Artist's Comments

Something I did for school! I'm really happy with it. I'm thinking about posting the individual illustrations in scraps? Just so anybody that might want to look can see the big versions :D

If it wasn't yet clear, these are characters from Lewis Caroll's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. Two of my all-time favorite books. :heart: If anybody's unfamiliar to you, feel free to ask and I will introduce you.

Regarding character interpretations, I mostly based the more abstract characters on Tenniel's illustrations when I could, but tried to integrate as much of my own vision in them as possible. I also ended up drawing Alice pretty close to the Disney version (actually, nearly identical) because the look was already established and I wanted her to be easy to identify. (WOW, wayyy too much talking.)

Title taken from a collection of short stories based on Caroll's books put together by Margaret Weis. If you can get your hands on it, I definitely recommend it.

Technical pens, watercolors and colored pencils.

Oh gosh, an Alice alphabet-- that's brilliant. I love how they work together as a whole, but can stand alone as separate pieces~
