The Asian Guard

The Asian Guard
Medium: digital painting
In my next installment of the Lion Guard as animals from all the different continents, here is the Asian Guard! It's Fuli the blackbuck (the fastest), Beshte the Asian elephant (the strongest), Ono the tarsier (the keenest of sight), Bunga the Asian palm civet (the bravest), and Kion the tiger (the fiercest).

Asia is such a vast continent with so many different ecosystems that I almost feel like it should have several guards. Most of these animals are from India. I chose a blackbuck for Fuli because they're among the top ten fastest animals in the world (as in running from point A to point B.) She's a doe, so she's neither black nor a buck, but that's life. Kion is a tiger because, well, it's a tiger! Beshte is an Asian elephant because what else would he be? Bunga is an Asian palm civet because they are typically pretty solitary like honey badgers, and they can be very tough when they need to be, and because I thought his colors would transfer well. I had planned on making Ono a bird of prey, but then as I was doing my research I started reading up on tarsiers, and they have incredible eyesight. They have possibly the best night vision of many animals in the world, and their distance vision isn't half bad, either.

Rose Dragon

Rose Dragon
Medium: digital painting

Rose Dragons are gentle herbivores. They are secretive and are rarely seen, living in the most remote mountain forests. They have the magical ability to spread love. They live in pairs. They are associated with love and romance, and courting couples will often seek out a Rose Dragon as an omen of good fortune on their future marriage.

Although gentle by nature, they are capable of defending themselves and their homes. Their thorny claws, horns, and spines are very sharp and strong, and although they rarely flame, their fire is extremely hot.

Rose Dragons are most often seen in the springtime when young males collect red objects to decorate their dens. Once he's satisfied with his decor, he flies to high ground and fans his wings to spread his blossom-scented pheromones. Females can smell him from miles away, and those without mates will generally arrive to inspect his handiwork. If she's pleased with his den, the two mate for life. Rose Dragons lay a single egg once every 50 years.

Disney Princesses as my little ponies! I'll be drawing them all, hopefully, but these are just the ones I have so far.
