Wacom in Wonderland
Originally I started this project with a demo Cintiq Companion 1 that Wacom had loaned to me. Since I only had the Cintiq for a short while, I did not get to finish the project. After receiving the Cintiq Companion 2, I decided to revisit our friend Alice and add the final touches.
Since the image was 85% complete I decided to work with what I had already created. However, if I were to start over I know I would go about rendering Alice and the Wonderland creatures in a different way. But what it shows, is after having a Cintiq Companion 2 for only a short time I have already changed the way that I work. I am happy with the outcome, but I would simply render the characters differently.
I really enjoy working in Adobe Illustrator. It allows me to create graphics that can be easily re-sized. And the great thing is the more you work in Illustrator the more you learn... even though I was working on character designs.... some of the techniques I used can easily be used to create buttons, banners, icons or logos.
In this version of Alice in Wonderland... I wanted the characters to be somewhat new. I pictured the Caterpillar as being a cigar smoking creature from Brooklyn. White Rabbit had has a somewhat steampunk look. While the Mad Hatter is this fidgety mysterious man lurking around the corner. Of course Dormouse joins in relaxing in his favorite tea pot.
