I think it looks good. At the preview size I can’t tell if it’s photo manipulation or illustration

It’s probably more of a photo manipulation. I used a photo of a lion as a stencil to make sure I got proportions and some details right when I was constructing my flaming lion.

Would you say this is submittable? Also would you have any good ideas for a title?

I think it’s a great idea! I would say the nose looks a little funny to me (maybe needs a longer snout or something). Also the flaming mane could come down lower under his chin and maybe show his ear. Just my opinion…....“The Fire King”??
