So, this is for the :iconanthrolicious: contest.

I Chose to do a type of mythology in a book called "Through The Looking Glass." More commonly known as "Alice In Wonderland." This has always been one of my most favorite stories, ever since childhood. It's very dear to me, and the novel also contains my favorite poem which alice finds...

"The 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.

-Lewis Carroll

I chose this for the mythology contest because to me it seems like a tale of a mythological beast in this wonderland.

So here it is :3

(I drew Napalm as Jabberwocky and Ghost as Alice )

I refuse to tell you just how damn good this is.

I will never admit that this is a fantastic piece.

I will say that you are gey. Though, this is not.

The Jabberwocky himself is definitely the best part- just the face alone is amazing (all of the detail in the teeth and the wonderful colouring).
One of your best.

Remember friend as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you soon shall be
So prepare for death and follow me.
