Alice in Wonderland: 4 of 15by ~saprophilous

Traditional Art / Drawings / Other

About:
A black-and-white homage to Alice in Wonderland done for my Illustration studio class. I wanted to make a muddled journey -- difficult to navigate and from the perspective relative to Alice. Alice as she is (in identity) is unknown. This was an attempt to focus more upon the psychological journey without strictly refrencing previous images and only the accompanying text by Lewis Carroll. My inspiration came from researching the amazon jungle; a world that crawls with life forms easily overlooked. The python which writhes underwater may seem nothing but a overgrown root until investigated further -- one may not know what they are exactly looking at so that the danger and intrigue is inescapable. The strange camoflage and patterns relect an alien way of life among these animals and plants... my hope was to deliver Alice in a new way with a flair not meant to be strictly disturbing/gothic/ or victorian. I hope you will appreciate it.

falling down the rabbit hole.
I felt more as if it were sinking.. like falling underwater with a lost sense of gravity and slowed billowing motions.

Alice in Wonderland: 4 of 15 is a moody, dark and elegant take on a very special image. Departing from the beaten path, ~saprophilous's series on Alice is one of the highlights of this gallery. ( Featured by `stigmatattoo )

I love this so much. I found it a while back and have been using it as my avatar on multiple web accounts. It's great

What's the scribbled out bits? I can see it's like you went over bits of it poorly in photoshop? ): Like, the light grey? Were those mistakes from the scanner?

~saprophilous Aug 14, 2009

Lol, well yes I'm glad you noticed. First I colored with a black marker extra poorly for that effect - then I used a cheap scanner that caught the other necessary imperfections.

That used to happen to me a LOT. It would miss the great small details but suddenly that blip caused by a pen slip is suddenly the focal point of the image. |:

Baww on poor scanners. The image itself is beautiful though!
