Goodbye Nuka

DOWNLOAD FULL VIEW

Everyone gathered to say goodbye to Nuka. He, along with Chaka and Shani, had grown from cubs to young adults. At this age, male lions other than the king would leave the Pride to create a Pride of their own. Chaka however, being future king, didn't have to. Shani and any other lioness had the choice of going with Nuka, but that rarely ever happened when a male left, as it was a sign of doubt towards the rouge-to-be.

Everyone said their goodbyes, and wished Nuka good luck and safe travels. Nuka nuzzled his mother last and said goodbye before heading down Pride Rock and setting out on his own.

Well there you go people, young adult designs for the 3 cubs. (Not that Shani looks all that different) I had so many different designs for Chaka, but I wanted him to have somewhat of a similar mane like his dad Kovu, so he's got the big hairtuff, his is just a lil droopyer/flatter. I dono. You guys can't say he looks like Simba anymore, they're different!!!!

And I LOVE how Nuka came out, mane and all. I thought he'd be hard, but my 1st attempt worked out fine I think so anyways...
