Patriotic Lion Art Experiment w/Notes

Tweet

A friend here requested a patriotic lion with a similar design to another piece I did a while ago. That one was a housecat. Anyway, I told her it would be priority when I got back to work on designs, so here it is. It would have been fitting for Wildlife Wednesday as well had I posted for that. It was done in software similar to Photoshop, and finished off in a special effects suite. This was one of my most challenging pieces ever, but it was challenging in a good way. Kind of took me out of my comfort zone a bit. She's come to expect "masterpiece level" work from me, and I can only hope this measures up.
