A Chibi A Day...{Part Four}

Firstly, apologies that this chibi is late, but when you see it, I think you will see why. I got back from visiting family on Monday and have been working steadfast since Tuesday to complete this one.
I fear the other two chibis will take just as long, since the complexity has increased since Loki and Zhalia, and Den. I mean, take this one, for example- each section had four shades- that's light, medium, dark and shadow- whereas on Loki there were only two for each section- colour and shadow.
You see how that adds up, right? Since this chibi had seven sections-eyes, head, mane, tail, bangles, tawny and pale-not including the whole other colour scheme for the Caliban amulet dangling from the tail bangles!
So, yes, alot of work, but also, extremely gratifying to see it completed.
And so, without further ado, here is your chibi for the day- Dante Vale.
In the Seeker Within, Dante is often compared to a lion, just like Loki is to a fox, and Zhalia to a wolf. So here he is, in lion form. Another hard eye colour one. He is golden eyed, but in actual fact his eyes are brown with a spot of gold that gives the impression of golden eyes. I had to change that around for the effect to work on large lion eyes.

And that's it, so, signing off (sorry again it was late)
