Description This is for the "Elves and Beasties" contest at

This took...a very...long...time! But I'm quite happy with it I've done things I haven't ever done before! I took some really big risks with this one, and have learned much from it

Originally sketched on paper, then completely colored in photoshop.

I looked at countless pictures of eagles and lions in order to get the pose I wanted, Aslan was my model for the head

I DREW AN ARCHER PULLING BACK AN ARROW WITH NO SERIOUS FAULT AT ONE GO! I didn't have to erase a thing! All those sketches and practice at drawing archers PAID OFF!!!

I'm exhausted

~ Cheers!

Please comment!
PS: Not happy with how the quality looks on DA vs on my computer...

EDIT: after a comment my dad made, I made the right wing larger.

Sirius was my muse for like 3 years I still have a little special place in my heart...it's quite small now but it's still there

O_O DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDEEE! I am so awed by this that I end up saying DUDE!

Two things though, the lion looks fat and has a protruding chin.

LizleMouton In reply to SailorPhantom [2010-04-27 21:49:44 +0000 UTC]

well, you may be right about the chin...as for being 'fat' I'd like to think of him as being 'big-boned' and 'muscular' teehee (I think the muscles just didn't come out as clearly as they were in the sketch meh, I wuvs him nice and chubbey!)

Thank you! I have no idea why I even drew it like this...there's no background story or idea that inspired this pose

mity-mite In reply to LizleMouton [2010-04-27 23:08:20 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. Sometimes those unplanned, stream-of-consciousness ideas are the most interesting, because they tap into something hidden inside you and let it out.

hmm...I wonder what this reveals about me? Maybe that I wish to be free, and I long for a new adventure Actually...now that I said that, that's probably what this picture represents! Wow, I hadn't thought about how my art could do that! Thx again

I'm in that same contest. It's amazing what contests will do for stretching your skills. This is quite fantastic, and the archer is spot on.
Good luck to you!
