Artist's Comments
Media: watercolors, Copic White.
Size: 20x26 cm. Time taken: about 15 hours (doing the table cloth took at least half of that time!). Finally, something I'm actually satisfied with!  I've felt like my drawings have been getting poorer and poorer the past two months but now I finally produced something I'm proud to show off. ^_^The host for the night is Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts, also sometimes known as the Mad Hatter.  I love PH! I love Break! And finally, I love twisted Alice In Wonderland inspiration. It's been a long while since my heart fluttered with such powerful fangirl energy~ I think I have a crush. XDNow, who wouldn't like to be invited to this tea party?  Better hurry before he eats all those sweets himself (you know he would).My backgrounds suck so I'd love getting some advice and constructive critisism regarding that, I most likely will spend some time fixing mistakes here and there.

 that tablecloth
you did an impeccable job on it! The pattern reads wonderfully and the folds are fabulous! great!  -- "Nazi penguin suits, eh?" [link] ~Cyborg-009-Fan-Club  "My backgrounds suck" OH YOU.
They don't suck, definitely. AND GOD THIS IS GORGEOUS. I can't say anything else, sorry D: -- °3° Kiss the German! Thank you! I'm extremely relieved to hearit came out well, it was a though job. XD;;;
-- The Mad Hatter is no ordinary garden-variety whacko. Gatecrash the tea party anyway? Ahaha, thank you Mila! You always know what to say to flaunt my artistic ego.
 And I'm really happy you like it! There's no need for long comments, just knowing that makes me the happiest girl on the planet today~ -throws confetti- -- The Mad Hatter is no ordinary garden-variety whacko. Gatecrash the tea party anyway? Wah, you shouldn't be that happy for a simple comment like that D;
Sincerely, the dishes, the folds... I especially love how the checkered pattern fades. I would never have that kind of patience, you're fantastic! -- °3° Kiss the German!  Hehehe tämä kuva saa virnistelemään...
aivan ihana ilme  siis niin syötävän herkku, että~♥Hienosti tuo pöytäliina menee rypyille...tosi hienosti! Tausta on hieno ja idea, lol! -- Väkivalta lopettaa vittuilun! --- If censorship says, *beeb*, I say Fuck you! --- Thanks for icon *SoloPlush~♥ Hihihi, arvaa vaan virnistelinkö itse tätä tehdessä, varsinkin kun kämppis tuli vähän väliä viereen katsomaan ja esittämään piikikkäitä kommentteja. XD
Mutta mutta ihanaa jos tykästyit ja kiitos suosikista, tähän upposi niin tajuttomasti aikaa että on erityisen huojentavaa että tästä tykätään. En tiiä miten jaksoin väkertää tuota liinaa... Kofeiinin ja musiikin voimalla varmaan!  -- The Mad Hatter is no ordinary garden-variety whacko. Gatecrash the tea party anyway? I'm easy to please, that's all. X3 And like they say, simple things are the best! God knows my comments lately haven't been that great either.
I... sincerely have no idea how I managed to find the patience for the fading pattern. I'm an extremely impatient person so it's close to a miracle I pulled off something like that.  -- The Mad Hatter is no ordinary garden-variety whacko. Gatecrash the tea party anyway? Ahaha that's good ♥ I wish I was so easy to please xD'
|D' well, the patience was totally worth it! -- °3° Kiss the German! |

Critiques
*Bonk*
...Let's begin.
Well, regarding the background first, as that appears to be the main worry of the artist, I'd say it's decent, but needing more life, or less open space, it's like when you're making sugar cookies with a cookie cutter, you don't want to waste as much dough as possible, and so must the artist bravely add more to what is already present!!
As for the remainder of the piece, the checkered cloth is actually amazing to me, mostly because it looks very symmetrical compared to anything I can do (I dare you to get a piece of paper and try to make a chess board! Do it from bird's eye view if you're that much of a sissy! IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!
And as for the character, good structure, and if you're gay (or bie curious like me), very arousing, but he needs more signature accessories to make him memerable! A art piece tells a story, and if the main character's a bore, expect the rest of the fable to sink with him (Like a ton 'o bricks!)
Final note: A good piece in it's usage of detail and props, but needs more power! Give imagination only Wonderland's manic evil could give us!! (Though the prop usage of the Mad Hatter's hat WAS clever...I hate him so.)
P.S: Why is a raven like a writing desk?
