More Secret Santa fanart

[hazelwillow.livejournal.com]

I've been enjoying the art that's gone up recently, and I wanted to share my own. So, after consulting my giftee...

*deep breath*

here are my two pictures. I'm kind of proud of of them because they're the first real fanart I've made. :) (Not counting the long-lost Harry Potter drawing I made when I was twelve). I don't know how to make art on the computer, so they're just photos of old-school paper.

I'd love any comments or feedback. :)

Hope the image posting/lj cut works. 

Enjoy!

The Lion {King} of Sounis?

[booksrgood4u.livejournal.com]

Hello Sounisians!

So, the other day, I was just about going insane from gluing tiny triangles for a homework project with the song 'Hakuna Matata' stuck in my head, and a strange thought occurred to me: 

I started thinking that Sophos is not all that different than Simba.  They both were made to feel like a dissapppointment and a failure and had the oppurtunity to escape responsibilities forever.

Simba could have stayed in Hakuna Matata-Land forever, just as Sophos could have had a relatively carefree life in Hanatkos fieldhouse. 

But both Simba and Sophos chose, (with various amounts of persuasion) to return to the people (or lions) who needed a leader.

It wasn't until after all these revelations that I remembered that Sophos, as a king, became known as the  'Lion of Sounis.'  I thought it was kind of funny. :D

Anybody see any other similarities?
