The lion became my Facebook cover image and the face was my profile image. I drew the image over a real photo of a lion and my photo reacting to the licking. As the real photo got blurry, I started copying it from a separate image. When I did this, I was just learning to use Photoshop so it took me a month and  a half, as I need to work as well. But it was all worth it.  

The style I used here is what I call "watercolor GALAXY". It's like the cosmos is being reflected on her face. The face was base from a photo of local girl in the Philippines. But the style made it an anime. The eyes were a tad bigger, the nose and lips were smaller. The stars connected by dots are constellations. This was my first project that uses the watercolor GALAXY style.
