Lion Cubs

Awww MAN, TLK! It's been ages since I've drawn any of these folks. XD I think it came out pretty good, though, considering how long it's been since I've tried drawing cartoony lions and that I didn't use any references.

The two cubs in front are some ollllld characters of mine that I haven't drawn since 8th grade...nearly four years ago. They were never hugely important characters for me and I don't think they ever got posted anywhere until now, but I did have a brief streak of drawing and working with them for a while that year. Anyways, they're Kovu and Kiara's cubs; I don't remember what the girl's name was, but the boy was Kopa after his uncle...which reminds me, TLK fans, should I change that? I have to come up with a new one for the girl anyways, so why not find a more original one for him as well? Hmm.

The third cub is actually what inspired me to recall these old characters; I adopted the design from ~ALonewolf009. I call her Leena, meaning "softness", as she's an innocent and soft-hearted fella. She's a good friend of our needs-a-name female there (I'm thinking I may call her either Zuri, which means "beautiful", or Tameka, which means "a twin" since she and her brother are indeed twins...I'm not sure. I'm leaning sliiiightly towards Zuri because I like how it sounds a bit more, though; seems to fit the universe better) and I'm toying around a bit with the idea of her being a love interested for Mr. Kopa Junior there when they get older...I dunno yet, though.
