Pride of the Meadows

Finishedddddd finally. XD I'm really happy that all of the lions look reasonable together--usually I can barely manage two in the same picture, they just never look right. Anyway, this is the pride of lions known as the Meadowlanders--who rule the Meadowlands, fittingly. The Meadowlands are past the Outlands, but they curve around and border part of the Pridelands.

I drew this for my TLK story about Mheetu, Nala's cut-from-the-finished-movie brother. He's the pale cub with spots on the right. The King and Queen of the pride are up top, Filimbi is the dark-maned male and Madini is the gray female. Their son and Prince is the teenager cub beside Filimbi. They have a daughter, Hatari, the dark cub in the center.
The two lions in the bottom left are Mjanja (male) and his mate Kijani (female). They have a daughter named Nzuri, who is the bottom-most cub. The top right is Uchawi, the gold lioness and her son Kishindo, the chocolate-brown cub to her right. Kupata is the reddish-female behind her. The last two in the bottom right corner are Kitawi (foremost) and her twin sister Ngoma (behind).

:3 Enjoy!!
