go ask alice...by ~gabrieldevue

Traditional Art / Mixed Media

I felt very honored to be asked to do something for an friendly society (wow! what a nice translation of eingetragener Verein). They do a lot to inform about drugs. I have the impression, that this association doesn't condemn drugs and doesnt glorify them, they help, answer questions and seem to be in touch with the people, they want to help.
They do a good job and i liked the idea of what they asked - The society is called "The Alice Projekt", more info here:

Seriously, when I heard, I could work on a nightmarish version of alice, i got a bit... edgy. I like this weirdo-alice-game for its soundtrack and the settings, but i have troubble imagine how Mr. Caroll would have liked that. I think, Alice is a very sensitive topic and one can get easily distracted by its opportunities. I also would rate this picture not a very good version of Mr. Carolls ideas. I concentrated more on the work of the friendly society, than the novel.

I am not quite finished with this picture and before I send it off, I ask for your critique. Is that picture still understandable?
I am very eager to learn, what there is to improve and what you like.

It' about 70% watercolor + ink and 30% digital.

Very Cool...was looking for pics like this while listening to the remake of White Rabbit by Emiliana Torrini.
Crazy coincidence that the headphones look strikingly similar to ones I'm wearing

I love the definition in this piece! You've really worked hard on all the little details.
So is the title inspired by the song, the diary, or the actual Lewis Carroll novel?

Hey,

What do we have here? I must say that this is an amazing piece of work

I think that the water colors you used give it a overall tone that works very well for what you've done here. You've also managed to get a lot of detail into this. I love the collapsed clock and how you portrayed all the characters. Both the concept of the piece and the style you used are excellent.

I would not recommend that you worry too much about whether or not the good Mr. Carrol would approve of the dark-themed version of Alice in Wonderland. I obviously do not speak on Mr. Carrol's behalf, but he has always struck me as the type of guy who would care more about what his story means for every individual person then whether or not they got the message he was trying to convey. It's very possible that the story does not even have a message. You never know. But I do believe that he would greatly enjoy your work here.
