"SA JA" Studies...

The Korean word for Lion is "SA JA"...
I believe I drew this a few months back for a showpiece Idea that I was working on. In the end I shelved it in favor of another concept but I've held onto these lion sketches. I actually hold onto a lot of my drawings (which has a good and bad side to it) but find that I need to sift and purge out stuff lately.
So, I scanned these and introduced a dash of color.
Quick and exploratory image. Fun stuff.
I think I'd definitely like to try using this design for a future image.

For now though I'll share it, and you can comment on how much my Lion drawing looks like a bear... D'OH!! I always wind up back at drawing Bears for some reason.

Hope you dig,
