Description ...hey, shut up, I needed to take a break from getting my tail handed to me by Sephiroth for the upteenth time. Damn you for not letting me use Drives, you damn cheat!

Oh and FYI, I'm aware that this is about as clever an idea as pairing Axel and Roxas. Bah to you. and hey, it gave me the excuse to pull out my old 'How To Draw The Lion King' book and Google up cheetah photos.

And Riku screenshots.

And Riku doing pony play with Ansem*.

Internet is weird.



*ixnay on the poilers-say, folks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who pictured Riku as being a cheetah in the Pride Lands, and not a white lion. Lovely picture, by the way.

Tell you what, i pictured him as a white tiger. Because i said: "Why not? It fits him as a tiger!" Amazing picture!

Oh my God, a fellow Zoider? FOR REAL? Zoiders are a dying breed!!

Haha, you're welcome~ Cheetahs are my favorite big cat, and they seem to match Riku's personality better than a lion.

I better be a Zoider, how else can I explain the dozen or so toys I have stashed away?

And yeah, pretty much with you there as well (re: Riku as a cheetah). The way I see it, Donald and Goofy weren't made lions, so there's no logic for why every single one of them would be turned into a lion if they were in the Pridelands. And cheetahs are awesome, soooo.

ShadowRebirth37 In reply to kompy [2011-10-16 15:53:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha, same here. I've got like fifteen stuck up on shelves.

Yeah, that's my logic too. It'd be boring if they were just all lions! Not to mention the elegant, stealthy and lithe cheetah just works better for Riku than a lion would.

Cheetahs are amazing. They're my favorite big cat alongside cougars.

I never thought about drawing Riku or Kairi as other African animals, that's kewl. I love the pic, though I think his eye is a bit big for the style.

kompy In reply to vampyra142001 [2007-01-06 06:05:01 +0000 UTC]

Hrm, you've a point about the eye, now that you mention it...think I corrected that in the newer pic (or at least his hair obscures enough of it you can't tell), though that could just be me assuming things.

Still, though, thanks!

Dangit, everyone can do Disney style but me.... :/ He's gorgeous! I lurve cheetahs, have no clue who you're talking about and only barely know what game you're playing, due to me not having a console. Anyway, very pretty.

kompy In reply to lethe-gray [2006-04-23 19:47:42 +0000 UTC]

I cheeeeeeated, I used reference to the TLK version of a cheetah (it was in the book!) and played around with that.

For the record, the game in question is Kingdom Hearts 2 and Riku there would be the rival/best friend to Sora, the protagonist. At one point in the game you get to visit the Lion King world (Pride Land) and are turned into an adorable dark-furred lion cub. This would be me doing a 'what if?' with his friend if he were ever in Simba's neck of the woods...err, savannah ^^

Hope that clears things up... ._.;

XorokimamMiho [2006-04-23 15:52:17 +0000 UTC]

he's really very nice XD i always imagined him as something like a cheetah or a white lion ^^

oh and if you'd like some help with Sephy, it's best to be at level 90-99...which isn't too hard to get to if you battle Nobodies from Nothing's Call all the way to the top of the tower, just don't fight Ansem

dunno if you needed that info, but yeah

you should also get your Ultima Weapon and/or Final Form Drive....i didn't get my final drive ;_; dunno why, but i had the Ultima Weapon and then beating Sephy was a cakewalk XD just heal and use your Trinity


....ok i'm done you probably didn't want that

i love your piccy though, you shoult try drawing Cheetah Riku and Lion Sora together now XD

kompy In reply to XorokimamMiho [2006-04-23 19:34:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Current plan is to stick to tradition (as in, the first game) and try to own the jerk with just Oblivion. Final Form, though, that I'm- gonna be gettin', yesh (well, already do and got Glide as my Growth ability to boot!). I'm currently in my 70s...aaaand last time it was at around 84. Meethinks THAT tradition'sd living on, too O_o


So just to be on the safe side, you mean lion Sora and cheetah Riku together as in platonic friendship or the kind half the internet tends to favor? >_>

XD anything...they're best friends

i like the yaoi but i need a break from it every once in a while

them challenging each other all the time is fricken hilarious cause Riku ALWAYS wins

Too right! I like a bit of subtext in my games as much as the next gal, but sometimes it can be too much. It's getting to the point where I wonder if there's even such a thing as heterosexual KH pairings in picture form in the internet!

Back to the idea, though...*tempting*. Even have a scenario playing in my head already.

(Lion!Sora) Hey Riku, race ya to Pride Rock?
(Cheetah!Riku) You sure you ought to? I currently am the fastest land mammal in the world, you know.
(Sora) True, but I betcha you won't be able to learn how to walk on all fours on time.
(Riku) And I betcha I could have only one foot and still make you eat my dust!
(Sora) ...heeey!

....ehh, see, this is why I stick to fanART rather than fanFIC. But I digress.

XD!!!! that's hilarious...i'd love to see a comic strip of that

and no i don't think there IS any such thing as Hetersexual pairings in KH...but that's ok cause all the guys in the game are hot XD so they can get away with it...


<--wants to see Lion Sora eat Cheetah Riku's dust bwahahahaha
