You have a great sense of observation but i feel you need to draw more from life and paint less so you can get rid of those stiff figure that if you would like to improving your gesture.

On the topic of the lion he feel almost comical i suspect that not the style your after from what i see you do typically i would encourage you to use more reference when you tackling something your not familiar with specially if you are not gonna do any preparatory study of subject unfamiliar to you.

Darktiste, yeah, a photo i posted is a block in, it's pretty far from what i want the finished painting to look like. There's plenty of ref material for the lion as well, it's just a beginning stage. Here's a sketch for this painting i posted last year.
