not sure how long the contest will be displayed, after it is over with today was the last day to submit. i also don't know how long my picture will last, since it is not the traditional cheshire, someone may not approve for it to be seen.

I have never been an Alice in wonderland, fan.
however for some reason i got all excited about doing a cheshire cat picture, i don't even want the prize! this is the results after i colored it, this was a rushed to finish the coloring, before i left for work at 9:20am.
i really hate color it takes so long to make it look right.

if anyone wants to know i only spent 4 hours on the coloring.
the stripes were a pain. i would not be done if not for photoshop!!!
