#ihopesocontest

Decided to throw my hat into the I Hope So character contest, since, hey I’ve got a lion character sitting on my shelf collecting dust. Came up with him when my friends and I were thinking up funny lion names a while back. Everyone loved his name, so I ended up drawing him.
This here is Manemane. He’s a sweet, gentle, maneless lion, who just likes lounging about. His lioness friends do all the hunting and patrolling, because Manemane’s pretty useless at survival. He’s plagued with awkwardness, watery eyes and sniffles. But his perpetual allergies do have one advantage - his sneeze is loud enough to scare off any rival male. He’s otherwise pretty terrible at being a lion, but when he’s with his friends he feels like he’s the King of the whole savanna.
