Secondly, God bless Lewis Carroll for giving me so much to work with. I've decided I rather kind of freakishly love Alice in Wonderland, which is fair to say, I think. While working on some paintings for buttons/stickers, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane came on and I think that that rather describes my idea of my wonderland. A little twisted and disturbing but interesting at the same time...why? I'm not sure. Hell, why not.
Anyway, I developed this Alice series about a year or two ago (the concept sketches, etc) and am finally developing them. In my world, the Red Queen is slowly taking over by poisoning the inhabitants of Wonderland...she marks each one of them in one way or another. For my mad hatter, she took his eye...but with him its a bit of a wonder on if he's twisted or not, as she more so took from him than scared him. Thats still up in the air. The one person she really wanted was the cat (think Queen Beryl with Endymion) but he had no interest in being involved in, well, basically anything. I have some drawings where he is with Alice, in some weird twisted relationship, and I have some drawings where the Queen has finally marked him and poisoned him. I think originally I was just developing my own manga, lolz. The Rabbit is twisted, I believe, and more or less as much of a trickster as the Cheshire is. To me she doesn't really talk, just smiles and does creepy things like leading people down rabbit holes, lolz.
Alice has gone through a variety of looks...still not sure i've settled, lolz. Long hair, short hair, long dress, short dress, who knowwwwwss yet. I still have people to be drawn as well, such as the march hair, the little mouse in the tea pot, the white knight...I *have* got sketches or finished drawings of the cat, the red queen, the white queen, the hatter, and the catepillar.
I dont really understand the point of this ramble, and suppose its all thanks to Baileys, but whatever. Heres a sample of what i'll be painting for my Mad Hatter.
