Ah, personal art splurge. I think this was a five hour thing, which I painted this morning instead of sleeping, because sleep is for the weak.

Benjamin gettin' his Aslan on. Silly smiley lion. He can't speak so he's always going around with a little smile in the hopes people will freak out less sharing a space with him. His friends tell him it'd be just as well if he didn't, because the one thing more unnerving than sitting on the other end of a bench from a lion is sitting on the other end of a bench from a lion who is grinning at you. But it does Ben's heart good to make the effort.

I gotta start painting with rough brushes, what a freeing feeling. <3

He makes me think of the dad lion from a PBS show my little sister used to watch, "Between the Lions," if you've heard of it :)
Great expression and backstory. Awesome painting! :+fav:

Oh my gosh, that is so cute! He's got puppy eyes going! Not sure if he meant to have puppy eyes going but I see puppy eyes, and they are so CUTE! And I don't care if he was smiling at me, I would so want to hug him! He looks so cute! (not that I am sure he would want to be considered 'cute' but sorry I couldn't think of something better to describe him at the moment.) Makes me want to just sit with him somewhere with a good book and some tea. XD

Beautiful piece, I love the motion throughout it, in his mane and that there is the beautiful earthy tones and then the points of intense color, it is so amazing. And I bow to your greatness, :worship: I can't draw cats at all (wild or docile) and you just nailed it, and made it so perfectly him, even without the glasses or even his earring I don't think I would have had a problem at ALL figuring out who this was. And experimenting with new brushes has always been something fun for me too, sometimes it just the little change that is needed. :D
