissions. If I commission a sketch, would I be allowed to line and color the sketch myself? Still crediting you of course.
Absolutely! So long as you have permission first (or otherwise let me know your intentions up front), I'm always happy to do a commission like that for you.
Ooo wonderful! When i get paid, I'll defo consider a commission!
Hey Nala, can I use Kanenne’s name for my version of Mohatu’s mate?
Sure! That's fine with me. I appreciate you asking. For future reference, nobody owns names, but since it is for your version of Mohatu's mate (and mine is also named Kanene), that's where permission is important. Just giving you kudos where it's due. 
Also, Kanene's name is from Kikamba, a language spoken in the southern and south eastern countries of Africa. In Kikamba, "kanene" means "large" or "big". I mention that because I had found incorrect information saying it was a Swahili name, and it is actually not. XD So there ya go!
Please link me to some art of your character Kanene if/when you draw her. I'd love to see!
Thx! And I will, I’m currently working on a thousand reference sheets for a comic I’m planning on making.
