Alice and the nasty head tree - digital illustration

A young girl called Alice in a fantasy world of her creation, is meeting a 'nasty head tree' monster.

This encounter takes place in a wicked old forest full of twisted, dead trees. The tree in question is able to move about and hangs on its branches, heads of past victims. The tree has a face of sorts. Out of its mouth protrudes a long tongue, used to grab its victims. Alice has so far resisted the efforts of the tree during this terrifying encounter.
Digitally painted in early 2024.

Alice in Wonderland is the inspiration for this illustration. It is painted in photoshop to a 8" x 10" format. It features an angry Alice and a nutty Humpty Dumpty, sitting on his wall. In the background is the wall to the palace gardens. The perspective is quite stylised and twisted. The palace wall in the background follows the contour of the hill, impossibly. The tree has stylised branches, populated by equally strange leaves. I still wanted the main characters to look realistic and solid, and not too stylised. Painted in march 2009.
