Description
First off, thank you Dennis! It worked, though it's obscured by grass...the tuft is on the tail!!
And thanks to all of you, for your comments and suggestions!
They really helped!!
I have learned how to make grass using Photoshop brushes, very cool!!
I still need some practice, but I liked how this turned out!
; )

WOW New and Improved !! excellent revamp of your original !! roaringly good stuff !
Amazing job! Great breathing especially.
Sweet it looks even better with the grasslands scene. That said, you know of course that now you need to animate a gently blowing breeze moving the grass :)
I hope there are no ticks in the long grass or is that, why he's breathing so heavy ? want some more work ? make the now tufted tail flick up & down in the grass ! and pygmies and some elephants...and, and that'll do for the moment ! well done & ~Cheers~ :o)
And a truck full of journalists making a documentary, complete with television crew. How do you make grass with brushes? Great eyes!
Ha! You guys are funny!! On any OTHER site, I might be able to make the grass sway, etc...but on Osity, with a 512K size limit...motion is expensive! Still, for posting elsewhere, I think a more motion-rich version WILL be in the works...Thanks gang for the viewing and comments!
You animation keeps going up a notch with each posting. Lucas films will be knocking at your door.
Oh awesome ani...I expect him to turn his head and roar at me.
the added grass adds alot to your heavy breathing lion
Delightful animation.
Esatto--no technicolor swaying grass with 512. Indeed, R'osity is lucky anyone who animates posts here at all given the file limits. But there are many great artists here and working against small limits has its uses. Hmmm, I see you've impressed LittleIgby (ECC), who is NOT EAC, and probably even harder to impress than me, and who had a hand, as I mentioned, in one episode of the Ass Wars (donkey and thumb), hehe. Superb job!
excellent, hard to believe it fits the 500K, but there it is! v
Excellent job!! But then your stuff always is. I like Rozanne's suggestion with the film crew. lol!! Those brushes in PS are really nice, they make it easy to to grass, and there ones for leaves as well. He looks very regal!
Fantastic setting you've Panted here! ;) Happy I could help! :)
Now he's the king with tuft and all. The setting is great for this mighty beast...
nice work... dennis is cool.
wow this is super work. For the grass to move you have to do it in each image of the lion at the same time and that would be a lot of work there. but I guess that how Disney did it in his toons
This really is very cool. The motion gives this life - his eyes seem to sparkle and he looks very majestic surrounded by that excellent grass. Super work. V. :o) CC
The savannah really completes this image...beauty! So share the tutorial on making the grass please! My stuff looks like chunky pixels, lol.
Woooow... this is superb, so realistic ! Love it !
Wonderful work and animation...very cool done!!!:o)v
looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the setting you chose for him.Wonderful work,Eric.LOL at all that work going into the tuft only to have it obscured.But in the end,it doesn't matter.You did a fabulous job,here.It's something to be truly proud of.Have a wonderful week,my friend!-M :^)
Okay, now make the grass wave in the breeze! Ahaha! Excellent animation!
Wow... Your art keeps getting better and better all the time... And that's quite an accomplishment as each previous piece is a masterpiece onto itself... V
Too that which is proud is that which is king/queen of his/her domine. Yet still their freedom is taking. Eric sorry for my delay friend, but once again u have created a wonder in the movement of art. BRAVO!!!...:))
WOW, looks so real ! i am very impressed ! most excellent animation! its always a pleasure to visit your gallery,Eric ! * TOP NOTCH * #:O)
Hey, you got the tufty in! Good work. I live the setting and how you used Potatoshop for the grasses. Excellent job! -- "Lala kahle [Sleep well]/ In the jungle, the mighty jungle/ The lion sleeps tonight/ In the jungle, the mighty jungle/ The lion sleeps tonight/ (Chorus) Imbube/ Ingonyama ifile [The lion's in peace]/ Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps]/ Thula [Hush]/ Near the village, the peaceful village/ The lion sleeps tonight/ Near the village, the peaceful village/ The lion sleeps tonight..."
Yay! Muchly improved! :-) And you're really doing a wonderful job with the PS brushes! With great software power comes great responsibility. giggle ;-)
Very well done. Great work and a fantastic improvement on the first version.
