The Caterpillar and His Shroom Hookah by Jadesandwich on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Man, that mushroom/hookah - or the shmookah, as I like to call it - must give you one HECK of a TRIP. haha

The Caterpillar is perhaps one of my all-time favorite literary characters. Sadly, I feel like almost every film re-make of Alice in Wonderland does a TERRIBLE job of re-creating the Caterpillar. In the book, he has such a mysterious, dreamy, almost drug-like atmosphere about him. I purposely kept a lot of the original details from the original art in Alice in Wonderland, such as the body posture (though, of course, I put my own spin on it. I got lazy/tired with the background so sorry about that). I really want to honor the original art work and spread its awareness.

If you like Alice in Wonderland, make sure to check out my original work on the Mad Hatter: link here: [link]

There's a lot of "Alice in Wonderland"-inspired works out there. Sadly, I feel like too few of these artists have actually read the original book from cover to cover. Consequently, not many know that there is original artwork in "Alice in Wonderland". To honor the brilliant art in the book, I tried to mimic the inked, lined/cross-hatched shadow style the original uses.

-Pigma pens
-Paper
-Mechanical pencil
-Referenced the original "Alice in Wonderland" artwork for help/inspiration~

I always hide my signature into the drawing instead of using a watermark lol see if you can find it~
