The Lion Of Letters

#render #renderedArt #3DRender #CGI #CGArt #3DArt #MastoArt #MastoArt3D #FediArt #Xanathon #art #animal #lion #typography

description by ChatGPT: This fine art image is a striking and imaginative portrait of a lion's face, crafted entirely from a dense arrangement of letters and typographic characters. From a distance, the composition clearly forms the noble, symmetrical visage of a lion — with sharp, glowing yellow eyes, a defined snout, and a voluminous mane. Upon closer inspection, every detail is made up of countless overlapping, swirling, and layered letters in a serif fonts of multiple sizes, and orientations.

The color palette mimics the natural hues of a lion: rich ambers, golden browns, fiery oranges, and deep shadows blend into each other to give the illusion of fur and depth, while cooler blues and grays define the muzzle and chin area. The mane is especially dynamic, radiating outward with waves of letters that capture a sense of wild motion and texture. The eyes are the focal point — intense and intelligent, formed by compact, bright characters with just enough contrast to make them gleam.

This artwork merges visual storytelling with textual abstraction, evoking themes of language, nature, and identity. It transforms the raw power and regality of a lion into a symbolic tapestry of expression, suggesting that even the wildest force can be composed of meaningful fragments.

Oh no, my lion fursona Zeiros is now a ghost! As such, he has no legs, and his mane and tail tuft have become fiery, and the whole of him glows blue.

It's my lion fursona Zeiros in the style of "The Lion King" again. I totally blame Angelo Falls for this.

My lion fursona Zeiros, but in the style of Akira Toriyama's Gato/Gonzales from "Chrono Trigger". Very round shapes, very mechanical, but still with that lion shape to him.

Wait, this isn't Zeiros. No. This is an Aussie mechanic called "Stubbs" Phillips, as suggested by someone in Twitch chat. He's big, friendly, and a bit of a goober. Also, he's missing some of his fingers, hence the name.

#Statue #Statuary #QueenVictoria's accession 1837

A square statue base in a field. POV: image taken from one corner, showing two sides of the base. On one side, a carving of a lion, the other a tablet dedicating the statue to Queen Victoria on her accession in 1837. Both sides are heavily weathered and various lichen colonies have taken hold. The lion has a lichen roundel on its nose giving it a somewhat fed up expression

Cherish wild creatures and wild places…

This is an art edited colour photo of a young male lion resting under some tree foliage making eye contact. He is very calm and relaxed in his wild environment. As photographed in Kruger National Park, South Africa

Angelo @AngeloFalls@mastodon.art

A while back I played around with the idea of having a profile ID after seeing someone else having one like this on FA.

For this one I drew Lion Angelo (cos aye why not)

A drawing of Angelo as a feral lion with a dark curly mane and a paw print tattoo on his right arm. He's in the jungle during the day, looking and smiling at the viewer with his paws over a big rock. Big text on the center top says "Angelo"

The snow arrived on time! March is supposed to "go out like a lamb," but this year, it's going out like a lion, which is making my lioness stay in like a loaf. My cat loaf says, "Nope!".

This Is My Glasgow @thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot

A wonderful lion pillaster on the combined drinking fountain and lamp in Dowanhill Park in the west end of Glasgow. It was made in 1903 by the MacFarlane and Co foundry in Possilpark, one of Scotland's most important manufacturer of ornamental iron work between 1850 and 1965.

A cast-iron pillaster at the base of an Edwardian drinking fountain which takes the form of a lion.

Zeiros Lion @ZeirosLion@lgbt.io

Every time I see @ThompsonArt's Bumblebear. Guaranteed.

A picture of a chibi-fied version of my lion fursona Zeiros, holding a huge plushie version of Aled Thompson's Bumblebear, a bear and bumblebee hybrid creature. The pose is the same as the scene where Agnes, a child character from 2010 animated film "Despicable Me," holds a huge plushie unicorn she won at a carnival, shaking it erratically while shouting "It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!"

Absolutely love the piercing stare and the motion of the roar of this beautifully sculpted lion on 125 St Vincent Street in Glasgow.

### Motiv:
Das Bild zeigt einen majestätischen Löwen, der aus einem dichten Hintergrund aus grünen Blättern hervorlugt. Sein Blick ist intensiv und aufrecht, als ob er etwas oder jemanden beobachtet. Die Details seines Fells und die Ausdrucksstärke seines Gesichts sind deutlich sichtbar.

### Stimmung und Wirkung:
Die Stimmung des Bildes ist zugleich beeindruckend und fesselnd. Der Löwe verkörpert Stärke und Anmut, während das weiche, grüne Umfeld eine ruhige, aber auch aufregende Atmosphäre schafft. Man spürt die Wildnis und das Leben, das in dieser Szene pulsiert.

### Technische Details:
Die Farben sind lebendig, mit einem Kontrast zwischen dem warmen Goldbraun des Löwen und dem kühlen Grün der Umgebung. Das Licht ist natürlich und betont die Details des Fells und der Augen. Die Komposition führt den Blick direkt auf das Gesicht des Löwen, wodurch seine Präsenz verstärkt wird.

Seated #Lion Pomander, c. 1575
Probably South German Gold, diamonds, rubies, enamel 2 13/16 × 1 1/4 × 1 7/8 in. (7.1 × 3.2 × 4.8 cm The Frick Collection : https://www.frick.org/exhibitions/gregory/15
See ALT for more info!

“Cast in gold and made of six distinctive parts—body, tail, head, collar, crown, and heart—this seated lion has a pelt and a flowing mane richly mounted with cut and faceted diamonds and rubies. The head and collar are set with rubies, diamonds, and black enamel. The chasing creates the effect of fur. The lion clutches a gold heart with diamonds, which bears an Italian inscription that may be a line from a poem: Che.gire.ancor qu.i.s.oggi orna (Here the heart adorns itself today so as to keep beating). The head, which can be unscrewed, and the small holes located on the head—in the nostrils and the mouth—identify this work as a pomander, a small object meant to contain aromatic substances and protect against disease.” “There is something so irresistible about this lion—his small size, the way he looks at us with his head slightly tilted, how he was sculpted and chiseled, the way the stones are integrated. It’s all extremely delicate. The lion is a pomander, an object designed to contain aromatic substances such as citrus, musk, civet, ambergris, cloves, cinnamon, and rosemary in the form of a powder or paste. If you look closely at the lion’s mouth and nostrils, you can see the holes from which scents emanated. This object is also a piece of jewelry to be worn around the neck or attached to a girdle. Many small Renaissance objects such as this had this double function.”

Artist's description: A bust of a stone lion is engulfed in anger. His forehead cracks like a porcelain mask. The amber colored eyes pierce the gaze of the viewer while his mane splinters into smaller shards of stone. Escaping from within the crumbling lion is a faint red light.

From C16, the Barnstaple (north Devon) tile industry produced lead-glazed relief tiles for local churches as well as ones in Cornwall. At least 64 designs defined by Keen (1969). These, found in Launcells, Cornwall, include fleur-de-lys, swan, heads, lion, as well as several flower designs.

Part of a tiled pavement in a church. The tiles are in shades of orangey brown and feature several designs.
