Let this mark the beginning of a very long term, very expensive king project. I may not even be able to complete it but I'd still like to share my plan.
Here are plans for markings, eyes, mane, etc:


I don't have much planned for decorations yet, but this background looks pretty cool with his markings.


My current king has the right base & mane shape but... that's about it
I guess the plan now is to buy lionesses with markings in the right spots & hopefully stud until the right markings. From there, I just need to keep the markings while passing base. A lot of the markings are applicator ones, so the only struggle there is gb (I've got a grand total of 4 GB at the time of this post). I'm not sure how to tackle this but advice is appreciated! I'll also buy lions with the desired traits from above. I don't care about heritage or mut as I plan to mutrep as soon as I've got the proper look.
Thanks for reading through my ramblings!
