Crescent? Check. Fleurs de lis? Check. Cabacete? Check. Lion rampant...?

Ok, yes, you are rampant, we can tell. Could you tone it down a little? You've got a little... foam... just, never mind.

The sequel to part one of my series of coat of arms humor! And two parts it will likely remain, since I have run out of ideas! I've been looking for an excuse to draw a lion rampant for a while now, and  pomponio kindly gave me a good reason when he suggested one would be part of his ideal coat of arms. Originally I had planned on drawing a pair of lions flanking the crest, one overacting his part, the other motioning him to relax. But the lion opposite this one would not readily cooperate with my pencil, so I decided to post the sketch of this side cropped as it is. Sorry for the poor scan quality - I'm not expecting any faves here. Eventually I'll finish the doodle and put some time into inking it, but since I'm in a bit of a hurry this week (taking off in 3 days!), I thought I'd go ahead and post this as a WIP in scraps. Looks like we have another graduate of the William Shatner School of Acting!

EDIT: Inked version here.
