Zulu Beastmaster

This is a piece that I actually colored! I did this with graphite for the most part. The background I was actually painted with acrylics - at the time I actually had access to some. Being a starved college student I do not anymore, =).

The idea was this - i thought about some African history and was musing about the powerful Zulu warriors. I thought also about European history - the knights rode horses - wouldn't it be cool to imagine Zulu warriors riding lions?? Especially since they are so often a symbol of power.
