A vector illustration of an anthro lion kneeling on the ground, claws cupped protectively around a small seedling. Stony cracks in his body release oppressive smoke in the shape of a gryphon, chimera, Nemean lion, and sphinx, from whose spirits he draws his strength. He appears panicked and conflicted.
for Almonihah

Refraction

finished commission for Almonihah of his character Ktinos, a being with a mysterious past and the spirits of four ancient and powerful beasts possessing him. he's constantly struggling against their destructive impulses and trying to use their immense strength for good!

Almonihah is always a joy to work with because his characters are so interesting and he often lets me run with my inspiration and interpretations. this was a challenge because I was trying a lot of new things, but I learned a lot and I like the results! thanks so much!

remind me to post a process for this later, I think it would be a juicy one
