THE ROLE MODEL LION


The search for financial independence has motivated many humans to seek various ways to get multiple streams of income. While there are those who indulge into illegal and unethical ways to attain this great feat, others struggle and remain resilient like a lion, adapting its strategies to overcome obstacles and thrive in the face of adversity.

Exploring the world of Hive for same purpose, I cannot but marvel at how the Leofinance community has established itself, and how it's mission somewhat aligns with my financial goals. In LEO, I see the Lion, its strength, resilience and tenacity, and these qualities inspire me to keep forging ahead.

I learn to support the community whatever way I can, and do my little in terms of Staking. By Staking some Leo tokens, my Lion rank in the community keeps growing.

The Lion who continuously Powers Up Leo does not only help to build the community, but he or she also saves for his or her financial independence. This is who we call the Role Model Lion.


THE PROMPT


This artwork was inspired by the Artist Adventure in the Threads Adoption Campaign organized by the Leofinance Community.

The mission is termed: LPUD Participant 📈, and the mission is to Draw/Design/Create an image of a role model Lion.

By Role Model Lion, we refer to a Lion who participates in the Leo Power Up Day (15th of every Month), Staking some substantial amount of Leo Tokens for the growth of the Community and secure financial independence.

Honestly, the Threads Adoption Campaign is really fun!

You can join in the Thread Adoption Campaign here for a chance to win a huge chunk of the $10,000 prize pool, NFTs and 100k HP for your favourite Community.


THE PROCESS

I began by drawing the eyes, tentative shape of head and nose.

Then I drew the nose and a line to connect the Lion's mouth. As at this time, it wasn't looking anywhere close to being a lion.

I connected the nose and completed the Lion's Mouth. The "Lioness" of the drawing began to form.

Then I added the mane, ears, and hairs, and the head of a Lion was formed.

I began to consider what next to do to bring out this smart looking Lion, then I decided to put some nice Tuxedo on him.

It was as though my Lion's head was too big.

But when I added the hand part of our Tuxedo, it got a nice shape.

My smart Lion, completed.

Yet, I felt something else was missing. I thought about what to add, then I got inspired to add a Private Jet at his back. Yea, this is the real Role Model Lion who has saved up for financial independence.

I added contrast and brightness edit to make the image below as my final creation.

I also added a pin crest of Leofinance at the upper left side of the suit.

Reading through this work, there are lots of reasons to smile and lots more to laugh so loudly. It's a nice work you have done here bro and I'm really impressed with this creative work. @ksam I think you have an artist in you and I will suggest you keep drawing.
