pridelands

Update!

What’s up everyone?! I know it’s been really quiet in here, but we’ve still been hard at work. At first we wanted to surprise you all, but I’ve been reading this book called “Show Your Work” by Austin Kleon and it was really insightful. We decided to make Pridelands into an immersive comic containing 3 elements: Illustration, Animation, and Voice Acting. You would read the panel like a normal comic book, but there will also be a voice actor delivering a less abbreviated version of...

Kopa

The forgotten King. Playing around with his hairstyle and outfit. For thise who don’t know, Kopa is a character in the book series called The Lion King: Six New Adventures. He is Simba and Nala’s son. His original haircut looks like the image in the right, but I’m trying to figure out if I should switch it up a little. I’m taking influence from Killmonger (s/o to Chase) and Trunks (from Dragon Ball)

Love feels Goofy

Can’t believe I waiting so long to draw these two 😅

Kovu Final

Testing out Patreon's new direct upload system! Gotta get on Kiara soon to finish this up. Thank you once again for your support!

Killmonger and T’Challa

What’s up everyone? Here’s a sneak peak of an idea that a couple of you all have been asking me about. What would Killmonger and Black Panther look like in the “Pridelands” style. Let me know what you think!

Kiara and Kovu

#Duet edit of the young couple...

Now to the clean up and color stage 😭😭😭

Kovu Rough

We see why Kiara was givin them eyes lol 

Percy Rough WIP

Rough Animation of Percy. He was introduced early in the story but this should give you more of an idea of the type of energy he brings.

Kiara WIP

Work in Progress of a 2 part animation for a old tiktok trend. We thank you for your support and patience as we traverse this universe we call PRIDELANDS.

Simba and Baloo

What’s up everyone? This drawing is in reference to Book 2 Part 4 page 7.

Look 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have no words

Pridelands Book 2 Part 4

The time has come! I'm really excited for you all to read this one. If you thought things got real before, you have no idea. Ashlea did her thing! Let us know what you think.

Lucifer

If you don’t recognize him, he’s the annoying cat from Cinderella. The team had a great meeting on Saturday and wait till you see where the story goes. He’s related to a very important character in the story. Can you guess?

Let’s get into it

Here are some storyboards done by Johnny aka @johnnystorm803 These help to set the mood and set the tone for the final drawings. He’s great at capturing the emotions with lighting and just enough detail

Pridelands Full Cast (So Far)

What's up everyone? Here is an image you can download with all the Pridelands characters that have been created so far. Enjoy!

Rolly

He’s playing Fortnite of course. Please don’t expect me to draw 98 more Dalmatians. Please 😂

Kopa?

What’s up yall? Are you guys familar with Kopa? He is supposed to be Simba and Nala’s first born son. He appeared in a book series that came out shortly after the first movie. When the Lion King 2 was being created, the creators were not aware of the book series which is why Kopa is non-existent. Many people don’t believe the books are “canon”. What do you think? Should Kopa make an appearance in the Pridelands or would that be too confusing. Lmk your thoughts!

Khan

Idk why, but I think he’s my favorite character. I feel like he’s receiving some bad news

I lowkey think these characters can carry a story all on their own. If you haven’t gotten your character requests in make sure to leave a description on the corresponding post!

Upendi

Kovu and Kiara got the most votes on the instagram poll. Still working on the other batch of characters. Also, working on picking the right colors for this. Color theory is not my forte 😅

Let me know if you have any suggestions for what you all would want. i just added a few to start off. I might also be able to upload a photoshop file of the line work for certain characters so let me know

I need your help!

What’s up everyone! If you were an animal in the PL story, what animal would you be? I need some background characters so why don’t I make them you all. Feel free to leave a comment or send a message

Example: Lion; male; nerdy
