Turning Nature Into Mechanical Steampunk Cat

For the turning nature into something mechanical project I made a steampunk cat. I used my cat, Princess Buttercup as my model and looked at pictures of gears for reference. I used pen and acrylic paints on poster board. First I drew the cat out and placed what was going to be the metal and gears. I then started to paint the fur. I used natural tones of brown and tans. After I completed the fur I used copper and gold acrylic paints for the metal and gears. For the background I decided to paint a night sky, but with a wave of stars coming out of the cat's ears. This was a challenging, yet fun project. I learned fur techniques and gained more experience from drawing animals.
