Whoa, that would have been another great idea for that contest. I don't think I recognise the "Thursday next" books, but this makes sense even without knowing the books it's based on.
Blöh, it's png. I haven't figured out an easy way to save DeviantArt .png files on my computer, they always get saved as a blank image. Oh, well. *goes searching for the correct file in temporary internet files folder*

Dude! This is sooooooooooo good!!! I loove this!! The Lion King Rocks! And So does The Lion King 2 too!!!!O_O I was amazed! The sequal was just as awesome as the first one!!!

Ah yes, Thursday Next...I could go on and on about that series of books. I could also point out a thread about it that I started on Lilymud, but unfortunately, it has died again.

It's basically an incredibly brilliant series of books by Jasper Fforde staring a woman named Thursday Next. It's hard to really say what genre these books belong to. There's a bit of sci-fi, a bit of fantasy, a bit of mystery, adventure and romance, and the amount of topics and subplots the author manages to lump together is just astounding. There's parallel universes, space-age technology, time travel, vampires, werewolves, reengineered species (thylacines, great auks, dodos*), apocalypses, an evil multinational corporation, a whole new universe inside books...everything I could ask for in a series and more. It all seemed too good to be true at times.

The only problem with these books is that after reading them, you might find books written by authors that were compared to Jasper Fforde a bit...well...dissatisfying. For a while, I was frustrated and confused as to why I didn't like Terry Pratchett's novels when I first read a fair number of them (since I like fantasy and one or two authors that have been compared to him). But when I asked around at the Fforde Fforum, everyone that responded to my query admitted to feeling disappointed if they read Pratchett's novels AFTER reading Jasper Fforde's novels. I feel so much better now.

Sure, Vitani is nothing like Thursday (the only similarities being that Thursday has two older brothers, one of which died tragically, and admits that she is "no beauty"), but the concept of Tanabi being "eradicated" and Vitani consequently being thrust into a strangely different parallel reality was too good a crossover opprotunity to pass up (Someone very close to Thursday is eradicated in the TN series).


*Thursday has a pet dodo, hence the presence of one in this drawing. They say "plock" in her world.

Ha that actually made me laugh out loud, my mum was looking at me like wtf?
And I was like, "This lion king thing about tanabi and vitani!" And she was like "...............okay..................."

Even thought it's funny it's also sad in some odd way I dunno why

I really, really wish Disney had kept two cubs, like in the original script for SP. I think it would have made the film more interesting, though I guess then it would have been about sibling rivlarly instead of Romeo/Juliette.

It drives me nuts that Nala's eyes "turned" blue.

I acctually like Nala 2 in your style- and yes, Simba is WAY fatter in the 2nd movie, and Nala is chunkier too. Nala 1 probably died and they got a different actor x3
