Artist's Comments

He is Uhai. He wears the fertile black of the earth. His eyes are the clear blue of the heavens. His voice is the soft rumble of thunder. His soft steps bring the rain. He is renewal.

Uhai is swahili for life.

The rain stuff I think is mostly brought about by the thunderstorms we've been having lately.

The renewal thing is from rain washing stuff away, coupled with the idea that in heraldry a black lion can mean the willingness to forgive.

The black and blue thing comes from shamanistic color symbology. Earth + sky = the world.


I like making characters, even if I never do anything with them.

Maybe I'll draw him again with rain and clouds and stuff.

Uhai was colored with marker, color pencil and acrylics done on a little scrap of watercolor paper.

I'm not very good at drawing cats. Gotta practice more.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Amazing drawing, as usual. The intensity of his gaze, and the soft blue shades, are what make this.

Wow. You can really see the description in the piece. I love the gentle aura around Uhai. Even the mane appears gentle. And that symmetry must have been damn hard to do. O.x

Very good job in the drawing, the coloring, the fur detail, and the expression. The description backs it up well.

his face is a little long where a lion's in normally rounder, i think. but i still really like this. the expression is great. he reminds me of aslan's twin brother or something. wonderful!
