Going Down the Rabbit Hole...

Guess what, I actually finished an earlier mission; 'Alice in Wonderland'!
Since the original post is from early September 2011 and buried way down the rabbit hole, I'll post it here.
Alice and the White Rabbit!

Alice in... Steampunkland?

No, I'm still not finished with Batman. Partly because I kinda, sorta started re-working Alice... I'm hopeless, I know. Here's a little sneak peak of the direction I'm taking it (this time)

If you want to know more of the development of this piece, check out my blog

Alice in Updateland

Just a tiny update on Alice. And yes, I know, I'm totally blocking the feed with these :D

Think I'll just go with painting instead of vectors. Made a quick color test last night and kind of like it.

***EDIT***

As I don'twant to block the whole blog with these I'll just post some updates on Alice here. Sadly I still haven't had the time to finish the pic, not to mention starting the sceleton armies... But I'll get there. Some day, LeSigh.

This is my first attempt at Alice. I'm pretty happy with the muscle tone on the arm but everything else is just somehow... off.

So I did another try with a complitely different palette. I like the cool almost dead pallor of her but it doesn't fit the mood of the pic.

So then I decided there's a problem with the whole composition and kinda re-did it... I got this idea from the dead colors in the last try. Nothing makes you look as strung out and gray as the subway lights.

I love the composition and the "story" in the image now but am so fed up with painting her face at this point that have no idea if I'll actually finish this or not :D

And yes, the White Rabbit does have a Cheshire Cat button in his jacket. As one does.

Week 3: Alice in Wonderland

As it seems I won't have time to finish this any time soon, I'll just post the line art for the Alice in Wonderland piece. As you can see the idea is for this to be a new banner for my blog. Whenever I get around to finishing it.
Haven't yet quite decided which style to use with this one. Loved making the vectors so much that I kind of want to do this like that too. Then again I could make it really magical with Photoshop and shading like hell...Yeah, this might take a while :D
I'm also totally open for suggestions so if anyone has any strong feelings about the style then now is the time to open it :)

Anyways, here's my Alice and my personal favorite character of the books: the White Rabbit.

Mission 3: Alice in Wonderland

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"
-White Rabbit

Originally, I added that quote just to start off with an apology about my tardiness, I meant to post the mission yesterday. But then I got thinking. However much I love the mission I had planned, I can just do that next time. As Alice in Wonderland is something I've personally wanted to delve into for ages. The book is full of fantastic characters for us to pic from and with the recent butchery of the story by Mr. Burton, I think its time it was given some of it's grandeur back. So Alice in Wonderland it is. Have fun in the world of flamingo croquet and grinning cats!

Also, as it seems we are all quit busy at the moment, this will be a two week challenge.
