Description Bri-chan pointed out that today (10/6) is Hatter Day! This is my contribution on short notice -- a couple of sketches I've had hanging around.

I feel like Reggie's hats would be all over the map in style, from the understated to the absurd. I've always wanted a big crazy hat with a ship on it, and I bet Reg would whip up something gorgeous.

On the right he's being all broody and Mr. Darcy in his Regency coat and wee ponytail. No doubt filled with lovesick consternation for Alice, that problematic doxy. Will he go striding, Heathcliffe-like, across the gabled moors in search of her, only to be distracted by a squirrel? TIME WILL TELL.

Here's to you, Bri and Rain! Your Hatter has my heart.


props: Reg the Hatter belongs to &
materials: pencil + Paper
music: Cousteau, "Last Secret of the Sea"

That hat would break your neck. O.O Though I did see one old timey one with a peacock on it-and the peacock had CANNONS in front of it! Two of them! The thing was MASSIVE. I can't imagine it being practical under any means-unless the cannons actually worked and it was supposed to be a means of stylishly smiting your enemies, with the added bonus that their family would have to deal with the humiliation of their family member having been dispatched by a hat.

...I want one now.

Lovely pictures!

Loooove it! It really would be nice if they had more insane hats in his shop at Fantasyland.
I was so mad when I went to Disneyland in August- I was going to get a mad hatter hat but they were all out! They were going to restock the entire park that night we were leaving. How unfair.

broody suits him well! Oh and all those 'orange pompom' comments you're getting on your main page are from WCMI readers. We thought you might need a cheering section to help you with that zoo segment.

Ha ha! ;D You guys are seriously awesome. I'll tell you something: I started to redraw the whole thing. I'd done it the first time on inferior paper and it was really subpar. I guess I got so far into it that I thought I couldn't start over, but it's worth it. At least, I really hope it's worth the wait. You guys have been ridiculously patient. Thank you for the encouragement!

Gah! I can't believe I missed Hatter day!
I've been really pining for the WCMI stuff, Reg always makes me smile (or swoon!)
I love your versions of all things Hatter and Alice related because you always manage to get so much emotion into the picture
Reg being all Mr. Darcy is defiantely deserves some fan-girl sighs
I don't think I've been this flustered since he danced the Cumbia with Alice!

Ahh, I totally missed Hatter Day! D: This is splendid, Reggie so very regal and his hat so very...nautical? xD Quite the perfect combination.

Also, I bet after posing for this portrait (or even during) he would turn towards the artist and make silly faces at them when they weren't looking. Ah, yes, that would be about right...^-^

Happy Belated Hatter Day!

Oh my! Reggie ala Mr. Darcy is too delectable to resist! Why can't Alice see this? Oh well, more for us fangirls who truly understand...

And now I must make you that hat...but how to "ship" it safely. (Sorry for the pun, I have a condition, but I am serious about wanting to make you that hat...)

lily-fox In reply to CrumpetsontheRun [2010-10-08 06:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Ooh! Which hat are we talking about? The one in the picture? Another girl is going to try to whip one up, too, and I would LOVE to see more people try it! That would make me so happy.

I think Alice simply spends too much time with him. If he were to ignore her for a week, she'd be just dyin' for his company!

CrumpetsontheRun In reply to lily-fox [2010-10-09 05:59:22 +0000 UTC]

The Ship Hat, but of course! I need to gather the materials, and then there will be a hat. May make a birdcage one while I'm at it, just cause, you know, who doesn't want a birdcage hat? Or a teapot? Oh dear...I seem to have caught a Reggie Bug...symptoms consist of squirell hallucinations and outrageous hat making!

And I conqur on the Alice's affection theory. But would Reginald be the type to think of such a tactic?
