CLEANUP
(8 DEC 06):
* Cropped the document to remove all the whitespace
* Added an extra file with the shadow blurred a bit (using the blur filter in inkscape 0.44+Devel)
* Optimized the SVG a little bit (from 31kb to 22kb)
Head and neck of adult male lion. This uses blur to soften the outline of the mane. The sampled jpg used for inspiration rather than any attempt to trace.
