**EDIT: WHOOT! WON FIRST PLACE!!! *o*

Whew! I've finally got around to it!

This is for DixieWings contest!
I'm sorry if I didn't get the chance to work on it any earlier when you asked me to partake the contest! ^^"
But I had fun drawing this AND COLORING IT! 8D (Oops abuse of capslock...^^")

Anyway, Dixie-chan's contest was to either draw her character BlackTip, BlackTip as a human, BlackTip along with your own OC pet, or just your own OC with a pet! ^^

I was thinking of trying to do BlackTip, but when I saw the last detail, I wanted to draw my character Nadeshiko with her phoenix familiar, Kami! x3
I have to practice drawing the Arashi Juusannin characters with their familiars anyway. Dx

I loved how this came out, too! Especially Kami's WINGS~! x3

So hope you all enjoy!
Votes and comments would be nice!

Nadeshiko and Kami (c) MEIN, NO STEALY!!!
Time of Work: 5-6 hours? (drawing, inking, photoshopping in all)
