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.

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.

Wow this is amazing, not just because of the realistic qualities, but also because of awesome use of color theory. This pic flows together
Rock on
