Hey ya'll. I've been fiddling with a stupidly ambitious idea of a story for years now but only now do I have the time to let it develop. Still,  I wanna see what I can get out of it. It's one part adaptation of Through the Looking-Glass, one part love letter to the psychological trauma Heart no Kuni no Alice gave me, and because it's *me* there's probably subconscious references to a million other things.

I figured it would be good to get these character sketches out of my system. They're supposed to be a bit quirky, though I still try to make nods to features I see in old book illustrations and film adaptations when I can, while taking extra inspiration from multiple sources. I have yet to finalize the art style I want overall though. Feel free to leave your thoughts. I'm curious what sort of design aspects stand out to everyone.

A character list, by row:
  1. The unimpressed MC / An angry librarian (derived from the Frog character) / A sleepy Red King
  2. The stern Red Queen / The only-character-with-chill Crow / Local con-man Red Knight
  3. Walking accident Humpty Dumpty / Lazy rogue Lion(ness) / Crybaby Fawn
  4. Awkward AF White King / Ditzy White Queen / Extreme doormat Gnat
  5. Arrogant coward Unicorn / Cinnabon White Knight / Creepy Tweedles
  6. Actually-the-Hatter Hatta / Actually-Mad-March-Hare Haigha / The girl with no friends Princess Lily

These are some of the experiments I was doing with the style direction. I wanted some Mary Blair influence, but not sure how far to take it.

Aww thanks! Some of them were a lot easy to sort out than others. Still, I've got a lot of updating to do on some of them before I can be satisfied.
