Description
I finished this a while ago, but haven't had time to upload due to massive amounts of HW for school! I'm happy witht he way it turned out. Thanks to Balaa and all her helpful fur tutorial links! She's the mastah of furrinessI used many stock photos (mostly very low res so I couldn't see a darn thing!) of lions for ref's to get me started, but most of it was from me own imaginings
UPDATE 7/09/07: I finally had time to paint in the last little details as well as fix the contrast an lighting. It looks soooooo much better than the older version! Also, I've included a higher res version for people who wish to print copies (I won't ever sell prints of this pic even though it's an original piece. Disney/Walden Media currently own copyrights on most anything related to Narnia, and I don't want to risk infringement or be accused of stealing. Also, Aslan is CS Lewis's creation, and it wouldn't be right to use his character for my own profit), just make sure that you don't steal (ie - give the me, the artist, credit for the work) or try to make a profit off of the image in any way, or I will hunt you down..... To save a copy of the larger image click on the download button.; a new window containing the larger version of the image should appear on screen. Right click and Save As. The image should be at 300 dpi, so basically you enlarge it to any size you want without losing too much quality. Enjoy

OMG............ I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO Obsessed with Narnia...growing up with the books, the BBC movies and being in the plays. You captured him very well. Though his eyes need to be a little more intense...more blues and greens add that pretty good.

Wow. I thought "Aslan" the minute I saw this picture, long before I saw the title. Great job.
Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

It has a very good flow about it and the look in the lion's eyes just says alot about the piece.
Good Job.

I've always loved the Chronicles of Narnia. This is a splendid piece. I hope you don't mind but my suggestion would be to reveal more at the top of his head as it appears rather cut off.

Gorgeous!I really like that you gave him such a fairytale feel, I don't really know how to explain it, but you went beyond just drawing a lion.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was going for! Ididn't want it to be 100% realistic, yet I still wanted the essence of realism present.

I was wondering when we were going to see this finished! It turned out beautifully.
I especially like the wisker area of his mouth and his nose. Though his eyes look believable real.
I just like the raw feel of this piece. And good choice of color for the background.
