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! 😂

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

There's a recent trend on the internet where you color kids' coloring pages. I think it's kind of silly, really, but I do love The Lion King! The story is actually quite good and from an artistic standpoint, the music and animation are outstanding.

Illustrative Portraits

Hey, y'all! I just finished two character portraits.

Title: Aerus Ayatomukoshio

Aerus is one of my own characters. He's a Romulan from Star Trek. The gist of his story is that he defected from the Empire and joined the Federation, hence the melding of the two symbols in the background. If you're a true nerd, you know what I'm talking about. ;)
I'm well aware of the anotomical errors but seeing as I have more important things to work on, I may or may not get around to fixing this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title: Rhys

This is my idea of Rhys from Gail Carson Levine's The Two Princesses of Bamarre. I always find it a little sad that he isn't on the cover, considering that he played such a large role in the story (and he's just awesome), so I decided to give him a little recognition.

Do you still wanna marry him, Allie?
