Captain wat r u doin

I wanted to draw something VERY SILLY. I've been on kind of a Star Trek kick and I was thinking: You know what I haven't drawn in a while? Somebody as a LION! 

You see, back in the pre-deviantart days I was part of a Lion King fanart website and to stay on topic we had to upload big cats, lions, african animals, that sort of thing. So if we wanted to draw fanart it had to fit into those categories. As soon as I discovered DA I ditched TLKFAA because I was so darned tired of drawing lions but every once in a while I just get the hankering for auld lang syne. I love how absurd it is. 

The funny thing is, the Lion King crowd remains the very best online community I've ever been in and a lot of my fellow fanartists went on to become professional artists and illustrators. I have no idea what it was about the Lion King, but it produced some good peoples.
