Title: Liono Remix
Name: Leon Harmon
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

This is my rendition of a somewhat updated Liono
from the Thundercats cartoon. I wanted to add more to it, but that would have taken even more time and you have to know when to stop.
I started with pencil scans then added the colors and line weight once most of the rendering was done. I will be concentrating on more environments on my next images.

Looks great! Love the style man! Nicely illustrated character.

crit:
The airbrushed shading looks slightly too much for the toon style. It almost appears too soft I think.

Thanks FRENZIEDmind, you are actually dead on. I was originally going to do cell shading for the color. Once I added the glow effect to the marsh, I couldn't help myself but to push the entire image further.

What I learned from this image is I need more varying textures to my images. This one in particular doesn't have enough hard edges which is why it comes off as too soft. I'll definitely keep this in mind for my future images.

Thanks again for the critique.
