10" x 14" color pencil on smooth bristol

A long overdue gift for my friend Teh-evil-tigress Teh-evil-tigress Psssst...Give her a watch!

A lot of experimentation and haphazard attempt at lighting and shadows.
I'm calling her done enough to post but I will be picking at it for a few days, especially the back ground.

My photo light stopped working, so the colors came our quite poor. Ate most of the blue in all the shading which really made things pop, especially the wings. I'll try and get a good scan and repost Monday.

I really had fun doing the wings and they weren't to time consuming, just tried not to over think them. I love working with white and grays and browns and black and the wings made me want to do a snow leopard :D been wanting to do one for a while but now a gotta do. A male this time. Gonna sketch tonight and Hopefully start color tomorrow.

Critique and comments always welcome.
