I have to agree with Pam I don’t like the new style mane, I like the older mane with the definition on it, and the crown is also fun!! But who else thinks their Emperor would think the Flion’s getting a little too big for his britches and needs a Squishing?

Here are some lion profiles:

The mane tends to lay back on the forehead more than poof up (on most of the lion pics I’ve looked at).
I also think from looking at these pics that even on the original Flion, the muzzle could still use an extension. On a real lion, there is quite a space between the raised area where the whiskers are, and the area where the occipital bone sticks out (beneith the eye). This is lacking on the flion.
Also, the top of the head on the flion appears a little too horizontal–on the lions in the pics I posted, the slope at the top of the head looks steeper.
What think you, Mel?

What think you, Mel?Things like that are the least of his inaccuracies! Compare a flion to a picture of real sitting lion. Real lions look very strange when they sit, so I based the flion’s sitting pose (and griffins as well) on a dog.
His neck is intentionally very long also.
This isn’t a lion anyway, its a Flion.

That’s what was bugging me about the face on the Flion. I think a lionness would be cool, but I couldn’t quite bring myself to purchase a Flion because there was something wrong with the face, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Thanks for pointing that out.

As Melody said, it’s a Flion, not a lion, so the artist gets the final say I suppose. 😉

Yep, the artist gets to make the rules. 😀

I’ll see your living in a dark room and I’ll raise you a hiding from Florida sunshine in a room that glows from space! It’s cool. It reminds me of the Star Trek bridge at night. 😆

Sorry that was a reply to page one. I didn’t see the six pages. My bad!
