Artist's Comments

Pretty lame title for something I've spent a few months on. :| Blegh. And also HOLY CRAP IT'S NOT A SPEED PAINTING! *shocked face*

This was painted for my great-aunt. She wanted a big, beautiful, realistic lion. Thank goodness for stock photography and a free local zoo. :)

I think his nose still needs some work (is something crooked about it? I can't tell anymore) but this is pretty close to done. I'm very proud of the fur, and pay no attention to the dark and lazy background. XD

Beautiful work. The soft light and color really brings out the contrasts between the background and the lion.

Very realistic!

Ooh, I'm so glad you like the lighting. It kind of just turned into a way to cover my laziness. XD Thanks for the comment!

Wooooow, that's one really awesome lion painting! 8O I wish I could do something that too. Nice details. And the feathery blurry look is a nice effect. And yeah, I agree... the contrast looks cool. Really makes the pic come to life. :D
