Vain as snow

Had found myself advancing in drawing TLK male lion anatomy and so I had doodled my snow white vain lion character Bayana who was the product of making a good character out of a cliché color combination. As I painted him his non existent story began to unfold before me. Painting is a great way to relax and also apparently to think on character backstories.

This little project I've been working off and on for about a week. Each figure took approx. 5 to 6 hours to paint without interruptions. The background, little under an hour with the right brushes in photoshop using the mixer brush.

This image originally was meant to have a hideous Fan Character of mine involved but it looks much better without the neon character. This was still very much fun to create once I found the right brushes to color the background. Scar was a might difficult but still a fun challenge.

Please understand that this is fan art, you are not permitted to recolor or trace it or repost it. Thank you.

I've been practicing my lion king anatomy recently. I feel confident in it enough now. This was a random outlander cub practice sketch. Programs I use are Manga Studio 5, Frenden.com brushes for Manga Studio 5 and an intuous5 tablet.

This time instead of using Manga Studio 5 to paint this, I used Photoshop CS5. I quite like the outcome on my little character Riba.

By the end of the third day of painting this fellow, I was growing tired of it which is something that doesn't usually happen with me when I paint traced bases. 

This was a leisure paint, as well as an experiment to see just how close I could come to this style. The original was a traced base on deviantART that I took to extreme measures to make it look as if it was made by Disney.

This is probably one of my favorites I have painted thus far.

After a long thought process, I've decided to completely revamp this blog/portfolio. So for the first entry, a commission I finished for a friend of their fan design for a deleted character from Disney's The Lion King.

I've lately been enamored with this style Disney does for their merchandise clipart and have taken to studying it.
