Description Hey guys! I've had my power out for the last week. It could actually go back off any minute... I'm pretty sure I've mentioned I'm an Alabama girl? Yeah, well we just had some nasty weather that's thrown everything out of whack, schedule-wise. It's hard to even know what is going on with the power-outage. Power came on here about 2 1/2 hours ago.

ANYWAY! This is my entry for the coloring club April contest. I had fun with it. I wish I had had more time, because there are a lot of details. I did get to play around with a few techniques, but mostly I laid down basic color. >_> I wonder if you can tell which part I did when I had time, and which I did in the last hour?

I was actually going to do it light, but I couldn't help but notice the broken glass in the shape of the moon, and then a sun-like gear obscured behind it in the "clouds." I simply had to do a darker scene to make the "moon" glow more obviously. I think the artist probably put them there on purpose.

The newspaper pattern is one I made from ~sweet-honesty 's newspaper clippings pack.

Thanks.

Hmm, lots of gears and then more exhaust from the machines below. There's rust on the part to the right, because it's been there longest.

Oh, um, maybe 5-6 hours of coloring? I didn't make the lines. Thanks.
"we live on the beach" AWESOME. Of course, the beach has to worry about hurricanes…

Yeah, tablets definitely are nice. ^_^ I do sometimes use the track-pad when I'm using the pen tool.
