Thumb

Artist's Comments

Hatter25 Challenge prompt: "water".

This one is sort of scary, but it's a three-part story in pictures. Trust me, nothing will happen to our Alice. There's always a happy payoff.

I can't remember if I've ever colored an underwater scene before. I just fudged it inexpertly, hopin' it looks cold enough.

I was inspired by that beautiful Tom Waits tune, "Alice".

Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice

Unbelievably amazing. Twelve thumbs up. In a row. With a gold star for each thumb.

Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus. ~Alphaville

I'm not sure what to say about this one... It works. I was a little taken aback by it. I actually was thinking "Oh no". The cold feeling is definitely there and the darkness at the bottom helps it feel deep and adds to the scariness and uncertain outcome.
Burrr, does look cold!

Beautiful job :D

That is a little scary, but the promise of happy makes me feel better. ^_^;

Some days you are the windshield, and some days you are the bug.

Sometimes the "majority" just means all the idiots are on one side.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a cheeseburger.
I had never thought ther would be a winter season in wonderland...

great composition and a very scary scene, made me thought of a totally different yet as haunting scene in American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and somehow also Eliot's Waste land Death by Water, not a bad thing to die drowned it seems in the poem; weird the things your pics make me think

your colouring is to die for ;)
Really good job, I like how Reg is reaching for Alice, and her expression. :D
It reminds me of a scene near the end of "Prince of Darkness."

Great expressions. It's so sad the way their fingertips just barely miss each other, and then it only gets darker and darker.. : (

Moose, the perfect topping to toast.
WOW. :jawdrop:
this picture literally made gasp.
not only on how BEAUTIFUL you drew it colored it
*the transition between vividcolors/light down down to darker colors/darkness*
*It represents perfectly the transition between the awake-fullness of shock and terror as one slips into numbness and blackout*

Also the expressions and postures are superb and really work in creating the thick tension of this scene

Reginald desperation to reach Alice and alice desperation to reach Reg as she sink struggles not to drown.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of this scenario

BRAVO! :thumbsup:
