Something about the nice, big puppy-dog-like eyes just makes me doubt that this creature will one day turn into a cunning and ferocious hunter. Regardless, Kissed by the Morning by ~balaa is a wonderful digital painting of a lion with enough detail to make you want to reach out and just touch its fur.

Omg...that is the best thing I have seen all day! Cougari looks so realistic! I wouldn't be too surprised if this got DotD, this is absolutely stunning.

Amazingly well drawn/painted, and only ten layers too!

I really like the admosphere and the light and the colours that you picked out to draw this one.

Definetly a favourite!

Empty space. It's all you ever find over here..
Occasionally a flash of instinct,
But monotonously dull.

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the
fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it
is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the
grass wherever you may be."
