The Gaurdian - For Iardacil

This is for , first place winner of 's contest a little while ago.

Now, I know you said something with a horse, but this image popped into my head while I was trying to think of something unique yesterday...and I just had to use a lion, since I've been wanting to use one for a long time now. If you'd like, I can make you another one with a horse.

Anyway, I know there are some urm...technical difficulties, but it's been a while, so I'm a little rusty. I do like it, though. Originally, I wanted the lion to be "finding" this sort of portal into a mysterious, and totally different world. But, when I was mostly done with it, I thought it made more sense if the lion was more of a gaurdian of the portal, so whatever it is that might want to cross from one world to another has to go through the lion first.

Anywho, I hope you like it, Iardacil, you are totally deserving of the win. I hope everyone else out there likes it too ^^

Edit: FINALLY fixed the spelling of "Guardian" lol. Also cropped it a bit...I think I blurred the words too much but I'm too lazy to fix at the moment.
