Today's prompt in my Llama Nails Time Periods challenge is the Neanderthal/Stone Age period. Whenever I think of this period, I think of cave paintings...so I googled some to get some inspiration. When I saw this one from a cave in Chitradurga, I jumped for joy, because it has the exact same skill level as my free-hand abilities!

Next I saran-wrapped over the top with Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris, to create the mottled look of the background. Then I free-handed some of the figures from the painting with Wet n Wild White Creme:
Finally, I put some matte topcoat over the whole thing to give it more of a chalk-and-stone sort of look:
What do you think?! I think it came out really cool, and it actually looked good on, like an abstract-y black-and-white print. :)
