Rampant Lion


Every now and then I will work on this little tribal-looking sketch. I usually get around to it when I travel because it's in my little travel sketchbook. Anyway, it started out as a totally different kind of drawing. I had intended it to look similar to a traditional Scottish rampant lion but then I just didn't like it. So, I changed it to look like a tribal one. Here's what I have so far.

Like your lion. Eager to see the finished product.

Got me to thinking about lions in Scotland? Where did the Scots and the Brits get the idea of lions back in the heraldry times? I guess if they have monsters in their Loch's, they might also have lions in their jungles.

hey! i know you don't know me and this is random as hell but i have been looking for a tribal rampant lion tattoo, but i just can't find anyone to draw it. out of the ones i've seen yours is closest to what i want so far, so if you really like drawing and stuff and have some spare time would you want to draw my tattoo?
