This is a really late post (or early for some) that I wanna get outta the way before I go to bed. I've been working mostly all day on my most recent picture and I've only finished colouring the background and one of the characters. The BG itself was extremely time consuming, but I sat staring at the picture trying to figure out something to do with it for the majority of the time. The drawing itself, which I'll post here too, took 2 days to complete. Of course I didn't fit all the characters on one piece of paper (that'd be suicide), but instead opted to draw most of them seperately and then add them together digitally. It came out really nice actually.
Basically, I took a series my friends and I are working on (called 'Wonderland') and molded the characters into the characters from Alice in Wonderland. Pretty cool, huh? So, from the top we have the King [Queen] of Hearts, Dahm. Second row is the Duchess, her name is Alice, and then the Cheshire Cat, her name is Fyu. Third row starts with the Mock Turtle, his name is Dave (he's also gay LOL), then the March Hare played by Divadrin, then the White Rabbit, Armelios, the Mad Hatter, Sirus, and Charlie as the Caterpillar. Then the front three girls are Akasha, Erica, and Fyan who represent Tweedledee, Alice, and Tweedledum. I tried to keep the style of the era fairly accurate but also took some artistic liberties to modernize it slightly.
As for the background, well..here's a look at it by itself.
And then the finished Alice:
Hopefully I'll finish this tomorrow, but then again, it's highly doubtful. I work at 5 then have a meeting at 8:15 the next morning...but I don't think I'm gonna go to it. It's just not fair they make me close the restaurant then have me come in at 8:15. But whatever. Anywhooooo, let me know what you guys think and please, tell me if there's anything you think would look cool in the background or whatever!
XOXO

Corrie, that looks great! I love the idea of modernizing the characters. I think my fave is the Cheshire cat :) Make sure to post the finished product, I can't wait to see it!!!!!!
Love you!

Andi is right - it's beautiful! I, too, cannot wait to see the finished version. I think the background you have already designed is perfect - let's see it on!
LYT!
