"Monster-Alice" (Ghoul?) is an order from (Can't call it a "commision")... Em-m-m.... "Alicefag"? (Note: This is the first and the last time I'm mentioning You like this, okay?..)
Two versions of this work are here, despite other options were planned initially. I assumed that one version will feature ugly mouth and torn skin until bare flesh, and the other one would be with more or less "normal" mouth or just without it + "opened" second eye liberated (Sounds cool?~) fron all the hair on face. That's all the difference planned (But now the difference is in little details and colours + light).
To begin with, mouth has changed for both versions to be more "natural" (Usually it turns out to be backwards and the character gets filled with fel stuff and ugliness), but nevertheless, screenshots of old version are attached to this post.
Hair was planned to be longer, but it's already enough of staying off from canonical character appearance.
Background was prepared with various bloody splats, but then after fixing gamma to make them look better they got... "Crystal-like"?.. o:
I was afraid of making wings by accident (those abstract things on the background, yeah) like Flandre's or Cirno's at the same time, but the result looks quite different, so I'm happy. All in all, the background should get associated with 3~rd stage of P.C.B. (Considering higher colour gamma) or Alice herself. Or even better — with her theme!
Speaking about musical theme...
My foreword begins with the lack of my understanding why "ZUN" associated "Doll Judgement" with rainbow. The "Seven-coloured" Puppeteer is clear, but I don't feel anything about rainbows. Only "cold" colours and feeling of getting lost. Not the something moral or mental though. In my opinion everyone is at risk of getting disoriented in space (To round up, this might happend in the middle of the street) and if You have ever experienced something like this the You, sadly, will get the message above. Or more "extreme" situation when a child loses the line of sight with it's parents in a crowd. Disgusting feeling, makes the one anxious, or fear, but not "tranquility" (Mentioned by "ZUN").
The effect of being lost and anxious slows down if the one tries to make this theme more positive or mix with another. I picked the second option.
And it turned out to be better than expected, since I was afraid to spoil the "The Phantom of the Opera" motiff in general (Initially it was without Alice's theme).
And final accord..:
"Pure" musical crossover. Pure chiptune arrangement (With better balance than in older tracks). And nothing more.
