Description
(Alternative title: "You can't hide your lion eyes")
Sketch commission for *drawinks , of his char Waka , the goofy, talking lion that tries to imitate human expressions, in spite of not fully understanding human emotions...Therefore, he tends to go a bit overboard . I think this one must be disgust...or something. XD

That really is great, I can't look at it without cracking up ^^. Nice control with the medium, it shows up well with the depth in the mane.

XD This is just precious...it looks like it came out of a book of fairy tales. 
...also, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks the song is way better when it's talking about "lion eyes."

I'm sorry for your stress and unhappiness. I wish you joy and tranquility. I will even send you some of mine. < > There you go. I know it's a small bit but it takes up a fair amount of bandwidth and I couldn't get more through the modem! ;-}

This is so funny, and cute. I love everything of it. Your linework isvrealistic yet a bit cartoonish that makes an awesome combination for the concept. His mane is a bit big in my opinion

Thanks...and I actually had to "tone down" his mane a bit from the ref! [link] XD

This is quite fantastic! And very entertaining! You've done a wonderful job portraying the mock-expression in his face!

Absolutely brilliant and comical! It is so reminiscent of multiple Lion photos- mid growl and the like. You really pegged the elasticity of the facial movements so well!

This is absolutely adorable! I love the idea of a lion that imitates human expressions. I can actually see my cat trying to do the same thing. It seems to be in the feline personality, I think. Great job!
Also, some of the refs you used are hilarious! I especially like the fist one xD
