Description Inspired by the Billy Joel song of the same name: youtu.be/fo_vn_Ilsu8

Ever since I was very young, I always got this "Lion King" vibe when listening to this song, so I decided to go along with that idea when drawing this.
I've envisioned a big musical number with this song, with Marilyn breaking into song as the lead voice and the various wild animals as her backup singers.
Meek just follows behind her uncertain of what to make of all this.

Dude, I would never have the patience to color in THIS MUCH, props man. The coloring is consistent too, doesn't look rushed. Nice.

...oddly reminds me more of "Upendi" than "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"...; besides, that whole album precedes The Lion King barely by a year. 

Ever figure out how the song would fit into Marilyn's context, considering what the song itself is actually about?

Marilyn Shine looks like she's having a fun time.

P.S. How are you on working on dynamic perspective and stuff like that?

nerdsman567 In reply to DerekB9Aura [2014-04-02 20:26:06 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you think so!

To be honest, I'm not really that concerned about working on dynamic perspective. As long as I can get my ideas out on paper, that's all I really care about.

No hard feelings on that one. As long as your working on improving your style at your pace, I'm cool with it.

I read the title and actually thought about a Le Cirque Du Soleil connection (It says The River of DREAMS.). Still, amazing song and drawing (You can not beat Billy Joel, after all.). Keep up the good work.
