EPIC! I love lionz especially Aslan since he is bad ass. I think it's really neat how you put the key in it's mouth and I like the colors of the eyes

great job, nice colours, found it searching for "keys to the kingdom" (was hoping for a fanart of the song by mΓΆtorhead, not sure if u like metal at all but u should check it out, awesome lyrics [link] )

but yeah not sure but when i saw the thumbnail he kinda reminded me of the lion from narnia storys, what was his name again :S

Probably did, as the lion from the Narnia stories (aslan) is supposed to be Christ and that's what this lion symbolizes. I'll be doing a Buddha picture soon.

OMG thats fantastic!
do u have any tutorials on how to just sketch and colour something like this?
cause i can never get the "fur" effect on the face of my scketchs..and it ends up looking wiered.

Evelwyn In reply to katorox248 [2009-12-08 15:47:28 +0000 UTC]

I don't have a tutorial (I'm not the artist either ) but a good way to get a fur effect for short fur is to take very small strokes and just layer them over the picture. Make them light, not too detailed and sometimes a teeny bit darker. When I do fur (with colored pencils) thats what I do. I'm not sure with just a regular pencil though.

any chance i could buy this from you? IwI i read you currently aren't taking commissions, and my mate is a lion and loves lions (i'm a fan too), plus he had a b-day recently and i wasn't able to do much because we live several states away. i really like this picture -lovely . not enough compliments to describe it appropriately. i apologize if i shouldn't be asking to buy it ^_^;

Perfect paper texture for this, and very nice use of darks over highlights. The mane shimmers wonderfully with that technique.
