Yes, he is wearing the skin of a lion's head as a vest.
Happy with:
The loincloth made with the leopard pattern.
The skin, tried a different technique with blending instead of washes and gave much more depth the skin.
Getting so many brown variants on one model and keeping them all separate.
Not happy with: the brick dust on the grass and ground, much too heavy on what I wanted.
Could have gotten a little more definition to the mane on his vest.
