Ohh this is lovely! The expressio is adorable and i love the brush u used to get the hair in the mane.
Ur really good at eyes too^.//

Actually that was mostly free-hand. Nice to know I'm consistent though. :)

Are u fer real?! Thts awesome how long did it take?

Not as long as you'd think, and I think maybe... 2-3 hours?

wow thats insane

Why is that insane?

Cause it's a long time but the quality of work is amazing! I can't fathom how some artist can do such great work in so little time o.o -is baffled-

Lookin' great :3 love the face, mane, and furring :>

So do I. :3

Very majestic.

He has a kindly look to him.

Looks great. You did a great job on his face.

Thanks. :3

lovely work!

Thanks! I think my favorite part is his eyes

I love this. I don't even know where to start.

Whiskers: Gorgeous, realistic, and give a semi-3dish effect (to me anyways)
Eyes: Again you excell in conveying so much emotion through two tiny pieces of the art. I don't honestly know how you do it.
Mane/Fur: Can you say detail? I love the way you do fur and can see the individual hairs, especially on shaggier creatures like lions, this really brings them to life!
Chin/mouth/facial area: Amazing proportions. I always struggle with them, and wow you just nailed them on this piece sis!
Background: Love how the detail is done to push forward the lion, rather then distract from it.

Awe! Thank you. ;3; this is a really valuable comment and way to look at it. Thank you!

wicked awesome!

Thank you!
