Coloring

This is from Nikki Burnette's grayscale coloring book (same as the last colorings that I posted). I followed her tutorial, and used prismacolor pencils (except for the background which was done with eye shadow).

This is "Riley", one of her steampunk images, and I love the adorable cat with the monocle! :)

Her steps are soft on the summer grass. Paws wet with dew, she walks the same path as her ancestors. Ancient meows fill the air with the sweet scent of a musical perfume. She feels the warmth of a different sun... one that rose so long ago. Two white flowers bask in its heat, the first ones to live and grow under its care. Kitty circles them three times, gently rubbing her nose on the petals, completing the ritual. A long kept secret drops its veil, as the First Cat rises in the sky, beaming down its sweet, sleepy rays. Kitty bows and purrs, safe in the loving light that surrounds her on this perfect day.
