King of Beasts

9/2/19

‍    This image started out as a concrete statue; lion-280636_1920 by DrSJS from Pixabay (see below). I added real lion eyes from a picture of a lioness that was the tarter image in a PFCC contest in January of 2016. I don’t have any attribute listed. It might have been from Morguefile, or one of the member’s photo. I’ve searched Morguefile and Pixabay to no avail. I even used tineye.com to try and find where it came from, but they couldn’t find it either. Drat. I used “Dawn in the Mountains” 3325080 by kareni on Pixabay for the background and crown 2698775-1029 by pixel2013 also on Pixabay for the lion’s crown.

‍    I also did a lot of re-coloring and texturing as well as camera raw filters all around to get the final results. I’m really please with the transformation from beginning to end image.

‍    Take care and stay well.
