Welcome to Lion’s Art Shop! Here you can purchase character designs, portraits, humanizations, random pictures you just want to see drawn, signatures, avatars… basically anything! >v< So, how do you go about this process?
Well, first, I know it’s called a shop… but everything’s free. Just getting that out of the way. It only takes up time – your time to fill the form at the bottom of this thread, and mine to draw whatever it is you wish to commission from me.
Secondly, you must select what you want your picture to be of, if you want words, the style, the pose, the expression – pretty much everything you want in the picture. Please be specific, it helps me not mess up on your picture!

For anyone who is interested, this is my DeviantArt account. If you want examples of colored works or anything that might not be listed here, please feel free to browse my gallery
Human Sketch Example
Here is an example of my human (well sort of) sketches. There is a big different between a hard sketch and an outline.
Human Outline Example
This human sketch is an example of an outline. It is typically a cleaner way to draw but takes a LOT more time and I am not quite a master at it yet
Humanized Warrior Example
Here is an example of a >>humanized warrior<<. (Guess who ^w^) I can humanize your cats or cats from the book, it doesn’t matter
Hard/Soft Style Examples
This is an example of two types of styles I use >>hard style<< and >>soft style<<. I typically use hard style for toms since it makes them look edgier, while the soft style looks more willowy and feminine. It’s up to you which you prefer.
Angles/Eye Examples
Here are some different head shots and eye shapes that you can peruse. I typically use either >>open eyes<< or >>closed eyes<<. Open have gaps and generally larger pupils (like a human’s). Closed eyes look more cartoonish, and I usually have my “cat-pupils”, which are narrow and defined. You can also see what my faces look like from different perspectives. My most commonly drawn pers. is profile (for cats) and ¾ for humans (cats is fine there too). I’m a bit weak straight on (with cats), but I’m working at it
Full Body Example
Here is a full body shot, so you can see what my bodies look like (I draw too many heads! >,<) You can specify what you want your pose to be. But be VERY specific if you want it to look just a certain way.
Hard Face/Soft Hair Example
Soft Face/Hard Hair Example
Hard Face/Hard Hair Example
Here are examples of close-ups of faces from different perspectives and with different styles. I have many different types of hairstyles for the cats. I must warn you that they do not look very good without my humanistic-touch. You can specify the hairstyle you want (or lack thereof). Spikes are hard for me, but I am growing efficient with them and as you can see above they look pretty good for males XD With females I usually have a more willowy look, with long soft flowing hair. Specify where you want the part to be (side, middle, none >>would be like the spikes<<).
I also do signatures, if you’re interested, and colored pictures (either colored pencil or computer generated coloring). For more examples, check out my DA account (listed above).
**Please note that some commissions may take a longer time than others! Outlining, coloring, and cleaning are very lengthy processes, but they DO make the picture look nicer. It's up to you how long you want to wait and how detailed/clean you want your picture to be.**
