[Art] White Lioness as Totem

sylvertongue, do you want to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com to yay or nay this piece?

White Lioness as Totem

I got a request for lioness but felt compelled to actually draw a white lioness; so here she is. White lions - like many white animals in general, actually - are considered divine omens.

And now I have the Kimba theme song going through my head...

Oooooh, she's LOVELY!

Yay! So glad you like. :D

Who lives down in deepest darkest Africa?
Who's the one that brought the jungle fame?
Who's the king of animals in Africa?
Kimba the white lion is his name!

Hah. I need to see that again. :)

P.S. I love it. She's gorgeous! <3

OMG I love Kimba :) thanks for brining back some wonderful memories :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Hehehe yes that's exactly what was going through my head. My brother used to LOVE that film.

I think it was no coincidence that first you have Kimba, and then you have Simba.

She is very lovely! I want to scritch her chin but that probably wouldn't be wise, lol. I've always thought that lionesses were prettier than the males.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, well I don't know, sometimes lionesses like being scritched under the chin. *g*

As a child and Priestess of Sekhmet, I would say you really outdid yourself on this one! You definitely captured Her spirit!

I see She is on hold. It's a shame you don't do more than one of these. *sigh*

I'm not sure if this one will get picked up or not yet; still waiting on the email.

But either way, prints will be available probably as of tomorrow morning at DeviantArt: http://ravenari.deviantart.com/gallery/

Thats gorgeous!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[mirrorred-star.livejournal.com]

Wow. I really like how she stands out against the red background.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the red background, I was originally going to do all pale colours... but lioness wanted something much bolder.

[mirrorred-star.livejournal.com]

It really works for her.

[liondaughter.livejournal.com]

Wow, she's really beautiful. :)

[dynxsilverwolf.livejournal.com]

I definitely have Toto's Rains In Africa song in my head now. XD

This is absolutely beautiful. I love that you did a white lioness instead of a regular tan one.

[vyxen.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. She really stands out! ^^

[aleia-kali.livejournal.com]

Awww so beautiful and i love the background colours. :)

Ohhhhhhh, SHINY! I wish I had disposable income. Have you ever thought about trying to get a booth or share a booth with someone at a gamer or pagan friendly convention? I'm pretty sure that your work would sell well at the anime convention we go to every year,

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

There's not many conventions here in Western Australia, but I have thought - when I'm socially more able to handle more than one person at once - about doing something like the Perth Yule Fete.

That said, I often sell out of so many of these that I don't have enough left to justify a stall. But with the recession going the way it is... maybe I will by Yule next year.

Even if it's just prints, people will buy prints for a slightly higher price at a convention than they necessarily would online. Soooo, you could buy several of your own prints from DA and resale them at convention. I have a feeling that's what Hibbary does cause the prints we bought from her look exactly like the prints that come from DA

She's gorgeous.

Beautiful! Love the upward gaze, and the fur detailing. love her nose-profile, and the perfect cream-marked white.

whiskerrrs.
