Character Design- "Dandy Lion" by Samax Amen

sketch (Dandy Lion) by Samax Amen

My yard is full of dandelions, and since we are selling the house, I have no intention of going to war with weeds. It's funny... as much as adults hate dandelions, kids love them. The name always made me think of a lion in a tuxedo... so since I'm a big kid at heart, I drew the sketch above. I liked it, so I decided to smash out the full body piece below....

So anyways, I drew the sketches with a red ballpoint pen, then light-tabled the second one with a medium Sharpie Pen.

Here's the inked version. I will probably color it as time permits. This was mostly a stress-relief drawing... I don't really have plans to draw any comics with this character, but knowing me, that is likely to change...
peace,
