has a lion family, and she asked me to make mates for the cubs. These are the boys, mates for her cubs Kirza and Sitia, in this pic
[link]^_^ Tristan and Icarus. I usually name cubs names with meanings, but the first boy just
looked like a Tristan. And when I added the 'wing' markings on the other, I knew his name had to be Icarus.
If you know your Greek mythology, tell me the story of Icarus in your own words and you'll get a free character in the species of your choice!! characters are ~caitlin72's. Lineart is mine. Original image belongs to Disney ^-^
So basically him and his father were in prison...can't remember what for. Anyway, they collected bird feathers and bound them together with wax to make wings so they could escape where they were being imprisoned (on an island surrounded by water). So eventually they got them to work and flew away. However, while they were flying Icarus forgot his father's warning of. "Don't fly too close to the sun, for it will melt the wax on the wings and don't fly too close to the water, for it will wet the feathers." Icarus paid no heed to his father's cries and flew near the sun, wooping for joy, only for the wax to melt. He fell, plunging to his death in the ocean. His father lived with a heavy heart.
I hope that is acceptable.
I love Icarus' design btw.
Icarus one of my favorite designs too.
If it isn't too much trouble-could you maybe design a better version of "my character" Scar II? He is in two of my deviations, if you need references for colors and such.
Basically, he's the son of Nala and Scar (forced). I would love to draw him as I imagine him, but I have literally no artistic ability beside using bases. So, I was curious to see if you could draw him looking mostly like a pride-lander, but with Scar's nose and colors. I would also really appreciate it if you could give him a slightly stocky build-like Mufasa's.
Thank you so much! If it's too much, I understand. And if it is, I'll take anything you'll give me xD
