The use of browns, blacks and whites here (I'll place money that gouache was used here somewhere... what a great word... gouache) give this a fantastic 'old, withered' appearance. The use of the faux-spotlight, plus the washed out colours in the leopard's face really say 'lifeless' to me. Wow... I feel like that some Monday mornings, I can tell you.
Cannot sleep... zombie cats will eat me.
