#also since theyre the male/female symbols as well and in the original book the cat is only referred to as it

public service announcement to anyone drawing the Cheshire Cat from AM’s Alice games, which I am making because I have been drawing this guy constantly for like three days bcuz my brain is broken and only after scrounging up whatever random images I could possibly find in the depths of google did I realize that cat has the Venus and Mars symbols on the backs of his ears. You can’t always see them and they’re not always even there in official art of him but they’re on his amr model and some other official art. Below is a pic of his model, part of a poster illustrated by concept artist Norman Felchle at a convention some years ago, concept art that was done by Terry Smith (both Felchle and Smith did concept art for the Alice series), and a tarot card illustration I believe was made for Asylum but im unsure by whom (in that order!) It bothered me that I missed that they were there even tho they’re not a huge detail (and also weren’t there in the original, lol) but either way I figured I’d share (and anyone who already knew can go “yeah, duh”)
