Big Hakuna

I recently discovered this bust on MyMiniFactory — Big Hakuna by Mammoth Factory — and immediately felt it was perfect for this challenge.

I began painting it on April 4 and completed it on April 12 specifically for this competition. From the first brushstroke, it was one of those pieces I found hard to step away from — the kind that keeps pulling you back to the desk.

I had an absolute blast bringing this character to life, and I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed painting it.
