Hello. Jay here with another drawing for everyone. Back to my usual cartoon style. (Drew this on my vacation. ;))

This started out as someone random, then halfway I decided it was Alice with her cat, Dinah (from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). *shrugs* Then I added one of those period dresses on her (I hope I made it of the right time period). It's the first dress I drew that I successfully made from a different century and with the most detail, too in my cartoon style! YAY! frilly with ribbons...that's how the fashion should be again. *sigh* not. LoL.

And GAH! Dinah! I can't draw cats for the life of me!!! Thanks to Jem. She helped me with the anatomy, but it's still kinda wonky to me. But it's waaay better than it was before. Trust me. But if there's any cat experts out there that can help me, that would be cool. :D

Yep. Well, I hope you like this. Critiques and comments would be nice. This is just a draft, of course. :)

OMG!!! I love it! It looks like you made Alice as a young adult, very fancy :p And I don't know what you mean about the wonky cat. Seems better then fine to me! And I completely adore her dress! So frilly...:D

P.S. I'm horrible at critisizing things. I can't see anything wrong with it anyway. I can't wait to see the finished copy (if you post it). ;)

Aww. Thanks, Emily! :D Yeah, this is not canon to LGW. Well, I think I mixed both AIW & LGW together. But I wanted to share it anyway. ;)

I'm not that good at drawing animals so I can see the wonkiness, but thank you for not seeing it. It makes me feel better. LoL!

And of course, I'll post the finished copy. :)

Why you're very welcome :p And you're welcome my un-artistic eyes can't see wonkiness.

Yay! I wait with baited breath! ^_^

Um Jay that's WAY better cat that I could ever draw....:o I can't draw animals or people or ANYTHING :( But oh well I think I can write pretty good (like as in books) but maybe I'm bragging on myself :rolleyes:

Oh, don't down yourself. I'm just trying to improve myself and I know the cat is wrong in someway.

Alyss, everyone deserves bragging rights for at least one thing in their lives. And yours is writing. Brag away! :D

Well I'm still getting better at it. But right now the thing that I am probably best at is Violin. Writing I am still working at...LOL Should I make a thread or find a thread to put parts of the book I'm writing? :cool:

Nice drawing, TWiNZ! Unfortunately, I don't think I can put it into the LGW shrine because... well... it's not exactly LGW.... but I still like it!

You drew the cat WAY better than I ever could! But something does look a bit off on it. Since I'm a cat-aholic, I'll try to see if I can pin point it...

The body looks very nice, because it's long like a typical cat. Looks very much like the bodies of my cats. I think the problem is the head. It kinds reminds me of a chihuahua. No offence meant there- it's very cute, it's just not a cat's head. I think it's too rounded. Cats do have different shaped heads, but most of the time they are slightly longer, with more of a pointed chin and more of a forehead.

And once again, here I go with comparing.......

http://imeleon.com/photo/246/face_of_a_cat.jpg

http://www.thechihuahuaguide.com/Chihuahua_Pictures/Chihuahua4.jpg

The cat has more of a graceful curve near its jaws and its chin ends in more of a point, also it has more of almosd shaped eyes. Your cat strikes me as having more of a blocky jaw, like the little doggie, and I knwo the eyes are big because they're cartooney (They're very cute, BTW) but maybe a bit more of an almond shape to them would help with the whole cat look.

And maybe it's just me, but Dinah's little fro is kinda distracting. LOL.

I'm not saying that it's bad or anything you know... I really like this drawing. The cat is really good and close to the real deal. The face just needs a touch of refining, that's all... but only a touch. Overall it's AWESOME! I love Alice, too. She looks like she's imagining something.

you should totally post it. :) along with violin composition tracks that are inspired from LGW scenes. you should see Jem right now. she's trying to play Shneebly (our electric guitar) like a violin. LOL! :rolleyes:

Well, hey, it never said in LGW that Alice didn't have a cat. So voila! LoL!

ooh. that cat reference really helps. thanks for pointing out that pointy chin thingy. yeah. no offence taken. I knew something was off. :D thanks, Molly! and I'll try to tone that fro down a bit for ya. haha!

I think Molly is right it has to do with the head..... the head is a little more dog-shaped I guess. Like the eyes need to be more just a little more almond-y shaped. And now that I look at it really closely the head reminds me a little bit of a pug. (no offense hopefully :))

You honestly think "Alice Liddel" would have owned a cat????? :eek: I really don't think so. LOL.

Good, glad the reference helps. I knew someday my reading cat encycolpedias would come in handy... LOL. :rolleyes: I am such a geek when it comes to my kitties.

Wow. Electric Guitar as a violin? Tell Jem she is scaring me. LOL.

Sorry for the double post. Didn't see this one.

Hey, copycat! Say it after I go through all the trouble of studying it and finding it out, huh? LOL j/k. ;)

Ha ha ha, PUGS!!!!!!! I have a pug. She's so ugly that she's cute. But her parents actually came from puppy mills, so she's not purebred. She actually has some chihuahua in her. Like, imagine the body shape of a chihuahua with the face of a pug and the colors and curly tail of a pug. And there's my little ugly. :D

what's so wrong about owning a cat? There could be a random cat that runs around the university grounds named Dinah. :p

yes. we were playing some Taylor Swift on Shneebly earlier, but I shouldn't be talking about that here. ;)

Snakes? Can't look at 'em. They scare the heck out of me. Mice are gross. I've seen my kitties rip 'em open.... after you see what is inside mice, you never wanna see mice again. LOL. We used to have bats but we had an exterminator kick them out. And yes, I am scared of real life bats, too. I'm not scared of bats and snakes the way I am of sloths... like I can look at pics of them no problem, it's just in real life that I freak.

I've had a pug for like two years. I just never mentioned it because I never got the opportunity. It's nickname is the "little ugly". LOL. I am gonna post a pic as an attachement if I can.....


Well, yeah! She's Alice. Not ALYSS. :p

Ha ha, I no longer believe in Alice Liddel. Only Alyss. Frank taught me well. :p
