Description
I had started this piece a while ago but didn't get a chance to finish what with the crazyness of christmas. Tonight was kinda feeling lonely what with Christmas coming and I sitting here alone in a quiet dark house...so I decided to finish this painting.This one goes out to everyone on this Christmas day, to all my friends and those that have inspired me with their work or wonderful words of encouragement, to anyone and everyone. It is a reminder to those that feel lonely that you are not alone. There is always someone there to walk beside you, even if just in spirit.
Happy Holidays!
Tools: open canvas for original sketch, PS7 for coloring.
Time: ????? NO idea..not too long..under 10 hours I'm sure.
Prints: yes
***Please respect my work and full view, doesn't take but a second. Thank you
Critique discouraged because this is a piece from my heart and as such is close to me, mistakes or no..

Simple but simply stunning. The contrast of the dim blues to glowing gold is just breathtaking. Very subtley emotional as well.
I like it.

Wow! What an amazing lion!
The anatomy is great! And I just love the bright eyes.
The main is so detailed, with all of the strands and everything. I like the colors too! I also think the lighting was done extremely well.
Oh, and did I mention how great the lion looked?

My..... It's wonderful.
Aslan is relly beautiful in this art.
Do you have a tutorial about how do fur? His fur is really nice and I've been problems painting furs in my arts.
Congratulations with this master-piece!
Merry Christmas.

It's wonderful :] The expression, the texture of the fur, the composition.
Somehow, he reminds me both of Mufasa ("Lion King") and Aslan ("The Chronicles of Narnia") - two characters I, for one, have countless great memories conected to.

Awww, He looks gorgoues by your hand, Balaa. Especially that radiance just flowing from His face. I can tell it's from the heart, love! *hugs* The most beautiful pieces always are...and from a most beautiful heart it comes, too.

wow as i said in my e-mail (thanks for responding... i probably would have just commented but I admit I am not very "deviant" savvy yet and only just saw the link at the bottom of your prints page to see the original deviation and comment haha) this is a beautiful piece of work... you've really managed to capture the other-worldliness about him. very special, i think i shall have to have a print now that i know what it really is
keep it up!
