The Last Lion "Cover"

Postby Spockylass » Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:11 pm

Not sure this is Intermediate worthy, feel free to move it if it isn't! ^^; I was utterly slammed with art block while I was working on this, but I've put it together as best I could at the moment.

For a couple of months now I've tossed around the idea of a comic, about, quite obviously, the last lion. She forms a friendship with a Masai warrior, which causes problems, since killing a lion is everything to his tribe, even though the creatures are, in the story, supposed to be extinct.
Both characters lack proper names at the moment, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is more of an experiment, as I don't know how well I'd keep up with the story, but if anyone thinks they would read it and enjoy it, please let me know!

Wow...this is really nice. I, for one, would like to read this and see where it heads. It sounds very interesting.

What about Kimba or Sarabi they are my fave lion names to use ever
Trying to get back into roleplaying, haven't done it for a while. I like roleplaying wolves but they have to be realistic so no alpha beta delta and especially no healer ranks. I like big cats, horses, cats. I like roleplaying warrior cats. I don't play a lot with human characters unless they're shapeshifters or dragon riders.

So if you have a roleplay that needs more members send me a PM.

Thanks everyone! ^^

Sammy: Those are nice names! I assume they're for the lion, right? ^^

Koolkat: Those are nice, but I think they might be a bit too similar to The Lion King names. ^^;

Yes, but all the same, I'd rather choose a name that has a meaning that is significant to the story. ^^; Thank you for the suggestions though!

Jitu for the lion. Jitu means 'giant'.
For the human, Shujaa, which means 'warrior'.
