Good blend, but you need to remove the part of his neck at lower right...

This made me laugh. I hope that was your intent.

WOW this is wondeerful

lol...now thats different

Thanks for your valuable comments. I will change the part of neck.

Perspective not quite right! Good luck

Nicely put together. g/l

very cool job

this is great! Very nice step by...

Good idea, but i think you need to add some depth here, before seeing your step by step guide i thought it was a cat's face on a rock. Good luck

kinda weird

Would he be tempted to eat himself? Haha! I like it. Your stripes are well placed, too. Please upload a high res (just click edit entry and check high resolution box) so I can judge it better.

Yes.. HIGH RES please.. he's so FLUFFY!!!

Done

Very nice but the hairs look a bit fake, maybe you can make it more real

There's a halo around him....fix that too. good ideea.

o.o your zebon is giving light o.o;

Mane is too desaturated...

Great work! I love the stripes. Suggestion: It looks like you used a brush for the mane coloring. As others stated, this makes it look desaturated. Also, it makes you lose color on the right side of the Zebon's face and cause loss of color due to the fuzzy edges around the mane.

So, as far as the loss of color, try using a layer mask with a combination of the smudge tool to make the edges of the mane less fuzzy and more confined to the hair. Then, to deal with the saturation issue, create a copy of the original mane, desaturate it, then put it on top of the brush layer, setting it to overlay or soft light. This will bring out the shadowing of the hair and give it more depth without losing the new, light color you have given it.

Good work and good luck, author!

Not bad. Musicj19 gives a good tip about the manes. I'd also remove the glow around the body with a mask and you may want to look again at the lion's nose. Good luck!

LOL, very funny!!! ) It reminds me of that saying : "you are what you eat" LOL

great job but you should have kept the mane the same color.

awesome image looks a bit like a bear because lions have much shorter hair on their faces but that doesnt make a difference. i love the mood. very high marks good luck

great job!!

Wowee!! The mood on this is excellent, and the detail in the fur.. WOW! High res is a MUST SEE! Great work, super high marks from me!

some light on nose and eyes may work great

just WONDERFULLY done.. he is more bear then Lion. just because of the tones and the fluffy fluffiness. hehehe.. Even though it has heavy brown tones and is very dense.. because of the light work.. you could poke him with a pin and he'd blow up like a balloon. JUST AMAZING!!!

perfect

nice work

Looks more like a bear/dog than a lion, and the light side is a bit too dodged...

You just put together a new type of wild animal... Wonderful work... I agree with CMYK though that it's a bit to light on that one side... good luck.

Very clever use of the source & very nicely executed....but would have to agree the lighting could do with being toned down a bit

good work

good work
