Hey guys! Ice here to show you how to make your characters look more accurate to the movie they came from. I'm sure plenty of you have witnessed Simbas with manes that are way to neon orange, and I've seen a few sun-tanned Kiaras as well X3
To start with you need to google an image of the character you are creating.
Here we have miss Nala:
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120409202809/disney/images/b/b4/Tlkscreenshots_act3_34.png)
Open the image in a photo editing software such as GIMP or Photoshop.
Using open the color selector and use the eyedropper tool to pick a color on the image.

Using the RGB coordinates, match them to your character on Feral Heart.
Normally I go a little higher on each one because the scene from the movie may be in a shadow.
Then you just have to adjust the build of the character. For female TLK lions I slide the muzzle all the way to the left and males about 3/4 to the right. Males I also bring the chin further right. Usually I put the ears at 3/4 to the right as well and the eyes all the way to the right.
In my opinion the normal eyes look best for TLK charries
Here is my finalized Nala:
