Green Lion

Hooray, finally putting this on dA!! 
When I sketched this out, I wasn't sure what colors I'd use. My thoughts were reds/oranges/yellows, the usual colors for lions. But then my best friend mentioned how you don't normally see lions in cool colors and that it'd be out of the norm. So I decided what the heck, I'll give it ago, and I'm sooo happy with the outcome ohmygoshshhsh I'm so glad I did.
Would you believe me if I said I don't know too much about watercolors?  
Well it's true, I've only done like 4 paintings in watercolor.. it was only after this painting that I'm starting to learn more about them. So when I began painting this, there was no going back.. I'd either some how pull it off, or create a mess.. I kind of did both, but I managed to pull through after like a week of working on it
