“Just Out of Reach”

This is soooo dumb HAAAAAA

The concept started out all pastel and sweet and lovey and dream-like, and then it turned into angst because of who I am as a person. Now they’re orbiting each other but unable to touch. Because Timon won’t let go of his heart AHHHHHHH

[artofcamrynperry]

I watched Stand By Me last night and it gave me ALL KINDS OF ED EDD N EDDY FEELS. 

So, of course, I had to do a crossover. xD

Hi there 🌿

We recently shared our story about escaping Gaza and trying to reunite as a family 🕊️

It's been an overwhelming journey, and we're doing everything we can but we could really use help getting our story seen 💔

If you feel like reblogging or sharing our story, it would mean the world to us 🌍

Thank you so much for your time 🙏

And sorry if this message feels out of place.

Grumbly old meerkat 😡

[artofcamrynperry]

I imagine Mya would go to Timon at the waterhole, where he went to take a bath, but he's just staring into the water with so many thoughts running through his head.

Will he be a good father? Can he be a father? Is he responsible enough?

Mya tries talking to him, and he gets upset due to all of the stress; he's excited, but also scared that he won't be a perfect father. But with the help of Mya, he regains his confidence, even adding in something snarky as he usually does.

But deep down... he's still scared. He just won't show it.

Thats pretty darn close to what happens!!

He’s more worried about being a father to meerkat pups specifically, rather than being a father in general though. Mya tries to remind him that he raised a lion cub (that became a KING, like hello?!) and a honey badger too, and they both turned out great. But he protests that those two are TOOOTALLY different than this situation. Basically, Timon has unresolved trauma and daddy issues lol

But yeah, you are pretty much spot on!!

[artofcamrynperry]

rereading the comic where Timon finds out Mya is pregnant, and I have so many thoughts in my head that I'm playing out 😂

TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS!!! 🤣

Omg I feel so guilty for never finishing that comic, but I was pregnant myself and SO DANG TIRED. And now I’ve got a toddler and I’m still tired. Just perpetually tired. Maybe I’ll try to draw the last two pages soon ☠️

“Smarmy Bastard” 😈

Don’t know if I want to punch him or smooch him. The cuteness aggression is overtaking me. 😤

Timon wears a mask.

Not one you can see or touch, but one forged from years of deflection, razor-sharp wit, and an exhausting need to never let anyone glimpse what’s underneath. He’s the funny guy, the fast-talker, the one who steers the conversation before anyone else can turn it against him. If he’s the joke, then no one can make him one. If he convinces the world that nothing matters, then maybe—just maybe—he can convince himself, too. Hakuna Matata was never just a philosophy; it was a survival tactic. A way to smile through the pain, to bury the past, to pretend none of it ever really hurt. Because admitting it did would mean facing the things he’s spent his whole life running from.

And Timon doesn’t stop running.

It’s all a performance, one he’s perfected through necessity. Because he learned a long time ago that vulnerability is a liability. It makes you a target. It means getting laughed at, left behind, forgotten. So, he does what he’s always done—he keeps the mask in place. He smirks. He quips. He dodges anything that gets too close to the truth.

Because if he’s laughing, no one else can laugh at him.

If he pretends he’s fine, maybe no one will look close enough to see that he isn’t.

But the mask isn’t just about self-preservation—it’s about control. Timon has spent his entire life making himself indispensable, shaping his relationships so that the people around him will need him. If he’s needed, he won’t be abandoned. If he’s the leader, the clever one, the one with all the answers (even if he’s making them up on the spot), then maybe—just maybe—no one will ever realize the truth:

That he is the one who can’t live without them.

But masks crack. And when Timon’s carefully crafted persona starts to slip, he’s forced to confront the one question he’s spent a lifetime avoiding—what happens if someone sees what’s underneath?

And worse… what if they don’t like what they see?

This is a story of deflection, deception, and the quiet ache of wanting to be loved for who you are—not just for the performance you put on. And once the mask comes off, Timon is left to face his greatest fear—was it ever really protecting him at all?

Just a goofy little promo for the fanfic I’m working on. But also, a parody of another piece of promo art for a show I’m a HUGE fan of—can anyone guess the show?? ❤️

So yeah, everyone likes to say that Timon (and Pumbaa) can’t hold their own in a serious story.

And you know what I gotta say to that?

Bet.

It’s coming.

I’ve crafted a story that ONLY Timon could work as the protagonist for.

The anti-hero, the redemption arc, the delicious comedy and tragedy of it all.

And dare I say it, a little romance. 👀

I’m so excited to tell this story, finally. It’s been sitting in my head for the better part of a decade.

