I am really excited about the upcoming Lion King (favourite film ever) live-action adaptation and it ocurred to me that it would be nice to make my own version of one of the characters since I am always complaining about the remake designs.

I choose Scar, who ended up being really difficult. The design is way too different fron its real counterpart, too cartoony. I kept the colour pallette because I think that is what makes the contrast with the hero, even when there are no real lions with dark fur in nature. The body was also a problem, because even when he is supossed to be the younger brother he has this sickly / unhealthy look about him and it was difficult not to make him look old. I made two mane versions, one with more fluff, thicker, the other scarce. The eyes were the most important part, green with envy, should be really expressive.

Para terminar con algo de drama. Se me ocurrió que como la película tiene 2 tiempos (Simba chico - Simba grande). Podría verse el paso del tiempo en un aclaramiento de las patillas.
To finish with some drama. I thought that since the movie has 2 times (younger Simba - grown Simba). Scar could develop silver sideburns.
