Mali by Dreiis on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I simply had the URGE some days ago to do a fake screencap of Mali heavily based/edited on this same Simba Screencap from the first movie, so hey, here's the young lady!

In this scene Mali was probably intercepted by her aunt, Bora - who usually is the one who accompanies Mali whenever her parents are not present, but sometimes she forgets and rush ahead.

Something I like the most about Mali's design are the characteristics she inherited from her family members, Simba and Maliha's head tuft and ear rims, Nala's irises and discolored paws, Kovu's small pupils and "eyeliner", Vitani's nose and Kiara-like face build (although Mali's are leaner compared to Kiara's).
