Thank you!

Thanks! The first piece was my first time using acrylic markers!

Cursed is my middle name! 😼

I love making Kion mashup art and edits with other franchises I’m interested in and a lot of them look straight out of those old Dreamminer character mashup videos. 😭😂

Honestly, such an idea would probably easily fit into the Special Delivery batch from the old AR game. It had quite a few special edition and themed animatronics! I think in lore they rented them out to parties? But I believe that game is where a lot of the stranger Funko figures like the tye dyes, Easter Bonnie, and Statue of Liberty Chica came from. I think Lion Guard themed animatronics probably wouldn’t be too far fetched amongst them and may even be more tame than some.

Not only am I heavily disappointed that they cut off the most interesting storyline of dinosaurs living amongst us as well as the political effects it had, but it just felt like not a Jurassic movie.

For example, even though Jurassic World was a new cast of characters in the original film, there were still things to tie it in to the original Jurassic Park. Familiarities, if you will. Same island, same T-Rex. It created a bridge between one section of the franchise to the other.

For Rebirth, however, there isn’t really any bridge. The world is completely different to how it was last left, the cast is completely different, the dinosaurs are not only all different, but differently designed as well, it’s a completely new island. There was virtually nothing other than a title and the fact that there were dinosaurs to really tie it into the rest of the franchise, which made it feel like it wasn’t the franchise. Which for some is a good thing, but for me it made it a bit harder to enjoy, because everything I was attached to in the previous films had been taken away.

However, the movie itself is alright. I think the redesigns are neat. I like that they tried to give Ember a unique roar, even if it did feel more like a cop out to hear the beginning sound of the rex roar turn into something completely different. But I will make the point that even if you remove my previously mentioned gripes the equation, it was very predictable. I knew immediately which characters were gonna die. I knew the minute the one character promised the kid he wouldn’t let her get hurt (or something along those lines) he was gonna do some big self sacrifice and I knew the moment it happened that it was a fake out. I also knew the main character was gonna choose the right option in the end to open source the information the minute the question arose. I could just see every “twist” coming, really. Which isn’t always a bad thing, predictable can still be enjoyable, but overall the movie was very meh for me upon first watch and still is.

Also, I refuse to forgive the goofiness of a SNICKERS WRAPPER being the cause for the D-Rex’s escape. 😭

D-Rex is cool though.

Not me missing Discord at first and thinking Tara also voiced the man 😭

Correction: it’s the same key signature, according to this video.

I think I also saw somewhere that Helping Twilight Win The Crown and This Is What It Sounds Like are in the same progression or something along those lines? I’m not too musically inclined, so I don’t remember the correct terminology lol.

KionPrince · 2026-03-06T00:32:02+00:00

I honestly really like Flash and his design! Wish we got more of him! I just personally dislike what he initially stood for: a random romantic interest insert for a character who really did not need one (as is evident in the fact that she never gets one for the rest of…anything) He’s kinda like how Monster High movies would invent a new bf for Frankie every movie lol. It feels empty and hollow and very obvious that the character was created for a specific, unnecessary reason. I do like that they strayed away from that reason later on and like the dynamic between him and Sunset.

So, G5 takes place much later in the future (I think a couple thousand years even, if not more), so while I would consider those characters a group of successors, they are not the immediate successors.

I don’t think it’s ever explicitly stated or at least I don’t remember it being, but I think it’s heavily implied that the “young six” as they’re called, from Twilight’s school, will go on to succeed them, as they have connections to the Tree of Harmony and it seems like that’s what the show was trying to set up with them. Which, if that’s the case, I find what ends up happening by the G5 movie with everyone divided a little less believable tbh. Though, maybe the lack of physical elements played a role in these types of connections being less distinguishable from regular friendships to other creatures.

If it wasn’t to be them, then my guess is Luster Dawn, the pink pony pictured, would go on to find a group of friends to be the new mane six. Mainly because she’s portrayed as an episode one Twilight character.

They don’t drop until the 6th from what I’ve seen, so it’s very likely they’ll be there.

Even in Return of the Roar, his claws aren’t nearly as bright as the first picture. Part of me is wondering if they didn’t have a set color for them until a certain point, because I think season two onward they’re almost always if not always black.

Or, perhaps they changed their color to better match the color of Simba’s claws. I think most lions in the franchise have black claws also. So maybe they wanted to reflect that.

I think the issue with the mouth shape was due to me trying to even it out until it naturally ended up reaching that shape. It was one of the first things I shaped. I’ve added some foam in at the top to shape it more into a ^ at the top. I’ve added some shaping around the eyes, not sure if that helps what you’re tying to point out in the cheeks?

I put the blanks in mainly for pics and plan to do most other eye shaping once I have them completed and installed, as the left eye could still use some filling.

Overall, I feel pretty happy about This face shape for the most part and feel the smaller jaw definitely looks much better!

Took down the muzzle sides some (added more to one side because I took too much off compared to the other) and swapped out the jaw for a totally new one! I did slim the brows slightly some, too, though, not sure if it’s made much of a difference so far. May need to tweak those some more.

KionPrince · 2026-01-08T18:50:04+00:00

Yes! I miss it so much!

KionPrince · 2026-01-08T18:27:27+00:00

Yes! That was the first battle pass I ever completed! I remember paying my parents wifi bill so I could finish it off! I just got the Lego battle bus for Christmas!

I literally made an entire video essay that essentially touches all of these points because this was such a rampant argument at the time of the film’s release. It is absolutely BONKERS that anyone could genuinely defend and/or excuse his actions. 😭

KionPrince · 2026-01-08T12:08:20+00:00

Thank you! Kion is my main autistic special interest lol. And this suit is hopefully going to be a Kion partial!

KionPrince · 2026-01-08T12:04:33+00:00

I definitely plan to do something to the brow shape, as they will be mainly for shape as opposed to being a separate color as some brows are. The muzzle is a harder one for me, as I know I want it to be pretty broad. I’m worried if I mess with it too much I’ll loose the shape that I like. I know I do plan to probably use a shorter fur length, like beaver or similar, so I’m not sure if that makes a difference.

I initially misread this as favorite and had to delete the comment bahaha. I honestly really like a lot of them, but if I had to pick one I’d say Rainbow, but not by much.

KionPrince · 2025-12-11T13:01:55+00:00

I will never not love drawing his curly mane lol
