Lion - King of Beasts by deskridge on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A mighty lion with a golden mane stands tall on a rock atop a grass covered hill. Light from the early morning sun shines upon the king of beasts as he gazes upon the African plains that are his kingdom. A symbol of strength, this great cat is one of the most commonly depicted wild animals in the history of painting.

As always, big cats are one of my favorite subjects. Lions, however, have always been a bit of a challenge to get the mane right. I believe this to be my best so far.

Thanks for looking!
