Kasanoda aka Bossanova
Konbanwa!!! Welcome to my art contest! I am Touyanomiko and I am hosting my very first art contest!
As you can see I am an art collector. I love almost all sorts of art, but mostly anime based or horror and macrabre. Therefore, our art theme shall be...
Gomen, gomen, for those who can't read the text very well. It says "Arisa no Wandarando". A japanese way of pronouncing "Arisa in wonderland". Hai, I've been quite a big fan of Alice in wonderland for quite awhile. However, what truly inspired me was the game "America McGee's Alice in wonderland". The dark twist really seemed to catch my interest and at the same time I was also interested in the japanese visual kei and gothic lolita fashion. Therefore, I decided to put them together and make my own version called "Arisa no Wandarando"
Arisa no wandarando is a sort of dark adventure story with a bit of an anime twist. This is where our theme comes in. All you have to do is draw any of the characters from my story. However, add a little something to your art to make it stand out.
Now for our co-host Inner TnM to announce the rules!

Meet Arisa Ridou! The main character of the story and reincarnation of the original Alice. Arisa's childhood was quite a tragic tale, so she hardly every smiles. However, despite all the things that happened to her, she's still a very sweet person. Her life was going downhill for her and her only escape was to read her favorite book 'Alice in wonderland'. However, all of that changed when she followed a strange rabbit man, fell into a rabbit hole, and land right into wonderland! During her travels, she has grown a loving relationship with Chessu and Yukito, and perhaps has become a stronger person. You might not tell, but she's holding an ace of spades. She's fights with a deck of cards, so remember to add that in! 
Meet Katapira or Pira for short! She's the wise caterpiller of the story and also a chain smoker. She's the leader of the rebellion group against the queen and is the type of person who perfers to do the thinking not the fighting. She spends most of her time at the hideout, smoking her brains out, and holding meetings with other members of the rebellion. Other times, she tries to contact Arisa and the guys to see how they're doing. Pira is very wise, sexy, and clever, but she can grow annoyed with some people(Like Chessu). She was actually suppose to have a 'Long Drag' in her mouth instead of a cig. So draw that instead of the cig. 
Meet the March Hare! Now, in my version March Hare is not alive. She use to be alive, but when Hatter refused to create corspe soldiers for the Queen, Hare was murdered by the Queen's henchmen. Hatter did everything in his power to make sure she was in top condition. However, her heart was ripped out of her body by the Queen's men, so instead of a heart, she has a ticking clock inside her chest. That clock is the only thing that keeps Hare functioning. However, Hare's soul already departed from her. Now, she's nothing but a well perserved corpse doll created by the mad hatter. She appears energetic and playful to others, but when she's not being controlled by Hatter she's just a lifeless doll. 
Meet the Queen of Hearts! The main bad guy of the story. When she was a girl, she admired her wicked great grandmother, the original queen of hearts, so she became an evil tyrant with a taste for killing. She tends to her rose garden by chopping off the head of her victims and painting her white roses with their blood. She wears a mask, so no one has ever seen her true face. Those who have seen her face died within minutes. They say the mask covers up a hideous marking on her face. That mark represents a curse that her great grandmother placed on herself in order to kill Alice. Unfortunately, the curse backfired, but even after the first Queen of hearts death, the curse still remains. Therefore, any women born into the family will be marked with that hideous curse, known as "The jabberwocky". 
Meet Yukito the white rabbit! Yukito is the male lead of the story and the great grandson of the original white rabbit.Though he may appear emotionless and cold, he's actually very gentle and kind underneath. Yukito also doesn't like to fall behind on his daily schedule(He always has to be right on time). To fix that he uses a special silver pocket watch that can move time faster or slower temporarily(That's why in combat he appears to be super fast, but he's not. He also fights with a pair of daggers) He doesn't get along well with Chessu and has grown a loving fondness over Arisa(But has trouble showing it). However, he has a mysterious past that somehow connects to the queen. Perhaps that strange heart tattoo on his back will explain some things. 
Meet Chessu the cat! He's the second male lead of the story and the great grandson of the original Chesire! Chessu travels along with Yukito and Arisa to defeat the evil queen, but sometimes we wonder if Chessu is really on their side or not. He's a troublemaker and is always seen with a grin on his face. Chessu has a tendency to disappear suddenly and watch Yukito and Arisa sweat when they're in a tight situation. However, he quickly comes to the rescue when things get too outta hand(Yeah, he's a sadist). In combat, he's got quick reflexes and fights with his sharp claws. Another strange thing about Chessu, is that he possess a type of dark magic that allows him to create illusions or make him invisible. He's a real flirt with the ladies and just loves to tease Yukito by calling him Yuki-chan or make fun of his bunny tail. Though he's got a small crush on Arisa there's only one person he truly loves. *coughpiracough*
Meet Kogane the gryphon. Though he may not look like it, he's over 300 years old and the only one who's actually met the real Alice. He's mature, kind, wise, and quite tolerant with other people(Especially with Mouku). Kogane retired from his position as the Queen's general many years ago. Now, Kogane's a talented singer and owns a well known club. After Mouku's parents died, Kogane took him in and has been a father figure to him ever since. Kogane also use to be Yukito's fighting instructor a few years back before he retired.He's suppose to have wings on the back, so add those in. His tail is also suppose to be a lion's tail.
Meet Mouku the mock turtle. And to let you guys know, it's a BOY. Mouku dresses and acts like a girl to hide from turtle hunters who eat turtles for their mock turtle soup(No thanks to the queen). Males are the best for soup, while females make the soup taste disgusting. He's a teenager, but he cries a lot and perfers boys over girls. He works at the club with Kogane and is talented at playing the guitar. When he was younger he developed a huge crush on Yukito, but Yukito only sees him as a little brother. Now with Arisa here, Mouku became jealous of her and even declares her his rival.(Ignore the cat on his head)
Meet the mad hatter! A few years ago, Hatter was an ordinary party man who's hobby was inventing new things. Hatter was happy and he loved Hare deeply. However, the queen came along and knew about his great grandfather's research that allowed corpses to be alive again as soulless dolls. She wanted him to create soldiers that are easy to control, but when Hatter refused to use the forbidden art, the queen's henchmen killed Hare right in front of him. He went insane and used Hare's body as his first subject. To others, Hatter appears flamboyant, enjoys tea, and well..he's MAD. He builds life-size dolls from corpses or sometimes living people, but his favorite doll will always be Hare. He now works for the queen in order to find a way to bring Hare back to life.
Meet Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Two creepy teenage twins who work for the Queen of hearts. At first glance they may appear harmless, but take a closer look and you can see the murderous glint in their young eyes. They enjoy telling poetic stories such as "The walrus and the carpenter" and also love to duel. They're always together and even finish each other's sentences.
Meet the jack of hearts. The right hand man of the Queen. He's charming, manipulative, clever, and a bit egotistical. He's a real ladies's man and knows it too. Jack's great grandfather was saved by Alice when he was standing trial for stealing the Queen's tarts(Which was actually an assassination plan to poison the Queen). When he first laid eyes on his great grand father's portriat of Alice, he grew a sort of obsession with her. When Arisa arrives in wonderland, Jack's eyes set on her.
