Kopa and Vitani
Added 2022-01-24 07:01:01 +0000 UTCHey guys,
I felt like creating a fanart piece of Kopa and Vitani from the Lion King, since I've been inspired by the art of @kingsimba.art on Instagram, who draws a lot of The Lion King screencaps in her style and telling an alternate story of Kopa and Vitani instead of Kiara and Kovu from the 2nd movie.
Now, before there is any confusion about who Kopa is and what he has to do with Vitani: Kopa is the 3rd child of Nala and Simba, the first born son and more or less semi-canon character that only appeared in some old Disney picture books but never got featured in the movies or cartoon show "The Lion Guard". People speculate what happened to him and what caused him to never appear in any of the animated media, but the most popular theory (from my experience) is that he left Pride Rock to not interfere with his father's reign since mostly there can only be one male lion leader per pride and Kopa didn't want to fight his father, so he left. Anyways, the artist I was inspired by ships Kopa with Vitani, the daughter of Zira, making them both a couple of outlanders and therefore quite fitting. i could see this being a thing and just felt like drawing a little piece of fanart XD
Sorry for that wall of text but I truly hope you understand the whole thingy at least a little bit XD I personally am very happy with the outcome of this drawing, even if matching their fur colours was a little difficult for me. I dunno, not sure about Kopa's coat colour here. Anyways, feel free to let me know what you think about these two characters and this drawing!^^
