Description My very first Alice in Wonderland illustration, well it's actually from Through the Looking-Glass.
"Jabberwocky" is a poem that was written by Lewis Carroll in a kind of nonsense language, what really inspired me was the song version of the poem by Omnia, one of my most favourite bands. You can listen to it on youtube, in a rather bad quality: [link]
I made the sketch for this pic before I looked at Tenniel's original Illustration, so I didn't mean to chose such a similar composition.
By the way, you can visit my blog here:

I'm off to Paris next week, so have a beautiful time everyone



Jabberwocky

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy.

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

i read it the first time in 5th grade and loved it. then i read it again two years later. and again later. i'm 29 and i just listened to the audio version while painting details a few months ago. i never stop loving it... it's my all-time fave, i think. highly suggested.

Oh Gott, wie süß ist das denn? *_*
Ich liebe den Drachen! Und er trägt sogar einen Kragen... Toll gemacht ^^ Besonders die Federn sind dir sehr gut gelungen. Das ganze hat eine sehr schöne Struktur ^^

So einen Drachen könnt ich nicht erschlagen... (okay, ich kann nichtmal die lästigste Fliege erschlagen... ich bin kein Maßstab für sowas xD)
