Guys I'm at a total loss on what to do with my lion. I know I want a full body mount and would like something moderately to very aggressive. Other than that idk. I've changed my mind about a million times on what I want the pose to be so any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Simple, just tell Dennis you're a little concerned that he will do something boring with your lion, that it seems like he is in a rut.... that ought to do it! :A Phone:
 
Oh lord Royal.
I have really liked this as an idea but with an open mouth.

I'm open to suggestions. My concern is that the mane wouldn't look right as the mount isn't really running.
 
I like this too but it may be a little too much idk.

Here's a photo of my boy. Needless to say I know your dilemma.

Damn Gizmo, what a horrible position to be in. Truly, I feel sorry for you. :)
trust me, I'm not complaining just lookin for some ideas.
 
That is a good lookin kitty. I'm hopin a few folks will pitch in with some more ideas. These three and a jumping pose are my favorites so far.
 
I like the one with the Zebra!!!!

Brings up a great point though. Whatever Dennis does, you've got to put one of these on the lion.

GIZ the beauty of this is you get the pic you want and it's done...
I'll send pics of the pose alter till you say that's it. Then when we do the face you see pics and we one the eye more close them more and set the snarl or the pant or growl...You find the pic of a live one and I"LL MATCH IT !

The first one I SEE TONS of potential..... with a slack jaw heavy pant...Imagine that cat pose but his body is canted 30% of center balance that will increase his speed 100% .keep his head straight and focused , he will look 100 faster as his weight will be offset and fighting gravity thus giving the impression of much more speed to do this...The head straight gives it much more of the KILL you look, just think about how predator birds fly and a cheetah runs ,,, his head when doing hard turns always stay straight and level.
 
With a slack jaw on the run we can move that heavy lower lip slightly to one side a 1/4 inch and the turn would look even harder as gravty and the energy of his execration would have the lower skin and jaw catching up to him Kinda like g force effect...I'm getting to technical....but I see a awesome mount to be had with that pose.
 
Last but not least Giz We CAN make that MANE flow BACK just like he's running. NO PROBLEM

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
Big areas means BIG ELAND BULLS!!

Do you have any cull hunts available? 7 days, daily rate plus per animal price?
