A SCI FI / FANTASY VERSION OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND?

In this month of March, Disney will be releasing a movie titled "Oz the Great", linked to a damn classic fairy tale spin-off that never previously existed, or something along those lines. And in 2010, there was a live-action movie titled Alice in Wonderland that was directed by Tim Burton [the same guy that directed the original  Batman movie in 1989 and Batman Returns in 1992]. Anyway, figured I'd search through the Web and take a look at alternate versions of the fairy tale heroine named Alice. I've found two sexy versions, shown on the left and right. The first pinup is by comic artist Eric Basula. And the second poster, which is clearly more Sci Fi oriented, was done  by a CG Artist nicknamed "inshoo". Notice the futuristic motorbike / hoverbike that Alice is sporting in that pic. It looks rather cool and sleek, as she soars above the ultra-modern cityscape. But chances are, despite my words of praise for the pic on the right, if you are a fan of this blog, then you'd prefer to see a live-action movie / animated feature based upon the Cheesecake pic on the... LEFT. The one in which Alice looks like... a damn playboy bunny.

Clearly the pic on the left is more Fantasy than Sci Fi, in terms of its overall presentation. But blatantly separating Sci Fi and Fantasy is almost like splitting the delicate veil that distinguishes between the concepts of Art and Science - they are not the same, but they are linked & related. A long time ago I wrote a blog article that distinguished between those two genres, and I gave a lot of examples from the media. That article on Sci Fi and Fantasy is archived over HERE.

And the Classic article that describes what Cheesecake art is all about is over HERE.
