Mad Hatter's Daughter Appreciation Day!

Click for full size.

Today, we honor our resident artist, MadHattersDaughter, for artwork beyond the call of duty. She has made our site all nice and shiny, immortalized our beloved mods, shared the love on Valentine’s Day and given us all a bloody, gory Christmas to remember.

Studies have shown that the happiness of the average user increases by around 30% upon viewing one of MHD’s masterpieces, invoking such responses as, “Lol!”, “It’s beautiful!”, “Love it!”, “Don’t call me out like that!”, “Why aren’t I in the drawing?” and, “I’m not that thicc, am I?”

And so, to show our appreciation, we offer you our tributes of cringey weeaboo chibis, crudely drawn stick figures and pixelated Microsoft Paint squiggles. (Please accept them. We tried our best, we swear.)

And now, a few words from Tim (and not just because I don't have art ready):

First of all, before I get into the unconditional praise towards this thread's subject, I just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with the turnout. Art, badges, profile pictures, the whole enchilada. Good job, everyone. And great job to Briar for organizing the whole thing. Sorry that I couldn't help all that much.

And now, onto the main event: MHD. The legend herself. Where to begin? Obviously, the quality of her artist skills goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: she rocks. Not only are her little CYS doodles funny and quality (as well as incredibly quick to the scene), her actual commissioned work, with the increased motivation of money, is amazing. Entirely worth every cent people give, maybe more. Can't think of a better deal of art and money that can be taken. And if someone, somehow doesn't believe me, they should check for themselves (hint hint). Maybe use the links in MHD's profile and give her work a peek (hint hint).

However, if there's anything that can match the skills for artistry she possesses, it's how much she cares for the site and it's community. The new site art, obviously, is a testament to this, as well as the aforementioned doodles she does every now and then. The seasonal art, notably the valentines day cards (which I myself was thankful for last year, and regretted not being able to repeat this year), all show the strong connections she has with us here at CYS. We're glad to have a member like her. Heck, she even makes great stories, and if you haven't read them yet, you definitely should check them out under her profile (HINT).

But what I really appreciate on this MHD appreciation day/week thing, is how kind she is. The doodles, now matter how quickly they arrive or how intricate they are, are things that she takes her own time and effort to make for us to enjoy. She's always polite and enthusiastic about stuff, always upbeat, always friendly to talk to, and always, at least, makes me smile with her art. And that's a powerful thing.

I don't think I can accurately describe just how much of a cool person MHD is. But I can honestly say that I could not have chosen a better campaign manager/vice president. Throwback. Smile if you get the reference.

Here's to you, MHD. And here's to great Mad Hatter's Daughter Appreciation Week!

Since I suck so bad at drawing, I wrote a little something, too:

MHD looked up at the ceiling. The tiny little sparkles encased in the paint there attracted her eyes as she leaned back and relaxed in the warm bubble bath. The pink bubbles were soothing, but she shifted her weight as she tried to get comfortable in the tea cup. She said out loud to no one in particular, “These tea cup bathtubs just aren’t made for people like me.” She paused a moment and then continued, “Or perhaps people at all. In fact, I wonder how this giant tea cup actually found it’s way into my bathroom.”

She glanced around the rather large bathroom and was startled when she hear a haughty voice say, “Madam, this is not actually your bathroom, but indeed the luxurious four-star CYS hotel and resort. You are, in fact, in the most revered and special celebration suite, as I am sure you recall.”

MHD looked over and saw a very tall and quite thin man standing near the entrance to the bathroom. He was dressed impeccably in black and white in a fine linen suit. He had a perfectly tied and positioned bowtie and looked a little like a stretched penguin. He was clearly averting his eyes from her while she took her bath, but stood with a towel over one arm and a silver platter held by the other. He continued, “Would Madam prefer her afternoon tea here in the bath, or shall I place them on the veranda?”

MHD sank down into the tea cup just a little, not completely trusting this fellow as she called out, “Why don’t you just leave it out there for now, I’ll be out in a bit.”

“Of course, Madam,” was the reply. The tall man bowed and stepped backwards, out of the room.

MHD closed her eyes and relaxed once again into the warm tub of tea. She wasn’t really sure how she got there, or what was going on, but she was going to enjoy it. She sank down in the tub a bit again, but her eyes were startled open when she realized she could hear the low murmur of voices outside her room. If she was in the most luxurious room, who could possibly be outside. Perhaps the tall servant brought his friends?

The water sloshed around as she scampered to her feet in the large tub. She started to climb out, but had to stop when she realized that she was trying to climb over the oversized handle to the tea cup. She slid around to the other side, wondering why there weren’t steps inside the giant tea cup tub. She squirmed over the edge and narrowly avoided falling onto the floor in a heap. As she grabbed the pure white robe, she basked in the warm sunlight coming through the high window on the wall. The robe was quite incredible: it felt cool and warm at the same time. It felt like it was soft as silk, but it was also like absorbent cotton. She hugged it around herself as she closed it. She closed her eyes and smiled again. It was already a good day.

The white tile floor was warm to her wet feet, which she found pleasing. As she headed for the door, she noticed a tall hat rack with a selection of quality hats. She spent a moment perusing the hats. There were short hats and tall hats. There were colorful hats and plain hats. There were hats with stripes and with stars. There were even hats with checkerboards. In fact, there was a hat with a black-and-white checkerboard and another with a bright, colorful checkerboard. There were fancy hats that looked fit for royalty. And there were simple hats that were still clearly made to the highest quality standards. She stared, almost mesmerized, at the large variety of hats. This was not the first time she wished that she had more than one head because she simply could not decide on just one hat to wear.

There was a sudden thump and she remembered where she was going. She needed to investigate the murmuring sounds that seemed to keep getting louder. She opened the bathroom door and boldly stepped out and into a very large room.

Her breath caught in her throat as she looked around. The room was absolutely massive. The ceilings were at least twelve feet high and decorated in arches, coffers, and ornamentation beyond belief. There were layers of white and silver creating a three dimensional effect that was quite lavish. She cringed slightly as her still wet feet sank into the plush deep carpet in the room. The fibers were so soft they almost felt like silk brushing lightly against her ankles.

She could only see a hint of the opulent furniture in the room, but that was because the room was filled with all her friends, and even a few people that she hardly knew! It was like everyone she knew had showed up and a number of them brought their friends.

“Surprise!”

The smile on MHD’s face only got larger as she was welcomed into the large group of her friends and fans. She almost didn’t see the quite large platters and plates with all kinds of goodies on them. There were large and small sandwiches with bread and croissants. There were cheese trays piled high with so many types of cheese she could not count them all. There were sausage platters and crackers scattered all along the long tables. There were dips that were white, yellow, orange, and brown. And towards the end there was an entire table filled with cakes, candies, and cookies. There was enough food there to feed an army, and there was an entire army filling the large room, all gathered to greet and honor MHD.

“We Love you!”

Everyone there was so warm and welcoming. MHD was among friends and was in for quite a celebration. It was certainly a good day for CYS.

Goes to show why colour selection is important.

I mostly stole the colours from MHD's art (and the OP), but the cup got its colour from commendations. In the future, planning the hair out so it can be coloured neatly would also be worth doing (among other things, lol).

Round 2!

Main Inspiration & References (but not all)

Picture of blood moon in purple sky from Bloodborne. Collection of six item pictures from Bloodborne. 1. Chikage (katana) 2. Evelyn (pistol). 3. Ash hat (witch like) 4. Cainhurst Gauntlets (knight style) 5. Choir Garb (mostly white robes) 6. Ash leggings, metal armour covered by tatters of cloth

I don't want to ramble about the process, but I am obligated to say there was direct tracing in regards to the weapons and blood.

I lined up a reference up to get the shapes, since I only had a rough idea of where the sword would be in the actual drawing, and didn't draw the blood at all (but I did want some). It wasn't one-to-one tracing at least.

Generally, I take a picture and then go over it in gimp to get sharper lines, and colour, but I also might use filters, as I did here for the reflections (perspective distortion & shifting filter).

Other inspiration was MHD's art for the Sci-Fi Adventure section.

Anyway, if I knew what I was doing, the black tendrils would've been cloth tatters drifting in water, but that's beyond me, so perhaps I should've removed them...oh well, I've started rambling.

So, here it is:

Less amateur drawing of MHD facing the blood moon clad in Bloodborne attire. Has shading and a simplistic background, unlike the previous drawing. Still pretty amateurish tho.

Mad Hatter's Daughter Appreciation Day!

3 years ago

this owns so hard. Is that the Moonside Lake? 

