ABSOLUTELY

I'm thinking I have the base mane for our Lion done now. Will create some morphs now for movement options. I'll add in some fur on his elbows and over the tip of the tail still too.

Sorry, couldn't delete that repeated image from the last post.

Here's the base layout.

Shoulder and chest mane.

Shoulder and chest mane, with neck mane added in.

Shoulder and chest mane, with neck mane, and head mane combined for a full mane.

 

[Alisa]

Awesome!

 

[Miss B]

Most definitely, and I love the silvery looking renders/screenshots, but I think that's a Modo thing, IIRC.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

What an absolutely fabulous lion!

 

[JOdel]

Definitely not Tearalong the dotted lion (who was a puppet if I remember correctly).

 

[Pendraia]

Very cool...

beautiful Chris.
Chris you may want to check out some male lion photos. The mane on most of the ones I have seen comes down on the center of the forehead in what could be described as a widows peak on humans. Definately adding hair tufts to chin, elbows and chest growing further to belly and loins would go a long way in making this a wonderfully realistic creature.
The nicest looking male images I have seen have that mane darker in back and shoulders and neck and lighter growing forward around face.
Also male "parts" are pretty pronounced on male lions especially alphas. Hope that is also taken into consideration even if an on and off switch is included or as an add-on "accessory".
I have not picked up the big cat yet but when this is released I will and not because it will be required to seed the male but because if this comes out looking as good as I hope it will be a pleasure to get this creature..

This is looking sooooo good. Looking forward to welcoming the new King! Sweet work Chris!

All we need now is a lamp-post and a faun with an umbrella!

I'd love to see a head-on shot with the full mane? Pretty please?

FANTASTIC work, Chris! After seeing my Tarzan movie again, can't wait to have his lion friends in an art piece, along with the great apes!

[VortigensBane]

It was just a quickie done for a tease; I wouldn't call it a finished piece by any means.
