This has a big of anime like atmosphere for some reason. It may come from expressive eyes which appear to be quite communicative. The features drawing is so accurate and I like the softness in the fur. He looks so dignified. Thank you for sharing.

I am a Leo and love all kind of lion - your cat is well done and is a very harmonious image with the one in tone background - love the golden color as light influx and the details on all his hair - great expressive image - super proportions, good color choice, fantastic realistic effect - it has a strange effect to want to touch him LOL - beautiful job with a super technique as always

Nice job as usual, interesting colors and lighting on the lion giving it a very unusual effect. As always great skill and technique. Good job.

I,m not doing much reviewing at the mo. Suzanne but this just caught my eye & I feel it is worthy of a + rating as you have shown good skills in the proportions colours & contrasts creating good depth & initial impact with the nice soft blends into the background & the eyes standing out well with good feeling-nice job & have a nice xmas my friend!

Stunning! The big cats are one of my favorites and you have done a stellar job of this one, achieving lots of nice detail with your pastels, especially with his eyes. Excellent art work, very well done.

Comment from julika
Excellent portrait of this lion- he has a very human, sort of knowing look -- excellent texture and detail in his eyes and fur - he does not look ferocious but rather soft and gentle.The Monochrome approach is most effective.
