Description
Been working on and off on this for a few months, 20+ hours total I think.. Never though I would actually finish it.I was going for a blend and digital and old disney film/children's books style. Can't tell if the saturation is too high because my monitor is really temperamental lately.
Gambler's debts eh?
Here's some close ups, minus the texture.

I gave up on trying to copy/paste real playing card photos in because it looked awful and instead drew my own cards.
I love the Cheshire cat
He's going to have to find himself a monocle to go with his new gold watch.Edit: So thrilled this made it to the front page ^__^ Wasn't expecting people to like it so much! Thank yooouuu

Wow, doesn't help that I have a serious weakness for Alice In Wonderland XD
Oh God, though, got to love Cheshire's face! I want one

Alice in Wonderland has so much thematic awesomeness to play with, letalone the actual characters and all the different takes on them. Really nice to see yours. Some people go all out too gothy and dark (good ol' American McGee...), but there's a certain level of sophistication to yours in remaining true to the source material; child friendly with some hidden depth and sinister elements.

Good lord!
Youjust have the most beautiful digital colouring!
This is like it's been drawn with magic and velvet, the tones are just so rich <3
Great call on drawing your own cards too, I think it'd look off otherwise.

Oh my~ This is beautiful! The soft colours and the details on the Cheshire cat, and his paws... and those cards. Dude you seriously amaze me!!
I also admire how you make the characters look like they belong in the scenery! I struggle with that sosso much and its so hard to get right, but it looks like you've aced it! The saturation looks fine to me!
Love love love it <3

Aww thank you <3 I think part of the trick is to draw them all at the same time.. I'll post some step by steps of how I did this, but it started out as a black and white pencil sketch, then I did a rough full colour of the whole pic. Then I built up detail throughout the picture some (then I fudged up the detailing layers and had to spend 30min or so creating a mask over the rabbit and cat so I could do proper detailing on the background without painting over them..) As long as you don't draw characters THEN draw the background but instead draw them at the same time it's a lot easier to make em fit together!
You can do it

No problem, and sorry for the reaaaly late reply, I've been all up in my exams. I've got one more in one week. Then I'm done oh god. Have you posted the step by steps?? And really? Everyone I know does the character separate from everything esle, I think animators do that to, with the separation of the character from the background, but either way this looks awesome. Oh man not with the masks, I just don't know how to Photoshop, I need youtube to guide me through technical stuff like that.
And yup I'm pretty sure I got the links, I can't remember now! Lemme check, I think I have though! Thanks v much <3333

I was tempted to try and hide some cards behind him or something, but I like the idea that he won legitimately better, and that the rabbit is being a sore loser! (Although you can understand him not wanting to part with his watch, but if he's bet it it's his fault!!)

Wow, I am still trying to get my head around using Photoshop, but thankfully when I start Uni in September we do a unit on digital stuff. I become more amazed of this each time I look at it !! Would I be able to use this as a wallpaper on my computer ? I completely understand if not

Photoshop took me ages to get used to, it has so many settings and things! Hope you have fun learning it though, once you get the hang of it, it's a very fun program to use.
Of course you can! I'm really flattered that you would want to ^___^
