Artist's Comments
This was drawn mostly to take The GIMP for a test drive. Considering this is the first pic I ever made in that program, I don't think it turned out too bad. I did the ENTIRE pic in GIMP - I didn't do the outline in Flash like I usually would have done.
Working entirely in raster -sucks- when you're an accomplished vector artist. XD;; While I was drawing it, I envisioned that this young male anthro lion just got expelled from his pride for some reason, a pride that he wanted to be the King in. But now, he's just a nomad, left to fend for himself. The background is intentionally pretty smudgy, since I've seen similar styles used in other African-type pics. Not sure how well it fits with the main character, but eh, I didn't even PLAN on doing a background in the first place. XD And you'll notice that neither his hair nor his trenchcoat is black. It wouldn't have made much sense to put a bunch of black on him since I was testing how shading and stuff worked out in GIMP, heheh. I think that it can be a pretty suitable replacement for Photoshop, and it's -free.- I'd recommend that you download GIMP if you want something that can compete with Photoshop. |

We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

Ce n'est pas une signature.
(Okay, so maybe it is after all. Shh, it's s'posed to be artsy.)
(P.S: Support Jark plzkthx.)
Anyway, I like this. The outlines are a bit rough - which looks a little odd with the smooth coloring and shading, in my opinion - but overall this is a very nice piece.
...Kinda' makes me want to sing Circle of Life
It was also a good call to use the colors you did =3 just very much adds to the feel of the peice.
