Description

An oldie, but it was fun to draw so I'm keeping it for now!

_____________________________________________


Okay, my watchers are probably a little tired of seeing this painting, I had to add more: unicornarama.deviantart.com/ar… ! I originally just had the center three after The Force Awakens came out, but I decided to add in Hux and Poe after seeing The Last Jedi.

From left to right: Poe Dameron and BB-8, Finn, Rey, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, and General Armitage Hux all drawn in the style of Disney's The Lion King.

I feel like Kylo's design is the most successful. Not to brag, but I feel like I actually managed to (sort of) get his facial features into a lion's face! I'm so proud, lol. I like how Rey turned out, but unfortunately I was rather limited what with lionesses not having manes. I feel like Hux is visually the weakest of the set. I just couldn't get the outline value and lighting right. I generally do more polished cartoon styles, so this is something new to me. Maybe when I have more patience I'll give Hux another shot!

If you're about to pull the race card and tell me I'm racist because I only based Finn off of his skin color, sorry, but that's not true. Actually, every single one of them (expect Kylo) is based in some form or fashion off of the actors' complexions, with some exaggeration to make them more obviously different from one another. Kylo Ren is the exception because obviously Adam Driver does not have gray skin. I based him off of his clothes, but I did keep his hair color.

Anyway, I had fun doing this, and I hope you at get a laugh out of it! :D
