Replying to @✨🇵🇸Nala Queen✨🇵🇸 #greenscreen THEY WERE SO FUN TO DRAW! Research told me that sometimes the himba people use ash mixes on their skin/hair too. That’s usually for cleaning purposes, but I thought, hey… what if we combined that with the clay to make a more gray/black color-scheme? The headdress is only worn by adult women, to show they’re of marrying age, so each sister got one. In my research some were more intricate than others+paired with more jewelry, but bc more beads/details are fun to draw, I made them lean more intricate than not. I also tried to make the girls look a bit like their voice actresses! I don’t know how well that came across, but I tried! Finally, Himba women don’t cover their chests, but for terms of service on this app I had to draw quick coverings for them. The non-censored versions will be up on insta, tumblr, twitter, and deviantart. #thelionking #lionking #mufasa #mufasathelionking #kiros #whitelion #akua #amara #humanization #characterdesign #characterart #digitalart #fanart #disney #disneyart #disneyfanart
