Description
Now available to purchase on Redbubble! www.redbubble.com/people/unico…Just in time for winter, here is the arctic continents' guard, the Arctic Guard! We have Kion the polar bear (the fiercest), Fuli the snowshoe hare (the fastest), Bunga the arctic fox (the bravest), Beshte the musk ox (the strongest), and Ono the snowy owl (the keenest of sight.)
I picked a musk ox for Beshte because they are strong and tough. I almost made him a reindeer, but I decided to go for an ox because they are stouter than reindeer, which works well for Beshte. Kion is a polar bear because they're big, fierce, and they're iconic for the polar/arctic regions. Fuli is a snowshoe hare because they are incredibly fast runners (or hoppers?) over land and snow. Unfortunately she probably wouldn't be able to take on an enemy animal in one-on-one combat, but who knows? Maybe this bunny has a black belt. For Ono, there were many arctic birds to choose from, among them eagles and skuas, but I settled on a snowy owl because they are known for having more powerful night vision than other birds. Bunga was tricky, as he always is, (what exactly is bravery in the animal kingdom?), so to pick an animal for him, I watched nature documentaries and watched to see which types of animals were more likely to put themselves in danger. A lot of animals do that, naturally, especially birds, but one animal that I noticed always running into chaotic situations was the fox. Foxes frequently brave battles between larger predators in order to snatch scraps of food. While there are undoubtedly other animals that can be considered brave, I liked the idea of having a fox in the guard.

It's a funny thing that polar bears did actually appeared in the show itself, alongside tigers.

Yeah, I really like how the Tree of Life has all ecosystems close by! Not that it’s physically possible, but it’s cool.

It is. Not to mention the distances some of the species had covered

Yup. Or where exactly the Tree even is! 😂 But I think Season 3 is my favorite season regardless. At least I liked it more than Season 2.

Me too. It might be in India

Can you do the Antarctic Guard? I wanna see Kion the leopard seal, Bunga the emperor penguin, Fuli the gentoo penguin, Beshte the humpback whale, and Ono the wandering albatross.

Nice!
You could have made Fuli an Arctic Wolf though, they are fast and can run for long distances
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
I could have, but hares are faster. Cheetahs can't run for long distances, so I went for pure speed.

Hmmmm, good point!

For Kion an artic wolf would be more matching
But all the others are VERY nice ideas
This is such a good idea it makes me want to draw them as well ^w^

Thanks! I'm hoping to get these designs on Redbubble so that people can buy shirts or stuff with them, but I need to figure out from the RB staff if I need to remove the logo or make any other changes for copyright reasons.

I would've thought Fuli would be the Artic Fox, but I suppose a rabbit is fitting since they're fast

Thanks! I do sometimes, but I'm so busy right now that I don’t even have time to make my own art...

Amazing. Feel like Happy Feet with different animals.

Nice and polar bears are fierce carnivores, they're like the lions of the Arctic.

Have you read Watership Down? Or seen Monty Python? NEVER underestimate the strength, courage and ferocity of the lagomorph!
Also, I would love to see Fuli and Bunga in their summer coats. I bet they'd look adorable!

Is the Antarctic Guard going to consist of seals and sea birds?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just combined both arctic and antarctic into this one, honestly...

What would it be next? The Farm Guard, Sky Guard or the Jurassic Guard?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Oh wow I actually thought of the Farm Guard long and hard myself! Kion would be a collie dog, Bunga would be a ferret, Fuli would be a calico cat, Beshte would be a bull, and Ono would be a duck. And for the antagonists, the hyenas would be coyotes, the jackals would be feral dogs, the crocodiles would be grizzly bears, the vultures would be turkey vultures (a species of vulture from North America), Ushari would be a cottomouth snake, and Mpishi the harrier hawk would be a red-tailed hawk.

This is awesome you ever thought about doing a dino guard ( With them as dinos)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yeah, I've had a lot of people asking for a Dino guard. It'll be a while, though, because I have so many other projects to do ahead of it.

The Ice Age Guard:
Kion the Smilodon (Fiercest)
Bunga the Cronopio (Bravest)
Fuli the Giant Cheetah (Fastest)
Beshte the Woolly Mammoth (Strongest)
Ono the Archaeopteryx (Keenest of sight)

huh, we have more in common than we thought.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and if go a little further,
janja , jasiri and the others cold be dire wolves.
the jackals could be gray wolves who were rivals with dire wolves.
zira and her family could be american lions.
balidi and makucha are giant jaguars.

oh quick idea ! ice age guard.
kion is a sabertooth tiger.
fuli is a giant cheetah , a type of cheetah the same size of a lion.
bhesthe is a wolly mammoth.
bunga could be a baby version of a prehestoric wolverine.
