Fuck yea terrible Lion King fandom
I really hope Beyonce isn't Sarabi.. from my point of view she isn't a very decent role model and gets on my nerves.

Eh. 

Is there truth to the Hugh Jackman thing? I'm seeing reports that it's not true...

See that’s why I can’t take things seriously and ask for confirmation. Otherwise I take it with a grain of salt. 

The suspense is killing me! I'm reading all kinds of reviews on the new Lion King preview and I'm dying to see it too!

Yup. Can’t wait. Even if it’s the first what, five minuets? 

It grinds me when people age their TLK OCs as their own age. I am pretty sure a sixteen year old lion would be pretty ancient looking. Same with a hyena. I could see it more with an Elephant, since African Elephants live long lives in the wild.

You shouldn’t let it bother you. We only ever hear them being called cub or young adult. I don’t think the fandom knows well enough to look into how to age their OC according to nature. 

Mind putting up on the blog as a warning "Need Brain Bleach on Hand" especially after Rhoadie's new postings. The one where it looks like she/her character because a sona is the person 75 percent of the time, is fucking the panther cub of another artist and saying she's redoing the comic where she is being raped by scar initially and then loves it to want more? Former rape victim, disgusted and loathe when it comes up a friend's fave's list, not my watch list. Faves of a friend list. *disgusted

Thing is, I don’t post those images here. Not unless they were stolen and edited fan art.

i looked up some jackal facts and it said that older pups actually stay to help their parents take care of the new pups, so chances are those young adults are from an older litter c:

Possible! They just seemed to be around the same age as Reirei. 

About drawing hyenas, I would say a key thing is to forget dogs. Keep their muzzles somewhat wide and square, triangular noses, big round belly (that's actually their digestive system, not fat), not perfectly pointy ears and rather small eyes (big eyes may make them look like Chihuahuas). Also tlk hyenas have 3 toes and very few spots. Hope this helps somehow!

^Good advice 

Heeey lets make a game where people design non lion but African species sonas? Think all we mostly lion artists could use training eh? (if still feline, stay away of lion faces everyone!)

Sounds like fun. I think we should flood the TLK fandom with non lion species anyways. With The Lion Guard it gives us ample ideas. They’ve already done some very adorable non lion species characters. 

Do you have any advice on drawing hyenas in the TLK/TLG style? Every time I try they come off looking more like weird chihuahuas than hyenas.

Hmm can’t say that I do. Except to look up some concept art and character model sheets. It’s sometimes fun to look at how the professional sketches them to get the idea of how to draw them. 

Speaking of non-lion OC's, I remember seeing a cute leopard-like OC styled in TLK/TLG, but I can't remember who it belonged to.

Sounds cute.
