Noble Leo Patronus

The colors of the Patronus charm could make any animal look marvelous but I felt a lion with its imposing mane and noble characteristics could make an especially vivid build. I envisioned a faithful and adamant lion glowing in shades of blue and started from there.

This lion features movable legs, spine, jaws and even thumbs. My favorite part is the joint I placed between the upper torso and the rest of its spine. It allows bending of the back for many different postures such as sitting. The joint stays hidden in every position because of curved slope pieces that slide in and out under the shoulder girdle.

The front paws have movable thumb claws whereas the rear paws/feet are double-jointed to give them a more realistic anatomical shape. There are so many great angles and poses that it was hard to choose just 5 photos.

This took a lot of mindful work as I just kept polishing everything even after I thought it was ready and rendered. I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
