Once I was happy with it, I baked it, then a lot of sanding went on, when the lion was smooth enough I primed it and started adding acrylic paint by layers.</p> <p>To finish it off I created a necklace and gave him the crown he deserves.</p>http://blog.afar25.com/post/48789190663http://blog.afar25.com/post/48789190663Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:00:27 -0400afar25artartistmunnykidrobotlionArtists on Tumblrsculpeysculptinganimalkingcrowngoldsteezkickzkicksshoestoyvinylvinyl figurevinyl toycollectiblecustomuniqueking of the streetslion king<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3d66b652d1abf9de15b37be80e9efb9d/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3b8607f76d93af47484b570a5bd09d1d/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9f67ca74078839b4c6cb6dcc5aa7960f/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1b2253d67e7896dc225a2015885625b1/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c68ea3e3ffc979fd946405fc50bc1059/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1be9789fff363fc6c7926c245c82c970/tumblr_mlqgjnJIPe1qzux6ko6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>So proud to present The King of the Streets -</p> <p>Ruling the forest is no easy task, with humans destroying lion habitat and hunting them, this particular king has taken a stand of his own.
