It looks a quite bit better, but still. Compare the art to the lion. Nowhere near the same. Also, take a look at other lion custom décor.

honey, i really do hate to break it to you, but it seems that you're just being stubborn, though i do see the improvement in the art, it's still a little way off from LD's style.

my general advice would be to look up images of lions and study the anatomy first, then try doing a quick sketch of each lion with pencil and paper, it usually works better than directly going with digital.

i speak from experience, that's all i could give for now, and i think the decor is a great idea :)

All you need is a little practice dear. I did a red line so I could show you my art(which is not that good either) Now that I think of it, mine wouldn't be accepted either :). Anatomy takes time to learn. It is a wonderful Idea though.

Jaghund, you already heard from me on this decor. You lack experience. You need practice. Practice that takes years to get to the level of Lioden's standards. There's a reason for that.

It's a lovely art, and it has a very cute spirit to it, our requirements though have specific points that need to be filled in order to become official Lioden decor. First, is a realistic touch, anatomy, perspective. Knowledge of it is essential. Second is the style. It'd look very bad if decors would stand out so much on the scene and we'd lose a certain realism quality of our game.

I take hours and hours daily and study lion anatomy, I buy skeletal mounts and skulls etc to learn how muscles and body are shaped. I am still learning myself and I know I am not perfect, and I always listen to critique.

Seeing as I am 27 and I've been drawing for 24 years since I was a baby with a silly crayon, my both parents are artists and I went to artschool, I have learned to be humble and use critique as means to shape myself into a better artist.
And I practiced. At least 6 hours a day to 14. Every day of my entire life. And even now I wouldn't just react to critique with "mmkay". I know this feels like everyone here is ganging up on you, and you get defensive, but you have posted this thread and people are expressing their opinions, trying to help you understand how everything works.

so this is the conclusion:

1. Posters, remember to be respectful in your opinions and words.
2. OP, likewise, I don't ask you to be grateful for people's help, but be respectful as well.
