Long ago, on June 24, 2013, I submitted my first concept of Viza on deviant art. Of course he was not my first Lion King OC, Mika was over a year or so before and Akili was say a month and a half older in terms of creation date, but Via is the character that has stuck with me, become a share of who I actually am. I pour myself into him sometimes, its a really close bond that I would never, ever ask to be broken. I am devoting much of my Weasyl account to him, as a means to show you guys how much he has grown throughout his life and how immensely in love with him I have fallen.

Am I a TLK artist? Yes, but only because at the moment that is the main thing I RP. I used to be a warrior cats' freak, though now I have somewhat gotten over that. Do I draw canon characters? No, never. I may have attempted to some time previously but drawing my OCs make me so much happier, it lets me develop my own style. I am definitely not against drawing canon, its just not my thing.

Right here is when I tried to be influenced my artists such as Mydlasphotographie, I was trying so hard to copy other styles that it looked pretty bad, not like I drew it. But it is a point in my life which I would like to share and so here it is. Viza was originally given to me by a friend named Talentha, the player of Adilah whom allowed me to play her final cub. Thank you so much Tal, you don't know how different my life would be without Viza. He helped me develop who I was as an artist, and lets me express so much.

Originally Viza was supposed to have a thick build, and was overall supposed to be a larger, more healthy looking lion. He was supposed to be cruel and merciless, dominating and would have had no regards for life. He was a brute the way I first imagined him, one who refused to love because he rather have power over those around him. Thankfully Viza was diverted from this course, I cannot truly see him as 'evil' anymore. Psychotic at times yes, but never truly evil. 

I believe this is the first batch of drawings I ever drew for Viza. I look back at them and laugh sometimes, but I just love to see how my ideas have changed and my way of art has developed. Idk, just something I wanted to share with you guys ^^. 

There will be more art tomorrow. Maybe one a day, or one every other day, will be submitted here. I need to organize my own files but yeah... xD here you go. Howy when she couldn't decide on a style and had to spend eight hours on just this.
