And the winner of the great hair color debate is....(drumroll, please) AUBURN! but you probably already figured that out from the picture! Auburn had twice as many votes as any other color. I appreciate everybody who chimed in with their two cents.

I've decided I'm going to do a companion piece. This is the warrior, so the other will be more of the mage. I see a similar, but kneeling pose, with a blond, white winged kitty facing the other direction with similar rocks but maybe climbing roses instead of wisteria. It's still in my head.

Done in Prismacolor Pencil!
Time Taken: Around 80 hours
