"This one was a doozy to "finish". After I complete one of my robot lion pictures start sketching up a new one soon after but I don't finish (see "Blue Lion" in my scraps). But this one I started sketching months after my "Green Lion Revisited". At first I just drew the head with no real plans after that. I considered making it some sort of helmet/faceshield, but I had to make it a new robot.
I wanted to give it a battle worn look but putting dirt and grime on it but I couldn't figure out a way to make it look convincing so I gave it scratches and scars."
