The Arctic Guard
Medium: digital painting

Just in time for the new year and winter, here is the arctic continent's guard, the Arctic Guard! We have Kion the polar bear (the fiercest), Fuli the snowshoe hare (the fastest), Bunga the arctic fox (the bravest), Beshte the musk ox (the strongest), and Ono the snowy owl (the keenest of sight.)

I picked a musk ox for Beshte because they are strong and tough. I almost made him a reindeer, but I decided to go for an ox because they are stouter than reindeer, which works well for Beshte. Kion is a polar bear because they're big, fierce, and they're iconic for the polar/arctic regions. Fuli is a snowshoe hare because they are incredibly fast runners (or hoppers?) over land and snow. Unfortunately she probably wouldn't be able to take on an enemy animal in one-on-one combat, but who knows? Maybe this bunny has a black belt. For Ono, there were many arctic birds to choose from, among them eagles and skuas, but I settled on a snowy owl because they are known for having more powerful night vision than other birds. Bunga was tricky, as he always is, (what exactly is bravery in the animal kingdom?), so to pick an animal for him, I watched nature documentaries and watched to see which types of animals were more likely to put themselves in danger. A lot of animals do that, naturally, especially birds, but one animal that I noticed always running into chaotic situations was the fox. Foxes frequently brave battles between larger predators in order to snatch scraps of food. While there are undoubtedly other animals that can be considered brave, I liked the idea of having a fox in the guard.

Kovu Horse

Lion King Horses: Kovu
Medium: digital painting

The Lion King has to be one of my favorite movie franchises of all time. I don't care if it's aimed at kids; I love it!

I wanted to experiment with a species...crossover?...and see what the Lion King characters look like as horses! I've seen TLK deer and wolves around, but I haven't come across horses, although there probably are some somewhere. So here is Kovu (from TLK 2: Simba's Pride) as a horse!

Kion Horse

Lion King Horses: Kion
Medium: digital painting

The Lion King has to be one of my favorite movie franchises of all time. I don't care if it's aimed at kids; I love it! Okay, yes, Kion is from Lion Guard, not Lion King, but same difference. It's the same universe.

I wanted to experiment with a species...crossover?...and see what the Lion King characters look like as horses! I've seen TLK deer and wolves around, but I haven't come across horses, although there probably are some somewhere. So here is Kion (Simba and Nala’s son) as a horse! He’s a colt here, but not a very, very young colt.

I guess since he's a horse, then he'd have the ...Neigh of the Elders.  ...  You know, somehow it's not as dramatic.

The Hobbit Meets The Lion King

Rises and Falls Like the Sun

"A king's time as ruler rises as falls like the sun." -Mufasa

The Lion King meets The Hobbit! I dug up this drawing that I started a little before the "Desolation of Smaug" came out. The shading was awful, so I decided to chuck all the shading and start over with just the lines. The linework is from a few years ago so it's not up to par with my more recent art, but I still wanted to finish it! From left to right: Tauriel, Thranduil, and Legolas. Yeah, I know Tauriel's not an actual Tolkien character and that Legolas wasn't in the book, but I still wanted to draw them. I draw what I want. ;D
