:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:
SPOILERS from The Lion Guard's episode "Paintings and Predictions". Stop reading from this point on if you haven't seen the episode and don't want to know what happens at the ending beforehand. You have been warned!
 I salute you! 





So the episode itself wasn't that exciting, but what an amazing surprise they gave us with the ending twist. The FIRST ever canonical mention of Nala's father! La la la la 
That was way unexpected, though I wish they had given us a name. But a glimpse at how he used to look like as a cub is definitely welcome in the fandom, even if it was in one of Rafiki's paintings.

I just couldn't resist doing some fanart of him, so here's my interpretation of how he must have looked like. Basically I drew Kion, but I used the same colors as in Nala's dad's painting for his fur, and of course I gave him Nala's eye color as well :)
Additionally, I drew him falling down so majestically from a tree, just like in the painting. (Headcanon: Nala's father wasn't any good at climbing trees =P)
