Wonderlost: The Alice Project

Alice

Xanthic Eye created a much darker interpretation of Alice in Wonderland characters with the Wonderlost series.  I’m not sure when the series was illustrated, I found blog posts about it as early as 2006.

Most visions of Wonderland include psychedelic-technicolor.  Xanthic Eye went a different route and drained most of the color out of the world.  According to the artist, “The theme across the whole series is to give each character the look of a porcelain doll, with very pale bleach white skin and bleached white clothing.”  The result is a chilling, unique take on familiar characters.

The Duchess, The Queen of Hearts and a Card Guard

Caterpillar

Cheshire Cat, Tweedle Dee and Humpty Dumpty

the Mad Hatter is my favorite. Those eyes are creepy.

    These are very different though I like them. The caterpillar looks female though and that’s a change.

    They all look a bit androgynous to me
