Description
The 5th house of the Zodiac: Leo the Lion, the Savage Nobel, etc. I've associated this proud fellow with the sword, mainly on the basis of thematic appropriation. I've had trouble deciding which weapon I should associate with this guy, whether the sword or the sickle; why the sickle you ask? Well, for starters, the constellation of Leo has a sickle in it (Google it), and the sickle and/or scythe resembles a giant claw (not like a crab claw, but a slash claw), something unique to Leo amongst the zodiac. However, I've given the scythe to another of the Zodiac, whom shall arrive shortly.I'm amazed how well this came out, and in such a short amount of time (roughly 4 days). You might notice this guy has....more detail than some of my other Zodiac sketches. Reason being I've drawn lions before, many of them, and the other Zodiac have been a first time for me. So, I might as well make this guy more detailed. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I am a Leo, and that Leo is the reason I like lions so much. :3

Nice job! You ever considered making any art for the Chinese Zodiac signs?

I have, actually! Though I'm not sure exactly what to do with 'em, since my knowledge of the Oriental Zodiac isn't as in depth as the Western. :I

I think he'd be more likely to take you home with you.

Hooray for Leos!
I love the nonchalant way he's holding a ton of steel over his back.
