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.

Daily DeviationAlice 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)

very beautiful! I cant take my eyes from this. Its so captivating and memorable - even in general shape, the imprint is there. I'm sure I'll think of this as I'm laying down to sleep, heh.

Something entirely regal in an unusual way - unusual in that it is threatening but far too much so in an indirect way to be acknowledged. It has almost the opposite effect, which is calming. A really interesting mix of emotional impact! Love the way you phased away her legs, too!

the billowy dress is so cute
o.o *DIES WITH JOY*

It's just - too perfect yes oh geez.
