A Cat with a Fancy New Hat

Ohherro there!  Looks like I’m updating within the time span of a month and not a year as previous.  /Pats self on the back.  Just an update with what I’m doing, I’m currently working on four major projects, one of which brings a sensation of joy to me.  Hopefully it will be done within the weekend, with the other projects to follow shortly, but knowing myself it would be a gamble to put money on it.  But who knows?  Perhaps all four will be done come the Monday.

Anyway, recently my daughter (don’t look too deep into this people who know me in real life) conned me  into participating in the “Picture Yourself in Wonderland” contest held by Deviant Art and Disney.  Attached with this con was a 24 hours to complete a picture/painting.  Normally, this task would have me in a rut due to the lack of inspiration, but the situation turned out to be otherwise.  However, due to the time restraint, I was not able to delve as deep into the drawing as I originally had envisioned.  I was planning on furthering the piece by adding a background but as is life.  Here is what I excreted out from my head:

For those who are not familiar with Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland, or the movie/book in general, this is the Cheshire Cat.  The Cheshire Cat whimsical creature, a bit ninja-like one might say, known for his everlasting smile.  Both qualities drew me into drawing this feline, and the color scheme used in the latest rendition of the movie made him a prime choice.  Unfortunately, guidelines for the contest state that no watermarks or signatures may be used, therefore I cannot stamp the picture.  For those interested, a write-up on the process of how this came to be will follow shortly. Enjoy, and wish me luck that I win the competition.
