This is a piece I had commissioned my friend did for me. Pictured is the final arc of the very first DnD campaign I was ever apart of. It was suppose to last just a few months, but a few months turned into three whole years. Picture is The Tower of Heaven, which included many dangerous trials controlled by a god at the top for a prize of power and a wish. It is surrounded by a single land path with a raging ocean

The two individuals below are Ulyanna, my elven druid, who is significantly taller than any elf should be at 6’2”. Beside her is her faithful animal companion, Kazimir their dire lion.

This character has a special place in my heart. Both my first character and the only one I’ve ever had to reach level 20.

1. almost a copy of the reference photo.

2. added mane and movement.

3. digital copy. For my first try I’m happy with it. I might add more shading to the bones later.

In honour of my Dire Lion Skeleton that was killed in our DnD campaign. He was a good skeleton.... Well technically he was evil but he served me well.

Dire Lion Math

Because I needed it for something, so I decided to do the maths and figure out how much would a dnd dire lion need to eat.

According to a quick google searches an adult male lion needs about 16 pounds of meat a day.

The average male lion is 420 pounds and around 6.5 feet long.

DnD puts dire lions at 3,200 pounds and 15 feet long.

Going off of just weight I’ll say Dire Lions are 7x larger than normal lions.

So a dire lion needs to eat 112 pounds of meat a day.

To put into perspective, the average cow has 440 pounds of meat on it. It would only last a Dire Lion, maybe 3 days.
