Malka Ref Sheet (Original Art)
Aaannnddd here we are! The last ref sheet for the Friendly Five. (Technically I have a secret 6th ref sheet but y’all don’t get to see that until later-). As usual, all the text below this point was copy and pasted from the original Deviantart post.
I’ve made him the biggest of the Friendly Five, an absolute unit of a lion. He’s tall and brawny and his mane grows all the way down to his belly and up his sides. We love that for him.
I like to think that Malka, like Tama, came from outside of the Pridelands. Unlike Tama though, he doesn’t come from a rogue bloodline. He’s the prince of a neighboring pride that the Pridelands has an alliance with. I like to think that Malka ends up essentially being kept as a political prisoner by Scar, to ensure the obedience and cooperation of his home pride. And so, as a consequence, Malka ends up growing up in the Pridelands during Scar’s reign.
