Description I'm posting this one by itself because I'm pleased with how it came out.

For a while I worked at Groundspeak, the world's leading geocaching company, which owns www.Geocaching.com .

For those not familiar with geocaching, it is kind of like a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS or GPS-enabled device (like a cell phone) to find things that other people have hidden all over the world. (Click here to learn more about it! ) At Groundspeak, I worked on a project called "souvenirs" which was kind of like an achievement system for geocachers. A souvenir is just a small image, like the kind you see here, that appends itself to your geocaching.com profile when you log a cache that satisfies certain conditions.

The 'big five' makes a nice souvenir The picture is beautiful. I especially like the lion's head. It looks very realistic. And the light and the way you painted the mane make it even more so

Wow, amazing job on all the textures and details. I'm especially impressed by all the detail in the water buffalo's horns. How did you achieve that? Textured brush, a lot of layering of strokes, or a combo of both?

Dude, I love geocaching. I have quite a few souvenirs, but none from other countries (yet). Maybe I'll go to South Africa someday and earn one there. This is excellent!

Mm my favorite part is the amazing range of TEXTURES. Goodness look at all them, from wrinkly dried skin, to fluff, to rugged horns. Stunning.

My boyfriend is from South Africa, he'd love to see something like this.
