Basically a Photoshop experiment, I spent much longer on this than I wanted to.

I got an adoptable on the biiig archive and decided to doodle her up in PS, and then this happened. x_x I just wanted to make a simple little sketch of her, but I couldn't stop. Soon it mutated into some sort of horrible background and lighting practice that really didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.
I like it fine I suppose, but the background, (excluding the sky,) looked much better before....the sky exploded or something. I don't know what happened with that. x_x

Her name is supposed to be Otabinti but I'll just call her Ota until I come up with something else. (Suggestions?

...)

the colors are really nice and I like the stance and face of your lion. It's very nice.

I'd say it looks pretty good. All I'd change is to darken the center of her cast shadow a wee bit here and there to give it more dynamics.
Out of curiosity, what archive did you find her on?

I quite like her name; it's pretty. =) You can always look up an English-Swahili translator, though, if you're looking for authentic African names. I like her design, and I am intrigued by the background. It is simple, yet it is very lovely. Nice work!
