Does all anthro looks like Disney?

The Old King
Medium: digital painting
Experimenting with brushes in Photoshop. :)

I recently posted this on DeviantArt, and the first comment said it reminds them of Simba from The Lion King. I don't understand, though, because I based this off of real life lion reference photos. I didn't give him eyebrows, eye rings, or even remotely human-like eyes. The eyes are lion eyes. The proportions and structure are real life lion anatomy, not based off of Disney. He's not even colored like Simba. It's only mildly anthropomorphized with a furrowed brow and downturned mouth. I'm curious what reminds people of Simba. I wonder if it's just because he's a lion with a facial expression. My friend on DeviantArt doesn't know why it reminds him of Simba, either, lol! 😂

Non-Verbal Learning Disorder

NLD
Medium: oil on canvas

An oil painting depicting non-verbal learning disorder. NLD people are very literal, so much so that others often misunderstand them by reading unintended meaning into their words. To an NLD person, understanding normal human speech is like constantly trying to crack a code. Interacting is exhausting, and while many NLD people truly love others, they usually need significant amounts of time alone to “recharge.” NLD people often hold views which many people consider to be contradictory because of the associations normal people make with those views. However, NLD people look at the views themselves rather than what people generally associate with them, and thus their views are not contradictory at all, but rather complimentary, like the colors in the painting.

Deer Skull Drawing

Deer Skull
Medium: graphite pencil
Before anyone asks, I didn't kill the deer. It was just an available object to draw. I don't know anything about its past.

Official Disney-Pixar Fan Art Contest

I'm Done Being Scared
Medium: digital painting
This is my entry for the official fan art contest for Disney-Pixar's new movie The Good Dinosaur, which is hitting theaters November 25, 2015. Watch the trailer!

I went for a different style this time. I wanted it to look a bit like a child's drawing, simple, and easy to understand at a glance. Basically, I wanted it to look like something you might find in a children's book.

PowerPoint!

Okay, so I like to collect Schleich animals, especially the horses. Apparently that's a crime for someone my age? LOL Come on, everyone has their pointless hobbies!

Desktop Wallpaper

I just finished one of my first desktop/wallpaper designs. It's free to use, but seeing as I made it, my signature must be left on it. Just click on the image to view it larger, then save it onto your computer to use as a background.

Next to Normal

Kristen Hall's Next to Normal poster concept
I was entered in a poster contest for Center Stage of South Carolina's new musical, Next to Normal. Naturally I did not win, but that's just the story of my life. LOL

 The winning poster was very cute (although cuteness has nothing to do with the plot and overall emotion of Next to Normal). The emotional impact of the winning poster was one of endearing childlike innocence and it was crafted so that it looked like it was made out of a small child's building blocks and cartoon sketches. Very cute! I will post it here once the finished version is available. :)




Plot of Next to Normal: (SPOILER ALERT) Next to Normal revolves around a distraught and broken family. The main character is the mother, who is a manic-depressive, Schizophrenic, fractured woman who hallucinates about her dead infant son who was born out of wedlock. She believes that the son has grown up and is a young man. Her daughter feels rejected and "invisible" and therefore turns to drugs. The husband, who is trying to hold the house together, begins to feel the strain of holding together a family that is pulling apart. He hallucinates and has emotional, confused breakdowns as well. Although the wife firmly believes that her son is still alive, the husband knows he is dead and refuses to say the son's name. The story ends with the mother leaving the family and the father recognizing his hallucination.  The story does not have a happy ending although it is poignant and does have some resolution. Center Stage has “cleaned up” the script, although they still aim it at a PG-13 audience.
