Black Tabby Games has a death grip on my entire brain rn so here's STP
(I got a lot of inspiration from the designs of @0xeyedaisy , @roomofstillness , and @unfriendly-aesop ) ((and of course the concept art of the illustrious @abby-howard which is GORGEOUS))
And here's SH
(primarily my first and main cousin, Lake)
Heavily inspired by @snuffysbox whose SH drawings actually convinced me to pick up the game in the first place!

The girl herself!!!!
You know the drill by now, design notes under the cut
I don't... actually have a ton to say about the outfit, most of it was just simplifying. I did try to make sure she contrasted with Raven as much as possible without being too cartoonish. Raven has a lot of long sharp shapes, so Apple has short round shapes. I actually drew from the books for both of their physiques; Raven is very lanky and thin while Apple has broad hips and a curved figure. Apple is shorter, but the heels put them at eye level.
Fun smaller details-
I tried to put in some apple seed shapes wherever it fit, mainly in her earrings and jacket sleeves.
I wanted to make sure her jaw was very defined 1. Because it just makes for a more distinct face shape and it felt fitting and 2. Because her cheekbone genes are absolutely ridiculous and I wanted it to look like she could believably grow into her mom's facial features as she aged
She probably has the heaviest makeup of any character I've designed so far. I basically just took the design from the show for this- heavy dark eyelashes, the pinkest blush, and bright red lips. I actually struggle a lot with drawing lipstick in particular, but it feels so right for her character to always be wearing that famous "red as blood" color.
I know that Gala is missing, but frankly I didn't want to draw her lmao. I also don't know how necessary she is, as much as I like her, because Apple is already attended by like a million woodland critters anyways
I have so many thoughts on her character but honestly it's not particularly different from her existing portrayals, so I'm not going to go into it here because I don't have anything new to say that wouldn't apply before.

I've been unhappy with my original design for a while now (I think it's one of my worse EAH drawings too, design aside) so I gave her a good sprucing up. I think this does a better job conveying the personality I was going for. New design notes under the cut!
I finished the first design while in a bit of a rut. I really wanted to move on, but Bunny was the last of the wonderlandians and I knew if I moved on I wouldn't come back to finish her. I was determined to make something, even if it turned out meh. And it turned out very meh. Finding myself in a very similar state with my third draft of Apple (seriously that girl is KILLING me), I decided to take a moment to try something that didn't feel so stale. Some notes on the changes I made:
I realized that I had made my own job WAY harder by forgetting my own rules. Wonderlandians follow certain guidelines in order to make them feel like a unique group- namely Victorian-esque fashion. I try to stick to 1860s English fashion generally. There are deviations, like Maddie and Lizzie, but those serve story purposes. Bunny has no reason to deviate. Add that together with the famous description of the white rabbit in a waistcoat and suddenly the whole thing clicked a lot better.
Moving the bell-adorned capelet to a bell-adorned cape also really helped. I love a capelet silhouette, but I wasn't utilizing it well, and this feels a lot less overstuffed while still providing that herald/jester image I liked so much
And some general notes on her! All the notes on her character from the first post still apply btw
You wouldn't usually know it because of the way her legs are bent (plus she spends as much time as a regular rabbit as she does a rabbit girl) but she's the tallest of the wonderlandians. Don't be mistaken though, the height is 90% legs.
Her dress usually falls to just above where a human ankle would be. She wears shorts under her dress, but never wears shoes.
Out of all the wonderlandians she's probably the most actually mature. As in, the most likely to act like a rational adult in any given situation. Next up is Lizzie, but her pride and tendency towards mimicking her mother's rash temper make her a tad less reliable. Bunny is very much the mom friend
Best way I can put it- if they all go to jail, Bunny is the one that's gonna talk them out.
I have once again just made a new character entirely
Design notes under the cut
Alright so I broke some of my own rules but in my defense this was hard because of the choices I had made of my own free will
So, I wanted to have some bunny traits, and I wanted them to be really obvious. I took some inspiration from the rabbitfolk/harengon in 5e dnd, and I really wanted her to be able to leap like a rabbit while in her humanoid form, so I just said fuck it and gave her full rabbit legs. Where does the human end and the rabbit begin? Hell if I know, I just thought this looked cool. Gave her pale eyes, buck teeth, big ol' floppy ears, all the prime bunny traits.
Outfit wise, I had to get creative. Because of the weird rabbit anatomy I had to make sure that her outfit was very loose, so she's the least Victorian of the wonderlandians. She's got a cowl and a short cape, which I wanted to emulate the silhouette of some kind of royal messenger. This is a bit mean, but I also always was kinda under the impression that the White Rabbit was kind of there to be cowardly under the Queen of Hearts, and that she found it funny. The outfit still needed a complicating factor, so I put an extra layer on the cowl with some bells attached like a jesters outfit. I thought it would also be cute if she made jingle jangle sounds whenever she was running around, so you always knew where she was headed to next. If Maddie gets shoes that go *HONK* then Bunny gets bells that go *jingle jangle jingle jangle*
The goggles and gloves add some value contrast, but they're also practical! Since Alistair is so impulsively curious (both the love and bane of her existence) she's always ready for an impromptu chemical experiment. Eye protection is important, and you really don't want your hands in caustic materials! She loves his curiosity and excitement, but it can be stressful trying to make sure he doesn't die while blinded by the promise of science
They still have a semi-romantic relationship going on, but instead of the obnoxious "oh but they could NEVER like someone like me!" It's more just... Unaddressed? They've been so close for so long that everybody just assumes they're together, but they've never actually put any kind of label on it or talked about it with eachother. It's just kind of irrelevant to their dynamic
I am considering an alternative to that relationship because somehow simultaneously I think Bunny admires and loves Alistairs brilliant curiosity and that their relationship has "he once asked me what the Spanish word for tortilla was and now I dream of kissing him in the moonlight" vibes
She, like most wonderland kids, doesn't really care about or consider the destiny conflict, but she doesn't have more friends on either side, so she's not aligned with either

LISTEN we all love Figayda but I don't know how to explain how much the Ayda/Adaine friendship means to me. They talked 1 time about 1 common interest and now they're BONDED for LIFE!! They are BLOOD BROTHERS!!! And holy SHIT that is so real and accurate to my experience of being a neurodivergent queer teenager. They could talk about spellcraft for hours with utter glee. They could sit in total silence for hours with no sense of tension. They created spells for each other. Not just fun spells they thought the other would like, deeply personal and practical spells that they knew would find good use. "I know you sometimes have issues interpreting what people actually mean" "I have noticed you often want to punch things" and so here is a tool that I hope will make your life a little easier. I'm very normal about them I promise you can trust me
