Illustration Friday: "Fierce"

Maybe I'm still on a Narnia kick from last week (you know, first with Eustace the Dragon, and now with a Lion not unlike Aslan), but this was the first thing that popped into my head when I thought of this week's topic, "fierce."

*Ok. So I lied. I totally thought of Tyra Banks and her fierce eyes, but I couldn't quite bring myself to draw her or anything ANTM related, because that's a guilty pleasure of mine that I can't bring myself to admit. (oops! I just did!) Ha ha! (Ok, maybe this Illustration Friday theme deserves two entries this week ; )

Anyway, a lion -was- the second thing that I thought of, and that's the truth! Enjoy!

Illustration Friday: "Hoard"

Was having trouble trying to think of something to draw for this week's Illustration Friday; finally thought of something! Maybe a bit obvious, but ties into my recent dragon theme lately!

Bonus points for anyone who gets the golden arm-band reference ; ) (hint: it's from one of my favorite books!)
