in #spt2 years ago (edited)

Hey,
This is my very first post on this platform. After I have discovered this Art contest I've decided to give it a shot. You can find the final version of my drawing right below.

Why I chose Gargoya lion

The powerful aura of this creature was the main reason for picking this card. I really liked the aggressive expression on his face. As a neutral monster the Gargoya lion is a great addition to every line-up.

The drawing proccess

step1: creating the bare shape of the face

step 6: merging all parts and working on shadows and contours

In the end, i'm pretty satisfied by the result and how it all worked out. I know this picture does not look exactly like the original Gargoya lion, but it is my personal interpretation of the monster and I hope you like it.

Thanks for reading and your support.
