if you look at the queen of hearts one, Shego's burning a card earing very similar to one of Kim's. Little detail I thought I'd throw in there.

So... who took the job of Mad Hatter ?? Ron or maybe Dr Drakken took a part time job ??
Okay before I hit you with a Hammer of Praises I have to throw a bit of pepper into your fruits-only salad. Erm I mean I have to grumble a bit
You know there are two tiny issues with her legs. First would be an issue with her right ankle you see, maybe it's just my imagination but it's a bit too bent down as if it was broken. Second issue would concern her stockings. You see, her right stocking looks as if it was putted on On Both her legs I believe that a simple modification in outlines would easily deal with that :-]
Hmm <checks the comment and grinds his teeth> Darn it sounds Super Rude sorry for that ^^; I didn't meant to sound rude.
Okay but <hits him with a hammer> now it's the praises time.
I love how you have drawn her dress. All those whites and blues entangling around her body covering majority of the naked skin, yet emphasizing adorable curves of her beautifully developed body. Also those cards as earrings brings attention, those are hearts there if I'm not mistaken, right ?? There is something about those colours... although she looks adorable and very sexy there is that coldness. She is neither a sexy vamp nor a sweet little girl. She is calm and kinda cold she neither cares about teasing men with her beauty nor does she think about attracting them. She is looking good just for herself without any implications although... those black ribbons seems to symbolize that she is in a little bit enjoying the fact that Men adore her.
Those books looks kinda interesting as well. Considering the fact that three of them are on shelf and other two are going upwards one can assume that by passing Kim they are giving her, their knowledge and informations they posses. The one that is below Kim is full of writing while the two over her are empty. The fact that they are placed in some kind of... vertical tunnel and that fact that books are travelling upwards could symbolize that knowledge humankind posses is something that brings enlightenment and development to the human's mind, that it drags them upwards closer and closer to stars people always looked up to as the symbol of perfection and infinity, immortality.
Of course one could interpret it in the other way. If those books are travelling downwards it can mean that every single person has a lot of stories within themselves which could be written down in countless volumes.
Okay okay but time to end this philosophizing.
One another thing I love about Kim is her face. She looks a bit... confused ?? But not shocked, maybe a little tiny bit scared, she is just surprised by whole situation, maybe a bit apathetic as if drugged a bit. That's quite understandable in her situation, everything around is like a mad dream and the only thing she can do is to plunge into that dream and enjoy it. She seems to be asking Rufus what is actually going on. I kinda can't take my eyes off her lips they look really natural and look kinda sweet the way you drawn them
Another being I really like is of course are lovely Naked Mole Rabbit. He looks just adorable being white, not to mention that he is as cheerful and happy as always.
Mhm A truly great picture :-]

firstly, thankyou for your honesty and criticizm. If there were more deviants such as yourself I believe the art community would be a much better place as you comment on both the highs and lows of artists work encouraging them to work on their flaws and improve their strenghts as artists. I always appreciate comments such as this one, I just wish there were more. A lot of the symbology was taken from the book Alice in Wonderland, as is the falling down the long thin shaft, a rabbit hole to be precice. The emptyness of the books is more a matter of loosing knowlege, since those who go into wonderland generaly begin to loose their minds the longer stay becomes. So yes, her expression is a blend of both confusion and a sense of overwhelming knowlege as she forgets the further she falls.
The detailing on her clothes is more my own fashioning of the clothes traditionaly represented with Alice, but with a slight twist to my own style and prefference, so I'm glad you like themYes, those (are hearts on the playing card ear rings aswell) I'm glad that someone picked up on the cold colouring, to me the mind is the key to the entire body, so the loss of memories is almost loosing your heart and soul, and becoming more empty to an extent.
And yes. White Rabbit Ruffus, is the shizniz.
Thanks for the kind words.

O_o Wow, you know what ??When I see reaction like this one, I really feel that writing long and detailed comments is worth it
Oh so that's the symbolism of the shaft... heh I really should read that book, up to know I just remember few things from cartoons I watched as a kid.
Heh, what makes us ourselves are our experiences and memory and when we loose both, what we become ?? Empty shells, it makes me think about Ghost in the Shell movie.

I wouldn't be suprised if Shego was the queen and Drakken was the king...

"Sure" is one of the most common answer’s you'll get from me...yup...
:icondieddead46:
