AiW: 'Royal Distraction'

Here's the first pic I got done on my holiday. Started it shortly before I left, and got it finished surprisingly fast. It actually contains throwbacks to all my previous Malice pics - the setting is like the first, the pose is similar to the second, and it has an exposed chest like the third......because I'm classy like that (speaking of which, the White Queen's chest? Did that part on the plane from the UK to France. I kid you not.)

The castle took quite a while, but was fairly easy given that I have over 3,000 HD screenshots of the movie to use as reference material. I was originally going to have the castle in the first pic I did of these two, but I chickened out.

There is a slight problem I always encounter with these two - the skin tones. The White Queen is obviously very pale, but make her too desaturated and she just ends up looking like she's made of stone. Then you bring Alice in, who should have more colour to her, but is actually rather pale herself. For quite a while during this pic's creation Alice looked like she had a really dark tan, until I finally got the balance right near the end.

Anyhoo, that's enough rambling. Enjoy
