Art - Anthro Lion, Final (?) version(s)

[hwango]

So, among LJ users and deviantART users, the consensus is...no, there really isn't a consensus. The majority like the more monochromatic one, so I put up that version, too. I don't think I should take both to GenCon, though. Maybe it's good to show two different takes on the same piece, but my gut reaction is that it's unprofessional to appear that I couldn't decide on a final version...which is, in fact, the case.

If I had to pick one, I'd pick the one with more colors, because that's the piece that I actually painted. The orange-y one may actually look better, but it almost feels like cheating, or something. Whatever.

Regardless, I hope that in either form, it's a good finished piece. I took a lot of the given advice, and fixed a few things that bothered only me, and I'm hoping that I didn't make something worse or break it in the process. Here they are:

Your work might also be a hit at Furrycon. The downside is that you'd also be subjected to things that should not be.

I like the changes. I think you're definitely being more true to the light source.

Yes...I think the Things That Should Not Be would take quite a toll on me, unfortunately. I can handle shoggoths in the basement and the byakhees in the attic really aren't that big a problem, but even I have my limits.

"Your work might also be a hit at Furrycon. The downside is that you'd also be subjected to things that should not be."

My sentiments precisely. It's a full time job just keeping my little sister (who's an animal freak, and thereby finds anthro stuff cute)from being exposed to the disgusting crap around.

GREAT work! I myself have alot of homage to Lions, being a Leo, being named Leon, and having the title of Lion as a christian.

By the way, Cotter. Did I mention I'm in love with your avatar? (FLCL rules(

Glad you like it - and you're definitely the most lion-oriented person I can think of, based on your listed associations. = )
