Through the looking glass...

Alice and Wonderland are always really popular.  Have been for a long time and are really big at the moment.  Real easy to find lots of great works inspired by these characters and environments.  

 I love this first one because of the expression on Alice's face.  Wonder, which is very appropriate of course.  Wonderful radial symetry, hot/cold balance and micture of simple and intricate details.  By Yuumei.

Wonderland Commission

I love the composition of this next photo.  Alice looking over the deep unknown,  one leg raised innocently.  The trend of growing Alice up and sexifiying her a bit is not new or even out of line to the original text.  This one is a bit blatant but the setting and posing are superb.  By mariannainsomnia.

Follow the White Rabbit

Last, an interpretation of the Red Queen and her cards.  The makeup is superb and the model is exquisite.  Also by mariannainsomnia.

The Queen of Hearts

Deviant Dimanche 7/7/13

This Sunday's theme is not Disney princesses.

Anastasia is a great princess who was not by Disney.  I love Cos-play, and dressing as a character is so much fun.  This is a great costume and the photo itself is great.  By EnytheOne.

Anastasia

Another one is the Lady Amalthea.  This woman is the princess, the questor and the freakin' magical animal.  Serious triple dip of roles.  This lovely image is by StressedJenny.

I have yet to see Red Riding Hood done as a true children's tale.  It is a bit grown up, and this Hood owns that.  Good, strong composition and a neutral palette hi lighted with her signature red.  By girltripped.

Lillyxandra at Firefly Path

Lillyxandra is a costume and prop maker with fabulous vision.  Her costumes are confections of cloth that drip with sparkles and richness.  Her works extend from originals and commissions, to Disney Princess remakes.

I found her originally through her showing up on my DeviantArt front page with this Jasmine costume.

I then proceeded to lose the afternoon gasping after her other costumes.

She's not limited to Disney with the remakes either.  Her Lady Almalthea almost my me cry.

She also did the costumes for the music video of Bad Wolf's A Better World.  Here is the 'Ice costume detail.

And the music video which is very much worth checking out.

Lillyxandra's work can be found at her website:
