Alice and Humpty Dumpty

And he grinned almost from ear to ear, as he leant forwards (and as nearly as possible fell off the wall in doing so) and offered Alice his hand. She watched him a little anxiously as she took it. `If he smiled much more the ends of his mouth might meet behind,' she thought: `And then I don't know what would happen to his head! I'm afraid it would come off!'

Here is a digital painting of Alice meeting Humpty Dumpty, based fairly closely on the etchings that originally illustrated Lewis Carroll's work.

I think this one is from Through the Looking Glass.

I cheated with various photo manipulations, although Humpty and Alice are entirely digitally painted by me (except Alice's hair), as is the sky.

I didn't keep track of all my references, but Alice's hair is from [link] and the stone wall is [link]

Anyway, I'm happy with the result, and it satisfied my "commission" -- being a demand from my kids of course,
