Welcome Back To Wonderland

Description

"Oh Alice Dear where have you been?..."

It has been a long time since I posted something. As usual, some would say.
But today here I am with what I believe to be one of my most complex (if not complicated) digital painting ever!

The title of this painting is actually "Welcome Back To Wonderland" but I can't do italics in titles for deviations it seems...

Anyways, as you can see, Alice is back in my gallery.
The last painting I made of her (or rather my own version of her) was back in 2008 (see this [link] if you want to refresh your memory). And with the coming out of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I thought it would be a good occasion to portray Alice again.

As some of you know, I'm kinda an Alice freak, and when I get in an Alice mood, there's nothing that can take me out.

I started that painting before the release of the movie here in Canada and just finished it last night. Yes it took me that long to make xD But I have good reasons.
It is Alice, so I had to put extra care in it, it was impossible that I'd just do one of my speed painting-ish kind of image. I needed a real serious background and stuff.
The background itself probably took me up 75% of the time spent on the whole image...
Then I repainted Alice's face 3 times until I got it to be like this. Then I repainted the "Cat" 3 times as well until I was satisfied with the current one.

For this image I wanted to try new things. So if you look closely, you'll notice how I tried to play with textures and patterns, most of them made using brushes or by experimenting with my own brushes and various settings.

This painting gave me hell at times and my computer probably wanted to explode in my face more than once, but I think it was worth it in the end.
Just tell me what you think about it ;D

Now onto the usual details.

Alice's pose made with a reference by =SenshiStock
Various brushes used, by
*concept-on-mac, =Falln-Stock, Goro's brushes, ~redhead-stock, *hawksmont
Photoshop CS3, Intuos2 9x12 tablet, xxx hours. (I lost count after 45 and I was still working on the background at that time... xD)

As always, comments/favs/watches are highly appreciated :)