Mad Hatter's Daughter Appreciation Day!

3 years ago

For the drawing, I'd say yes, but if you ignore some missing details and the wrong moon, it could also be the Oprhan arena or the 'cut-content' Moon Presence Chalice dungeon, since both have the water.

For the picture, I think it is just the moon above the Unseen Village (once it goes red of course).

I can't draw but I wanted to participate, so I made the vigilante known as The Hatter with Hero Machine. I believe she got her start as a magician, and then she perhaps dabbled with cat burglary before finding her calling as a hero. She targets white collar criminals and leaves tea cups as her calling card after stealing corporate secrets.

It's been over 24 hours since the last post. Are we all refueling our Appreciation Tanks?

While there's a lull, one thing I did want to ask MHD was just how dug into her version of the Wonderland setting she was. I see a map in her portfolio and some other references, is there lore and stories to go with it all?

The original books never did much for me, and there's no modern takes on it I'm aware of that I actually liked. Anything MHD came up with is bound to be interesting though.

I should really play Alice: Madness Returns. Looks like the sort of game I'd enjoy. ^_^

It is a great game and I think you will love it.

I would love to make A MHD TRIBUTE tiny-topia with games from 500 words to 2000 featuring MHD in crazy adventures. But I think people don't want a small jam like this.

I am incapable of drawing. So or is writing or is a no for me. Also, MHD is one of the best writers here too she is the whole package

Long story short, yes, a lot! It's mostly scattered short stories and art saved in numerous places. And it's super dorky because I started to create my little Wonderland universe when I was young but I still love it all.

Essentially the Queen of Hearts was power mad and conquered both the Kingdom of Diamonds and the Kingdom of Clovers but did not manage to destroy the vigilant Spade Republic.

The Cheshire Cat is a terrifying shapeshifting villain that looms over the entire island and the Hatter is the main character, obviously, who goes on her own adventures.

I could go on and on and probably compile an entire book about all the events and politics and characters but I run the risk of being the lady concerningly obsessed with a children's book, if I'm not already.

:~P

No that's actually awesome, everybody has that setting that's a spin off of a real thing they get obsessed with in middle and high school and then keep mentally adding to. I have....uh, a few. I gave up most thought of ever writing about them though because they've evolved too much into their own thing by this point to be fanfic, but are still too tied to the original source to be their own thing.

I suspected it was something like that with you, but actually it would own if you wrote a storygame. Alice in Wonderland is old enough that it almost invites people to do their own takes on it, sort of like Peter Pan. And it wouldn't be....questionable for other reasons, like for instance if I happened to unleash 80k of Redwall inspired fic on everyone one day.

Haha, thanks! I definitely think my next storygame is going to be something Wonderland. I guess I never thought to write about this universe I've spent so long on.

And I've been obsessing over creating a point and click adventure for the past year, if only I could figure out the mystical workings of coding. . .

No! I don't want the Cheshire Cat to be a villain! He's my favourite! >.<

But I'm intrigued by this universe. Where do the white rabbit, march hare and caterpillar fit in? ^_^

The white rabbit is the queen's second in command, the March Hare is the Hatter's rowdy best friend and the caterpillar is. . . A butterfly. :~)

Final edit, and I've got to say I'm so proud of how this thread turned out. I was expecting maybe a handful of people to contribute art. Instead, I was completely blown away by the amount of awesome artworks. I count 29 people who contributed artwork and a lot of those people contributed more than one piece. I think this thread is a very lovely testament to how many people love and appreciate MHD and all the amazing art she does for us.

Thank you MHD! You're the best. ^_^

Once again, thank you for all your artworks, MHD! I may not have been around CYS for as long as most of the other members have, but I remember that one of the first times I contributed to the site was during the noob contest, and I was so honoured when you drew the comic that included my avatar. As I continue to use the site, your artworks always seem to entertain and amuse me.

Really amazed this thread went as well as it did, and it got me all emotional several times lol. This pic was one of them, out really any time I'd look at your profile and see the growing collection there.

Also nice that it turns out we CAN all play together without going off the rails and ending up on fire. I don't think we would've pulled that off even just a couple of years ago with a thread THIS size; we've definitely moved to a more wholesome trajectory, but the respect the entire community has for you is obvious too.

Just so long as Briar keeps bringing enough crayons and construction paper for the whole class.