But your girl is ACTUALLY MAKING IT, NOW!

hi you may or may not know me cuz we're in a server together on discord but omfg can i just say i abosolutely adore your art and the way you draw timon and his family just- timon is one of my biggest comfort characters and you draw him so well and it genuinely makes be happy stim

Hey there!! Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that you like my drawings. Timon is my comfort character too, and I am proudly happy stimming over him with you 🥹

[artofcamrynperry]

Just a self-portrait. My husband suggested that I draw a more “flattering” portrait of myself after he caught me drawing some really grotesque pictures of my pregnant body. Lol I thought they were really funny!!! But he’s right, I have got in my head a lot with body images issues lately, so drawing something where I’m depicted in a more flattering way was therapeutic. Plus, my baby shower outfit was hella cute *shrug*

[artofcamrynperry]

“Yee-Haw!!”

I just felt like doing a simple drawing of The Boys™ having some fun. It was a nice change of pace to have time for some personal art. 😊

If you are interested in seeing my process, I uploaded a speedpaint version of this drawing on my YouTube channel! ^.^ youtu.be/RINqcQnEoSg

Hope y’all enjoy!

“Hey, Come Back!!”

Just an evening Simba doodle 🥲

“Something Important” page 3

Timon is experiencing some big feelings, and he’s not quite sure how to process them all, yet. ;_;

—

Sorry it took me so long to get this next page uploaded. Growing a baby IRL takes a lot of energy. The fatigue is unreal.

In the next couple of pages, Timon will spill his guts about how he’s feeling and why. Stay tuned.

[artofcamrynperry]

“Something Important” page 2

Mya’s big news has knocked Timon off his feet! 🫠

—

I hope this makes y’all laugh as much as it made me 😭😂

Also, I guess I’m kind of using this comic to express myself a little and tell you all that my husband and I are currently expecting a little one of our own. Although, tbh, I think my reaction to finding out I’m pregnant was much more closer to Timon’s reaction! My husband was jumping for joy and I was just like O_o

I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and SO SO SICK!!! 🤢

Still struggling to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m going to be someone’s mother!! 🤣😭 So y’all are probably going to be seeing a lot of baby/family related content over the next several months in addition to this comic!

[artofcamrynperry]

“Something Important” Page 1

Mya has some important news to share with her family, and Timon feels pretty nervous. 👀

—

This started out as some stream of consciousness doodles that somehow turned into a short comic. It was never meant to be this complex, but y’all know how carried away I get sometimes. Please enjoy! This is just page 1 of probably 4.

[artofcamrynperry]

“Trust you?! I don’t even know you, Timon!”

”Oh c’mon, Mya. Lighten up, would ya? And here I thought we were starting to be friends.”

”Yeah, well, if you really wanna be friends, you’d mind your own business and leave me alone.”

”Oh, Mya, yer breakin’ my heart. Just rip it out and stomp it into the ground again, why dontcha!?”

Gotta love meerkat angst. 🥲

Well, I decided to attempt to paint my first background on my new iPad in Procreate, and I must admit that I’m pretty pleased with the result! I think I might be in love with this program. The blending capabilities are so satisfying!

This scene would take place prior to the start of their relationship, during the time that Timon got separated from Pumbaa and Zazu during their long journey. Timon ran into Mya after being lost and alone for several days in a foreign land. Timon is consumed with loneliness and fear, and he really takes to Mya very quickly. Little does he know that Mya had grown extremely fond of him as well; so much so, in fact, that she instinctively started pushing him away for fear of growing too close.

[artofcamrynperry]

Just some story sketches that I've had laying around since July. Decided to slap some color on them and call it a day. Nowadays, all I ever want to draw are quick, sequential sketches. This here is a would-be scene from a comic that I'd like to make one day. Timon and Pumbaa were separated during a long journey, and Timon, lost and alone, runs into Mya, who helps him survive in a land he's not familiar with. Little does she know that Timon's company will help her, too.

Anyways, this scene would take place in the beginning of their relationship. They'd been kind of frenemies up until this point--traveling together and working together, but arguing a lot. A really intense life and death moment culminated in Mya kissing Timon for the first time, which led to, well, THIS. A couple of middle-aged meerkats, making passionate love like yearlings. However, the next morning, Mya panics, and leaves Timon in their makeshift "den" by himself. Hurt and confused, Timon confronts Mya, who proceeds to break his heart.

Not shown is a scene where Mya later admits that she freaked out because Timon made her feel something that she hadn't felt in years, and it frightened her. ;_;

Anywho, storytime over. I hope y'all can read my atrocious hand writing.
