My way

Description

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get
somewhere," said Alice.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."


Part of my favorite scene from Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland and partially what inspired this piece.

I was doodling at work about a month and a half ago (bad habit, I know, but too tempting during down-time) and I came up with the composition for this on some scrap paper. I took it home, refined it, and this is the end result. I'm stupidly proud of it because it is by far the most complex background I've ever done. There are definitely things that could have turned out better, but I'm pleased with it anyway. :heart:

I may try and get a better photo of this later as this one was kind of blurry, but it's far better than the scans I was getting.

P.S. - Look at the Cat for a hint about the title.

what really makes it for me is the words on the cat "my way <3" when u look at the full piece you're like "Oh that's cool!" and then u see the words and its like BAM
