Red hot

More experiments; I will get around to proper illustrations at some point, but just playing for now. I was actually quite pleased with this little shading excercise!

Illustrative void

I'm afraid I've been busy catching up with people and venturing out to Millhouses Park and Castleton; meaning little more time than to do my part time admin job and conceptualise illustraion ideas. I promise I'll get going again asap x

'Alternative Alice' - White Rabbit (on my shoulder)

Doing the last blog entry I had a great idea for an illustration combined with a photo; something I've been wanting to try for ages.

I also used this opportunity to try shading to help it fit with the photo better and to improve my technique.

'Alternative Alice' - Rebel Alice

I am aware that Alice is a bit of a rebel anyway but I thought I'd push it a step further.

What if Alice was rebellig against her own storyline? Stealing the watch from the White Rabbit, smashing the food and drink supposed to be consumed, painting the roses black and so on.

'Alternative Alice' - The White Rabbit

The White Rabbit was somewhat obscured in the last drawing so I thought I would bring him out to show off; especially as he's a version I'm proud of in his 'SteamPunk' getup!

Also, more hand-lettering. Something I may have to explore a bit more; especially with the influence Andy Smith is having on me lately. I've been a fan for ages but just lately I've been absorbing the stuff from his RSS feed.

'Alternative Alice' - cute

A bit of hand-lettering practice...


...some cartoons...

... and here it is at last.

My interpretation of Alice, the March Hare, the Dormouse the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit, with some tea, painted roses, drink me/eat me catering and a croquet hedgehog.

The hearts were originally meant to be the queen's reign as the bubble bursts but I realise that it seems that Alice and the Hatter are in love, which is a little bit true I suppose.

Beauty and Freedom

This started as a life drawing but I drew a little influence from Sailor Jerry and from the current trend in birds, especially swallows.

I've also experimented a bit with getting rid of black to make the image less harsh.

Alt Little Mermaid Concepts

After 'Alternative Alice' (a modernised rebel version of Alice in Wonderland to be posted upon completion) I was theorising about other characters I could subvert:
