I've never done Disney characters before, much less ferals, but here we are! I actually had the male looking like Mufasa, but the commissioner didn't want that. :) The male also has the horns, and coloring of a WoW tauren druid, or that's what I remember the horns being like. The female was to look like Nala for the most part.
And totally.. I used a ton of Lion King images for reference. Omg.. so many. @.@
It's for :iconNorthlion: and his friend. I think it's technically a transformation pic, but at the very end, after the changes are complete.
Done in Sai, with tweaks in Photoshop, over two days.
