Wonderland Entry- White Artist

The completed submission.

So I guess I have to explain myself. I saw the movie, sadly not in 3D, and I was really surprised by how the characters were protrayed. It wasn't the classical view or even the comical cartoon Disney, the film was a colder look at what was once a child's silly adventure. So I guess here I tried to show the original story and the film combined, a little nostalgia mixed with new thinking.

As for myself, I always sort of pictured that if I was in Wonderland, I'd be one of two characters. At my best and worse I'm the Hatter, a dazed individual who goes from silly antics to deep reflection as easily as a coin flips. But mostly you see the madness, the silly questions with no answers and finding logic in nothing.
But I always thought I was more like the White Knight from Alice's Adventures through the Looking Glass. A bit character that is always forgotten even though he was the closest to being truly helpful to young Alice. Plus I always loved his little quote, "Twas of my own invention". So I drew myself as also the White Artist, a bit character but hoping that I could pass on something greater than my own existence. Creating hundreds of things that no one will find useful, but maybe at one point I'll make a difference.

Ah and now I'm rambling. I'm proud of this piece and I hope it fares well in the contest. Good luck to all who enter.
